~ "ihl'uil IoSdTuIfR tMe present CRISIS, Dub
If passed Temporarily his remaining life will
be precariots and the end sud en- at any time.
Berlin adVices state that Herr Won Jagow,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, has Informed
the Reichstag that the German Ambassador
to France had been instructed to ask for
an investigation regarding insults offered
to Germans at Nancy, and also to make
representations regarding the inadequate
protection of Germans in France. He
thought the matter highly regrettable, if
the unofficial reports were verified.
The French newspapers say that five Ger
MANS, men and women, with no officers
among them, while attending the Casino at
Nancy, We're insulted by students, who fol-
lowed them from the Casino, to q restaurant
and thence to the railway station, and wait
ed until their train departed. The press
regret the incident, but think it %incompre-
hensible that Herr Won Jagow should speak
as he did, without receiving official contir-
NATION of the reports, Or awaiting Frances
attitude. The Minister of the Interior has
ordered an investigation.
German accounts assert that their coun-
trymen were forced to kneeI and salute
French officers, while French accounts say
it was merely q students prank. A similar
incident has occurred at Grenoble, where
actors III German uniform were Kissed. The
French and German press are more bitter
than during the Agadir incident. Patriotic
plays are being presented on the French
side of the Alsace Lorraine frontier, and the
Germans are irritated by the recent dirigi-
BILE incident at Luneville. The atmosphere
is electric, aud any trivial incident may
prove to be the spark.
A later despatch from Las Palmas states
chat Mr. pcool,or3. LolIoon o,,,4;ol -, 80.
through a defective valve, and has thus de-
layed his departure.
Advices from Brussels state that the strike
IS growing stronger, and the officials admit
1T exceeds their estimates. There have only
been miner and sporadic disorders.
The Powers have raised the blockade of
the Montenegrin coast, and a truce has been
arranged along the Hchataldia lines for the
burial of the dead.
