ABOUT THE FASHODA DISPUTE

words there rises above the rattle Of

cheer. given with a heartiness and

expressed IL ito remain passive would
be worse than war;" and the lion IL a
very terrible animal, mighty and all

In this crisis one hears a great deal
of talk of Americas friendliness for
Britain. Many of the articles that have

referred to here, and the people who.
whatever may be thought on the other
side. have never entertained any but
friendly feelings towards Americans.

which will be the same thing as de-
claring war against England. IL will
be seen, therefore. that the only way
to peace is the retirement of Mar
