NEWS OF THE WEEK.

IN the region of foreign affairs there is a marked sense of unrest. Though happily the danger is now over, France has passed through an internal political crisis of great gravity, complicated by fears and anxieties in regard to the financial situation. Once more, however, she has shown that the moment.the danger-signal is given all classes and all sections of the nation combine to save the situation. No country seems less homogeneous than France when there is no active danger, but the signal "Standby to save the State" meets with a response so immediate and so heartfelt that no country is really less divided against itself.
