History. Coming as a dramatic climax to the Increasingly alarming condition of French finances, the Socfalist govern- ment of Premier Herriot was unseated Friday evening after 10 months . in the saddle. The overthrow came when Herriot asked for and failed to receive a vote of confidence from the French Senate, and his opponents rode to victory behind former Premier Poin- care. " Had M. Herrlot received the vote of confidence, he would have at- tempted to put through his plan for a voluntary levy by the government of 10 per cent of the wealth of France as & means of extracting his govern- ment from the financial crisis to- ward which it steadily has been drift- Ing since the World War. President Doumergue, of France, has asked M. Herriot (o retain the premiership until he can select a new ministr: and this, us is customary, M. Herrfof has consented to do. The motlon of confidence was de- 1t was the third time in French parliamentry history that a government has been overthrown by & vote of the Senate Usually, it is the House of Deputies which brings about the change. The final vote came after nearly a week of high-strung debate in the French Senate over the financial policies of the Herriot government. During the debate Herrfot was charged with bringing about an inflation of the currency over the legal limits, and with accepting forelgn loans which assisted In bringing about the present serious condition. He defended his action and traced the slow economic filness of France down through the administrations which have held the reiens of power since the war. Herriot always, as have those who preceded him, claimed that France would pay her debts to this country when she could, but denfed that it possible now. The United States Government has maintained a sympa- thetic attitude throughout the strug- gles which have marked France's ef- fort at economic recovery, although there has not been, and none is likely, any intimation that there would be a change in this Government's policy that what has been loaned should be repaid. The attitude of the govern- ment which succeeds M. Herrlot's will, therefore, be watched with interest Replying to the Peruvian note pro- testing the award in the Tacna-Arica controversy, President Coolidge last week informed Peru that he regards on as “final and without ap- = said his award agreed with the terms of submission as signed by the two governments and also with the general yrinciples of international law. “Paths of Glory Lead—"' Karl Radek, former leader of the German Communist party and who is credited with having exercised an influence in the Bolshevik world second only to the deposed leader, Trotsky, seems destined to follow Troteky into po- litical oblivion, according to dis- patches last week from Moscow, which stated that he had been se- verely censored by the all-powerful central controlling power of the Com- munist party for his activities in stir- ring up factlonal troubles within the German, Communist party. He was threatened with dismissal from the Russian communist party. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg was nominated last week for President of the Germany Republic by the Na- tional-Conservat Bourgeois bloc, which selected him as their candidate, despite his age of 80 years, and over the protest of the general himself, who declared he was too old to un- dertake the gruelling campaign which he must make against former Chan- cellor Wilhelm Marx, the socialist, in the elections of April 26. The Most Rev. Dr. Tikhon, former patriarch of all Russia, at one time archbishop of New York and head of the Russian Church in America, and the center of a bitter religious con- troversy in Russia, aied last week in a private hospital of Moscow. When he came to Russia In 1917 and was enthroned as the head of the Russiun Church, he was considered a pro- gressive, but his activities against the Bolsheviks led to his abdication as patriarch. The Soviet announce- ment of his abdication, however, was contradicted by church authorities, who declared his resignation was im- possible under church laws. Later he was arrested and threatened with trial for his condemnation of the Soviet in its seizuxe and confiscation of church treasure. Later still, efforts to prosecute him were withdrawn by the Soviet, and the patriarch devoted the remainder of his life toward at- tempting a reconciliation between the Orthodox Church and the “Living Church” organized by the Formists. The League of Natlons conference for the control of international trafic in arms will open In Geneva next week. The United States is sending two delegates. Mexico and Russia are not expected to be represented, the former's hesitancy being traced to the failure of the peace confer- ence to invite her to join the league. The Saratoga, eixth of her name and the greatest of them all, was Jaunched at Camden, N. J., last week to