lomat in his memoirs makes an eX-
planation of the failure of France to go
to Egypt with England that is particu-
larly interesting at this time on ac-
count of the situation in southeastern
Europe. He claims that France did not
participate in the events of 1881 be-
cause of the quarrel between Gambetta
and De Freycinet. He speaks with au-
tlHority, for he was one of the mediators
who made the fruitless effort to bring
the two statesmen together before they
parted for all time. He AYERS that De
Freycinet was offered the war portfolio
in the Gambetta cabinet of 1881, and
with that understanding agreed to en-
ter the ministry. Later, Gambetta in
sisted that DeFreycinet become minis
