BRITAIN EXPLAINS DEFENSIVE PACT

BERLIN PRESS STILL MOANS

London, Jan. 17. Great Britain, has replied to the recent German inquiry regarding the nature of the technical arrangement for mutual assistance between France and Britain, under Paragraph Three of Artiola XVI of the Covenant of the League of Nations.

Peuter learns that the British Foreign Office replied to Berlin that the eastern. frontier of France was not mentioned in the discussions of the experts who drew up the defence plan a few weeks ago.

It was explained that the technical arrangement merely related to the present situation in the Mediter ranean, and would become alive only if Britain or France were attacked in that sphere.

At the same time the British note referred to the German press paign against the mutual assistance arrangement.-Renter,

Among his finest Indian tales are these of native life, full of atmos phere and romance. In his later years he lost belief in many things that he had been no sure of and his tone bo- came less harsh and arrogant. In 1924 he completed a stirring history of the Irish Guards in the war. It was written in memory of his son, one of seven officers of the 2nd, Battalion to be killed in the first 40 minutes of their first engagement. He was the only civilian invited to Buckinghen: Palace when the Guards were given
