Outlining the program of International intrigues which France has instituted since the close of the World war, Mr. Rees spoke before the first session of the Wayne county teachers' institute held at the Chautauqua Monday morning. His subject . for the morning was "France and her policies." "At the present time," said Mr. Rees, "France is the party to four conilicts in Europe. France is engaged in a conflict on the armament question; France is against English policies in the near east; France is against Germany and is against Russia." He stated that since the war there had been much "shedding of ink" both . by the public press and the diplomats of Europe, who have been signing treaties secret and otherwise. "France, in her intriguing policies, is responsible for the major portion of the warfare now going on in Europe. Her aversion to disarmament already has caused mistrust on the part of America and until her policies are changed, America will do well not to
form any alliance witn trance, sDeaker declared.
Wants Europe Divided. ' France wants a minute division of Europe so that she can make treaties with them and through these agreements dominate and control their commercial and natural resources. This she proposes to do under the guise of protection with armed force, and that is whv she is opposed to disarmament." sa?4 Mr. Rees. "Her refusal to sign disarmament treaties with Germany and Russia ha3 brought on the Russo-German alliance and this alliance has been broadcasted to the civJiized world as detrimental to world peace."

Railroad officials said the Michigan
