Says France Has Herself to Blame.

PARIS, Aug. 6.-Lockroy, in an interview
to-day, said he had no doubt but that the
handsome reception to the French fleet at
Cronstadt, if not the visit itself, was due to
England's support of the dreibund,
while France was isolated. He said
there was strong temptation for
the oaprcious German emperor to
plunge Germany into war. Reapproach-
ment between France and Russia removed
that danger. Francer, howeve, had mainly
herself to blame, her obstinacy in her policy
in Egyptian and Newfoundland questions
throwing England into the arms of Ger
many and the Dreibund.
