Moreover, on ac- cuont of this same inexperience the malority deputies are highly suscep- tible to oratory and when Briand, with his old-fashioned stump style, explains theadvantages of his pol- icies, they allofv themselves to be charmed by his words. They realize that for ten months France has been Yielding on all sides the rights she won during the war. But these prob- lems are so complicated the majority cannot follow the details and after sporadic outbursts of protest, it soon relapses into resignation. This odd combination of. testiness at cne moment and resignation the next is the first thing that strikes one in the lobbies today. ‘The majority recognizes that u change is necessary but this same majority Is not resolv. cd to make it.

One is safety and the Or you might say that France has but one problem | —Germany. The chamber realizes that it s its vital duty to solve this problem, but thus far it has not dis- covered a method. That is why there is So much hesitation, embarrassment and pessimism in political circles. A leader is wanted who know.sl where he is going. (Cupyright, 1921.) _—— CUTS THROAT IN COURT. Italian Given Thirty-Year Sen- tence Commits Suicide. PALERMO, Sicily, September 4.— ‘When sentence of thirty years had ‘been pronounced upon him, the Ital- jan *“Bluebeard,” Gaetano Varrica, ‘aged forty-nine, arose in court and, with a dramatic gesture, addressed the jury, saying: “Gentlemen of the jury, this is my last crime.” Drawing a safety razor blade, he cut his throat.
