unsparing and often unjust criticism
of France during the Dreyfns trial.
The serious reverses of England had
led to the impression here that she
might yield and accept mediation. But
the absence of dependency on the part
of the Britons came as a surprise to
most Frenchmen and evoked admira-
ton for England's GOODNESS and self
confidence from all but the most
Anglophobia organs.
The Figaro has warned Frenchmen
against the idea that Great Britain
would accept the mediation of Ger
many, Russia or even the United
States at the present stage of the war.
In the United States Congress-" says
the Figaro, there is much more free
dom than in European legislatures and
such questions might be discussed
there, but, even though Congress were
to adopt resolutions requesting the
President to take the first step on SUCH
delicate ground. Mr. Mckinley would
be the first to recognize their misap-
propriateness ana would unccremon-
