French Are Confident.
There is great confidence here in the
French general staff and great respect
for the enterprise which Frenchmen have
developed In the last decade In sports.
particularly In aviation, and keen re-
spect for the bravery and hot-headed
dash Of French blood.
Whether the stolid endurance and
enormous numbers Of the Russian masses
will enable them to hold their own
against the traditionally superior brains
of the German general staff is another
important question,
So far as their own progress is con-
cerned the British feel deep satisfaction
that the navy has proved sufflciently
equal to its work up to date to make 1t
possible to land on the continent large

fought, with the same precision and lack

behind a bed and was covered with a

The goods, said Watkins, were
