FRANCE AND GERMANY
PARIS, July 11.
Senator Aimand, speaking at Rainey, revealed the reason why France avoided war with Germany in 1905. After the Kaiser’s surprise visit to Tangier, M. Delcasse proposed that the Cabinet should send a fleet to Tangier, but M. Berteaux (Minister of War) replied that there were only 600 rounds of ammunition per gun; which would be exhausted in 10 days. M. Delcasse resigned, and M. Berteaux, a few days later, demanded 14,000,000 francs to increase the artillery and strengthen the frontier.
