LONDON, Dec. 5-The Morning Post
seizes the occasion of Mercier's speech
in the French senate yesterday to crit
icize the weakness of the British de-
lenses, which it says must be attrib-
uted to red tape; but the papers gen.
orally treat Mercier's outburst in a
spirit of banter.
1T is an idea worthy of the cour-
ageous soldier who perjured Dreyfus
into living grave, and who, as min
lister of war, sat shivering with terror
during a whole night at the Eiysee lest
Germany should declare war against
France" says the Daily Chronicle, and
most of the morning papers comment

The civic parade too. will be an un-
usual feature. The Border rifles and
several military companies from New
Mexico. the local and visiting secret
societies and labor organizations will
probably take the lead and will be fol-
lowed by numerous floats of wonderful
architecture and beauty. Eevery mer-
