FRANCE’S WAR AIMS.
A Paris cable dated sth June stated that an Order of the Day, the outcome of a secret session of the Chamber of Deputies, declares that France expects from the war liberation of invaded territories, the return of Alsace-Lorraine, and just reparation for damage, apart, from any thought of conquest or subjection of foreign peoples. The order further considers that, the efforts of the Allied armies will breal down Prussian militarism and secure durable guarantees of peace and the independence of small and great peoples by the organisation of a society of nations. Only Socialists voted against the resolution. M. Ribot asked the Socialists to vote for the order to show the world that the manoeuvring which bad taken place to break up the unity of France had not succeeded. The vote in the Chamber of Deputies demanding reparation and the restoration of Al-sace-Lorraine was carried by 452 votes to 55.
