End Of English Power Predicted

FdTiS correspondent WTlIeS' Inc An
glophobia epidemic raging in the
French press is daily becoming more
acute. The nationalist, Jew batting,
praetorian and clerical press--the same
papers that constituted themselves
champions of the late general staff dur
ing the Dreyfus affair-are straining
every nerve SO 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. Tho
editorial language and epithets are
now more violent than anything that
appeared in either the American or
Spanish newspapers during the Span
ish war and probably exceed in malig-
nifty and abuse all past achievements
of the French press in criticisiny the
conduct of nation with which France
is at peace.
Too much weight should not be at
.tached to their frantic rawlings. but It
Is impossible to gauge correctly the
trend of national feeling in France
without taking into consideration the
stormy elements which are constant
ly at work and which like the Bou-
langism of the last decade, adroitly en-
list and concentrate all the floating
units Of discomfort. One or two pas
sages taken at random from the Patrie
may enable observing Americans to
form an idea of the foreign policy the
nationalists are urging upon the Gov.
eminent.
Help the Beers and avenge Fasho-
da," is the advice given by M. Mile
voye, who declared that: THE British
Foreign Office has deliberately falsi.
fed all the dispatches from the seat
of war where, in spite of all official ac-
counts, matters are going very badly
for England. Thousands Of French
men 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 At
rican Beers more substantial aid than
mere good wishes. All, brave Beers,
don't waste your cartridges. Aim care
fully 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 everywhere. An Eng
lishman dressed in a suit fasmart black
velvet and knickerbockers was tai;en
in 1870 near Bougeval, where he used
to amuse himself by killing our out
posts with shots from his Snyder car
bine. In Tunis and Madagascar hardy
British adventures and officers of
Queen Victoria made up shooting par.
ties on purpose to kill Frenchmen. The
hour of retaliation has arrived. The
shooting season when Frenchmen may
kill Englishmen is now open. Notice
is hereby given to amateurs. Is not
this sport is most tempting one
Charles Laurent in leading article
in the Matin, intimates that the bat
ties Of Glencoe and Glands Laagte are
In reality victories for the Beers. NJ.
Laurent writes: In spite of illusions
and Notwithstanding the mercenary
enthusiasm Of the stock exchange and
the Bourse, the present campaign
marks the end of England. BY this
do not mean there will be war in the
county Of Kent, or that an invading
army will encamp In Hyde Park and
levy taxes on city merchants. But 1t
is the end Of greater England. British
arms can never subjugate the Trans
vaal. The courage of the Beers Is con-
tagious. 1t will spread to Ireland, to
India, to Australia. Justice will final
ly triumph on the other side Of the
equator and the reign Of Queen Vic
toria will terminate in the bleeding
fog bank of defeat.
Insulting caricatures and cuts OF
Queen Victoria, appear In the boule-
ward newspapers accompanied by IL
belous and indecent legends. The Pa
trie publishes almost every day ex-
tracts from alleged conversations with
Mr.. Chamberlain, who is represented as
declaring that 1T is the policy Of the
British Cabinet to suppress the Dutch
in South Africa and afterward the
French In Canada and Mauritius."
In the same issue, the Patrie announ-
ces the impending mobilization Of the
British feet as threat to France and
Russia. The Patrie also publishes a
series OF articles on political econo-
my, with the object Of showing that
British supremacy in South Africa will
mean the ruin of all commerce and In
