Herr Bassernlann then described Germany's

ing that she had no firm friends, not even Italy
or Austria
cbancelo- Won Bulovv. who during the speech
=, Herr Bassernann remained in his seat, eat
ing lozenges and taking notes, thereupon arose
and addressed the House with his oldtirne clear
ness n eIocvtion and harmonious succession Of
sentences but with less vivacity and liglltness
OF STYLE than formerly. The solemnity OF his
tone was possibly due 10 the delicacy of his po-
sition for ir 10 this speech that all his
friends looked for proof OF the Chancellor's COM
pleie recovery u his health. and they salts
hed especially with the second half OF his speech
with its frequent touches OF humor and occa-
sions Jokes The Chancellor's speech lasted
three-quarters Of an hour.
After thanking the members OF the House
Illness the Chancellor went at once into the
subject Referring first 70 the relations be-
tween Germany and France. he related a con-
Tersation which he had with the late Leon Gam
BETA in which the French statesman said:
France has sunk 10 her knees"
von BGlow IN reply said:
Up and forward"
The emotions q France. the Chancellor added
We're Ike a therTnometer-with a pressure OF
the hand the quicksilver rose or fell.
Z may remark here" he continued that the
vivacity Of French patriotism is very strong. as
is the ambition Of the French people. and also
the traditional brilliant qualities Of our neigh
bOs which require us 10 be alert and armed
20 that may protect the estate we lost on the
Tosges and won back again with streams Of
German blood"
FRENCHMEN NOT FOR WAR.
The Chancellor. continuing remarked:
, y hope and believe I can say, that we all,
without distinction Of party. Right and Left.
know that the number OF thoughtful French
ren who reject the idea OF a war Of aggres-
sion against Germany is Increasing"
Turning 10 the subject of French friendships.
the Chancellor said:
y wish 70 note with emphasis that DO not
think OF pressing in between France and Rus
sa, nor between France and Great Britain. II
is unthnkable that a disturbance OF the friend
snip between the Western powers should be
the object OF our open or secret exertions. The
spod relations between Germany and Russia
have not affected the Franco-Russian alliance.
and in the same manner the good relations ex-
Sting between Germany and Great Britain can
not De opposed 70 the cordial understanding be-
tween France and Great Britain when the pur-
poses OF that understanding are peaceful. An
understanding between the Western powers
Without the maintenance OF good relations with
Germany would constitute a danger TO Euro
psan peacs. A policy whose object would be to
enrrcle Germany by arrangements designed 20
isolste and disable us would be critical for the
peace OF Europe. The formation OF such a ring
impossible without using certain degree Of
Pressure and causing, IN turn. e counter press
Nv which would be followed shortly by an ex-
pioeon Therefore II IS especially pleasing to
zee IN the newspapers especially OF France,
oas e good understanding between Germany
sth Great Britain Is necessary for peace, and
therefore IN line with French interests"
DUTY TO HAVE FLEET.
