Excitement Intense
So intense is the excitement in Paris

evitable. AS a matter of fact every
thing hinges on the man Presiden- FaI-
Heres calls upon to form the new Cabi-
net, and a serious situation is not be-
yond conception.
Both Monarchists and radical Social

tunity to effect a coup d'etat, but it
is the general impression that Presi-
dent FaIlieres will successfully bridge
the present break.
II IS a question which IS the greater,
the surprise at the suddenness Of
Clemenceau's downfall or the Joy at his
retirement. His unhorsing came solely
through the schoolbOyish anger of the
deputies who smarting under his re-
marks. slaughtered their friends and

hated Clemenceau for individual griey-
ances and feared him in common be-
cause of his remarkable success in the
adoption of American boss rule tactics.
It is doubtful if the fall Of a French
ministry was ever hailed with more
popular joy.
Remarkable Feature.
The remarkable feature OF the situa-
fan OF the minister came at a time
when, under normal conditions, the vote
OF the deputies was safely cOrralled and
Just at a moment when, despite the
generally recognized ineniciency and
rottenness OF the French minister Of

tated the storm.

feat for the government or its policies.
CIeusnceau declared he believed the

and that the present policy of the min

the measure viii pass that body in the
shape demanded by the President.
On Sunday, in the seclusiOn Of intel
lectual Massachusetts,, the Senator
heard that trouble was brewing in the
ranks of the Grand Old Party. Monday
morning. without ostentatiOn. without
the accompaniment Of a brass band
and without words, Mr.. Crane stepped
out OF a taxicab in front Of the
White House-and his work had
begun. With sleeves rolled above the
elbow, he was on the job Of lining up
the Senate for the Presidents policy Of
free raw materials. He had called
merely to notify the Chief Executive
that the work was aboutsto begin
Since then Mr.. Crane. the man who
has perfect command Of the whisper
has been at work. and this afternoon
he reclines on the noiseless couch Of his
silent office, happy in the belief that he
has arranged things to the satisfaction
of the Senate. to the satisfaction OF The
President, and to the satisfaction OF Mr.
Crane.
