PARIS, April 5. French official
circles are well pleased over the
American government's declaration
concerning Germany's war responsi
bility . Such a declaration was anti-
pated, but the French felt that the
American view could not have been
more closely expressed.
The French government also was
highly satisfied lover the recjeption
given M. Viviani in the United States.
The Pet't Parisien, in commenting
on the American statement declared:
"The United States gives u? strong
proof of its good will."
The Temps says:
"The American reply does not sur
prise us, but it pleases us deeply. We
hope the voice of the United States
will find other occasions to make it
self heard in settling war questions."
"One cannot overestimate the im
portance of the declaration, said the
Journal Des Debats. It strikies a
deadening blow to the hopes and
propaganda of Germany in the United
States." .
"The new American government
shows an excellent disposition toward
us. It is marvelous to see how Ger
many never ceases being mistaken
about Americans," declared s La
Liberte.

Three of the men flinched under the
blows, but no blood was drawn. The
fourth man "took his medicine" with

Unusual interest had been aroused
by the lashings because of the dis

whipping post as a crime deterrent.
