LONDON. oct 22-Neyer since Great
Britain and France began to dispute over
Egypt. nor during the most acute stage
OF the Niger differences between those
two countries has the situation looked
- omlnua as today. In spite Of the hope
expressed In journals OF both countries
that ths matter would be amicably set

and military authorities are making few

IL only calm OF preparedness. and Sig
nlncent orders have been arriving there
from tho admiralty, indicating that Great
Britain and France are on the brink OF
war.
French statesmen. however. cling TO
tho hope that the Marquis OF Salisbury
will ofrer some exchange which will en-
able them to retire from Fashooa without
apparent sacrifice OF dignity. rrenchmen
infer from tho attitude OF the British
premier that he is willing 10 discuss
the French claims and they even talk Of
negotiations being In progress. English
newspapers. however. vernerously combat
this impression. and warn France not 10
bo led away by such illusions, They
declare that the evacuation OF Fashoda
must preoedo anything else.
The French naval preparations were at
FIRST declared to be mere routine arrange
ments. but It is now admitted they are
directed against Great Britain. The
French dock yards and arsenals are
working at full pressure, and preparing
war ships and torpedo-boats for active
service.
on the British side a feeling OF absolute
selt-conhdence is displayed. Everything
ready" is the burden OF all statements
from naval quarters. In fact, the British
navy has practically been on a war foct-
ing for year past. and authoritative
pronouncement to this effect has come
from the secretary to the admiralty. W.
L. Ellison Macartney, a prominent dock
yard official In an interview. declared
that the circumstances OF the present
crisis have been fully provided for in the
mobilization scheme. He added that Brit
ish ships at the present moment have a
larger supply OF coal on board and an
available larger stock Of provisions than
ever known before.

that nine British battleshlps and II fast

on the question.

cept President Zelaya and the cabinet
