FOR PARIS he said yesterday:
EXPOSITION THE Ia South Africa has
awakened the natural hatred which
France bears TO England in a hundred little ways.
You see In the captions Of the sensational papers.
You hear It on the street when the bulletins are
made public. It's 'Perfide. Angeterre. 'Vive les
Beers. But you don't hear word about Dreytus.
