Paris, November 4.- Special. 1.-The greatest danger to the present govern ment which has suddenly discovered that a strong public opinion exists in France, still turks in the Morocco question, for as the days pass by 1t becomes more and more evident that the people of France are tired of being ruled by pro- fessional politicians. want their own will respected.
 This was shown by events subsequent 10 the resignation of M. Briand That statesman failed to find his majority in the Chamber because of his conciiatory attitude on the Church question. It seemed that the incoming premier, M. Monis. would have to yield to the free thinking and ant-clerical influence and recommend persecution. Not bit of 1t. The country declared it had enough of Combism. The excellent if undisting- uished Monis had to continue the Briand programme, whether he wished to draw sword against Rome or not.
 In the same way M. Cailaux has to bend to the popular will. The danger for him lies In the fact that the government Is pledged to territorial possession and rannot withdraw. The section of the radicals in denouncing any arrangement giving the Germans access to the Bel gian state is source of embarrassment for there are many who consider that the Caillaux administration is not long for this world. One may hope it is not true. nven if we were to have the brilliant NJ. Clemenceaux back in office, as 1t is like 1y enough in the event of a change.
 AnV ROVprnn1ant reverse fbaf broito o1,t about the retirement of NJ. DeIcasse would be a calamity. That admirable statesman has exhibited a strength and fearless integrity in office that are, alas, too rare. If patriotism instead of politics prevailed in the formation of cabinets, the great little man. who laid the Foundations of the Entente would be permanently maintained by a grateful country to maintain It's navy.
 Hotels in Paris form chains. The Lou vre and Grillon are connected the Grand Meurice and Terminus are also, I believe under one central management. Doubt less the coalition is inspired by the fear that some American hustler will plant in the business part of the town a great caravansary, conducted on New York principles. In anticipation Of this coup the native hotels consolidate, form trusts and extend themselves. Hotel property is favorite form of investment with the big shops, as witness "Lutetia" run by the Bon Marche as well as the above quoted Louvre and Crillon, belonging to the Grande Magazine du Louvre.
 mayor in one of the suburban towns is given to grandioquence. At a prize distribution the other day he spoke of the virtues symbolized by the flag.
 "Ah, mademoiselles, he cried, for he was addressing a girls school this proud national emblem, let us hold it high. Its three colors represent the fln- est human qualities. The white symbol izes loyalty, integrity, purity; the red, force, courage, virility and the blue-' His glowing periods came to q sudden ytop. For the life of him he could not remember what the blue did represent. And so he continued with an expressive gesture. ''fhe blue, Mademoiselles, the blue-eh. bien-if it had been green it would have signified hope"
 Hitherto those officers and non-com- missioned officers who have taken up aviation and have worked hard in the establishment of the fourth line of de- fense, have been poorly paid for their services. They have received something like 30 cents a day and $1 for every hour of flight. Thus when Captain Bellenger flew from Paris to Pau he received s6.25 for his performances.
 This is a miserable recompense. The champions of the army aviator in the press suggested that they should receive double pay and that each year of service should be counted as a year of cam paign. The suggestion has commended Itself to the war minister. The devption Snd the heroism of the aviators are to be more arequately recognized Army avia- tors will be allowed to count the time they have served in aeroplanes as if they had fought in a campaign. The officers will receive S3.15 q day and the non-com- missioned officers $1.10.
 The Matin, which has taken tho lead In securing this recognition of the sere vices which the military aviators have rendered the country, congratulates tho War Minister on this measure of justice. It is not doubted that this improved treatment will contribute to the pros- perity of the 'birds of war
 Great excitement was caused at the ronservatoire yesterday when it became known that the names of thirty students had been removed from the roll of those entitled to attend classes. The authori- ties were not long in explaining why this drastic astion had been taken. The rules of the Conservatore provide that each student who misses more than the first two lessons of the term will not be able to make further attendances.
 The explanation of the students struck off the roll is that they had either pro- longed their summer vacation or that they had been i'll. M. Dujardin Beaumetz, the Under Secretary of State, went over the list and struck off the names of those who had not met in the attendances which the rules provide.
 M. Dujardin Beaumetz proposes to take another rigorous course. When students put in certificates showing that they have been sick ne will have them veri- fled. The action of the conservative au- thorities came as a thunderbolt to the students and created quite an uproar. The directors, however are confident that tl1e steps they have taken will have a salutary effect on the remaining stu dents.
