PEOPLE ARE AWAKENING
Especial Copyright cable.)

PARIS, June 17-Unofficial France is
just awakening to the very serious sit
uation In the negotiations with Germany
and is beginning to realize that the
country may be on the brink of great
war with her powerful neighbor. The
government has been long aware Of it.
NJ Delcasse, according to a close
friend, long ago made up his mind that
{ Germany had gone to work deliberately
to force quarrel on France, as soon as
the developments in the Far East
demonstrated that Russia had her hands
fun with Japan and could give no as
sistance to her ally.
He was inclined, saws this authority
to meet this situation fairly as the best
way of compelling the Kaiser to show
his hand The incredulity of his COZ
prived him of their support and his
resignation became necessary
Rouvier Now Convinced.
1t is said now that NJ. Rouvier has
come to the same conclusion that NJ.
Deicasse had reached and believes that
France is faced by a crisis where she
must enter into partnership with Ger
many against the rest of Europe with
the Kaiser as senior partner. or must
take stand where Germany must back
which have been pending between the
two countries. Germany has assumed
30 uncompromfsing an attitude that ii
Is plain she wants no settlements of the
points at issue terms which France
can consistently grant except as an ally
for offcnse and defense.
1t has been held out to France that
In an alliance between France and Ger
many, she could dominate and ulti-
matefy divide Europe and the greater
part of the world
Statesman Discusses Alliance.
A well known French statesman, in
speaking of this point said:
1T would be all well for France to go
into such an alliance il there was any
assurance that with it's aims accom-
plished Germany would not then seek to
absorb France. 1t Is this fear that pre-
vents France from considering such an
alliance seriously. Much will depend
upon the attitude of the other powers
If IL becomes evident that France is to
be left to meet the crisis alone, Germany
may perhaps have her way.
If however, France is assured of the
proper backing the kaiser's bluff may
be called. as you say in America"
In the meantime the preparations for
trouble are being carried forward active
~ but quietly.
