M. Lockroy, the French journalist and politician, has published a book on the military situation, which has caused considerable sensation. He considers that, in the event of war, the French coast would be at the mercy of the Triple Alliance, but is of opinion that the differential tariff has weakened the position of Italy. He asserts that the British Empireis vulnerable at every point, and proceeds to say that the French arms and powder are unrivalled and will play a formidable part in the next war. The share that France will take is unknown, but M. Lockroy declares her military organisation is sufficiently powerful to destroy the whole people of any nation opposed to her. Hong Kong, Oct. 14.
