VIVIANT DEAD AFTER LONG ILINESS Former French Premier Broken by Death o His Wil Parls, Sept. 8 (A—Rene Viviani, former premier of France, and twice his country's representative on Im- portant missions to the United States, disd yesterday morning in the Malmaison sanatorium, where he had been a patient for the last two vears. Tue part which M. Viviani played in the relations of France in the| United States figures largely in the | tributes which the press today paid his memory. Trying to describe his | extraordinary powers of oratory, most of the papers give as an {llus- tration the effect he produced on American audiences, entirely ignor- ant of the ianguage he spoke, when | ne visited the United States with Marsbal Joffre in 1917 and when he ittended the Washington conference m 19021, Wife Died in 1922 M.

That was the date from which the former premfer's mind | began to fail, his friend writes “He was not a man of action,” M T.auzanne sums up, “but let us not maks the mistake of underialuing our men of words. If they do not aid poor humanity to mount the hill they at least light the road magni- | ficently.” con- | Born in Colony Rene Viviani, ex-premier of | I'rance and internationally famous lawyer and statesman, was the most | renowned of the public men given | to the French nation by her young ~olonies in Africa.

Practised Law He was graduated from the Uni- versity of Paris and immediately be. | gan the practice of law in Alglers but 1t was not long before his ambi- tions required a wider fleld, He {overeame many obstacles to 1ish himself in Paris, and many more hefore anyone knew he was there, {vet his rise was meteoric and he |fook high rank at the bar and dn lenviable niche in politics, His advanced views on soclal and religlous questions naturally drew him definitely Intn the socialist [ movement fust then heginning to grow rapidly in France, He saw the needs of the laboring and low salaried classes: he fought with them tor a readiustment of thelr social conditions: he won the confidence nf farmer and woodman voters in pie- turesque Auvergne; he hrought into | helng the old-age pension laws, then he hecame the first minister of lahor, and 1t was unon the shoulders of the workers he befriended in those ear- 1y days that he was carried to the high positions he afterward held in the molitical affairs of the republic. | His first election to the chamber |af deputies occurred in 1893, when he was gent from the department of ‘llw Seine, including Paris. He was re-alected fn 1897, but met defeat in Ivmfl_ when the nationalists swept 5. He devoted the next vears to the practice of his profes- although still continuinz fo |lead the socialist party, which was rapidly lesing strength because of a conflict hetween its two factions. Organized Soclalist Wing The {urning point of his career. however, came in 1004, when the internafional socfalist congress, un- der the influence of Behel, the Ger- man socialist leader, adopted a res i fow |sion the party. Viviani, with Aristide Briand and Alexandre Millerand, re fused to accept this decision and, 1ather than to compromise with the element of the hody, organized a scparate wing that ulfi- mately hecame the republican so- cialist party. Tts first success came 1in 1906, when 20 deputies, including Viviani, Briand and Millerand wer clected, Wise old Georges Clemenceau, upon becoming premier in October of the same year, In | estah- | «| President Poincare when olution demanding the unification of | chose Viviani to |« head the newly created departm of lahor, and there the workman's trlend accomplished wonders by finding common ground of under- standing between capltal and labor, and at a time, too, when the tolling classes wera dangerously astir, Briand, succeeding Millerand as premier in 1000, retained Viviani in office, but a difference arose between them as to the right of the state raflroad employes to strike, and Vi- viani retired. He returned to power, |however, four years later when he became minister of public instruc- tion in the cabinet of M. Doumergue Prime Minister fn 1014 The fateful year of 1014, which {ushered in the World war, saw Vivi- | ani with the reins of government in his own hands for the first time after the chamber had refused to | necept a cabinet formed by Alex- andre Ribot As prime minister in the most tre- | mendous crisls in French histor |since the revolution, Viviani imme- diately put finto effect the pacific [nolicies which had marked his po- litieal enreer from the first. He sec- fonded heartilys the efforts of Sir [Edward Grey to bring about media tion between the disinterested pow {ers and even invited the criticism of | his own people by withdrawing the French troops seven miles from the frontier in order to avoid incidents | Ithat might invoke war. | Viviani was in Petrograd the | with | Aus- nitimatum was delivered to | and immediately notified his | government to advise a conciliatory | attitude in the part of the challenged nation, trian Serbia, Came to America Tor more than a year he guided | the war cabinet and then consented to take a less active role as vice president in order to permit Rriand to organize the “sacred union” cab- inet, In whicl all political parties were represented, and all living ex premiers were included.
