OF France has been growing daily since
the spell of the Germans was taken
away. The duchess, rightly OF wrongly,
is generally regarded as pro-German,
and one hears free talk of a telegram
she sent the Kaiser praying for Ger.
man victory. This has aroused intense
antagonsm among the elements favor
able to France. In word, there are
more different kinds of politics here than
in Harrisburg with a prohibition bill on
the calendar. The outcome, Of course,
is unimportant, so far as the number OF
people is concerted but important
nevertheless, as a glance at the history
of the duchy in It's relation to European
politics will show.
