T is understood that the train in which Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, will travel to Paris on Monday, in order to sign the Franco-German "no-war" declaration, will stop at Compiege. It was in a railway carriage near Compiege that the Armistice was signed in 1918.
At Compiege, Herr von Ribbentrop will change into a special train, and is expected to arrive at Gare des Invalides, Paris, at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. He will call on President Lebrun in the afternoon.
The German Foreign Minister's departure for Paris to sign the peace declaration comes as a climax to several weeks of Francophile propaganda in the press and over the radio and in the utterances of public men.
References to France on the subject of the general strike were so overwhelmingly and suddenly sympathetic as to arouse comment in diplomatic quarters here.
