FROM A FRENCH POINT OF VIEW

For some time there has been talk,
both In this country and in Great
Britain, Of the supremacy Of the Anglo.
Saxon race, and now an eminent
Frenchman quoted In the Literary Dl-
gest takes up that subject and pre-
diets that the United States will be-
come the dominant power in that COM
bination. '-le Frenchman observes that
the England OF Washlngton's day has
become the British empire. and the
British emplre is about TO become the
AngIo-saxon confederation. In this
second transformation the United
states Is involved far more deeply than
II supposes. What bonds, among peo-
pies, are comprised in q common lang.

method OF understanding life. and an
identical conception Of moral and So

And then he goes on TO say that the
United States cannot refuse such SUI
premacy. even II It should desire to do
so. "In a few years more" he thinks,
this situation will appear in full view.
Let an attack be made upon Australia,
let South America be menaced, let mis-
fortune come to Great Britain and II

rection. The spirit OF gathering Is at
work among the children OF men, and
this Is manifested in the closer union OF
races. Pan-slavlsm, pan Germanlsm,
pan-Helenism. etc. are but manlfes-
tations OF this spirit.
But whether the realization Of the
Anglo.Saxon idea is near at hand, Is
different question In later years
there have been unmistakable manlfes-
tatlons Of sympathy between the two
countries in hours OF trials and trou-
bles. In fact great change has taken
place In this respect. But from such
sentiments to an Anglo-saxon fedora
ton, there is long step.

their own flowers win be obliged tC
