A RUPTURE POSSIBLE. LONDON, Aug. 7 'I lie “Daily Chronicle’s” Paris corre- *;> mlent states since the Armistice, Britain and France have been divided politically, the divergence over Upper I S'lesia being the final crisis.. It is doubtful if the Entente and Alliance which won the war shall exist a week hence. French extremists, who are in a majority, say smash Germany, and all will be well. The British say smash Germany and there will be a universal catastrophe. By taking Alsace-Lor-raine from Germany it was made certain there will be war in the future. Hon Lloyd George is a true friend France and a true guardian of British interests, in opposing French madness and offering Germany the same dangerous reason.
