Berlin, July 15.
Reciprocal gestures of friendship, proving the desire for good-will between France and Germany, were cited yesterday by M. Andre Francois-Poncet, French Ambassador to Germany, when he received the French colony in the German capital for the celebration of July 14, the national independence day.
The Ambassador regretted the violence of the campaigns of the German press on the occasion of certain incidents, notably when suspension of control along the Pyrenean borders was announced, "Violence and an excess of passion which knows no moderation are not signs of strength," he declared.—Havas,
