[Telegram.—Extract.—Paraphrase.]

I am informed that the French Chargé d’Affaires here has received a telegram from his Government today stating that the Russian and Japanese Embassies at Paris have protested against the sixteenth article of the currency-reform contract, and ask the French Government to seek a revision of this article by the Chinese.
