WAR TALK IN FRANCE.
GEN. MERCER CAUSES A sENsk-
TON IN TIEE FRENCH sEyATk
The General Points out the Ease by
which England Could be Invaded
cation OF the Army, the Navy
ton and Debn r K alton and Claims
that France ts Numerically EqGal
at Certain Point.

Paris, December 4-Ccneral Mercier
caused deep sensation in the Senate
to-day during the debate on the naval
bill By pointing out the ease by which
England could be invaded. He demand
ed that the government introduce into
the plans for mobilization OF the army
and the navy methods for the rapid en-
bnrkation and debarkation Of an ex-
peditionary corps. Thc president. NJ.
Falliercs. intervened, declaring that
such proposals were cut Of order.
I'm view of the possibility OF war
with Great Britain. the use OF the army
is not sufficiently taken into account.
The times are not the same as they
were a hundred ycors s5o. Steam, the
navy, the telegraph and the railroad
have rendered the pr blem Of the IN
vasion Of England much easier Of So
luton. Moreover, Errlard herself Is no
longer the same. The Transyaal war
has shown that the British army, al
though brave. is not equal to the task
which England e~rected 1t to perform.
The Brittrh navy IS powerful; but It
has many coasts 20 defend.
France, therefore, Is numerically
England equal at CCrta points and 1s
fven her superior IN the Instruments Of
destruction. Fl story furnishes many in
stances Of TUtiry in the English navy
at the nOr?ent OF h-ttie. A landing in
England Is, therefore. not beyond
realization.
This is rot only ny opinion. but that
also of high naval cf71cers. The British
Premier recently EXPRESSED significant
fears: and. # TIE principle Of landing
execution may b. discussed.
Il venture to think that the work I
prepare while commanding an army
corps could serve as a basis for such a
project, Which would not be expen-
sive."
At this point protests were ra; ;sed and
NJ. FaUieres asked General Mercier not
to enter into TIE details e the scheme.
General Nercicr replied that the
scheme could be "heId ever the head Of
England Ike the cwOrd of Damocles"
and he Proposed resolution that the
Sena te should invite tn government 10
complete in7r ed;ately preparations for
the mODiiiZa ton or tn :sI'ny and navy
by preparing everything necessary to
embark and disembark as rapidly as
possible an eXpeditionary corps.
Protests were ra eed from various
benches and ~. de Lanes san, Minister
Of Marine. followed d the presidents rul-
irg that the motion was out of order in
the present Gchate by declaring, amid
cheers, that the government could not
possibly accept it.
