founded on courage, for bullights.
In Spain people are not afraid of
blood, and that it is which makes
the nation indomitabIe!"
Everybody knows that Madame
Adam tells only the plain truth
about the indomitable character
of the people Of Spain. Rome
never mastered them as she mas
tered other races. The rush of the
MOOrs upon them was merely an
overwhelming wave which event
ually was hurled back again Ma
pOleon could not trample them into
subiection. The disaster that she
encountered q few years ago, when
she brayed the power of the
United States, has been nobly re-
deemed, because it only threw her
back upon herself.
But is it true that not only
tolerance. but a passion, for blood
shed is, as Madame Adam seems
to think, the surest indication of
an unconquerable spirit, of a
people?
We might find historic grounds
for such an opinion. When Rome
at the same time ruled and defied
the world her people delighted in
nothing SO much as scenes of blood
shed. Not only bulls and horses,
but elephants, lions, tigers, and
even armed men, had to surren-
der their lives by thousands in the
arenas in order to crafty the
thirst of the Roman populace for
blood In Rome, too. and still more
decidedly than in Spain. people
were not afraid of blood.
Yet Rome fell when other peo-
pies as fearless of blood as her
own began to descend in hordes
upon her. IT WAS THE SPIRIT
OF CHRISTIANITY THAT FINAL
LY SAVED ROME AND ETER-
NALIZED HER.
Madame Adam is undoubtedly
right in wishing to see Spain
placed shoulder TO shoulder with
France at this critical moment,
but she might have found a better
foundation for her faith in the
sturdy virtue of the Spanish peo-
pie than such as can be based upon
their alleged Indifference 70 blood

Queer Opinion of Spanish People

NNE of the questions which
most profoundly interest
all thoughtful Frenchmen
at the present moment is that of
an alliance between their country
and Spain. The fear of Germany
hangs over the French republic
as that of the Gauls, lowering in
dark clouds behind the Alps, hung
over ancient Rome.
Amid all the talk of peace,
which is everywhere SO popular
to-day, there is no mistaking the
fact that in France every heart
is heavy with thoughts of war. II
il were a war OF aggression and
conquest that lowered in the near
future. the hearts of the French
people would be not heavy, but
iuhiauL But the approach of a
defensive war invariably saddens
the spirits of those who expect to
be its victims,
The simple fact, which one sees
repeated again and again in the
French newspapers. that the popu-
lation of Germany is increasing at
the rate of a million a year, while
that of France is stationary. if not
declining, is sufficient to awaken
the glcomiest forebodings.
II is a spectacle that moves the
sympathy OF a foreign visitor 10

in order that Spanish armies may

But there is a broader aspect TO
this subject, which is revealed in
q remark of the famous French
authoress. Madame Adam. When
asked recently her opinion about
the proposed Spanish alliance, she
replied that such an understanding
appeared 10 her desirable in every
sense or the word. And then she
added some remarkable sentences:
