Dark Clouds in France.

There are two dark clouds on the
French political horizon one is the
Russian alliance, and the other is the
financial condition of the country.
This Russian alliance is both dan
gerous and unnatural If France and
Russia join in war against Germany
and 1t is successful. we may get back
again the left bank of the Rhine and
Russia secure Turkey Thus will we
have enabled the northern colossus To
become still greater and stli more
threatening to European civilization.
But If the war is unsuccessful, Their
what? Russia will lose nothing. She
Is safe in her septentrional Businesses
Europe has not forgotten the expedi-
ton TO Moscow. But France is not SO
safe. Far from it. She is right where
everybody can fall upon her She is
surrounded by many and jealous
states. II we are beaten, Italy would

of the Pyrenees. 1t would be the parti-
tioning of Poland over again.
This alliance Is selfish and insincere
on both sides. Russia wants C0nstan-
tlnople and France wants Alsace-
Lorraine. Each country wishes to use
the other III order to accomplish its
own ends. That is all there is in this
pretended warm ana sudden friendship
between these two nations 50 utterly

and form of government.
In the domain of finance. we are
surely on the highroad to bankruptcy
