Press Afraid of Another Tail Twisting Scene.
LONDON, March 31.—A Paris dispatch to The Daily News asks: "Are we to have a tail-twisting foreign minister in the person of M. Bourgeois? It almost appears so. The colonials are already rejoicing at the prospect of fun. M. Berthelot's only fault is the stain of the original sin inherited from his predecessors. The fatal mistake of French policy has been the perpetual nagging of England."
A dispatch to The Chronicle from Paris says: "M. Berthelot, in an interview, admitted that he had resigned on account of differences with his colleagues on foreign policy, but he declines to specify. It is generally admitted that, although M. Berthelot was made a scapegoat for the recent menacing note to England, M. Bourgeois was the real author."
