Trouble Brewing Between France
and Germany.
LONDON, May "a Paris correspon-
dent Of the Times, telegraphs that uneasi-
ness prevails in well informed circle, in
Paris. and the most serious minds believe
that danger is impending. Politicians
from abroad, as well as those claiming to
be well informed ut home, assert that
peace or war depends on the approaching
meeting ofthe Gar and German Emperor.
No one denies but that powerful party
in Germany, comprising the entire mill
tary feels that the late treaty was too
lenient; that the indemnity paid has re-
turned to the French Golfers; that the
possession of Belfort by France is dan
gerous to Germany; that France is reor-
ganizing rapidly and will soon be able
TO furnish q formidable army for any al
lance with other nations; that Germany
is no richer than before the war. Her
finances and social organization cannot
long support the expense Of the present
armaments and she cannot disarm in the
face of France. The military party in
Germany are convinced that never was
there a moment more propitlous than the
present to secure for their country Il
long era Of prosperity and peace. War
ought t. be promptly undertaken. 1t
is necessary to march on Paris and
take up a position wnere II
new peace can be signed. which takes
Belfort from France, limits her active
army, and exact Sl0,OOO,OOO OOO of francs
in twenty years. Paris could be attacked
if France should refuse to sign, Is all the
powers have confined themselves to
tinid or friendly representation with re-
gard to the Belgian notes, which shows
that to finish with Franco is duty to
Germany and humanity. Europe vii,
never be tranquil while the blundrr Of
treaty which leaves France ready to
revive and rc-cntcr the struggle j.
unrectifcd. WHAT may be promptly ex
ecuted at an insignificant sacrifice, would
tend in years to cost oceans of blood.
Russia must be convinced of this neces-
sity. The Times correspondent adds, it
would be untrue to say that these argu-
mcnts arc accepted even in Germany,
outside OF . peculiar party. 1t would be
equally untrue To say that these menaces
are destined to be realized The
diplomatic world even in Germany
declares that he cannot fight against
an enemy who declares for peace. Hon
est Germans scout the suppositiou. The
Emperor has scruples, but the party for
immediate action urge it a, duty to
sink al. considerations il order to save
the country. They insist that Franc" be
made TO accept reassuring treaty, if
she will rot fight. Germany, in order to
have the right to reproach France as the
cause of her uneasness, must solemnly
disclam the above theories. The Times
in its editorial columns scouts the apprc.
tensions as raised by the aIarmists and
the alarmed in Paris.

lin to the Times, reports that working
