POINGARE ACTIVE DESPITE HIS AGE French Premier Has Unparallel ¢ Energy and Intellect Parls, April 19 (UP)—Vigor come with old age if one can take Premier Raymond Poincare as a model. On the threshhold of his 70th birthday, when the cares of past and present national and in- ternational political worries should be weighing him down, he recent- Iy surprised even his admirers by speaking for three days, thunder- ing at his epponents in the Cham- ber of Deputies with the fire and fervor of a two-year-old. A speech such as this—it dealt with the Government's attitude to the Home Rule agitation in Alsace — would occupy probably 30 news- paper columns, or between twenty and thirty thousand words. Yei when the printers of the Official Journal came to set up the MS. they found cvery word had bebn written by the Prime Minister in his own handwriting. Not only had Poincare penned every line; he had memorized the speech from first word to last; and from the time lie arose in the tri- Lune of the Chamber on the first day until the concluding sentences three days later he hardly glanced at the pages before him. Recognized even by his bitterest opponents of the Left as one of the great men of the age, Raymond Poincare is at the same time an enigma of energy and intellcet to all, even those who know him best. Mokt other men would have taken #pecial training for an oratorical effort such as this, but Poincare carried on as usual, rising at six o'clock cach morning. helping to run his home, then lcaving for a hard day's work ~at the Ministry of Finance of which he is the head There, ever since he saved F by stabilizing the franc more than | two years ugo, e has had enough daily personal dutics to occupy half a dozen working overtime.

Corporation Counscl John H. Kirkham of New Britain, spoke along similar lines. Representative Thure Bengtson, New Britain member of the lower house who opposed the bill at yes- terday’s hearing, was pleased at the committec’s action, declaring it to be the only logical conclusion. Should Mayor Paonessa of New Britain, decide to appoint a commit- | tee to confer with Hartford officials, it was rumored about the State and once President of the Repub- lic, who has saved his country more than once from the brink of what seemed disaster can be scen buslly or a re-appointment every two years by the president.
