It was with a feeling of unmitigated satisfaction that the world heard of the removal of the mis understanding between France and this country creat ed by a quite paltry incident at Casablanca. Nobody with any degree of perception was surprised at the amicable solution, however. Thus another “cri sis” is over; but within the next day or two we con fidently expect to see the old familiar word again adorning the columns of those papers which flourish and fatten upon sensational exaggeration. If there is any particular word that is bandied about by Press scribes without a thought as to its literal signifi cance it is surely “crisis.” In rapid succession we have had a Turkish “crisis,” a Chancellorian “cri sis,” an Imperial “crisis,” and a Franco-German “cri sis” ; and having caught the epidemic the Press is not likely to relinquish its hold upon this stirring noun. None the less, for our own part we are heartily weary of the endless reiteration, nor do we doubt that the reading public is equally tired of it. It is true that “crisis” is philologically de fined as a point or time for deciding anything, or the decisive moment or turning-point, and this de finition is more or less applicable to many of the political problems which are springing up all round us in these stirring days. But judged by the unwritten laws of journalese, “crisis” represents something very serious indeed; and to apply it haphazard to the slightest difficulty arising between two great Powers is to detract from its dignity when a really legitimate occasion does happen for its employment. After shaving heard the cry of “Wolf !”.sq. constantly shouted in its ear, when there was no wolf, the public will begin to lose all confidence in the Press as a reliable barometer of the political situation. Again, it is not only in headlines that certain or gans of the Press indulge in silly sensationalism; the same symptoms of morbid fact distortion also make their appearance in the news columns and leading articles, from which it would appear that the sole aim of many editors is to deliberately mis lead their readers on current happenings. We have just had a remarkable example of the modern tendency—traceable to the strenuous mo notony of modern life, perhaps—on the part of the Press to magnify comparitively trivial incidents into crises on which the fates of nations tremble in the balance. The Casablanca occurrence, deplorable as it undoubtedly was, offered no reasonable scope for serious developments. So far as can be gathered from the scanty extracts of official reports and the conflicting narratives of “eye-witnesses,” the inci dent was the direct outcome of petty officialdom on both sides, aggravated by mutual personal acerbity arising out of various causes. The entire affair was eminently capable of equitable adjustment by the Hague Court of Arbitration, which institution was established for the direct purpose of solving simi lar knotty points of international law, formerly too often decided by the crude arbitrament of war. It appears that both the French and German Govern ments were quietly engaged in setting forth their respective cases for consideration by the Hague judge's when, almost without warning, complications made their appearance. Before the exact nature of these complications became known, almost before their existence became known, the newspapers of both countries concerned hoisted the danger signal and hurriedly brought into play the word “crisis.” As a imatter of fact, there was absolutely nothing in the situation to justify these pretended apprehen sions. The German Government is credited with having made certain proposals to France, but the story that these proposals included a demand for an apology from France has been officially denied. The French Government instructed M. Cambon, its Ambassador at Berlin, to advise the Imperial Go vernment of France’s inability to comply with cer tain of the suggestions put forward by Germany. That was all, but it was more than enough for the scare-mongers. After indulging in a frenzied riot of fiery verbiage, which could hardly be expected to strengthen mutual amity between France and Ger many, the Press learned that the slight difficulties apparent in the early stages of the negotiations had been eliminated, and that the two Governments were in perfect harmony on the subject. It has since trans pired that the momentary hindrance to a settlement was brought about by the conflicting reports re ceived from the French and German agents at Casa- 11. G. B.

