Such an occurance as that which is reported on the French frontier where a French official is-said to have been enticed upon Germany territory in ordf iL.tp his arrests, and finally actual- ly, arrested on French territeiry, can- not be overlooked. The selfoontrol and moderation of the French press is admirable. War appears to English newspapers so certain that they have already appointed their continental staffs of correspondents.
