UR relations with France
have usually been of such
a friendly nature from the
founding Ofthe nation nm

1EgggHH a friendly nature from the
t9Gy founding ofthe nation un-
til the present day that most people
have forgotten that we were ever
at war with her. But we we're,
from the spring of 1898 to Septem-
Der, 1900.
James Monroe was minister to
France in 1895 when the Directory
which had succeeded to the Ter
ror of Robespierre'' informed him
the treaty of 1778 between France
and the United States was at an end
as America had signed the treaty
with England known as jays trea-
ty. Mr.. Monroe replied that the
treaty of 177S had already been
brought to nothing by the constant
capture of American ships by
French men-of-war. France, under
the Terror, had regarded the rest of
the world in the same light as the
Russian bolshevists do now. Amer.
ican merchant ships were captured
and condemned and sold.
Mr.Monroe was too plant; he was
recalled, and Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney was sent over in his place.
The Directory from selfish motives
continued the policy of claim
ing exemption from international
law which the Terror had begun
in the name of liberty. The French
government would not receive
Pinckney and ordered him out of
the country. President Adams
called special session of congress
and recommended the prompt for.
nation of navy and the permis-
sion for merchant ships to arm
themselves.
Pinckney was in Holland. The
president appointed Elbridge Gerry
and John Marshall as extra ENJOYS
to join Pinckney, to 60 to Paris
and negotiate. On reaching Paris
the commissioners found that Tai
leyrand was minister of foreign af-
fairs. Talleyrand sent go-betweens
to the commissioners telling them
that before the DIRECTORY would
negotiate they must pay bribe of
$25O,OOO. The bribe was to be di-
vided among all the directors ex-
cept one who, it was explained,
was already making enough mon
ey by his rake off on the coDdem-
nation of American ships. And
there was another little matter;
the United States must make "a
loan to the French government of
So, 10000 These matters being
agreed to the American claim for
damages would be submitted to
arbitration provided America
would advance money to pay any
damages assessed against the Di-
rectory government of France.
The American ENJOYS being
somewhat staggered at these prop
ositions, Talleyrand's messenger
said: 'You do not seem to under
stand. 1t is question of money.
Speak to the point. What is your
answer?"
One of the ENJOYS replied: ''Our
answer is No, no, no-not a six
pence"
This reply was soon thrilling
the United States under the more
ornate form of millions for de-
fense, but not one cent for
tribute" Talleyrand sent Pinck-
ney and Marshall out of the coun-
try, but asked Gerry to stay, but
upon an imperative order from
Washington Gerry, too, withdrew.
A storm of indignation swept the
country when the president gave
to congress the results of the
American mission. Bills for in
creasing the navy and purchasing
iron works were passed and the
navy made for the first time sep

was authorized to enlist 10000

DIES ON TRAIN
Burns Prove Fatal to Emma Claim
of Hancock


Five-year-old Emma Slahin of Hancock
died on Central Vermont train at Rich
mond yesterday afternoon as she was be-
ing hurried to this city for treatment at "A
local hospital The child was accompan-
led by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
D. Clafiin, and she was suffering from
terrible burns on her face. neck and alb
domen, 1t is stated th-t the child was
upstairs alone in the Caf1in home in Han
cock and the parents had gone down to
the first floor of the house for a short
time While they were briefly absent it
is said the child got hold of some
matches and set her night dress on fire
and before her cries of pain bought help
she was so badly buned that it was
thought best to bring her to Burlington
for hospital care.
When the train that was bearing the
suffering child and her parents reached
Richmond the little victim of the acct
dent ceased to breathe. The stricken par
ents tried to get a physician at Essex
Junction but without success so they pro-
cecdcd to this city. where DR.. D. J. Nolan
was summoned by phone to the Union
station.
When he arrived. finding there was
nothing he could do, the city health off,
GER, DIR. G. A. Ravcy, was called upon and
he gave the necessary permission to have
the body removed. Undertaken +, j.
Dryer took charge of the body, which
will be taken to the family home at Han
cock for funeral and interment.
