Mr. Churchill is a fluent speaker with

There is active speculation in sugar,

sugar men say that famine prices will

French Statesman Says 4mer-
ica Mag MterUene in QunreIs.

Paris, Dec 1S.-Former Minister Of
Foreign Affairs Gabriel Hanotaux, in an
STticle appealing for public support Of
the recently organized Franco-American
committee designed 10 improve the eco
ncmic and social relations Of the two
countries and Of which he is president,
predicts that the United States, which
now holds the balance OF power In the
Pacific. is destined some day 10 inter-
vene in the quarrels of the great nations
Of Europe. NJ. Hanotaux in part says:
Every clairvoyant European states
man now foresees the proba bilitv of
American imperialistic action. II is the
constant preoccupation of Emperor Will
lam"
The former minister argues that
Frances position in Europe is analogous
20 that of America, and that il is virtu-
ally necessary that there should be no
possibility Of a, misunderstanding in the
future, recalling that during his own
ministry, at the time of the Spanish
American war France was driven aI-
blockade incident.
The writer thinks that from material
point of view the French foreign investor
must look toward America for the rich
est returns of the future, and dangies
before the eyes of his readers the enor-
nous harvest which France would have
reaped If Napoleon III, instead of launch
ing his Mexican adventure, had taken
the advice of Bellot des Minieres and
fostered the enlistment of French capital
in the enterprises of the United States.

Paris. Dec. 1S-Public attention Is con-

in occasionally at the Opera to see inc

shows of interest. He was iona OF hlotor
car excursions near Paris.
Last August your correspondent met
him In the forest of Vernon walking with
his little son, Count Tervueren, now a
bright boy. four years old. whose mother.
Baroness Vaughan, was the Kings NOR
ganatic wife. The King talked about
the reckless way in which trees are now
being cut down in Normandy, and dwelt
at length on the disastrous. consequences
of not preserving the forests. He was In
fairly good health and spirits, and, al
though he Iimped slightly owing to gout,
walked four miles before luncheon.
Afterwarl he returned In his motor car
to the Chateau of Balincourt, near Pom

The Paris newspapers devote almost
their entire space to-day TO Leopold, the
salient features of French opinion in re-
gard to him being that he was big King

Clemenceau, referring TO King Leopold,
remarked:
by his dominating character. per-
sonaIity and marvellous perseverance he
gave the signal for the dividing up of
Africa among European nations and

on a practical working basis"
Frenchmen regarded Leopold as a man

comparatively slight attention TO his
Painful domestic relStions with his three

of a person here who knows him we'll, is
a man of strong character, without being
a man Of brilliant talents, and has a
great deal of common sense. My in
formant added:
King Albert has one great hobby, and
that is to create a large and well
equipped commercial marine for Bel
gium, which will enable his thrifty SUBJ
jects to get the full benefit of trade with
the Congo. King Albert will continue
his uncle's work as the sovereign of the
Congo Independent State, and will de-
velop 1t as a grand business enterprise.
Nevertheless, during his recent visit TO
the Congo country he became painfully
impressed with the need Of reforms of
a humanitarian nature, and these he
will certainly take in hand atthe earliest
practical moment King Albert is espe-
cially alive TO the necessity of modifying
the conditions of rubber exploitation in
the Congo. which is being carried on
with enormous profits" IR
