manders always preserved their complete IN
dependence. Paul de Cassagnac, in the "Au-
torite," also opposes the nomination OF Count
Waldersee, and says: After the deluge or
calumny which our Government has permitted
70 be let loose upon army 1t would be too
much to expect that OF our military
chiefs should command the international forces;
but our Government might at least have in
sured the honor Of such an appointment for
our ally, Russia and thus have spared our SOL
diers the pain Of serving under the orders OF
one Of our conquerors of 1870" Cassagnac,
moreover thinks that the Gear might have
been prevailed upon to send General Louis
Bonaparte to China in command Of the Russian
contingent, act which, in his opinion. would
have caused thrill OF fervent patriotism to
reverberate throughout the French ranks. The
Echo de Paris" the organ of the military anti
Dreyfus clique severely attacks the Government

tlon 1t is already apparent that If the nterna-
uonal troops occupy Picking it will be by no
means an easy task, and we shall have to paw
dearly for whatever Jade vases we may find
there to carry home with U.S."
Moderate organs like the Temps, the De
bats, the Figaro" and the Steele" approve
the appointment Of Won WaIdersee. but this
sudden and bitter outbreak from the news

French Cabinet must surnount in order TO
maintain International accord with the other
Powers in China.
