All France Gricycs.

Paris, May Having always re-
garded the late King Edward VII
as the creator and preserver of the
entente cordale existing between the
two nations, France today looks up
on his death as a national calamity.
Paris is plunged in sorrow that could
not be deeper were the city mourn
| ing a ruler of France.
The newspapers refer to Edward
VII as the greatest of monarchs. He
is credited with staving off inter-
national wars and several journals
express the fear that with his death
the peace of Europe is in grave
danger.
Official recognition of England's
grief will be taken by President
Fallieres who will send a personal
representative to London to express
the condolences of France. All
morning q stream of officials called
at the heavily draped British en-
bassy to express their sorrow.
Every Englishman in Paris has
paid a similar visit, many of them
leaving the embassy in tears.
The people of Paris have always
regarded King Edward as the most
Partisan of all monarchs. For half
a century they had known and loved
him as a boulevardier. When Prince
of Wales, the late king spent nearly
as much of his time in Paris as in
his own country. He was a famil-
lar figure at the theatres and princi-
pal cafes. He seldom missed a race
meeting at Longchamps where the
victory of one of his horses was as
popular as his capture of the Der
by at Epson.
Since his ascendancy to the throne
the late kings visits to Paris natur-
ally became less frequent but he had
endeared himself to the sport loving
Parisians so deeply that he was
never forgotten and the occasional
glimpse of his portly, bearded figure
driving or riding through the boul-
evards and the Bois de Boulogne
was ever the occasion for outbursts
of enthusiasm.
King Was For Peace.
Politically the importance of the
late monarch's role as European
in the eyes of the French people.
Without bombast of flourish he more
than once stepped into the widening
breach between France and Germany
and quietly brought about a better
| feeling.
Now France is asking herself, who
is to take his place. This nation
knows little or nothing of the new
| king, George V, and that little has
not created a particularly favorable
sentiment. He is regarded as a
morose, unimpressive parsonage, lit
| tie fitted to act as a mediator be-
tween great nations when the dogs
| of war are bristling or even to face
the grave political problems that
have arisen in his nation.
The ecclesiastical Eclaire does not
hesitate today to express its belief
that the new monarch will be unable
to stem the tide of popular revolt
against the house of lords and that
with England torn by political con-
flict other European nations will be
able to WELD their cudgels without
| British interference.

RICHARD AND
GLEASON At
PEACE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. a.
While Jack Gleason and Tex
Richard were planning to meet
this afternoon to discuss matters
relating to the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. the fans had plenty to do
In discussing rumors of war ami
subsequent reconciliation between
the promoters.
Gleason heretofore has been
holding out for San Francisco as
the scene of the great heavy
weight battle. When TEX" RisS-
ard. after a conference with Sup
ervisor Herget, of the police COM
mfttee, announced that San Fran
cisco would get the mill, Gleason
Immediately became dubious.
Jack desired 1t understood that
he had say in the matter ana
that the firm of Richard and Glea-
son might yet see fit to go to some
arena in the vicinity of San Fran
cisco that is already in existence
rather than spend several thou
sand precious dollars in building
an arena here.
Gleason expressed confidence,
however. that he and Rickari
could reach an agreement and
that probably there would be no
further trouble when plans were
to be considered.
