FRANCE AND GERMANY. France under President Poincaré is an entirely different country to what it was under M. Fallières. Nehody must have: perceived the change more 50 than Germany, whose military, naval, and diplomatic challenges have been promptly and precisely answered by "New France." M. Raymond Poincaré, the new President of the French Republic, is more i man of action than words.. How much he is liked was seen a few daya ago when the people of Paris turned out in thousands to honour him when he formally succeeded M. Fallières. M. Poincaré was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm by the crowds which assembled at the Elysée and the Hotel de Ville. We have only to attentively read the now President's first message to Parliament in order to judge the sort of man who is . now at the head of affairs in this country. While France is as much bent as ever on preserving peace in Europe, she cannot and will not take Germany's military challenge lying down. This is quito in accord with the wave of patriotic enthy- siasm which is sweeping over France. The demand on the part of the Govern- ment for practically an unlimited vote to strengthen the nation's defences has been approved by all shades of political opinion. By deciding to increase the peace strength of her army to 865,000, Germany has naturally placed this coun try in a position of dangerous inferiority, Almost by return of post Germany was informed that France, too, had decided

Beyond sacrificing a few more times in riots thousand lives the Turks are still where they were before-with few exceptions Both combatants have had enough of fighting, and certain it is that their pocket will not stand the strain of a war without victories very much longer. Turkey's internal troubles concern her. more than the presence of the Allies; desirous as she is of repelling her enemies, she can no longer depend upon the solidary of her troops to do so. Let her then make peace this time seriously. The differences between Bulgaria and Rumania are once more said to be on the verge of amicablo adjustment. Europe is quite willing to arbitrate between these two countries, and Bulgaria and Rumauia have, it is believed here, wisely decided to allow the Powers to decide how much territory the former is to cede to the latter. The Austro-Russian con- fliet still hangs fire; all depends upon the fate of Skutari. So long as the
Balkan war is allowed to go on we must. expect a series of crises. Our minds will not be at rest until a settlement is com- plote. What makes the maintenance of peace so extremely difficult in the present ease is because the complications, racial, economic, and political, are ac bewilder- ing.
