FRANCE BIG NATION
N. PeIIetan Says She'll Hold
Her Own in the World.
MEcCAGE tn AMERICANS
MESSAGE TO AMERICANS
"The Greatest and Most Powerful
Republic of the Old World"
IS TRYING HARD TO BEHAVE
But She Has Drawbacks, Just as We
Have on This Side of the
Wide Water.
By GEORGE DUFREsNE.

BY GEOhfE UUFhESNE.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, December 3d. asked NJ. Ca
mile Pelletan yesterday what he thought
Of the political outlook for the year we are
about to enter. assuring him that my
American readers were very much inter
ested in the politics of the greatest and
most powerful republic of the old world,
but the famous statesman was exceeding
ly loath to express himself.
1.-The greatest and most powerful repub-
lie Of the old world.' he said. repeating
my words. Eyes, 1 suppose France may
lay claim to that proud title, but of late 1
have very often asked myself II France is
really republic. So many recent revela-
lions have shown that our foreign poll
tics, during the last ten years, have been
conducted in anything but a republican
manner, and this fact sometimes makes
me dread our political outlook.
Some of Her Drawbacks.
France has in former days suffered
great losses, because individuals in pos
session of power have most carelessly
engaged her in very risky undertakings.
History tells us how Louis XIV, not salts
fed with his absolute power, had a per-
sonal foreign policy which very often was
opposed to that of his official government,
and we know how disastrous were the ef
fects of this. Much more recently We have
reason to remember with sorrow and re-
greet the events of 1910, which proved how
fatal it is to a nation to give a single in
dividual the power to lead it into disaster.
The strongest of all reasons which led up
to the birth Of the French republic, and
which makes the people remain loyal to it
today. Is the confident belief that We are
masters Of our own destinies.
Therefore it has surprised me, and a
good many French people with me, to
have discovered how a number of men
who are neither of royal nor imperial
blood have mysteriouSly decided the
course Of OUR foreign politics and repeat
edly led us to the brink of war to satisfy
their own individual ambitions. The
revelation of the France-Spanish treaty
was decisive on this point. That in
France a minister, informing only two
been able, in the name of the country.
and in face of the absolute certainty of
continued disorders in Morocco, to un-
dertake the conquest a deuX of part
of Africa and the people of France hear
nothing of this until seven years later.
after this mysterious engagement has
twice come near citing all Europe
afiame is surprising. The personal pol
Icy Of Louis XIV. apart from that of his
government, was called lie secret du
roll" and now 1t looks to me as if We

As to Humor.

Modern Teheran.
rom the London Chronicle.

from tle loluon chronicle.
Teheran has more than doubled its
population NEARLY a quarter of million)
during the last fifty years. There is
very little left of the spirit of Haroun
al Raschid except the surrounding mud
villages and the pits that dip down to the
underground water courses. Civilization
due mainly to British Influence, has
thrown its spell over the ancient city
and so we have up-to-date telegraphy
telephony, gas. electricity and tramcars
But the finest development of the spiri,
of the age is to be found in the exodus to
the giant mountains nearer to the Cas-
plan. There. at Simla, fashion and
wealth own magnificent houses, and live
in a beautifully dry and cool climate
The shah sets the example, for there are
at least half dozen royal palaces in
or near Teheran, where his majesty may
take his seasonal pleasure

An Optimistic View.

You ask me what l think of our pros
poets during the coming year and my
answer to this is: The French republic
is stronger and more powerful than
ever, We are far better able to take care
Of our national interests than at any
time during the last thirty years, and
the only power which We are likely to
get into conflict with. Germany. knows
longing us to a fight but If We are to
have q secret du roi''-if ambitious pol
tticians are to be sole masters of oul
foreign politics, then nobody can tel
what may happen, and l hope the people
of France will realize this while the
year we are about to enter is still young
The people of France want peace and
the destinies Of France are safe in the
hands Of her own people. With the ma
prospects for 1912 are exceedingly
bright"

Praise for the "B" Powder.

