PARIS, July 15.--Thc past week has
been notable III at least one particular.
1T has witnessed the close Of the little
unpleasantncss between France and Ger

as It's excuse. and. for Its real reason,
the policy SO long followed by N. Del Del

for well nigh seven years. NJ. RouYier
read to the Chamber OF Deputies the
notes that had be4n exchanged on the
subject between Germany and France,
and finally, the text Of the declaration
In which the two powers declare their
accord.
This agreement. be It understood. was.
rendered easy by the forebeArance OF tne
I7renchmen who yielded ol Up. actc ~

we should be altogether wrong TO con-
slider II as a great moral vlctorS's nlH nov
ever, the mere recognition OF a scosrap ph-i
&ical fact-that SOME three hunJred kio-
I meters Of our colonial frontier borders
on Morocco-and that, In consequences, our
interest is grea ter ter5thanEanother's,S g, ! haI
border should be maintalno beyond the
line. AS for the conference Itself W1'et n
er It will resul, in more bad feeling or

on the attitude assumed The. BY the Ger
man delegates.
ThA Kaiser's Loss s;sss
However that may be, It Is pretty safe
10 say that the Emperor of Germany has
lost by the whole affair great many
enthusiastic ad nllrers whom he formerly
possessed in France. Phey Will find2lt
+ hard TO pardon him tho real war scare
that he brought about by his obstreperous
attitude. It was n poor sort Of way, 70
say the best, to lead folks here TO forget
their wounds-thIs brutal prodding or
their scars. ai$ s F
There is u good deal 10 be said In praise
Of the way that France maintained her
equipose in the face OF 1t all. In spite OF
It's strong stand for peace, LIDO not think

that there was any sacrifice OF self

We'll. the Chamber has come 10 E'lt
and the last session presented the usual
spectacle of our wise legislators, who had
nut off everything till the last momentf
rushing through necessary legislation at
fever heat. Among these latter mea sures
was the calling for n general amnesty,
and which failed. owing to the stubborn
stand Of tho Right. The government, at
one and the same time, wished to pardon
those who had been condemned BY the
1Ilgh Court of Justice and those who had
been punished for the ovcr-famous secret
army reports. The Right, with a display
of nothing more nor less than doWnrlGht
bad faith. accused the government OF
wishing to group Its friends Chose OF the
Right with the army t1le-bearers.
They did not stop to think that the re-
1ublicans were perfectly jistifiahle. even
though they did thus group the two lots
together. for. after all, the tale bearers
in tho army merely used those weapons
in defense of the republic which the par-
tIsans Of the Right had used to bring
about the republics downfall. The repub-
licnns had secured their private lnforma-
tion from the Free Masons' me Rlgnt
had got Its Information from the Jesults.
Every Frenchman must regret this manls
festation Of sheer intolerance.
The Sunken Submarine.
You can imagine how deeply all France
has been stirred by the disaster 10 the ~
fated submarine Farfadet, now sunk IN
the mud off Bzarta with the bodies OF
fourteen sailors within her There was a
terrific struggle to bring the boat TO me
surface before death had won the ! ui''
l1appy crew. With high good Will, put IN
vain, the Minister of Marine himself
went to the scene of the dsasterito super

work of rescue. Every effort, backed as
