PARIS, FRANCE, May pa momentous
topic is how to treat the Emperor of Ger
manv if he comes to the French capital.
The Gaulois has been sound ng politicians
and authors and the responses are almost
unanimous against the Emperor coming
to Paris. Nine. Adam thinks that Paris
and the French people would be the
laughing stock of Europe # the Emperor
were to come. Morris Barres thinks that
Paris might stone the, Emperor to death.
"It would be misfortune" he adds, IF
they did not"
Other replies oscillate between these
opinions. An eminent person who as
sumes to know the En- peror's mind says:
The Emperor quite appreciates the re-
buff he has lately received. He expected
it, but has not changed his inten tions on
that account. 1t is fixed resolve with
him to come to Paris and as friend, and
he will find means of coming"
