HOPE TO INVADE ENGLAND.
n ConQuerinE Army ON
British Soil.

Since Napoleon's day the idea of in
yatiing England has never left the
French mind. Weary of war and arma-
,nents, exhausted by the terrific strug-
gle in which she had SO nearly sue
cumbed, England forgot her navy and
turned to the arts of peace. A like
lassitude had seized the continent after
. generation of bloodshed, so that at
first this neglect brought no evil re-
suit except general lowering of the
national tone and spirit. Cobden's de-
iightful idea that 1.-THE French, being
the most domesticated and affectionate
people on the face of the earth,' would
never dream of war was given trial.
We who have seen the downfall of Cob
denis foreign policy and the complete
discontinue Of his economic prophecies
know that he was faddist wandering
in Utopia. But the instructive fact that
the Golden policy was tried remains.
What, then, was the attitude of the
lamblike, 'sdomesticated," affection
etc" French nation? From the Access
sion of Louis Philippe in 1880 dates the
beginning of what has been, no doubt,
ironically described as the entente cor
dale between England and France, but
what might with more accuracy be de-
scribed as period of secret hostility on
Frances part and blind friendliness all
ternating with frenzied alarm on Eng
lands.
Talleyrand came to England with the
full intention of maintaining close al
lance with England, and returned to
France proclaiming that the English
we're arrogant and detestable, and that
friendship between the two powers was
impossible. Theirs in 1910 attempted
to get hold of Egypt; secret informa-
ton was given the British government
OF plot to burn our ships in the dock
yards, and next day two ships at Devon
port took fire; the French admiral in
the East Indies, Lelande, was in favor
OF attacking our fleet without a dec
laration of war, and it was certain that
he could have destroyed it. A squadron
was assembled at Toulon to seize the
Ralearics, but Louis Philippe had not
the requisite courage, and Theirs fell
and was replaced by Guizot. In 1912
came the Tahiti affair, when France
openly threatened war and England did
not venture to insist upon full satisfac-
ton.
All through 1912 and 1S43 war be-
tween France and England these two
cordial friends-seemed imminent.
Even the quietest and most peaceful
among as are beginning to look for
ward to war with France as an event
which no prudence on our part can
long prevent" wrote Palmerston in Az
gust, 1874. In 1916 came the breach of
faith on Louis Philippe's part in the
matter of the Spanish marriages, and
profound uneasiness throughout this
country. The duke Of Wellington in
1s47 startled England by his letters,
pointing out, in the then decrepit state
of the fleet, the extreme danger Of in
vasion by the French.-Nationai Re-
