work on several covies was practically
without fault.

international News Service.

BERLIN. Jan. 1.-THE selection of
Raymond Poincare to form . new
French cabinet and direct Frances
future policies was declared by Ger.
man officials today to be the worst
blow that Germany has received since
the treaty Of Versailles was signed.
The pessimism that was already felt
m German official circles over the H.
ture treatment Of Germany by the al.
lies has been intensified to the blackest
gloom by the result Of the Cannes
conference of the supreme council.
The German public generally regard
Poincare as the bitterest hater of Ger.
many in France.
1t Is an open secret that allied con.
troll Of German finances Is anticipated
as the first step In M. Poincare's pol.
icy for the complete subjugation OF
Germany.
Naturalization of the Rhine zone Is
believed to be the next step.
The only ray Of hope has been the
possibility of British opposition to a
French policy of annihilation. Nov
this source of hope. II is said, has been
obscured by the proposed Anglo.
French treaty Of alliance.
