france Warns Toward America.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris. July This week has been
most eventful and one of deep signi-
ficance to all observing Americans. In
dications have not been lacking dur
ing the past year of the anxiety of
the French Government and the
French press to obliterate the UNI
friendly feeling towards France arous-
ed in America by the alleged hostile
attitude of this country towards the
United States in the war with Spain
and to endeavor by every means in
their power to re-establish Anglo
American reasons on a more friendly
basis. These efforts have been at
tended by most satisfactory meas
ure of success: but the participation
of the French Government in and the
expression in a cordial tone by the
press towards Washington and the
Fourth of July fetes, has given an I'M
mistakable stamp to the direction of
Frances foreign policy. There is not
the slightest doubt that the French
Government feels that it is matter
of paramount Importance to their
country to secure the good will OF
America and to lay the foundation
for a more intimate understanding
than ever before existed between the
two republics. The remarks of
French officials and politicians show
that their approachment is dictated
not merely by sentiment and an af-
finity of ideas, but by the best inter
ests of France. American function
aries here, in their contact with the
official world. have been brought to
share in the conviction that France
is sincerely desirious of securing the
cooperation of America. The United
States Ambassador, General Horace
Porter has missed no opportunity to
further cordial relations. growth of
which is decidedly agreeable to him.
The demonstrations of this week
have been of the utmost value and
are universally interpreted by the
French press as a testimony that the
bulk of the American people is not
dominated by any spirit of animos-
'ty towards France, but on the con-
trary. entertains the best of feelings
towards the sister republic.
Archbishop Ireland speaking to
representative of The Associated Press

markably good effect on the people
of France. They have opened their
hearts to us and have found that the
American nation are a people of SEN
timent and not merely commercial
people"
The action taken this week by NJ.
GervilleRoache. one of the represent
tatives in the Chamber of Deputies for
Guadeloupe, indicates that the good
effect produced among Frenchmen by
the American sympathy displayed at
these fetes may bring practical fruits.
He has published an article in the
Eclair, an influential organ, suggest
ing that steps be taken for the for
nation of a society for the promotion
of a France-American alliance, pro-
posing that EN-Minister Leon Bour-
geois be made president. The article
attracted considerable attention.
