britain in 1913 one of his personal peculiarities is a fad for huge furniture i germans feared him it may be rightly said that m del casse the french foreign minister whose resignation led to the down fall of the late french govei nment paved the wv for the entente cor- diale which has united france and england in such close comradeship delcasse has always been a friend of england and many will remember how he was cheered again and again when he visited london with presi dent loubet in 1903 to prepare with lord lansdowne the anglofrench agreement furthermore it was del casse who fostered with loving care the francorussian alliance delcasses career is romantic to a degree and is all the more wonderful to contemplate seeing that he comes of the lowliest stock his father was only a poor peasant and his grand father and greatgrandfather earned i their living by the hoe delcasse him self started life as a teacher and journalist and it was his articles on foreign politics which first attracted attention to the man who has dona more to rehabilitate france in the eyes of other nations than any other minister of late years one of delcasses most interesting confessions is that while he was a journalist he tried his hand at play- writing i wrote a fouract comedy and sought the advice of a well- known manager he says who was charming reserved and prudent a reserved man the play went back to my drawer then politics got hold of me i gavo up my literary ambition and my play is in the drawer still delcasse is a man whom the ger mans have always feared mainly on account of the revolutions he brought about in tho foreign affairs of france and in the navy during his term as minister of marine he inspired of ficers and men with a new spirit and in every direction slackness and in efficiency gave way before his vigor and determination in private life delcasse is one of the most retiring and reserved of men he sedulously cultivates his own fireside and is totally unknown in
