But It's Some Warmer Today.

Detroit was the coolest place in
Michigan, Wednesday night, when the
mercury dipped 10 degrees above
zero at 1880 o'clock. Even the wind
swept pine barrens OF the north were
not as cold as Detroits ice-coated
streets
The temperature moderated slight

had reached degrees, but the differ
ence was hardly noticeable. Punched
faces and nipped ears were as much
in evidence as ever. and on Wood
ward-ave., smokers who ordinarily
pass up the pay-enter cars To stand
on the rear platform OF the regulation
type of ear hailed the new style with
open arms.
The mercury will rise slowly during
the day, Weather Observer CongeI
promises. II may get as high as 10
degrees. but will settle back to the old
stride by iightfall There is no real
relief in sight until Saturday. when
Mr.. Conger looks for fairly moderate
weather once more.
The sun came out at intervals Thurs
day morning. which helped some, but

THE PROSPECT IN FRANCE.

France probably has a stormy pc riod ahead of it, precipitated by the unaccountable folly of Clemenceau, though the cause of it's future trou- bles lies farther back. It is no won der that the chamber turned against him when he taunted Delcasse with his overthrow following the Algeciras conference. The taunt brought into still stronger light a statesman who had recently emerged from a tenn porary political oblivion, his punish ment for opposing the German posi- tiOn in Morocco at that famous con ference in 1905. He was sacrificed by the Rouvier ministry in order that peace might be kept with Frances hereditary enemy.
 The Paris dispatch of Wednesday morning describing the sudden fall of the CIemenceau cabinet erred in the statement that Delcasse was al ways the adversary of the premier. There was a notable exception early in last year when Delcasse sprang to his feet in the chamber and replying to an attack upon the administration, electrified all Europe in a review of the attitude of the country toward Germany, in which he went over the course of that country at Algeciras
 DeIcasse was accepted in Germany as the mouthpiece of the French peo- pie and he had really become so after his brief martyrdom. In these cir cumstances the premier could have uttered no other taunt which would have recoiled upon him with so fatal effect.
 Thus a strong ministry fell at the very moment when a strong govern ment was most needed. There has been steadily rising against it, social ism, militarism, the royalist sentiment, the labor sentiment and more dan gerous than all. the popular resent ment against Separation" which was in the nature of a suppression of the church.
 Separation" was not enacted in re- sponse to a popular demand that the church should be humbled. There was back of it only a spirit of infidelity | which had it's beginning in the ex- cesses of the nobility and the church | during the eighteenth century. France | is still a Catholic country and per haps always will be in spite of leg | islation. Only a strong government | could have enforced the law. It may | be expected that the movement for | the restoration of the church will be | the strongest against which the new | There will naturally combine with it all other movements seeking either | the overthrow of the republic or es sential changes in the present order of things.
 It is intimated in the dispatches of yesterday that the financial inter- ests find cause for qualification in the existing situation. That alone may preserve the country, for never before in the storms which have overswept | France has the nation had such an anchor. For that matter, never be- fore in the history of the world has finance had such an influence for preserving peace and preventing vio- lent and destructive change.
