New York, Aug. 25.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says:
THAT the French government is pre-
pairing for war there can not be any
doubt"
The Pail Mall Gazette makes this
statement editorially.
1t does but put in concrete form what
newspapers in all parts Of England
have been saying in a more veiled way
for three days
A remarkable war scare has spread
through England. No particular incl
dent Of Importance started it, but doz-
ems of little suspicious indications are
adding to the size of the scare daily
There is absolutely no reason for war
between France and England save the
imaplcable hatred of every class of
each nation for each other. The Pa
risian newspapers continuously ridicule
the English in articles and cartoons,
and the London papers reply ponder
ously with assaults on the instability
of the French government and the fall
ure of the exhibition.
Newspapers in all parts of England
have contained scare articles during the
last three days on the active French
military and naval preparations. such
as laying in supplies of coal, strengthen
ing the Seaports, increasing the navy,
stationing more ships at Calais, Brest,
extensive manouverS close TO coast
towns. and the unusual activity on both
land and sea
What specially have scared the Eng
Ish are the French experiments with
submarine boats. The English navy has
no such boats, while France is believed
to have several effective ones. These
submarine boats are liable to become a
nightmare in England. as their powers
are already being magni6ed tremen-
dously.
The first official recognition of this
state of things came today, when the
orders of the English admiralty for in
creasing the channel fleet became
known 1t is the custom to keep the
large portion of the home squadron IN
reserve and out of commission at the
naval stations All the usual naval TE-
serve squadron will now be put into
commission The newest and best bat
tleships and cruisers are to be kept in
a constant state of readiness. The home
fleet will be divided into two squad
rons, one never to leave the coast, the
other never to go further than Gibral-
tar.
Many ships are to be fitted out with
wireless telegrahpy and the channel is
to be patrolled by torpedo boats
