CAPICATURES OF QUEEN VICTORIA
Beers ExhOre to Shoot Straight and Wipe Ont the English Off
cers-Frenchmen Advised to Join the Beers and Drive
England Ont Of Africa.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-The Tribune's
Paris correspondent writes:
The Anglophobia epidemic raging in
the French press is daily becoming
more acute.
The Nationalists. Jew batting, and
clerical press-the same papers that
constituted themselves champions OF
the general stan during the Dreyfus
affair-are straining every nerve so as
TO steer public opinion as to arrive at
war with England.
In reading the Patrie and the croix.
one might suppose that France and
England were already at war. The
editorial language and epithets are now
more violent than anything that ap-
peared in either the American or Span
ish newspapers during the Spanish war
and probably exceed in malignity and
abuse all past achievements Of the
French press in criticising the conduct
Of a nation with which France Is at
peace.
Too much weight should not be at
taehed to their frantic rawlings. but It
is impossible to guage correctly the
trend Of national feeling in France
without taking into consideration the
stormy elements which are constantly
al work and which like the Boulgan-
ism OF the last decade. adroitly enlist
and concentrate all the floa.ing units
Of discomfort. One or two passages
taken at random from the Patrie may
enable observing Americans TO form
an idea Of the foreign policy the Ma
tionalists are urging upon the govern 1
ment.
Help the Beers and avenge Fashoda
is the advice given by H. Millevoye,
who declares that: The British for
eign office has deliberately falsifed all
the dispatches from the seat Of war
where, in spite of all official accounts,
matters are going very badly for Eng
land.
Thousands Of Frenchmen are burning
to join the Beers and fight against
England. We don't care at present to
furnish further details, because we
still have hopes that We may be able
to send to the South African Beers
more substantial aid than mere good
wishes, All! brave Beers, don't waste
your cartridges Aim carefully and
hit the officers. England should be
made to suffer and expiate.
British hatred has never yet missed
an opportunity TO strike at French
breasts. Examples Of such British bru-
tality abound evaryhere An English
man dressed in a suit Of smart velvet
and knickerbOckers was taken in 1870
near Bougeval, where he used to amuse
himself by killing our outposts with
shots from his Snyder carbine. In Tu-
mis- and Madagascar hardy British ad-
venturers and officers of Queen Victoria
made up shooting parties on purpose
to kill Frenchmen. The hour Of retail
iation has arrived The shooting sea-
son when Frenchmen may kill Eng
lishmen is now open. Notice is hereby
given to amateurs. Is not this sport a
most tempting one?
Charles Laurent, in a leading article
in the Matin, inimetes hat the bat
ties of Glencoe and Glands Laagto are
in reality victories for the Beers. NJ
Laurent writes:
In spite Of illusions and notwith-
standing the mercenary enthusiasm Of
the stock exchange and the bourse, the
present campaign marks the md Of
England. BY this, I do not mean that
there will be war in the county Of
Kent. or that an invading army will
encamp in Hyde Park and levy taxes
on the city merchants. But It is the
end Of greater England. British arms
can never subjugate the Transvaal.
The courage Of the Beers is conta-
gious. It will spread to ireland, to In
dia, to Australia. Justice will finally
triumph on the other side of the equa-
tor and the reign Of Queen Victoria
