He re-affirmed -all the policies of the late government and said French soldiers ‘would remain in the Ruhr until France was paid. There was a lack of warmth with approval only in rare exceptions. Repeatedly the premier was inter- rupted with manifestations of mirth surprise or disappointment as the deputies compared his declarations with the personnel of the cabinet, which includes several opponents of the late ministry. “The same old policies, with the former adversaries of those policies in’ the saddle,” one interrupter ex- claimed, “The premier is all right as a statesman, but out of his element as ® politician,” another cried. Two deputies applauded M. Poincare when he entered the chamber, a few More approved his reaffirmation that French soldiers would remain in the Ruhr until’ France was paid, and there-was a rather sustained ef- fort_at a-manifestation by.the «mall Republican-Democratic group at the close, These were all the marks of encouragement the government re- ceived. At the premter’s request, interpel- lations on the declaration were post- poned pending passage of the em- ergency appropriations for the com- ing quartere. This was regarded as a boon to the government as, in the atmosphere of the chamber as it was this morning. the cabinet might have fallen victim to the indifference’ of the premier’s former majorit: which now is left to face the dis- sruntled tax payers in the elections without the promised official sup- port.

Declaration of the strike followed a futile demon- stration by the vendors yester- day. A score of restaurants special- izing in sea foods will be forced to close for the three day period since they will be unable to ob- tain supplies. The fish 1u0ngers deciared if the three day strike oes not alter the municipaiity’s intention to levy a tax, the strike will be continued indefinitely. Au- thorities are equally obdurate, so citizens face the prospect of sev- eral fishless days, The Motive Power On a train recently a friend of ‘Wm.

Mr. Wrigley replied that this train is running very smoothly and I certainly would not advise dropping the locomotive. Advertising is the power that sustains and maintains a business end leads it to greater heights. Running on momentum leads in the end to a dead stop. Coasting does not keep up the speed very long especially {f there are any hills to climb. The Tribune's advice to its ad- vertisers is to fix a goal to be reached with the. business and hitch on the advertising locomo- tive to reach it. ——____. L.
