seizure BY French oficiaIs OF deserters from the
French Foreign Legion while under the protec-

to-day. While not placing the blame definitely
on either France or Germany, the court censures

German Consulate at Casabianca wron sfuIly
endeavored TO bring about the ernbarkation
a German steamship Of deserters from the
French Foreign Legion who were not OF German
nationality, and adds that the consulate had no
right to protect even dsserters who were Of

Pataud'S DozcnfGU.
rEpsatal By French Cable to The rrtbuns.l


Paris. MAY 22-The Clemenceau Cabinet, by
very neat shot. has killed both the postal strike
and the general strike, but revolutionary syndi-
caIisnn IS so far merely scotched and stlL
threatens the cause Of law and order. NJ. Gle
rnenceau sees the danger Of resting on his pres
ent laurels but he deems it wiser to avoid vio-
lent measures, such as the dissolution Of the
General Federation Of Labor.
The Cabinet is doing its best, not only to re-
establish discipline in the Postal Department
but TO redress the genuine grievances of all civil
employees in regard to patronage and favoritism
in promotion. IN fact, the salient feature Of the
measure regulating the status Of civil servants,
submitted to-day for the signature Of President
Fauieres, is an effective safeguard against nep-
otism and against the personal reconnmenda-
tions Of Senators, Deputies or other influential
personages.
The new statute permits associations Of gov
eminent employees for the purposes of profes-
sional utility and mutual aid. Il also insures
rigid disciplinary measures, which may be en-
forced, according to the gravity of the ofrence
by the chiefs Of bureaus by the minister. upon
the advice of the Council of Discipline. or, in
cases Of dismissal or imprisonment, by special
administrative tribunals composed Of the higher
officials
This important statute seems TO satisfy the
government, the public and the civil servants
NJ. CIemenceau considers that by forcing the
hand Of the General Federation Of Labor, as he
did by compelling them at a most unfavorable
moment for their cause TO proclaim 4 general
strike, the government has crippled King" Pa
taud and the revolutionary leaders more than by
forcibly diss5Iving the confederation.
