Paris. Aug. 5.-The first meeting OF
the French Parliament since the forma-

The German viewpoint is:

The German viewpoint is:
First-That Russia has been dealt a

Second-That England and France real

out of France and Belgium, as evidenced
by their inactivity while Germany con-
centrates against the Slavs.
Third-That the Dardanelles can never
be forced.
Fourth-that the Balkan situation is
