able to night as well. England has al

| the ocean, and the victories of Nelson
are by NO means exceptional. Napol-
con was never able to do anything with
his navy. On the other hand, the war
with Spain has shown the superiority
OF the Anglo-Saxon race on the sea.
Great Britain has always won her
naval wars-except with the United
States.
There are other things to be con-
sidered in a war besides the army and
navy. In the first place there is the
area OF the two countries. France and
its colonies cover 1857 1856 square miles,
with 63,1S6,s67 population, while Great
Britain has 11,325,s06 square miles,
with 381,037,S74 inhabitants. OF Great
Britain's population it should be noted
that 287,223, 431 live in India

nations are enormously wealthy. Null

the nations for 1895. He puts the
wealth of Great Britain at $59,03o,o0O,-
900 and that of France at S4S.450.0O0,-
900, the former nation being about 25
per cent richer.
The question of food supply in Eng
land would be important in time of
war. 1t is one that has caused much
worriment to British statesmen who
have not solved the problem. In
war with nation with such a navy
as France has it would be difficult to
import food. The prices would ad

army; England has the stronger navy.
The army of France is today among
the most magnificent the world has
ever known. The nation that UNDER
rates her in time of war will as GER
tainly rue 1t, for whenever her strength
has had occasion to go forth nothing
appeared that might tend to show her a
shadow weaker than her fellow-pow-
ers."
On war footing France would have
the advantage in that practically all of
her citizens have military training.
There is nothing of the kind in Great
Britain, and the English would be COM
PEELED to go to work to make good
soldiers out of raw recruits. France
demands three years service from all
aher male citizens; then her soldiers
pass into the active reserve, which
position they occupy for ten years.
During that time they are twice called
into the field and each term of service
lasts for month. Her warriors then
pass into the territorial army, or sec
ond reserve; in which they serve for
six years, and during which period
they go upon active service for fort
night. They then pass into the terri
torial reserve, where they remain until
reaching the age of As Thenceforward
Frenchman is exempt from military
duty; but unul his 45th birthday he
attends muster roll once year and
is at any moment liable to active SER
vice in the event Of war. The war
footing figures thus show that France
would have seven and half times as
many trained fighting men. And these

French sentiment no more than the
New York Evening Post did that of
America when the Maine was blown

not be suffered to withdraw. The
French ministry is enough out of favor
now without running counter to public
opinion in this matter. Such things
have been known in France as the pre-
cipitation of war by ministry as
the best means of retaining power. A

not risk war. It is true that the AL

British and Egyptian army, he refused
to bulge without orders from Paris.
Those orders have not yet come, al
though it is nearly two months since
Salisbury asked for them. Marchand
Is still at Fashoda. AS the French
comic paper, LIE Rire. puts it: Mar
chand ne marchera pas" And that is
the situation today.
African politics have been a fruitful
source Of discord between the Euro
pean powers. There is not big nation
in Europe that has not dreams of a
colonial empire in the continent in
habited by the blacks. How this par
tition has been going on is an old
story. France and England have been
the leaders. The two nations have
kept pace with each other in the strug-
gle for land, and each of them, owning
more than all the other powers put
together, they are much concerned in
anything that relates to Africa. And
there are some 1,4S6,710 square miles
as yet unappropriated for which they
are struggling. It is the appropriation
of this territory that is the real cause
of their unfrlendliness.
The dream Of England is straight
path from north to south. That of
France is a straight path from east to
west. The two are conflicting. Both
cannot exist at the same time. The
idea is as firmly rooted among the
statesmen Of one nation as in those
Of the other. When Kitchener arrived
ut Khartoum and routed the Dervishes
he quickly sent telegram to Cecil
Rhodes, asking, "When are you COM
ing up?" This was before he heard
from Marchand. It will be remem-
bered also that when Chamberlain was
in the United States he said to re-
porter, with great earnestness:
Young man, you will live to see the
time when a railroad will be built
through Africa to the Cape" And this
road is to be English-provided Mar
