FRENCH PRESS ROUSED AGAIN.

PARIS, May 19.

The quieter tone of the French press mentioned yesterday disappeared to-day in view of Mr. Lloyd George's statement which is regarded as: aggravating the effects of his speech in the House of Commons. His reference to foreign press opinions is disputed, the papers declaring that the whole of the American press, with the exception of the pro-Geiman organs, approved M. Briand's attitude, while the important Italian newspapers mostly approved, the French viewpoint. The Petit Parisien says that Mr. Lloyd George has deeply wounded French sentiment. France is entitled to consideration when the security of her soldiers is affected. She only wants simple justice, namely that the country essentially Polish be restored to Poland. The Petit Journal referring to the passage the future of the world will be determined by aid- or new friendships" refuses to believe that Mr. Lloyd George threatens France with a possible alliance with Germany and declares that if he forgets the 600,000 British soldiers buried in France, the British people will not forget it. The Matin declines to make Britain responsible for the language of her Fremier and says that he is entitled not to share French opinion as regards Silesiz
