that 1t is here that the French social and
administrative system will be brought
to supreme and crucial test. Where
there is an overwhelming preponderancs
OF military authority, kept under leash
and control by purely popular agencies Of
administration, conflicts must inevitably
arise between the civil power and am
bilious leaders in the army. Where these
are trlfling, they create such scandals as
the Dreyfus affair; when brought to a
head under skillful and inscriptions
leaders they may blossom into a bloody
coup d'etat. Such an evil contingency
now menaces the government at Bris as
a result OF its sturdy insistence that JUS

afforded them opportunities to measure
soberly and accurately the claims OF con-
tending factions to political consideration.
1t Is an mpulslye and mercurial nation;
but 1t has never harbored injustice, nor
submitted long to the oppression OF class
rule. Even under the glamour OF mill

steadily pursued the paths OF peace, and

of science and the arts rather than in the
field OF military adventure. However de-
sirous tho army clique might be to In
