II developed, however that the total
amount Of Insurance which the two com

Prudential held 5000. The rest was
placed in the New York Life as follows:
5000 in 1897. $1,000 IN 1900 $1,000 in 1905
and $500 in 1911. The discovery that "A

[By Cable to The Tribune. ]


London, April 16.--Nothing could be
more eloquent OF the dangerous tension
of feeling between France and Ger
many than the extraordinary anti
French outburst in the German press
over the incident at Nancy on Sunday.
The insult to Germans by the Ere ch
students, regarded in France as a
drunken brawl, has provoked in Ger
many the sharpest burst of feeling
against France that has occurred for
years, even durin- the height OF the
Agadir crisis. German opinion was
never so inflamed, and there is little
doubt that the soreness in Germany
over the Luneville affair in connection
with the invol intary descent of the
Zeppelin airship has been aggravated
by the new incident at Nancy.
AS might or be expected, the two
versions of the affair differ materially.
The Frenc story is that three Ger
mans. accompanied by two ladies, were
among the audience at the Nancy
Casino. where French patriotic play
was being given. Some students maze
some remarks to them, and there was
Kissing from the gallery. The mani
festation was renewed at a cafe, and
when the Germans went away six stu
dents and fifty other persons followed
them to the station. jeering at them.
The German version is that the Ger
mans were subjected to a more thai
hostile demonstration. and that they
were molested. 1t says the ladies' as
well as the gentlemen, we're kicked
struck and spat upon. hallway ofncldis
