Wells, who lias been contributing a reries of articles to the newspapers from Washington. "We are forced to realise,' says the Daily Mail, " that_ his articles are endangering our friendiy relations with France,- and regret having to .cay that he has not oeen an impartial' reporter of the conference. "From the beginning Mr. Wells displayed a marked aversion to France. His first allusion to the French dele gation was a sneer, and be continued to manifest this unfriendly attitude, which became increasingly unfair and mischievous. "His declaration that France wop preparing for war against Britain was omitted from the Daily Mail, ,but van spread in France through the instrumentality of an American newspaper, and destroyed the confidence of European readers in the sanity of his political judgment. " His monstrous accusation of treachery was bo resented that his saner despatches were not read for want of patience. " Moreover, his ill-considered message prophesying the end of the Empire conveyed a sinister significance, and we were driven to the conclusion that no useful purpose would, b© served by continuing his articles, and have so informed him."
