OUR PARIS LETTER.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 187, 1001
Parik. 91st Augest. Thoro was a time when, if a Biate roke off diplomatic relations, the Ambassador on coming away used to bring all the members of the Embassy with him. However, this was not the case in the prezent dispate with Turkey, where only the French Ambassador shook off the dust of his foot at the Sultan, and took a through ticket by the Orient express for Paris. When Franco attacked China sigle-handed, through Admiral Courbet and Jules Ferry, no diplomatic relations were broken off; that enabled the war
to be enried on more rapidly to a finish. The Sultan cannot expect much sympathy from the Westerners for playing his old game of hum- bugging and deceit, which is, artistically, miles behind the play of Chinese statesmen. Trance naturally does not want a war; the more so as nowadays, the latter is so full of uncertainties, and costs so mucli money and lives. We can see where it begins, but cannot know where or how it will end. If German capitalists are trying it on with French contractors at the Quays of Constantinople, they may be left to fight it out. But if Russia, who has her own game to play, steps in, the conflagration will goon be general. The Bulton has no money; that never prevented a nation from going to wor; Turkey Jus admirable soldiers, who starve in rags for nothing a day, and soe Paradise at the end of their rites. Their officers are the worst in the world. The French fleet will not go to Constantinople to interview Abdul-Hamid; they would never run the two miles of forts of the Dardanelles, armed with the best Krupp Long Toms, and worked by German officers. The Russian Host would have to run the same risks in order to reached the Mediterrques, and if it did got there, bo further prepared for a "stand and
raneun Turkey would likely use her bent weapon-privateyrs-and so wipe out French complerce. Nor is if it all certain that Ga many and Austria would allow Russia and France to settle the Near Eastern Question. Ode propondorating power feared, if not loved Great Britain would have something to say. She is now quite armed, has expended nearly 200 millions sterling in the Boor Wer, and put an army of 300,000 men in the field. France can study that sacrifice.
