FRANCE INSISTS !
til RM ANY MUST
FINISH WITH WAR
By HENRY WOOD
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
PARIS, August 1*—France is open
to the consideration of a peace im
posed by herself anil her Allies. None
other.
Within th« last three months or
,the last quarter of the first two years
of the war, France four times official
ly has said so.
A formal declaration by her presi
dent, a formal statement by her prime j
minister, a spontaneous outburst in j
her Chamber of Deputies ami a great j
manifestation by the French jieopte
themselves all have said this ami
France closed the second year id the
war with an absolutely solid front
for a peace for all time to come.
May 14 at Nancy, President Coin
caire delivered perhaps the most re
markable aiidress that ever e from
the lips of a French President. It
chrystallized the M*ntiments of the
French on peace.
**\Vo do not want our enemies to of
fer us peace," he declared, “but we
want them to demand it of us. W c do
not want to accept the conditions they
have to otFer; we want to impose on
them our own. We do not want a
peace that will leave Imperial Ger
many mistress to recommence the war
when she choose; we want a peace
based on restored right with serious
guarantees of equilibruim and stabil
ity. And until that peace is assured;
until our enemies recognize tTletn
selves defeated, we will never cease
to light."
The French press without a dissent
ing voice upheld these words. I rime
Minister Briand within a week pub
licly confirmed the position of M.
Poineaire as that of the French gov
ernment itself.
In refusing to accept the olive
branch of diplomacy as a means ot
settling the war France did not fear
that in diplomatic negotiations with
Germany she might be worst*' l. She
is willing to let her victor} in the
Agadir case stand as a witness to he*
diplomatic superiority. German re
fused in July and August of P*' 1 te
accept diplomacy to settle the u*ntro
versy. She insisted upon war ami
France insists that Germany must
finish with war.
Following these declarations there
came within a week a spontaneous
outburst in the French chamber as
still further affirmation that France
does not want even to discuss a ne
gotiable peace.
M. Raflfin-Dugens, socialist member.
had just returned from Kienthal,)
Switzerland, where in a private ca-1
parity he had attended the Second In-1
ternational Socialistic Conference to J
Bring About Peace. Arising, he de
manded the right to speak on “certain
discourses pronounced recently in the
name of France, some of which were
not calculated to bring about peace. |
The Two blocks of nations that have j
rushed at each other’s throats—”
He got no further. The Chamber i
to a man rose in a storm of protest,
li was long before President Deschan
el could make himself heard. “I am
astounded,” he finally managed to cry
out. “that any Frenchman could even
intimate that the provocation for the
present war did not come solely from
the side of Germany.” M. Knflin
Dugens apologized and the only
chance over offered to the I* tench
chamber to discuss peace was buried.
The people themselves followed
. within a week, with one of
those manifestations that mark
epochs in the life of nations. Ih fore
the present war France was not unit
ed on the question of preparedness, j |
•I
If a regiment of troops passed it was ,
certain someone would applaud and J
(
cry “Vive l ’armee;” and then some-1
one else would shout **\ive la I'aix. i
l
\oisy groups would form and riots ji
were likely to follow.
On June 1. in honor of her dead!'
General, tlallieni. Paris witnessed the
first great military display that has
taken place since the war began. As
cension day is one of the great na- 1
tional holidays of France. Represent
atives of Jill France lined the streets|
through which the funeral cortege'
[Kissed.
Ordinarily people do not applaud
at funerals. But the French, wilting
until the body of tlallieni had passed
applauded and cheered the troops rep
resenting every branch ot the French
army.
A quiet handclapping began at sigh* ,
of the troops. It grew louder and
more prolonged until it extended down|
the lines of thousands upon thousand!*
of people from the Invalides to the
Clare de Lyons. It continued until!
after there was not a soldier in sight, j
There was not one note of opposition.!
Among the thousands ot applauders ,
there were hundreds of women wear-1
ing small bunches of violets, women:
whose mourning garments showed j
they had lost a son, a father a biether j
i»r a sweetheart in the war. Many ot
them hail spent almost their last
money to purchase the emblematic
flowers.
The violets had been intended for;
tlallieni, but when the cortege began
moving, these women suddenly saw
broader and larger. They saw ir. the
death of tlallieni the mftn who had
merely saved Paris, while in thci
troops that followed "they saw what

is it’ by some sudden, subtle instinct
the hands raised to shower the violets

md the flowers fell instead on the
troops as they passed.
It was the final solemn manifesta
tion of the people of France that 'he
coice of their President, the voice ot
their Premier, the voice of their
Chamber of Deputies, had Lecn also
their voice and that France wants a
continuation of the war until the
peace that she and her Allies desire
can definitely be imposed.
