Emperor trumpets 10 the world his detesation Oh hose

of our foreign policy These words strike upon the ear
like the first of defiance 10 Europe They are the

Ministers had any knowledge Of what the Emperor
was going 20 say TO the aboers Of Auxee and that they
are a. much taken by surprise the public at large

That understanding exists between the French gov
snment NJ Bisnsk and Italy no one now seems to have
the sehtest doubt and the assertion that Italy has begun

is resolved with deIisiye smile. Two or three months
ago the project Of the Italian Government for the Teduc-
ton OF is expenditure and the relief OF its financial bur-
dens was sent up Paris for approval As II was seen
that considerable reductions in the army formed an I'M
porant item in the project word at once sent back to
forence that whatever else cut down the army mus,
suffer no diminuion This may be denied II lta but
have It from too good authority TO doubt IL There
no need to be surprised at the Minister OF states refusal
10 accept the discussion the foreign policy Of France
