ALI But War on Frontier.

LONDON. Aug. 1.-Conditions are
 intensely critical along the Franco German frontier. A message from Paris today said that the French gov ernment believes that Germany is try. ing deliberately to provoke a clash by repeated petty acts of aggression.
 A force of German cavalry entered France this morning and was quickly withdrawn only to be followed by an, other force which destroyed railroad tracks near Pagny SurmoseI.
 French automobile parties on the German side of the frontier were de prived of their cars and wriyen into France on foot
 Four French locomotives were seized by Germans at Montrauxvieux.
 At Amanvillers Germans confscated French rolling stock on an internation- al railroad and forced the French railroad men to walk across the line into France. Telegraph lines were cut at the boundary.
 French and German military patrols are within sight of each other on eith- CT side of the frontier at many places, and the relations between them are growing momentarily more strained.

 Following this is another comedy, 'Her Fathers Choice" which, is equal ly funny.
