PREPARATIONS RUMOURS
Paris, To-day.
Diplomatic and political circles here have declined to put too much faith in the reports of Ger- many's preparations for war, but Reuter has been authoritatively informed that instructions have been sent to the French delegates aboard to check closely all such reports.
Paris is aware that manoeuvres on a vast scale are shortly to be held in Germany, but responsible quarters describe as "exaggerated" the reports that they amount to almost a mobilisation and that 1,300,000 troops are involved.
The publication of alarmist statements is also deprecated.
