Great Britain. He has always been n
firm friend of the United States. and
proved this when Minister of Foreign
Affairs during the Spanish
War. NJ. Hanotaux is. moreover. a
trustworthy. painstaking historian of
France during the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. His life Of Richelieu
was rewarded in 1897 by his election to
the French Academy. He has written a
remarkable series of articles on the for
eign policy of France In the REVUE
Hebdomadaire." and these are collected
In La Politique de rEquilebre 1907

NJ. Hanotaux's opinions carry with
them great authority, and II is interest
ing to note that he Is not believer In
the efficacy Of the entente cordiale" be-
tween France and Great Britain. He
considers that the true policy for France
Is based not upon treaties and "en-
tentes," but upon the balance Of inter-
ests of the powers. For instance he Is
convinced that Germany has neither the
desire nor the interest TO enter upon a
war with France or with England. Ger

gave him of the beauties OF the DANUBE,
Jules Verne set about new story, anu

thinks that the French public is wrong
IN its notion that in case Of war the
military and naval intervention OF Great
Britain would be decisive. Such mill
tary intervention, he says, has long been
discounted by Germany, and the small
army corps that England could land
either in Belgium or at Hamburg, or in
Picardy and Champagne, to protect Paris
would not be sufficient TO accomplish Its
purpose. This weighty writer urges his
countrymen to prepare for war, so as not
to fear its consequences. But he thinks

AUTHORSHIP, AvOIRDUPoIs.

Clement X. Shorter in The Sphere.
have been reading a charming arti-
Gle by M. Jules Claretie in a copy OF
lie Temps" incidentally we are invited
to settle the question OF the rivalry be-
tween the authors who are fat and tho
authors who are thin-which write the
best books? We are reminded that Nj.
lola wrote his greatest novels after no
had become fat, that Gautier was fat.
and Balzac and Rossini, the elder Du-
mas ana Victor Hugo. while in England
we are assured that Mr.. Chesterton has
this distinction I'm common with DR..
Johnson. Thackeray and Byron. On the
other hand, It is pointed out that La
MARITIME and Baudelaire were thin. as
also were Dante, Voltaire and Words
worth. l am afraid the fight between
the fat and the lean authors must al
ways be a drawn one.
