CLOSE THE RANKS
ADVICE FOR THE ALLIES.
FRENCH PRESS COMMENT.
(The Times). (Received 9.55 a.m.) London, May 7
The Paris correspondent say.*: The Journal Des Debats, commenting on the German elections, calls ( Germany to say exactly what she means to do. Then the Allies will know exactly what action to take. Le Figaro expresses the opinion that Germany seems ripe for either a monarchical or proletarian dictatorship. In either case, it is the duty of the Allies to close their ranks.
La Victoire declares: "If we had not occupied the Rhineland and the Ruhr, we should not have had long to wait for a return of the Hohenzollerns."
It is generally assumed that the effect of the elections will be to strengthen M. Poincare's position. Germany is now considered to be showing her true character. "We now," says I,'lntransigeant, "have, at last proof that we are only half way on the road, and that there is still a long trudge before us. We shall get there, because France clearly perceives Where her duty lies. She doc 3 not wish to embark on adventures, but at the same time does not believe in changing her direction."
