GERMAN PROTEST

"A BLOW AT LOCARNO."

ANGLO-FRENCH MANOEUVRES.

(UNITED press ASSOCIATION—Br ELXCTBIC TELSGRAPH—COPTBIOHT.) (Received August 13tli, 7.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 12. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says that the news that a British regiment is participating in French cavalry manoauvres in the occupied area has startled German opinion. " v "It may be true that the British Army of Occupation acted only according to military tenets," says the "frankfurter Zeitung," "but the Government in London ought to have understood that such cooperation between British and French troops on German soil cannot fail to have political reactions."

The "Voasische Zeitung" says: "It is incomprehensible that neither Paris nor London recognises the enormity of this action. It is a blow at the policy of Locarno, and makes a mock of the solemnity with which the nations intend to surround the signing of the Anti-War Pact at Paris. They ought to understand that so long as Allied generals in' the Rhineland are permitted a double-cross policy, there can be no idea of a mutual understanding.— Australian Press Association, United Service.

[A recent cablegram reported that the Bth King'B Eoyal Irish Hussars, the only British cavalry regiment serving in the Ehineland, would participate in the coming manoeuvres of the Fronch Army of Occupation.]
