LONDON, 10th May,
The Paris correspondent of "The Times" stakes: "That a new European crisit has been caused by the French precipitanoy in replying to Germany is certain. The consequences of the blow to the Entente are far more serious than any previous division between Franco and Britain. The parting of the way* in January was cordial; to-day Anglo-French friendship has sustained a, more severe trial—there is unfriendliness in this parting. The British pronouncement in Parliament has caused consternation in Paris, which did not :Lnticipate that Britain would stand bo firmly on a matter of principle as well as of diplomatic etiquette. "Never before was the. Entente so •nenaced. The visit of King George and jueen Mary to Italy emphasises the isoiation of France, and Lord Curzon's oublicly - expressed resentment of France's lack of consideration for British views has seriously perturbed the country."
