WAR AND THE BOULEVARD.
Talk of Paris About the Contest in
the East

New York, March The Paris cor
respondent writes the Evening Post
follows:
The man in the street. who takes his
opinions hot from the daily papers, has
plenty to talk about in these days.
What a pity we have suddenly got SO
thick with the French says the English
man in Paris. now we can't help Japan,
because that would force France to help
Russia
This is not very clear. but it gives the
prevailing impression that England and
France are bound to let the Bear face the
Yellow Peril unaided. 1t is taken for
granted that otherwise Frances place
would inevitably be with Russia.
so you Americans are going back on
us" is the morning greeting of every
Frenchman one knows What possesses
you to side with England and Japan
1t is idle TO protest; the judgment is cut
and dried.
Only Germany puzzles the newspaper
reader. who IS bound to know everything.
IF we hadn't become friends Of England
there would be nothing to prevent Ger
many Matchmaking right and left-Russa
out of the Baltic and Japan out of
China
Such snap-talk. heard through the
Boulevard mist in these sofe February
days. is just as filling as more serious
speculations about what is going To hap
pen east and west.
'Russia's necessity Macedonia's oppor-
tunity," is the common conclusion, forth
fed by the fluent talk OF exiled agita-
tors. who are not backward in coming
forward at such a time. Men may come
and men may go. but somewhere in
Paris there viii always be found out
landish conspirators. Some Of US re-
member them al the way back to MAJ

and homelike as the old-time antagoE-
lists. and Macedonians and the rest do
not interest the ayerae man as Raribald-
isns did. and "a the Greeks did nearly a
century ago. We shall see what We shall
see-probably a few more changes on
the map to disturb those whose gecgra-
