PROTEST AGAINST CANT.
"There are three sayings in this country," comments the Sydney Review, "which have sorely tried the temper of our brave Allies, the French. They are these : 1. "The British Army saved Pans." 2. "Business ss Usual." 3. "One freeman is worth three pressed men.'" It is unnecessary to explain why these sayings have been taken amiss in France; the offensiveness of them is really too apparent. But it is a& well to state them explicitly, so that in future they may be avoided. The warmth of the French nation towards this country has been generous and never falling since the war was declared; we ought not in return to offer them, however unintentionally, slights."
