MÜSTIAN DIPLOMACY PRANTED.

BY FRENCH SENATOR.

PARIS, March 21. *Eyes, ears, and hands everywhere" was a reference to British diplomacy in the course of a striking tribute paid by Lucken Hebert, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the French senate. Ha de- clared that Britain had shewed skill in winning friends everywhere, in har ing alles in every political party, and a group abroad making use of every- thing without exception as to party or doctrine, while British propaganda was based on supporting their friends til their final triumph, rescuing them from danger, and protecting them in times of stress. He concluded that it would be a fallacy to assume that French diplomacy had not owed some degree of inspiration to these methods resulting so bellenly, to Fresce's

friends across the channel.
