a year. Then at the end Of his seven
year term he Will return without saw

A total income during the term Of
Office Of nearly sl,7O0.OOO has given
opportunity TO previous French presi-
dents to lay aside a snug sum against
the time when they retire TO private
life, but even this COmmendable thrift
does not enter into the plans of the
new president Of the French republic.
NJ. Poincare expressed this deter
mination to be lavish in his expendi-
lures to a lawyer friend a few days
ago. His friend thought this was
rather unwise. and pointed out to the
president that his private means were
not large