We have heard so much to the detri-
ment of the ''B'' powder. the cause of the
blowing up of the warship Liberte. that
it is cheering to hear something good in
it's favor. THE b powder is the best of
existing war powders This is the view
Of NJ. Daniel Berthelot, the famous scien-
fist, and has been arrived at after numer-
Gus experiments.
Prof Barthelot has for several years
been engaged in the study of ultraviolet
rays. He has found that they constitute
a source of creative energy. He saw
that, under the influence of the rays, pow
ders decomposed the same under the
influence of age and heat. The same
gases in the same proportions We're found.
The professor obtained specimens of all
the war powders in uSe-EngllSh, German,
Italian and other specimens, numbering
more than twenty-and came to the con-
clusiOn that none were equal to the 'B
lUwuer. IhiS resisted Ine destructive
action Of the ultraviolet rays longer than
any other powder.
The professor hopes that in fortnight
he will be able to place at the disposal of
powders AS to the deplorable accidents
attributed to the powder, he considers
that they were due to the bad conditions
under which 1t is kept in the navy. 1t is
kept in overheated magazines, he says
SO that it is a difficult matter to control
it, But by means of his discovery he is
persuaded that in thirty years the 3D.
powder will be as stable as when 1t left
the factory. The professor will submit
q paper to the Academy of Sciences on
the subject

Some Intended Reforms.

NJ Messimy, minister of war, will short
ly submit to parliament number of re-
forms, which will mean that the military
organization will be overhauled. One OF
these projects will aim at constituting a
certain number of forces. in which the
army corps will no longer be considered
as elementary units. The effect of this
reform will be that the number of gen.
erals will be reduced and the age limit
lowered. In the infantry the present
fourth battalions will be used in defend
ing places New battal- ons of Alpine
chasseurs and cyclists VIII be created.
AS regards the cavalry. the incorporation
of the Algerian native element will fur
nish two more regiments. Each army
corps will have only one or two reg :
ments, the rest being formed in ten di-
visions and placed at the disposal of the
various forces. AS regards the artillery,
there will be no changes of Importance. ,
The recruiting law is to be modified.
Men will be able to re-engage for Pc.
RODS extending from three to six months.
The pay will be increased so as to aug
ment the number of soldiers who join the
army as a profession. The recruiting and
advancement of officers will be regulated
on a new basis. The military schools will
be free, but an obligation will be placed
on those attending them to serve GER
tain number Of years. With regard to

TO Spend OVER
TWO MILLIONS
THIS YEAR
Atlanta Has a Very Expensive
Government
To Keep Up An Up-TO-Date Town
Takes More Cash Than the State
Of Georgia Itself viii EXpend In
1911.

Atlanta, Jan. 30.--It costs as much
or more to run the city of Atlanta as
il does to keep the state of Georgia
going. The income of the city approx
imately is $5,0O0.OOO, just about that
of the state, and yet there has gone up
cry for more municipal revenue,
which has reached serious proper
tions.
So serious has it become that the
three Atlanta newspapers are making
it daily topic, calling loudly for
something 10 be done. The call has
moved the tax committee of the city
council to hold a special meeting this
week to see what can he done
The tax committee is the city's ways
and means institution, and it has
promised that it will try to find a
satisfactory way Of producing more
revenue for the city
In the meantime property owners
feel that the city ought to do more
than it is doing in certain directions,
and yet as a rule they don't want their
taxes put up any higher.
The whole city got back of the
movement to give the city school teach
ers more salary; but they would hardly
have been so insistent if they thought
it would create an additional burden
upon them.
Likewise there is a general demand
for better police protection as the re-
suit of numerous hold-ups and bur-
glaries and it costs considerably more
to run fire department for twenty
six square miles of territory than it did
for twelve.
That the city's sanitary department
is wholly inadequate is not questioned
and street Improvement is moving at a
snail's pace.
Atlanta is paying the penalty OF
quick expansion. She was determined
to get ahead in the census of 1910 She
did to. Now she is finding it an ex-
pensive luxury.
The question of expense looms ~
as the biggest thing before the muni-
cipal eye. 1t costs money to expand
and it is now up to Atlanta to find the
coin
