Poincare and Franco being blamed for being right and proving it, but we are ready to believe the British leaders will open their minds to the Note’s clearness and the revival of memories of the fifty months struggle "ill refresh their memory. The “Matin” states M. .Poincare’s answer is complete, courteous, and peremptory. Never has France's cause been more explicitly set forth. The “Echo de Paris” says AT. I’oin—<caro in a spirit of conciliation which Britain cannot fail to appieciate, shows • France's method to obtain a settlement, and also serve ttie interests of both Fiance and England. Tl o has also observed he will not depart from this method. England can decide at her pleasure. < 'Hie "Figaro” remarks that the coni troversy is exhausted. There is nothing to be added to such a powerful demonstration, as AT. Poincare’s. The “Oeuvre” says the document is singularly different to the British and proves a will to maintain the Entente, despite England. MOROCCAN TROUBLE. MADRID, August ’2.1.
