STRAIGHT WARNING TO GERMANY. NO HALF MEASURES TOLERATED. ily dal.-d—Brass Assoalatioa —Copyright (Received 8 p.iu., Juno 16.) Lu-NDUN, June 15. The Paris correspondent of “Xho Times” says: iVi. iaerriot told, the Pans correspondents that the appointment of General Nollet, as Minister of War, was a plain warning to those beyond the Rhine who dreamed of revenge, and that military control must be continued rigorously and effective!}. Germany, he declared, was engaged in carrying out the same operation she did after the Peace of Tilsit iu 1806. She was giving tho whole of lici young men military instruction on a large scale, by all sorts of means, especially by the so-called gymnastic* associations. His Government would be disposed to follow a conciliatory policy towards Germany, but .everything depended on Germany, who must prevent the Nationalists carrying on their propaganda. The present system must be altered. If bis Government could not obtain satisfaction, it would deal in tbe firmest possible way with the German reactionaries. This was the only wav to safeguard tbe rights, not only of France, but of tbe democracy of the whole world. M. Herriot emphasised that General Nollet knew better than anyone else tbe present military position in Germany.
