Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 11. An exchange of Armistice Day telegrams has been made between the King and the President of the French Republic. M. Lebrun, after expressing the feelings of comradeship and confidence of the French for the British people, said: "Side by side with many veterans of the Great War, the young men of France and the British Empire are once more lighting in defence of llte inalienable rights of mankind. The same ideal inspires and guides them. It gives them the strength necessary to pursue to its end this sacred struggle on which depends the establishment of order in Europe on the foundations of liberty, justice and security." Hallowed Bonds His Majesty replied recalling the fine collaboration of the French and British in the last war and said: “The bonds which unite the peoples of the British commonwealth and France in confidence and collaboration are hallowed and strengthened by these memories and by the common sacrifice now being so freely offered in the cause to which they are unshakeably committed.
“We have good reason to be assured that their united endeavour will be crowned with success and that Europe will be secured from brutal violence and from the constant threat of force and that peace will be established on a sure foundation of liberty and justice."
