Paris, Feb: 5. Raymond Poincare, the new prime minister is one of the most interesting figures in the French Republic. Inihim are combjned . all that one : understands by French cul ture,- dignity ? and charm of manner, added to a reputation of ; stern1 integ rity that is nation-wide." ;' v. '".'.. r This is the third time " that 'the French - Academy .' has supplied' the Third Republic with a prime minister. The first was the Duke of ; Broglie in 1873, and the " second was M de Frey cinet in 1890. , : - " Poincare comes to power with, ripe ideas', on i the subject of government. tie., once expressed- the ; tnpl wish, which may be taken: as the key to his attitude, that deputies would legis late ;,without attempting to govern, that t ministers would govern ' on their own responsibility, and that ; justice should know no politics. . He is a con sistent opponent of socialism, but has expressed himself f grateful to social ists for the opportunities they, afford ed for studying their theories and dis cussing them calmly and xdispassion- ately. His - versatility is- to a i consid erable degree a matter of i family in; fluence, - for his father, - unclear" elder brother , and ; cousin have all been- dis tinguished in science and literature; and," as was said by Lavisse when Poincare was introduced into the Academy,' they might be said; to ' Con stitute a littler family university all by 1. themselves. . Poincare Vina 1a noun'ced antirpatriotfsni" in ' the pres ent State of Europe as a most 'ghastly deception and places love of country above all other considerations. - In his private and domestic life, the new premier is anything but a recluse. He has a fine house near the famous Boisv de Boulogue, . where he entertains largely Vbut bis family, bis friends, his books and is workss of art occupy - the greatest place in Ms affection and his attention. He does not miss many first night" perform ances at the theatre. - He is fond of racing and may occasionally be , seen at ' Longchamp and AuteuiL He is also a "lover of animals and his com panions while at work and study are a handsome collie dog and a pure-bred Persian caL' - y s A - lawyer by profession, Poincare is equally at home in .art, literature and philosophy. A curious battle, not down on the program of the opposing generals, was v fought recently- in the historic suburbs Ain-Zara, one. of the last towns to 'be captured by the Italians in the Tripoli war. At. midnight a fu rious howling vras heard coming from a score of dogs attached" to the Ital ian army who had last been seen, turn ing about? the outposts;. An. alarm was at once given arid all - the soldiers seized their rifles and prepared them selves for ; a night , attack from . the Turks and Arabs .It was "not a' man attack this time,- however, but a sur: prise visit; from about fifteen ' dogs attached to the Turkish forces. Sol diers leaned upon muskets and watch ed one of the fiercest engagements ot the. campaign. The dogs fought with something , of . the savagery -formerly seen among' the canines of Constan tinople, and when the soldiers-' finally cleared the field of action -five dogs were found "dead and a number mor tally wounded. " -" " ' . The recent sensational escape of Captain Lux of the French army from a German fortress,'' has brought into lively discussion the question of spy ing. " A leading French montiiy lias Invited leading members of the French Academy and of the French Institufe to give their opinion. The majority considers that the employment- of spies is dangerous demoralizing and use less. Jules Claretie declared that Germany on principle buys all spying information offered ; tor her, ? but that Napoleon always refused to : confer Hon on a" sdv. whatever risks he might have incurred. Baron D'Estournelles 'de Constant answered r that while : he considered espionage tmwbrthy of : any civilized nation, he still thought -that It was nuerile to 'attempt to suppress it un- j otrotom Xnf armed Deace.