take her place in the American Navy as perhaps the latest develop- ment in that strange type of modern war vessel, the alrplane carrier. Sne will carry 72 planes, 31 of which will be of the bombing type, the others to Le pursult planes. The ship cost $45.000,000. She has the most pow- erful motors on any ship in the world wnd her electrical equipment would furnish light for a city twice the size of Washington. The first Saratoga was built In 1780. She was a small vessel and took a prominent part in early naval engagements, although her fate is a naval mystery and it is supposed she foundered somewhere off the Middle Atlantic coast with all hands aboard. The second Saratoga was built dur- ing the war of 1812, the third w built in 1842 and served her country for many vears, the fourth is the armored cruiser Rochester, which was christened under the name of the Saratoga, and the fifth is the Genesee, an auxiliary naval craft which also, at one time, bore the name of the Saratoga. Secretary Wilbur spoke at the christening %exercises and Mrs. Wilbur christened the vessel, break- ing a bottle of mineral water over her steel bow. John Van Antwerp MacMurray, Assistant Secretary of State, last week was appointed Minister to China by President Coolidge, He succeeds Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, who was appointed smbassador to Germany recently. Mr. MacMurray is regarded at the State Department as an expert on China and the Orient. The League of Nations health and epidemic service was inaugurated last week, with mesages from the Far East of sporadic outbreaks of cholera in Indo-China. Eventually, bulletins will be broadcast every Friday of health conditions in various countries and ports, warning health officers when it becomes necessary to.take speclal precautions against spread of disease, and notifying ships at sea of borts quarantined because of disease.

Borings to establish the nature of the bed rock upon which supports will be placed to hold the great Memorial Bridge connecting the Lincoln Me- morial with the Arlington Natlonal Cemetery were begun last week. Upon the nature of the “samples” of rock brought up by borings will de- pend the bids for the construction of the bridge, expected to extend over u 10-year period. International law in territorial wa- ters, the question of double national- ity und of no nationality, « law to be applied to ships owned or managed by governments and the general question of extradition are the sub- jeets upon which the League of Na- tions commission of jurists, meeting In Geneva, has decided to begin work Immediately. The commission, upon which the United States is represent- ed by George W. Wickersham, form- er United States Attorney General, is seeking to codify and iron out the differences in international law, Geography. Another dash for the North which aircraft of the United Na will play an important rol. be undertaken this Summer by Donald B. McMillan, noted explorer, under the auspices of the Natlonal Geo- graphic Soclety. While it is not a government expedition, the vern- ment has taken interest enough to lend two of its amphibian planes— which can land on sea or land—with the necessary personnel of officers and enlisted men. The expedition, leaving Maine about the middle of June, will pass along the Labrador coast and Greenland, and through Davis Stralt, in an effort to establish a flying base at the northern point of Axel Heiburg, where the planes can take off in an attempt to explora the vast, unknown regions to the North which have baffled the efforts of other explorers. Pole, in Two other expeditions are heading for the pole via the air this Summer. One of them is headed by Raold Amundsen, famous Norwegian ex- plorer; the other by tir Algarsson, young British Columbian explorer. The latter expedition will make its dash for the pole in & small airship of the “blimp" type, capable of car- rying a crew of eighteen men, al- though ouly two will pilot her on this trip. A scheme to eolonize with Amer- icans portions of Bolivia, fostered by former Representative William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma, has fallen flat, according to two colonials, who returned flat broke board a ship from South America t week. Some time ago the Bo- livian government granted Mr. Mur- ray 192,000 acres of land in the in- terior to dispose of among American colonists. The two Americans, who returned last week, say thelr land, for which they paid 10 cents an acre, was either swampy or rocky, and after fruftless efforts to cuitivate it, they became ill with malarfa. They sold their land, by the way, for 60 cents an acre Economic. Two bright predictions concerning the future of American industry we made last week by two men w ought to know what they are talking about. Speaking in Pittsburgh, Sec- retary of Labor Davis predicted the coming of a day in the near