London, Jan, 3.
The text is published today of New Year telegrams exchanged between vang Geoige and President Lebrun.
In his message to the French President, His Majesty said: At the beginning of the New Year, which finds our nations so closely united in a renewed struggle against senseless eagression, I address to you my warmest best wishes for. your health and happiness, and for j the success of the French people in i efforts which they are making, together with their British Y. ior the defence of liberties, which to them are so dear.
"It is with the greatest confidence that I foresee the accomplishment of a joint victory, which will allow our respective countries to enjoy the blessings of a peace which will be untroubled by violent threats, repeated by those who showed so clearly their aversion for any peace with their neighbours other than that of subjection and oppression."
In reply, President Lebrunexpressed good wishes for the happiness of the King and Queen, and his wishes that the British people should share with the French during this year definite success, which they deserve by so many common sacrifices made for the most just of causes.—Reuter,
