illustrated In IVES, Africa. where The inter-
mingling Of French aud british troops has
caused incidents which threaten tho most
grave complications, Happily the positive

been avcrtcd., But the fuse is nlleht and
unless France withdiaws from her provo-

an explosion is bound TO follow.
Some explanation OF the attitude or
France may be found In the desire Of its
government TO turn French minds from
the indignation that 2ola has provoked,

minister OF foreign affairs, NJ, Hanctaux,
bears upon his shoulders the burdens of
the elections close at hand and has to face

Next week tho supplementary estimate
OF Gi50,o00 for the West African expenses
will be presented to the house Of commons
and an Interesting debate may be expected.
Probably the most vital point is not the
