vote of confidence in the chamber of

lister of war, and his confident state

ready, however, and the refusal of a
vote of confidence brought the down

Gen. Chanoine's resignation was the
result of systematic terrorizing by mil
itary chiefs who charged him with be-
ing traitor TO his order il asserting to
the proposal to refer the Dreyfus case
to the court of cessation. Another
doubtful element II the situation is the
attitude of President Faure, who is

Fashoda dispute takes quite a sec

France are, however, being alarmed
and many are making arrangements TO
move their households if war is de-
clared.
