see only two points OF view when the matter is
discussed. These are the possibility of the
German soldiers being detained in France
longer than else would have been the case. and
secondly, they point to the present Of Paris as
PROOF That the German appreciation OF the
population Of Paris was more correct than thai

them by force OF arms; but 80 long as thew do

Corresponds nt-"Did Germany send a message

but would maintain friendly relations?' Bis
marek-"Certsinly not. There is a mistaken
idea prevailing in England with regard 10 the

GERMANY WILL NEVER INTERFERE
with the internal affairs OF France; but all par

French government appeals for aid, GERMANY

Germany will also aid the government of Frsnce
to enforce law and order by releasing the strict

than this Germany will be passive.
