FRENCH ARE NOT EXCITED
Latest Ctterance of German War Lord
Causes No Bitterness In
Paris.

PARIS, Dec. 23.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-Either the Franco-German sit
uation is improving or the people of Paris
have grown tired OF listening to the cry
or wolf and discovering that the wolf
never shows up. And of course the people
OF France take their impressions from
Paris. A few months ago the German en-
peror's speech would have called forth
loud roars Of indignation and anger
Though the speech is apparently, more
or less veiled threat somehow the Parisians
seem to have made up their Isinds that a.
is intended to influence the Reichstag in
view of the coming naval credits There
have been so many threats from the same
quarter, veiled and unveiled, within the
last few months that the French nation
can hardly be expected to tremrle every
time word drops from the kaiser's lips.
Nor do they. In fact there are those who
go so far as to say that the German en-
peror Is barking dog who will not bite
One OF the leading statesmen from the in
terror Is quoted as saying that he should
not be surprised to see the kaiser live to
be an old man with never the luck TO get
into a foreign war. According to this
statesman the German emperor is destined
to have wars all around him. His ambi.
tions and tastes may be military. but IL
some times happens that people who would
like to go to war never have the onnor.
tunity
All this is evident from the comments OF
the French Papers on the kaiser's most
recent utterances. There is a complete alb
sence of anger. Indeed, the French papers
contain sound criticism OF a character al
most impersonal-certainly showing not
even the slightest tinge of excitement or
desire for revenge. Naturally there is a
blend of sarcasm

arrives, show that the celebration will be
one Of unrivalled splendor and from a
spectacular and a popular point OF view
1t will probably eclipse anything In this
line that old England has ever seen. The
French entente week at Portsmouth was
great. but naval men declare that the Japa-
nese week will be even greater. 1t is
claimed that there will be all the sincerity
OF friendship which was extended to the
French guests. coupled with an enthusiasm
sentiment amounting almost to hero
/. hip. The date of the arrival Of the
y I at Spithead is fixed in authoritative
-ircles for early in July. The visiting
squadron is to leave Sasebo at the begin
ming Of May. and the six weeks sea pas
sage will be prolonged by the making of
one or two calls of a friendly ceremonial
character on the way
The composition Of the japanese feet
has yet to be definitely settled. One report
mas 1t that 1t will consist OF two battle
ships and four cruisers and that Admiral
1000 VIII command it in person. In any
case, however, II is not anticipated by the
British naval authorities that the visiting
squadron will consist OF more than six
warships. The Intention is that the visit
ors shall proceed direct to Splthead, moor
ing there to special buoys that will be pre-
pared for their reception, as in the case OF
the French visiting fleet. The British chan
mel fleet, North sea squadron and first
cruiser squadron. forming a most impos-
Ing force of seventeen battleships and nine
cruisers, will be assembled IN the aprbor
age to greet the guests. It is understood
that the king has already signifed his
intention to review this combined sea
pageant. After this royal inspection the
japanese ships will weigh anchor and pro-
ceed into Portsmouth harbor, where an
unprecedented round of national hospitality

Of Darkest Africa" But a regatta is to
be held on the Zambesi river next July.
and the Henley regatta committee and
other rowing associations all over the
world will do well to look TO their laurels.
for not only will the regatta itself be an
ambitious one, but the crews in training on
the Zambesi give promise OF conquering
the world in the world Of aquatics.
It is no joke that Sir Charles Metcslf,
the moving spirit Of last summers Zambesl
regatta, was so pleased with its success
that he proposes to offer 5000 to the funds
Of any university sending out the cham
pion crew and to invite representative
eights Of universities from all parts OF the

There is spice about boating on the
zembesi which makes other regattas pic
MICS by comparison.
There is always an exciting possibility Of

OF a hippo or of crocodile taking a slice
out of frail craft. This. however is