future when employers and employes would consider it foolish not to sit down and adjust their labor troubles peac ably, and he recalled the progress which has been made in this direc- tion recently. At nother after-dinner speech in New York Charles M. Schwab, ohair an of the board oi the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, declared that the t 20 years will see the greatest industrial development ever known in America. *If 1 ad my choice to born again, 1 believe I would choose to be a young man today,” he said. Germany brought the total of her debts paid under the Dawes plan since beginning of its operation up to $145.000,000 by paying 595,000 marks during March. In line with the general plans for reorganization of the Government, Which have been delayed for nearly five years now, President Coolidge hus ordered a survey of the more than 40 independent Government commissions which grew up largely during the war. One of them fs the Employes’ Compensation Commission, which deals with compensation to be allowed field workers of the Govern- ment who are injured or become ill through their Government duties, Ofticlals are of the opinion that these Independent commissions either might be merged with othet Govern- ment departments or eliminated, and the work they do entrusted to exist- Ing institutions in the Government service, . Chicago's voters went to the polls Tuesday and defeated a plan for the municipal ownership and operation of ghe city's traction facilities. The plan. which was sponsored by Mayor William E. Dever, would have ex- tended over a period of 40 years and entailed an expenditure of $700,000,- 000. Opponents of the proposition de. clared the plan would saddle Chicago with a municipal problem involving mismanagement and politics, while proponents of the scheme cited the fact that Chicago's transportation tem is inadequate, that it would minate congestion in the downtown districts and that fares under it probably would be reduced. never has been any ques @bout the popularity of the. dellar bill, but the preference of the Ameri- can public for the paper money over the sflver “cartwheel” Ys a cause of Some WOITY on the part of the Treasury, which finds it a hard job to keep up the supply. One trouble is that the Bureau of Printing and Engraving is forced to print mil- lions of the bills every few months and place them In circulation fmme- diately without giving them time to “cure,” a practice which is preferred, as it gives the bills longer life. In an effort to switch popularity to the old siiver dollar the Treasury re. cently had thousands of them minted, but the public frowned on them and declined to change, - There Pointing to the “towering stature of our industrial structure as we see it today” as a vindleation of the policy of levylng a tariff on im- Dorts as a protection to American manufactures, President Coolidge ad- dressed a banquet of the National Cotton Manufacturers’ Assoclation last week. The banquet was the closing feature of the association’s convention here. The President, Jjustifying the tariff by its results, pointed to the policy of this coun- try which allows the world to come here and buy, on equal terms with Americans, American raw products. He contrasted this with the practice of some countries which discriminate agalnst foreign buyers. Treasury recelpts from March tax installments were $432,000,000, and this amoulnt came within half of 35" per cent of what the Treasury's experts figured it would be pe Mmmw wmonths agos Lhey, 1 STAR, AW SCHOOL PLANS SUMMER COURSES National University Expects to Give Extensive Choice of Studies.

Science. i The Cuban consul in Ottawa, Can- adu, told his switchboard operator to connect him with Havana last week In 15 minutes the connection was made and a new Canadlan record of long distance telephony was estab- lished. The call went through New York, Richmond, Va.; Jacksonville and Key West, Fla, and 90 miles under the sea to Havana. Six students of the University of Chicago stayed awake for 115 hours last week, to allow an expert of physiology of the university to make experiment on sleep and dreams, One of the results of the experiment was to show that the condition of sleep is much the same as that resulting from a severed spinal cord. During sleep the “critical” faculty of the brain is so cut off that the bite of an insect becomes the cut of a sword, while pain resulting from indiges- tion becomes the weight of a giant sitting on the stomach. Great mus- cular or nervous exertion prevents sleep, and sleep is not so essential as complete relaxation, it was found. Discoveries of chemists employed in color laboratories of the United States Department of Agriculture have freed the millions of cotton users in this country from the for- eign domination of fadeless dyes, it announced last week by an offi- cial of the American Chemical So- ciety.
