ADVOCATE ALLIANCE
France Favors Union With
Britain if Her Army Is
Reorganised,
NAVY OF LITTLE VALUE
Cordial Relations Evidenced by Brit
ish Greeting TO French
President.

Paris. May 26,-The speeches ex-
changed in London between President
Fallieres and King. Edward have at
tFacted much attention from tho
French press and the Temps THE after
noon says it considers the time to be
ripe for the substitution Of an Anglo
French alliance instead Of the present
entente, provided that he British army
be radically reorganized in order to
render 1t capable of energetic action on
the continent, otherwise, the paper
says, the benefits Of the alliance would
be one-slded and in favor of England,
and consequently inalvisable.
The Temps recognizes that the cor
dial relations between France and
Great Britain as manifested yesterday,
are likely In the event Of a crisis 70
breed Identity Of interests, but It thinks
It dangerous to rely upon moral UNDER
standings. Forced to choose between
Germany and Great Britain" the
Temps declares, France chooses Great
Britain. We can with dignity live on
correct terms with Germany, but the
past forbids us going further. AS for
the future, Germany only wants what
we cannot grant, namely, the admis-
sion Of German funds to the Paris
bourse. on the other hand the great
est objection to a British alliance has
disappeared with the reconciliation OF
our ally, Russia, with Great Britain,
From the English standpoint this
alliance is desirable. England
throughout her history always has
felt the necessity of a continental ALI
ance and continental support. The
French army would be of incstimable
value to Great Britain in the event of
war, but would British support be
equally advantageous to us? British
naval victories would not drive a sin
gle cannon from our frontier. 1t
would be different If the British army
was completely reorganized 40 as to
render II capable Of a powerful land
diversion, in other words, II Great Bril-
tain became for France a cecond
Russia,
The day upon which Great Britain
dscarding Mr.. Haldane's insufficient
plan, gives the country modern ar
my; the Gay upon which Great Britain
remembers Napoleon fell at Waterloo
and not at Trafalgar, that day all far
seeing Frencnmen will become par
tisans of the British alliance, the pur-
and enlarge that system Of Pacific de-
fence which did not result from the
Franco Russian alliance of 1891.
ITO those who either express sur
prise" the Temps concludes that
military considerations weigh 90 heav-
lily in this argument, we observe that
the value of diplomatic combinations
for peace is measured by their eiiic-
acy in war"

ATTACKS DREYFUS PICTURE
Frcnchman Unable TO Control His
Indignation,

Paris, May GA man who gave
the name OF Elmer to-day attempted
to destroy Renouard's allegorcal pic
ture THE Trial of Dreyfus" in the
salon of the socete des Beaux Arts.
He first vainly tried to rip it with a
knife, but the picture was covered
with a thick glass. fear having been
entertained when It was hung that
just such an attempt might be made,
and finally wrenched 1t from the wall
and trampled It under foot. The pic
ture was considerably damaged but it
can be repaired. Elmer, who was
placed under arrest, told the magls-
trate that he was a nationalist and
was unable to control his Indignation
at the sight of the picture.

Colonel Geddes, then inspected the
troops, After the inspection, the
troops headed by the band, IN COM
pany formation, passed in review be-
fore the governor,
The companies were then dismissed
and preparations for the prize drill
made, Each company Is entitled to
enter five men In the regimental com
petition, In most cases the five from
each company were .he five who held
out the longest In the individual COM
pany competitions so the cream of the
regiment was gathered on the floor for
the drill, The judges were. Col Ed

and Col, Fitch Of the Coast artillery.
There we're representatives Of the
Sarshelds, the Blues, the Grays, the
City Guard, the Light Guard, the Meri-
den, Wallingford companies and Com
pany A Of Waterbury. In all there
were about 40 men, and they were drill
ed in two detachments. Major Isbell
was drill master OF the first squad, and
1t took considerable time to reduce the
number Of competitors. Strange to say
Musician Haley who has won the regi
mental drill medal twice, was one Of
the first ones to fall by the wayside.
The second squad was drilled by Major
Norton, and the ranks were depleted
rapidly. Those that were left were
then drilled by Lieut. Col. McCabe.
For errors In executing the manual Of
arms, gil but five were retired. These

that he had been in error In retiring
him. II was too late to put him back
in the drill After little more work.
the judges awarded Corporal Beers the
first prize, Corporal Riley, second and
Private Phelps, third.
Corp Beers won the medal last year
After the drill, the reglmental drill
was given, and again the guardsmen
passed In review before the governor.

Following the drill, the governor, his
staff, and the military guests present

Last evenings drill demonstrated the
absolute inadequacy Of the Second

was hard work to do any maneuvering
with half a regiment, and II would be
an impossibility TO get full regiment

 The case of Hood vs. Bell which involves the validity of the fence law in Hampstead county was decided by the supreme court on the 18th instant to be invalid. That is to say, the court held that it had never been put in force. Saturday the Supreme Court set aside the judgment in order to hear petition for a re- hearing. which the attorneys will present within two weeks. So the case is still undecided until the motion can be disposed of. The court may yet hold the law good. This leaves the case just as it stood before the decision of the Supreme Court.
