Delcasse and FTankness.

AS NJ. Delcasse is at present free
from the gag of Office, what he has
to say concerning the policies of ma
tons can be as frank as he chooses
to make it. His interview in LIE
Gaulois is frank. but as it is restricted
to discussion of the Moroccan issue
and the immediate relations of Eng
land, France, and Germany, it is
merely the application of general
rules to a particular instance.
His interview may be paraphrased
in the broad language of the phil
osophy of history, and these generali-
cations made:
The policy of nations has never been
based On sentiment, but upon their
material interests. Commercial bal
ances show where national interests
lie. The law of self-preservation is
as unrestrained among nations as
among the lower orders of the brute
creation. The line of least resist
ance, which is called sin in the in
dividual, is the invariable course of
procedure with all nations. Wars
and alliances, however they may be
glozed with hypocrisy and sugared
with high-sounding moralities, are
struggles for material advantage,
either in the shape of commercial ex-
pansion or territorial extension; land
hunger and trade-thirst underlie all
wars; the glittering moralities and
gaudy sentimentalities that are held
merely the iridescent scum that floats
upon the surface
To recognize these truths is not
necessarily to become permanently
pessimistic. The altruism of the few
great souls of the race has never
more than clothed the savage naked
ness of the rest of us. We have parted
the doctrines of Jesus among us, and
upon His love we have cast lots; but
His spirit is as unwelcome today as
it was nineteen hundred years ago.
The nations are as Industrious, as
provident, and as savage as the ants
in neighboring hills. They live in
peace only until disputed bit CT
proyender stirs the formic acid OF
their souls-and then hell breaks
loose.
Will these conditions ever be bet
ter? VIII the race ever rise to an
approximation to the dignity and
| beauty that has been shown in a few
| individuals? Not until economic con
ditions are radically changed; not
until the overwhelming majority Of
! the individuals composing the race
/ rise by self-abnegation, by renuncia,
ton, by self-sacrifice superior TO the
insistent demands of material ma.

Progress Is Slow.
After discussing and analyzing the
reports of recent accomplishment IN the
canal work Mr. Caracristi concludes
that at the rate Of progress achieved IN
May it VIII take 13T years TO build the
canal. It Is true that the plans r-ere

these are in French, ard might lie so

sion is concerned

based upon these French documents,
wherein american officers on the camel

Mr. CaracriSti says the work, properly
organized. can be accomplished in twenty
years He adds that, after the pla.
no further need OF continuing the canal
commission, and the work should be
turned over TO a single officer.
Discussing the sanitary problem, this
writer declares that the complete sani-
tation OF the zone against yellow fever
and its equivalent is impossible. Be
sides the dangers of outside cont agion,
there is the fact that fevers will be
developed by the work in the svampy
lower sections of the canal
The high mortality of the canal zone
is discussed in some detail, the con-
clusion being that a death rate OF SO
or more per annun among Americans
and Europeans is usual. while Mr.
CaracTiSti has seen it go to 100.
He concludes that reliance for the
manual labor must be placed on the
West Indian negroes White men can
only supervise.

The case was an unusual one. The
offense was committed a little more
than week ago and the victim testi-
fled in open court today that but for
her superhuman efforts the negro
would have accomplished his deed.
The negro was arrested after a
long chase and then sent 10 Corsi-

county, convened the grand jury in
