ward His Purpose Was Accom-
plished.

The announcement that in response
to Japan's representations France has
promised the expulsion of the Rus.
sian second Pacific squadron from
Kamranh bay and affirmed her deter.
mination to maintain neutrality is re-
ceived at Toxic with pleasure, al
though it is believed that II Rojest-
vensky entered Kamranh bay for the
purpose of finally preparing for dash
northward his purpose was accom-
plished.
The foreign Office in a recent state
ment says:
"The French government upon re-
ceipt of the report that the Baltic
squadron had arrived at Kamranh bay
instructed the governor general of
Indo-China to strictly enforce the
rules of French neutrality. The gov
ernor general telegrapned. replying
that he had taken the necessary meas.
ure according to instructions by the
French government"
French Newspapers Criticize.
Some of the newspapers Of Paris,
commenting upon the expulsion Of the
Russian second Pacific squadron from
French territorial waters in Indo-
China, hold that France, in seeking
to render exact justice to Japan, has
been unjust to Russia. The Echo de
Paris, which is strongly pro-Russian.
says that Frances insistence upon Ro.
jestvensky's leaving Kamranh bay will
have the effect of making him an
easy pray to Togo, as the Russian
ships, being driven from all points
without being able to take on coal,
must put to sea win half filled bunk
ers, being thus crippled at the moment
Of meeting the enemy.
The Temps criticize the Saigon re-
port that Russian merchant vessels
have been forbidden to take on the
necessary coal to enaDle them to
reach the nearest Russian port. The
paper maintains that the ships have
the right to take on sufficient coal to
last them until they reach Vladivo-
stok, which is the nearest Russian
port.

Roosevelt a Great Reader.

President Roosevelt's love for the
woods and the plains is no greater
than his affection for books, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune. In spite OF the
busy life he leads and the regular
hours he keeps, 1t Is safe to say that
few men of affairs in the republic read
more than the president. and fewer
yet extend their literary foraging over
a wider range of subjects. In addition
to keeping up" with the important
newspapers and magazines, which is
a task in itseli, the president is al
ways abreast of the times in fiction,
science, historical research and art.
Reading is to the president what rest
Is to most men. When he Is at his
home in Oyster Bay, at the White
House in Washington. or in his car
speeding over the rails to meet some
distant engagement, he is invariably
found with book in his hand when
not engaged in some more important
work. When he starts on trip, be
it long or short. his car Is always
stocked with volumes and magazines,
and Just as soon as he disposes Of his
correspondence or bows out the visit
ing local committeeman" who come
to pay their respects, he takes up the
book that lays open and continues to
race through it's pages. Aided by a
wonderfully retentive memory, the
president holds fast all that he reads,

the mouth Of the tunnel and. 10 far as
