Special instructions will be given to
Postmasters at several of the large cities

FRANCES EASTERN POLICY.
Declarations Made by the Minister {
Eorpfvn = ffnis.S

Declarations Made by the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs,
PARIS, June 10. = The question OF
Frances policy in the Far East was re-
vived in the Chamber of Deputies to-day
by NJ. Millereaud. the Socialist Deputy,
who protested against France playing
what he termed "Germany's game" M.
Millereaud was supported by other
Socialists of the Chamber, who objected
to the participation Of France in the COM
ing festivities in connection with the
opening OF the Baltic and Northern Sea
Canal.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, M.
HanOtaux, replied amid interruptions
which were met by Centrist cries OF
''Silence. communists" NJ. Hanotaux
defended the presence of the French
squadron at kiel by saying that French
sailors would represent not a down-1rod-
den France, but nation confident in her
strength and rich enough in glory to
dread comparison with no other power.
Referring to the question Of Frances
policy in the Far East, NJ. HanOtaux
made an important statement, declaring
that even had French interests been less
affected than they were the Government
would have considered it to be its i'm
perative duty to intervene Immediately
alter Russian interests were threatened.
Nobody could be blinded, ne continued,
TO the dangers of reversal OF French
policy in refusing to support Russia at
this juncture. He believed himself to be
the faithful interpreter OF the feelings of
the country, who he telegraphed to ST.
Petersburg that France places her alli-
ance in the first rank OF her considera-
tions, and tile Government OF the repub-
lie was then disposed to support with all
possible efficacy the views of the Imperial
Government concerning the condition of
peace between China and France.
Continuing his remarks upon the sub
ject of the presence of the French SQUAD
ron, NJ. Hanotaux said that the interests
of France, too, justified the attitude
adopted, and he pointed out the situation
in Egypt at the present time as result Of
the mistaken policy of abstentlon which
the French Parliament had forced upon
Gambetta, who foresaw the result of the
evils of the policy OF restraining the Gov
ernment from activity, 80 far as the Suez
Canal was concerned. The recent policy
of activity and expansion adopted by
France had lifted her again to her proper
place among the nations of the world,
and had brought about an alliance with
Russia, an alliance which had given
France the point d'appui she longed for.
M. HanOtaux concluded by asking for
the unequvocal support Of all the men,
bers of the Chamber, for he said policy
Of vacillation would only weaken French
prestige abroad.
The order of the day approving the
declarations Of the Government was then
adopted by 362 TO l05, and amid loud
cheers the Chamber of Deputies ad-
journed.

BATH IN. ". June 1O.-Davis Roths-
child. a leading business man of Bath,
has received letter from his brother
Morris Rothschild, who went to Ger
many last month, stating that an attempt
was made to force him into the German
army.
He reached his fathers house in Eish
titten in the latter part of May. After
being there a week he was arrested and
kept in prison for forty-eight hours, de-
spite his protests and the statement that
he was citizen of the United States and
the fact that he offered his passports and
naturalization papers in proof. At the
end of two days he was brought before
a military court and examined and found
eligible for service in the Germany army.
His papers were taken from him and he
was sentenced to six weeks imprison-
ment, at the end of which time he was to
begin three-years' term in the army.
David Greismar of New York, who ac-
companied Rothschild, employed law
yer, who laid the facts before the military
authorities with the result that the sem
tence was changed to line OF 300 marks.
Department at Berlin, which will decide
whether Rothschild shall serve his army
term.
Rothschiid paid his fine, pending the
decision of the War Department, and has
gone to Switzerland, where he now is.
David Rothschild will communicate at
once with the State Department in Wash
ington regarding the matter. One of the
papers taken from Rothschild and for
warded to Berlin was a regular passport
of the United Stat0 bearing the signature
OfSecretary Gresham.
ANOTHER CASE.
PATERSON (N. j. June 10.-Herman
Flick of Paterson, naturaliZed citizen of
the United States, has for five months
been confined under military charge in
the village of kohlenby -Ringstedt, in
Germany.
The cause alleged for his Imprisonment
is his liability to service in the army of
his country, but as he is provided with
passports. from the Department of State,
and is moreover much under the hight
required for recruits, it is thought there
are other reasons.
Just before his illness began Secretary
Gresham received some startling iniornla-
ton concerning the continued fmprison-
ment of American citizens in Germany,
and although his illness prevented imme-
diate action, the department has now
taken hold of it vigorously.
