Marchand Of Fashoda

The whirligiE of time has brought
about few changes so striking IA that
General Marchand should be wounded
in battle where his forces were CO.
operating with the British whose d.
rector Is none other than Kitchener OF
khartoum, OF whom the French gem
erai has many memories.
Seventeen years ago when Kitchener
had taken khartoum he pushed up the
Nile and at Fashoda was amazed to see
the French flag flying from a small
fort. Major Marchand and a small
body of French troops had pushed
across Africa from the west coas, into
what was then loked upon as No Mans
Land since the Mahdi had long since
driven out the Egyptian forces. Kitch-
ener forced Marchand 10 haul down his
flag and a tense diplomatic situation
cnSued which almost resulted In war.
France was at this time pushing her
African dominions and was jealous OF
the British occupation OF Egypt.
1t was unfortunate for France that
she had refused to cooperate with
Great Britain at the time of the Arab
list outbreak. She could have entered
upon the bombardmcnt of Alexandria
on even terms with Great Britain. but
she refused. as did Italy. The British
temporary occupation" nevertheless.
remained thorn in the flesh OF
nut ncT own position IN AL
gicrs was such that she did not feel
like pressing the matter to the break
ing point, even at the time of the
Fashoda incident 4 few years later.
through the personal Intervention OF
King Edward, all friction between the
two nations was removed. Many
Frerchmcn at the time were bitter over
the compromise. which in many re-
spects they considered r surrender. but
that same entente was of the greatest
value to France when the present war
broke out.
From the time Kitchener and Mar
chand stood at dasGers drawn In
Fashoda to the present much impor-
tant history has been made. No one
could have conceived the exact changes
which have come about. The flags Of
Egypt and Great Britain still float to-
gethcr over the Soudan. Tho French
have increased their African dominions
and the Germans have only one small
colony there. to which they are hold
Ing grimly. The AlEeciras conference
and the Agadr incident have come and
gone. but the future Of Africa to n
large extent still hangs upon the out
come OF the present war.
That Marchand has fallen lighting
side by side with tho British is an
other example of changes which time
brings which none can foresee.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

treat must have dcGenerated into a

holds supreme place in Europc's
