 Paris, May o9-Pierre Paul Cambon former French ambassador to Lon don. died at his home here last night.
 Pierre Paul Cambon, eminent French statesman and diplomat won international fame in the early days of the present century for his efforts in behalf of the Anglo-French agree ment of April s. 1904. when the pow erfui and far reaching Entente Cor diale was born,
 Paul Cambon was one of tnrec brothers. all of whom were Conspic- uous in French diplomatic affairs at the same time. Jules cambon. later the best known Of the three, was ann bassador to Washington: Paul was ac- credited to London, and the third brother was in similar post at Con stantinople.
 Nj. Paul Cambon was born January %. 1stS. He was called to the Pari sian bar some % years later, and af- ter 10 years Of administrative work in various government departments, was transferred to the diplomatic service and appointed minister plenipotcn- tiary at Tunis. Tn 1886 he became French ambassador to Madrid, and two years later went to constantinoplo in the same capacity. In 1928 he pre- sented his credentials as ambassador to the Court Of St. James.
 He. was still in London when, six years later. the relations between England and France had reached a critical stag over the f'asheoda incl dent in Egypt.
 King FIn. rd NlI working care fully and secretly, had launched his program to rcadjust Europes equili- hrium, and bring England, France and Russia together ss means of off setting the powerful trirle alliance, between Germany, Austria and Italy. The late Theorhile De.ca,se repre- sented France in the treaty neSotia tions while tho British interests were looked after by Lord I.ansdowne.
 Paul Cambon acted as intermediary during the negotiations, and il vas largely through him that the many difficulties were ironed out, The an norncsment that an agreement had been reached came suddenly late in ieot. and asiounded tha entire word.
 The. basis of the treaty provided for tho Ftench surrender to England Of certain long standing rights in Egypt i while England conceded that France occupied privileged position in Morocco. Aside from settling those cardinal points. the treaty also wound up many other matters of controversy between the two nations The trcatr was hailed as the "Eni enie Corliale," or the vehicle by which France and England were brought back together into close political alliance. Hardly less important to Europe was tho fact that Russia came indirectly into the agreement through her previously cx- ising alliance with France. hence King Edwards original purpose Of uniting the three countries through such s treaty was rccomplishcd.
 NJ. Camhon negotiated and signed the fnal draft after Dc,cassc and Lansdowne had agreed upon the cs- sental terms. While its importance was moi undcros' 'imnitd egcn at that time, there were perhaps rune who foresaw the tremendous riTccf tls en- tente coddials would hHve in years later when Inc Word war swspt over Europe.
