to hasten the conveyance of a large
body of troops to Egypt, in view of the
boundary dispute with Turkey. For
eign Secretary Grey said in the com
mons that the Turkish claims ON the
Sinai peninsula at the head of the Red

Violent May Day In France.
Notwithstanding that the French gov
eminent had modified 10000 soldiers
to assist the 10000 police and 5000
republican guards Of Paris in main
tanning order and had arrested many
leaders of the labor unions, the antici- !
pated May day demonstrations were !
so numerous and persistent as to keep |
the governments forces at high ten }
sion from early dawn to late at night.
The nucleus of the threatening dis
turbance, which had it's counterpart In
many other cities of France, was the
of general strike by
various labor unions having an aggre-
gate membership Of $4,000. 1t was
believed that the anarchists
Ind royalists of the French capital
we're preparing to take advantage of
his labor movement to set in motion
revolution against the existing order
The purpose of the strike was to Sc
ure shorter hours and better wages.
Yearly all of the trades were repre-
ented.
Because NJ. Clemenceau, the minister
Il the interior and the strong member
Il the cabinet, had been known as a
Socialist the leaders of the movement
were not prepared for the
lrastic methods Of repression. They
ay that he has been more severe than
ny of his predecessors. M. Griffuel-
es, general secretary OF the Confedera-
ion of Labor, was dragged from his
ed and taken to prison on the charge
f melting to pillage and advocating
he revolutionary propaganda This
ct greatly inf1amed the laboring class
9. who regarded it as q violation Of all
he principles of individual liberty for
vhich the French republic stands. An
Their significant arrest was that of
cunt Beaureguard, the Legitimate !,
on of Napoleon III, on the ground
nat he had some connection with
.oyalist plot to put Prince Victor Ma
oleon on the throne. The fear of seri-
Us trouble caused a general exodus Of
,e upper classes and a rush to buy up
Il the available provisions.
