PARIS, Jan. 1O.-Lucien NIillevoyc,

who first achieved notoriety by his con-
nection with the Boulanger movement,
is the author of a sensational article
published this afternoon in which he
calls upon Great Britain and France
to intervene in the ''American-Japanese
crisis before it is too late. He declares
that Great Britain, supported by France,
holds the key to the situation, but says
the difficulty is that no one is able to
fathom the secret hopes of the British
government.
NJ. Millevoye lays the responsibility
for the RUssO-IaDanese war at the door
of Great Britain. This war; he says,
made a cemetery Of Manchuria" and
he asks if Great Britain now desires
another orgy of blood which will make
the world shudder." Continuing, Nj. Mil

ruins of Japan and America, but he CON
tends that if she does hold this convic-
ton she is playing with fire.
