PARIS, May 9.-Yesterday 10000 Of the
first edition Of General Boulanger's book
called German Invasion" were distributed
gratuitously in the provinces. In the first
preface appears the following: Friendly
Readers-My adversaries represent me as
being an apostle Of war. 1t Is for you to
Judge in reading this book Of a patriot who
has no other inspiration than the high senti-
ment Of national dignity"
The second preface sums up as follows:
"Pe0ple have two ways OF protecting their
national independence and civil rights, the
gun and the vote. The latter shows the Will
OF the people. The former watches over the
security Of the nation against foreign attack.
Hence the army must dictate the foreign
policy"
General Boulanger esteems that he is rem
dering a service to his country by publishing
his book, as the government has always
neglected to give or publish the war record.
He means thus TO enlighten the garret, the
workshop and the farm house and 10 make
the truths penetrate into the centre Of the
laboring classes
