The Russians in France.

This makes the third official visit of
Cossacks to the city of PariE. On the
two former occasions, in 1914 and 1915,
they were greeted with the scowls and
execrations of deeply humiliated
pOpulace. But now the most stipend.
Gus despotism of modern times is
hailed through its navel representatives.
as the friend and ally of the first Re-
public of Europe, and the women of
Paris, in q delirum of enthusiasm, offer
their persons to the embrace of the
northern Strangers as the procession
flies along the boulevards.
Yet, after all, this enthusiastic re-
ceptiOn of the Cossacks by the Paris
mob of both sexes is only another mode
of expressing their intense hatred of
the German neighbors of France. If
Russia had been on the Rhine, and
Germany beyond the Danube. the feel.
ings of the French toward both nations
would have been quite different. 1t is
distance that lends a glamour to the
international relations of France and
Russia. But there can be no sincere
or permanent alliance of a great Re-
public, one of the foremost representa-
tives of progress and human liberty,
with semi.barbarous Government
which is the chief champion of reaction
despotism. Whilst a common jealousy
of England and Germany and some
mutual interests of no great import
ance might draw France and Russia
together for time, the opinion Of the
civilized world would revolt against
such an unnatural association. When
the French shall have recovered from
this COssack fever they will be likely
to recognize the Russian alliance in it's
true character. Philadelphia Record.
