Paris, May 1.-THE Journal Des
Debats, in the course of a long article,
reflects the anxiety experienced in gov
ernment circles here respecting the
feeling aroused in America on account

outset Of the war certainly regarded
the United States as in the wrong and
some of the papers expressed this
opinion in an aggressive form. The
Americans, however, should not have
taken the matter tragically for of all
foreigners our natural sympathies are
for the United States"
