Won Kuehlmann's "Neuer"
Hos Historic Precedent

PARIS, Oct. 19.-Jules Cambon, Cen
eral Secretary to the Ministry Of For
eign Affairs, expressed surprise that
no French commentators had recalled
the historic "never" Of Premier Rouher
in connection with that uttered in the
German Reiehstag by Foreign Secretary
Won Kuehlmann. Fifty years ago NJ.
Rouher, a Prime Minister under the
French Empire, declared equally en-
phstically as Won Kuehlmann, NJ. Cam
bon said, that never would Rome cease
to belong to the Pope, and that never
would Rome be the capital Of the King
of Italy. The statement Of NJ. Rouher
justified the truth Of the French
proverb warning against using either
never" or always"
Secretary Won Kuehlmann's impru-
dent never" continued NJ. Cambon,
"was intended to encourage Germany.
1t reveals moral confusion in that coun-
try, to which also the troubles in the
German navy testify. Those troubles,
! so contrary 10 the disciplined German
/ spirit, are far greater than the same
symptoms would be in free democrscies.
