FRENCH PAPERS CONDEMN AUSTRIAN NOTE AUSTRIA'S CHOSEN MOMENT. PARIS, 25th July. The Press generally condemns the Austrian Note. The Debats declares that should Servia be forced into war she will not appeal vainly for support to the Powers, who wish to maintain the balance of power at all costs. Most of the newspapers remark that Austria has chosen a moment when President Poincare and M. Viviani, Prime Minister, are absent; when Russia is involved in industrial turmoil, and Britain is involved in the Ulster trouble. President Poincare, who has visited Russia, and is taking Norway on his way back, has been requested by telegraph by the French Government to abandon his visit to Stockholm and hasten back to Paris.
