POLITICAL FEELING.
SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION. > HOW LONG? (Received April 15, 9.15 a.m. LONDON, 14th April. The Paris correspondent of The Times states thai the French Senate, under pressure from Aube, has declared against all delimitation, and that the Chamber of Deputies, under impulsion from the Marne rioters, supports the Government, which is inclined to yield to the greatest and most recent pressure. The seriousness of the situation lies in the fact that large sections of the masses are convinced that the proper way to influence public opinion, Parliament, and the Government, is to indulge in violence. The partisans of Sabotage scarcely fear the arm of the law or the military ; they are confident that M. Jaures (the Socialist leader) and his friends will keep the action of both within bounds. "The question is," adds the correspondent, "how long Frenchmen will go about their daily business on these terms. They are in horror that the increasing lawlessness may possibly some day exceed the present widespread horror of reaction."
