A Mainichi, dispatch reports. that the Daily Mail has announced the discontinuanes of Mr. H., G. Wells's articles because of their partial character and because of their danger to the friendly relations between Britain and France. Presumably the Daily Mail regards the publication of the articles elsewhere than in its columns as of no effect on interna- tional relations, Mr. Wells, the Daily Mail further complains, has from the beginning shown the utmost goodwill towards Russia and Germany and an unfair, mischievous aversion to France, which is, of course, flying in the face of all present policies, Evidently the time when the Daily Mail threatened to roll
