FRANCE AND THE SOUDAN.
Paris, December 5. , The Figaro, in an article on the pro- , posed Gordon Memorial. College at Khar- , town, says : — " Before a quarter of a s century the Egyptians educated in this college will be perfoot officials. They j will be the indefatigable and treasured agents of British policy in these regions of Africa. We can thus without effort j conceive the idea of the British in invest- , ing Lord Kitchener with a kind of African "Viceroyalty, in making him, according to f their expression, the grand potentate of ( Central Africa. It is simply a question of knowing whether he will have time to , realise his plans. At present, undoubtedly, nothing seems able to oppose the : progress of the British in Africa ; but the conditions of the balance of power in ; Europe may change, the grouping of the alliances may be modified. Then there j will be a period during which the expansive movement of British policy will be j checked. The Chamber of Deputies of Fiance should therefore not be niggardly j in the subsidy which it makes to the ] French schools in the East. The religious < instructors and the Brothers of the Christian schools are for the moment j the only redoubtable adversaries of Lord ; Kitchener." j
