- PARIS, April 15. A Havas messages. states --- "San-Remo must see the end of German mülltarism." This phrase sums up French public opinion. This sentiment is crystallised in the entire French press. It is felt in Paris that the Junkers are now making a desperate bid for power and in fact I would cause no surprise if the pest few days were to see in Germany another monarchist, militarist coup like that attempted by Kapp. The importance attached by M. Millerand to the discussion of Germany's military power and its reduction to such limits that France need no longer fear for the "safety of her Rhine frontier, is shown by the fact that Marshal Foch and his Chief of Staff are ta company the French Premier to San-Remo to-morrow evening. Mr. Bonar Law, Lord Curzon and Mr. Venizelos, the Greek Premier, will also accompany M. Millerand from Paris.
