his departure. connecting 1t with base

positively that Benckendorff had gone

farewell to his son, who is going to the
far east with a regiment. The un-
easiness exhibited on the continent in
regard to possibility that European
war may ensue from the struggle in
the far east is not shared by Great

itals are regarded here as as being
mere common sense measures, which
any power must adopt however re-

ployment may appear.

since Japan came into possession OF
the Island OF Formosa. the Japs have

This view is shared by some OF the
wisest French public men. Eugene
Etienne. "a deputy and former UNDER
secretary of state for the colonies, said
yesterday morning that he thought the
immediate duty of the government was
to reinforce the French troops in Indo-
China and to put that colony en-

on foot to erect with all possible speed
powder and cartridge factories and to
equip the colony with independent
means of defense. This mas been go
