PARIS. August I'm. Waldeck-Rous-
seau conferred several times during the
day with NJ. Lepine the Project of Police,
and. in consideration of the fact that
recourse TO force in the arrest of NJ
Guerin might lead to a useless sacrifice Of
life. entailing still graver demonstrations
at the obsequies OF the victims, the Pre-
mier decided not TO expose the life Of any
man. soldier. policeman. or fireman, but
TO leave NJ. Guerin a choice between self
imprisonment and arrest.
Meanwhile II looks as though this az
fair would have a rather tame ending.
The friends Of NJ. Guerin are busying
themselves TO rescue him from an impos-
sible and foolish position. NJ. Stevens,
son OF the well-known artist, obtained
from the government permit TO enter
NJ. Guern's house and advise him TO sur
render at discretion. assuring him that
no one doubted his courage, but that he
ought not to compromise his friends and
he the cause of placing human life at
stake

that further resistance was vain and dan
gerous. At about half-past 10 NJ. Lasies
went 20 see NJ. Waldeck Rousseau. In
the Premier's absence he was received by
his chief Of Cabinet. In the course or an
interview afterward ~ Lasies denied that
he was I'm charge Of any negotiations or
represented either side. He said he was
simply acting on his own responsibility
because he was anxious to avoid strife.
