that the Pacific Gable Company

and the French are known to be expert
| in the manufacture and handling OF
| these instruments Of destruction.
Russia is a strong ally OF France and
no doubt would lend her valuable as
sistance If war between France and
| England should be declared. England
stands alone, but there is little doubt
she would prove more than a match for
her adversary. Recently Germany has
shown a very friendly attitude toward
| England. and her animosty toward
| France has led some OF the more con-
servative diplomats to believe she
would If necessary come to the aid of
England in a war between the two
countries.
Naval experts are OF the opinion that
such a war would be fought mostly on
the seas and that, owing TO Englands
superior forces, France would be COM
PEELED to assume the defensive. The
deciding battles would in all likelihood
be fought off the coast of France. on
the Atlantic and I'm the Mediterranean,
where both nations have strong fleets.
The greater part OF the commerce I'm
the Mediterranean is controlled by
France. and this would fall easy prey
10 England's powerful ships i'm those
waters. frances greatest naval sta
tion and dockyards are AT Toulon. and
this would without doubt he attack
ed by the English fleet. The fight
ing on the coast would bring into prac-
tical use The torpedo craft. about which
so much has been written and so little
is known. The other cities would OF
course he bombarded.
England's coast is better protected
than that OF France, and II would be
almost impossible To land an invading
army OF any proportions there. With
the French coast Il Is different. IL Is
somewhat larger than that OF her pro-
spective adversary. and many weak
points could be found at which to land
troops. Yet IL Is not likely that much
Of this would be done. as the transports
would be at the mercy Of the enomys

nations in the world will be brought to-
gether I'm deadly combat
In speaking of the feeling in England
concerning the French movement in the
Sudan prominent English statesman
said: England will never consent to
French occupation OF Fashoda. She has
sacrificed too much blood and treasure
I'm the Sudan TO allow the fruits of her
hard earned victory To be snatched
from her at the moment OF final tri-
umph. Many OF the premiers of Eng
land have given notice to the powers
that no foreign interference will be al
lowed in England's management of af-
fairs i'm the Sudan. IL means that Eng
land Will not give up foot of the terri
tory she has gained by hard fighting
with the loss OF so many good men,
without n struggle To any other ma
ton" This sentiment has been taken
up by England's foremost men. and the
nation is preparing her mailed hand TO
defend the country she has fought so
hard TO conquer.
France and England have never been
on the most friendly terms. There have
been many reasons for this. France
does not like the idea OF Eng
land ruling in Egypt. Then, again.
France has met crushing defeat at
the hands OF the English troops on
more than one occasion. The memory
of these is not pleasant 10 the French,
and they would like TO even matters up.
The troops OF a foreign nation have new
or been seen In London but once. and
that was when William the Conqueror
left France and invaded England i'm
1861. Since then England has more
than repaid France for her blow.
England Is always ready TO protect
what she has gained at the point Of the
bayonet. Her powerful navy and ar
my are always prepared 90 attack an
unfriendly power. The conditions of the
home country are such that there need
be no fear OF internal troubles while the
bulk OF the ighting forces are absent.
With France Il Is different. The home
country, particularly at present, is on
the verge OF a grievous disruption. and.
although France maintains large
standing army. most of Il would be
needed at home TO keep the rabble from
revolving. Then. again. as has been
shown I'm the aftermath OF the Dreyfus
scandal. many OF the men holding high
rank I'm the army are not 20 be trusted

land was moving toward the south. She
held sway over country whose sands
were stained with the blood of her
troops from end to end. and she had
fought for possession of this land foot

on the field. The way from Cairo TO
Cape Town was open, and the railroad
which has been the pef scheme of the
forward party was I'm sight when an
other obstacle appeared. which has not
only put a stop TO the railroad scheme
ior the present but is likely 10 cause
trouble and more boodshed between two
OF the most powerful nations In the
world. The check came with the ar
rival at Fashoda of the French troops
from their possessions on the west coast
~ Africa in command OF Major Mar
chand. Fashoda is only few hundred
miles south of the country where the
English and Egyptian troops in COM
mand Of General Sir Herbert Kitchener,
sirdar OF Egypt won their famous vic
tory, avenging the death OF General
Gordon and opening up the country
through which the railroad is 20 come.
Fashoda was To be the next place OF

countries have looked upon this part
n the Sudan for many years with hun
cry eyes. England has fought for II.

years. and the first TO get foothold

England had succeeded in Kidding her
self OF all obstacles I'm the Sudan until
the French arrived on the scene. Cen
eral Kitchener went 10 Fashoda and re-
quested the French TO leave the place.
His request was refused by Major Mar
chand. This was the first sign that any
trouble was In sight. Now active prep.

be any fighting OF Importance I'm the
territory which has caused the trouble
between the two nations as England
would have little difficulty in subduing
any troops that France might be able
To send into that country. She also
controls both entrances to the Mediter-
ranean sea. Gibraltar on the west end
and the Sucz canal on the east end
could be closed To the commerce of
France. and those OF her warships not
on tho home stations would be blocked
out OF this section.
1t is not likely that the fighting would
all be done on the other side OF the wa
ter. England has a grudge To settle
with France on account of some of her
possessions in the western Atlantic, and
II is not impossible that at least some
OF them would be lost 10 France. Those
in particularwhich England has had her
eyes on and have caused her no end OF
trouble for a long time are two small
islands just. south of Newfoundland. at
the mouth OF the gulf Of st. Lawrence.
They are ST. Pierre and Miquelon. and
while they are very small having to-
tai area of about S5 square miles, they
occupy a strong strategic position.
The probable duration OF war be-
tween France and England cannot be
estimated. as both have wonderful re-
sources There is no doubt, however.
that while England would i'm the end be
victorious France would make II decid-
edly interesting for her before peace
was declared.

"HE Sudan, like many other parts
OF the dark continent, has been
the scene of numerous fierce
combats in which the nations
taking part have seen some of
their best troops swept into eternity
and their most promising officers killed.
Not only has 1t been the scene OF con-
nicts between the natives and the civil
lized troops which have been sent In TO
open il up To commerce. but ii has been
the cause of many disturbances be-
tween some of the more prominent
countries OF Europe which have possess
sions there and are anxious 10 gain
control OF more. For years the eyes Of
the world have been on China and At
rica. particularly the latter place.
Many of the nations took advantage
of the opportunities that were offered
and entered the country seizing the
land at the point of the bayonet and
the mouth of the cannon, pressing their
way into the darkest section of the
dark continent only to return home and
squabble over some imaginary injustice
or dispute over the boundary line with
their next door neghbor until the
clanking of swords was heard. War
clouds have arisen and preparations
have been made TO settle the disputes
by other than diplomatic methods, and
sometimes the nations interested have
almost reached the striking point before
the matter was adjusted and they settled
down TO peace, only to be startled again
by the hurrying of ships into service
and the active movement of troops TO
the frontiers. Hitherto sharp words
have passed between the representa-
tives Of the interested parties, and there
the matter ended. Now IL is different.
The hurried commissioning of ships
and the mastering of troops both i'm
France and England mean that one or
the other will have to give way or take
the consequences war holds I'm store
for her.
England is still busy celebrating de-
cisive victory over the dervishes in the
