Germans to Show Disposition to Dis

patch to Paris From Geneva.

Paris, July 20.-A dispatch to the

cept for sufficient forces to maintain
compulsory peace by compulsory arbi-
traitor.
The German government, says the
Temps, while allowing the solution
of the international crisis to appear as
a success for the Pan-Germanists, has
in view a maneuver Of quite differ
ent aspect. The bellicose declarations
which resound will be nothing but the
prologue designed to represent Ger
many as invincible. Afterwards, soon
er than is expected will come the the
atrical initiative in which Germany
will show disposition to disarm."

departure came, however, the wom-

they underwent during their detention.
