ment in connection with tho recent 1nis,,n.
dcrstanding botween Franco md Germany
l'as at last been officially and authoritatively
told by Lord DERBY in the l1ouse OF Lor1s.
According to his Lorlshir, Tho recent notable
tncrehso in the French armament has been
for tho laudablo purpose Of regaining that
national influence in European politics lost
In tho wnr with Germany. Tho latsor Gov

going On in Franco. England, in view
of tho many complaints made by Ger.

lsevod that the caso WIS one in which inter-
vention was impcrativoly demanded, lest
Germany should feel herson called upon to
request tho French Government to put stop
to further armament, which voull only re-
suit in hnstening it. The French authorities

pretext to renew tho war. In this view Of
tho caso, Great Britain decided to interpose
its influence in the interest Of peace. rus

understanding, aud, togathcr with England,
succeeded in preventing, for time at least,
tho renewal Of strife between the two gzoat
nations. Lord DEnnr significantly remarked,
