Paris, May 11.
'HE confidence of France, though she was faced with a "future which is still uncertain," was emphasized by M. Albert Lebrun today in a message to the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate on the occasion of the opening of his second term as President.
"France," he said, "intends to pursue, in tranquility, her work of social progress at home, but no one must doubt her unshakeable determination to support her rights, with force if necessary.

"The cause for France's confidence," concluded the President, *Jies, above all, in the feeling that she is strong in her land, sea and air armies."—Reuter.