W. Thiel, Victoria Str. 13 only. blanca. After considering the reporf of its own agent the German Government very naturally shaped out a certain course of action; but upon comparing this report with that of the French agent, placed at its disposal by M. Clemenceau, and discovering very grave dissimilarities between the two, Berlin, with highly commendable promptitude and courtesy, indicated its intention of abandoning its former atti tude and laying the whole affair unreservedly before the Hague tribunal. This decision, and indeed the en tire conduct of the negotations, reflects the very highest credit on the statesmen of this country and France. Several newspaper writers are not backward in proffering advice to responsible Ministers as to the conduct of State affairs; but well for the peace of the world is it that these clever scribes have no hand in the actual arrangement of international po litical affairs. Were it otherwise the consequences would assuredly be too appalling to contemplate. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. ANOTHER DREADNOUGHT. London, November 11. The new battleship “Bellerophon” returned to Portsmouth yesterday, after making a trial trip. Her speed, which reached 22 knots, exceeded all expec tations. THE SEDITION IN INDIA. Calcutta, November 11. Another political crime of the worst kind has deepened the sensation of unrest in Calcutta. Yester day evening Sub-Inspector Nundo Lail Bannerjee, one of the cleverest Bengali detectives, who traced Bhakai, the Anarchist, who threw the bomb at Mrs. and Miss Kennedy, was shot down in Serpentine-lane, a crowded quarter, and the body was found riddled with bullets. The people in the locality were ap parently afraid to give evidence, but it is stated that Bannerjee was followed by three men armed with revolvers, who first shot at him from some distance, and when he fell, stopped over his prostrate body and discharged shot after shot into it. The mur derers then fled through the back lanes, and the po lice are absolutely without a clue. The Anglo-Indian press demands the immediate passing of a special Act to deal with political crime. The Terrorists have so great a hold over the people that the latter are afraid to help the police for fear of the conse quences. Calcutta, November 11. Kanai, one of the two men who murdered the informer Gossain in Alipur Gaol on August 31, was hanged yesterday morning. Special precautions were taken by the police against disturbance. The execu tion of Natyrendra, the other murderer, has been postponed pending an appeal to the Viceroy. The student community is greatly excited as a result of the late occurrences here. Today large numbers of students paraded the streets barefooted, as a de monstration against the execution of the murderer Kanai, , .. .. Simla, November 11. Recent events in Calcutta have created feelings of intense indignation in northern India. The opinion is very ■ strongly held here that the immediate es tablishment of a Court of Summary Jurisdiction to deal with anarchists, political murder, and sedition cases is absolutely necessary. RETIREMENT OF THE CUNARD COMMODORE. London, November 11. Captain Watt, commodore of the Cunard fleet, who is retiring after 35 years’ service, completed his last trip in the “Lusitania,” which arrived at Liver pool yesterday. The passengers, under the presi dency of the Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, presented him with an address, in which they said that he and his brother commanders, who had done so much to promote the comfort and safety /of Atlantic travel, were deserving of the deepest gratitude from all ocean voyagers. Captain Watt is 63 years of age. ARRIVAL OF THE “LUSITANIA.” London, November 11. The “Lusitania” arrived at Liverpool from New York yesterday accomplishing her passage in 5 days 3 hours and 30 minutes. Her average speed was 22.74 knots. The vessel reached Queenstown on Monday night, with 540 passengers and mails. She had-experienced strong easterly winds and high seas, which retarded her passage. Capt. Turner, late of the “Caronia,” who has been appointed to succeed Capt. Watt in com mand of the “Lusitania,” joined the liner at Queens town. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN. The Herald, which has for several months past been booming the idea of an alliance between the United States and China, had a special front-page feature recently in the form of a cabled interview granted to its special correspondent in Tokio by Admiral Ito, who is rightly described as the Japa nese statesman “whose word on any national po licy means most.” Admiral Ito says all kinds of nice things about Japan’s love for China, and his earnest desire for peace in the Orient. So far from wishing to do minate China to the exclusion of the Western Powers and the United States, Japan, according to the Ad miral, is truly anxious that all should share in the good time coming. Indeed, to take the Admiral’s line of argument literally, Japan will have too much to do in Formosa, Corea, and the Liao Tung Pen insula for many years to come to be able to bother with such things as trade and commerce in China.
