FRENCH CONTEMPT FOR ENGLISH

1t was my good fortune to have an op-
portunity for considerable conversation
with young and distinguished tFrench)
quiet contempt with which he spoke of
the recent achievements of the British
arms and by the eminent opinions which
he quoted as his authorities. Your
navy is strong, but your army--you have
no army" he would say, and then has
tened back to praises of the fleet to COW
er the unguarded utterance. His opin-
ion of the course OF any future war be-
tween England and France was not
without interest They would draw
away the fleet from the Channel, and if
they could keep the sea clear for forty
eight hours a hundred thousand men
might land in England. The war would
then be over. '.The English! ! know
the English" he would say. I'VE should
kill few, we should march on London
and kill few more. and when they saw
that the others would stop ghting and
pay. We know the English Look at
their surrenders in Africa. 1t is all ar
ranged. But hope there will never be
a war. 1t would be a pity. l like the
English very we'll myself. oh, yes, it
would be a flying column, but what of
that? There would be very little dan
ger, and we should make our ammunit-
ion at Woolwich. And then you have
no army"
This appears to be the general opinion.
and an utter want of comprehension of
the difficulties of the South African cam
paign has completely shattered our mill
tary prestige.

will make one-cent rate for the Grand
Army eucampment at Denver next year.
providing the executive committee of the
Grand Army at their meeting in Denver,
Monday may agree to postpone the date
of the encampment to September.
The proposition for this rate was put
to the Western Passenger association to-
day by the Burlington and the Rock Is
land roads. with the notice that should
other roads concerned reject the post
ponement the Rock Island and Burling-
ton would make the rate independently.
Up to this time the railroad officials had
refused to make a one-cent rate, main
tanning that owing to the heavy tourist
business during the summer they could
not handle the encampment business at
the rate demanded without heavy loss
