KING GEORGE AND THE TRIPLE ENTENTE

THE SPEECH AT THE ELYSEE

CORDIAL RECEPTION BY THE

NEWSPAPERS

By Teloerapk—Pices Association—CopyrieM Paris; April 22. The newspapers say King George's si>eech at tho banquet at the Elysco expressed in tho clearest terms tho unshakable solidity of the Entente, ."which shall resist all tests in the eternal future. No nation can tako umbrago at its celebration, for tho Entente threatens nobody.'' Reuter's Paris correspondent says, with respect to Conversations between Sir Edward Grey and tho French Foreign Minister, that there lias been no question of any formal Anglo-French Agreement. Relations are already well and firmly established on the basis of cordial mutual understanding. Though no amplification of existing relations is a clearer definition mav bo expected. Doubtless tho Now Ttlebrides question will bo discussed. The King received M. Isvolsky (Russian Ambassador to Franco), and also deputations from the British community, and accepted from tho British colony Maisons Laffito a beautiful model of a racehorse ridden by a jockoy. The review at Vincenues was a brilliant success.

PRINCIPLES OF THE ENTENTE. Paris, April 22 v M. Clemenceau, statesman and writer, in his paper, "1/Hommc Libre," recognises the impossibility of an alliance between Franco and Britain at present. He says: "It will suffice if in the event of aggression on the part of tho Triplo Alliance each of tho three defensive Powers is in 8 position to make an effort corresponding to that of its two partners."
