DANGEROUSLY NEAR WAR.
French People Realize That the Sit

Paris, Oct 14-Public opinion has
been brought up during the present
week by alleged revelations Of Great
Britain's readiness TO invade Germany

declaration of Prince Won Buel0W. the
German imperial chancellor, favorable
to a RussO-German rapprochement,
created feeling that France was the
center of dangerous enmities and coal
itions. Although the alleged disclOS-
ures did not receive the slightest Of

theme for discussion throughout Eu-
