evidently going to be carried out
amid constant sputtcr Of little

ers are falling foul Of each other by
accident, for want of frontiers
marked as clearly on the surface Of
the continent as they are upon the
maps ut home. The mistake French
troops made In British territory on
Christmas Eve, British police have,
1t Is alleged. repeated on French soil.
And the strong tribes already In pos.

crushed without q struggle. On Jan.
