thronged and there was great animation
at the opening of the session when it
became known that two alleged hostile

Interpolation.
Identical statements were read in the
Chamber of Deputies by the Premier. NJ.

In the front rank of the important
interests of the country, bound up with
the conservation of the dignity of the
nation. we place the interests of the
army. which the Republic mas con
strncted on a stronger and wider basis
and which is synonymous with the Re
public's security and is the pride of
France. We think. with the army's
most illustrious and surest guides. that
inviolable' attachment to discipline is
the first and essential guarantee of the
army's own greatness. We intend to
defend it with the same energy against
the attacks and solicitations which con
stitute the most undeserved Of insults.
