WARLIkE PREPARATIONS.
Being Made by French Along German
FrOntier-WOrk Done In Secret.

London, May 16.-The latest issue
of Reynolds newspaper says that in
formation has been received from a
reliable source to the effect that
France is still steadily strengthening
her defences along the German 'front.'
Ter. During the past twelve months
or so many garrisons have been con-
siderably added to, and in some cases
almost doubled, while new guns of
long range and the most modern con-
struction have been installed in all the
principal forts. So secretly has this
been carried out that the vast majority
of people in France have no idea of it,
but the villagers along the frontiers
tell strange stories of strong bodies
OF armed men marching silently at
dead of night, all bound for unknown
destinations. The French war office
is we'll aware that in the archives of
the German headquarter staff there
are elaborate plans for the descent of
great armies upon French soil at the
moment war Is declared, or even be-
fore, but 1t is by no means certain,
concludes the correspondent, that they
would have anything like the free and
uninterrupted passage that they be-
lieve would be the case.

Mr.. President. it has been the custom

Since that time he has sought relief the

seeming little effect. Within the past
year, while at his home in Americas,
he has continued to improve and, from
an almost helpless invalid has regained
his former strength and vigor. His re-
covery has been remarkable and is a
source of qualification to host of
