M. BRIAND'S TRIUMPH
ARMY IN RHINELAND
A SEDUCTION OF 5000
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON", 10th August. The Paris correspondent of the "Daily Express" states that M. Briand (Foreign Minister) achieved a, great personal triumph in bringing the Gov. ernment back to the spirit of the Locarno theory. Thero was a dramatic scene in tho Chamber of Deputies when,, after demolishing recent attacks against the Locarno policy, M. Briand pleaded for a more friendly attitude to Germany, and final)}- carried with him M. Poineare, the Premier, and M. Maun, Minister of Pensions, who is an ultraNationalist. It is understood that Cabinet has decided to reduce tho army in the Rhineland by at least 5000, and probably 10,000, immediately after the League Assembly in September.
