'The great merit of the Government
Very serious difficulties might have arisen
had France departed from her reserve.
The favorable disposition shown to ou-
representations abroad has been due IL
the fact that the civilized world has had
opportunity during the last seven years
to observe the progress of the anti-Euro-
pean movement in the Sultan's councils.
Frenchmen, Americans, Austrians, Ital-
ians and Britons have all been victimized
by the Sultan and his counselors. After
the Armenian massacres and the success
full war with Greece they thought every
thing was permitted to them.

whom he has taken solemn engagements

wise Europe, which, thanks to the ener-

she lost seven wears ago, will applaud the

Differing Views of Press.
The morning papers in their comments
upon the termination of the Franco-Tur-
kish incident follow party lines strictly.
The supporters of the Government hail
the outcome as great diplomatic. moral
and material success. Other journals eth
er affect skepticism with reference to the
final outcome or assume that it is really
a check disguised under the more or less
illusory concessions promised by the Sui
tan. Some papers even hint that France
has actually backed down, owing to the
coolness with which the powers have re-
ceived her explanations regarding the OBJ
jects and scope of the naval demonstra-
ton.

ficient to restore forever the prestige of
France in the East" says the Figaro.
