slider the situation in Paris. Bismarck
was present 1t was agreed to notify
the Versailles Government that a further
limited period would be allowed for the
restoration Of authority, the enforcement
of order, and thu fulflment Of the treaty
stipnlations, after which Germany will
take Independent action to establish law
and order in Paris. The dispatch will
emphasize the wish Of Germany not to
interfere in the internal or political affairs
OF France, but will add that such IN in
terninable civil war, originating in re.
volntion and characterized by disgraceiul
excesses, cannot long be tolerated, for the
moral and material interests of Germany,
as well as those Of all Europe, are suffer-
ing. Private reliable information leads to
the belief that 1t Is the intention IOf the
Germans TO restore the Regency rs the
next legitimate Government, in the event
OF the Versailles Government being un.
able to enforce its authority.
