and held brief consultation. They
then proceeded to the Elysee Palace
and handed their designations to Pres
ident Poincare. The President ac-
cepted the designations but requested
the Ministers to continue to transact
current business until their successors
had been found.
A Cabinet crisis in the present situa-
tion in Europe is considered bad
enough, but it is pointed out that the
crisis precipitated by the Senate is
graver still, for it is a crisis not of the
ministry only, but of French parlia-
mentary regime and it is added that
any ministry failing to place proper
tional representation at the head of
the program would be Immediately
turned out by the Chamber.
The only solution seemingly open is
for President Poincare to dissolve the
Chamber, but as any election woult
be made on the question of proper
tional representation the new cham
/ ber would be just as much at odds will
the Senate as ever.

RESIGNATION OF
BRAND CABINET
CAUSES IMMENSE SENSATION
THROUGHOUT FRANcE-6RIL-
LIANT PREMIER DEFEATED
fBr Associated Press.l

Paris, March 19.-The defeat of the
French government in the Senate yes
terday on the question of proportional
representation and the subsequent
resignation of the BRAND Cabinet,
have caused an immense sensation
throughout France. Almost the entire
press of the country expresses praise
of Brands work.
Deaf to the eloquent argument OF
the French Premier, Aristide BRAND,
embodied in what is pronounced the
finest speech of his career, the Senate
last night overthrow the government
on the question of proportional repre-
sentation. The Chamber of Deputies
already had passed this measure by a
vote of S39 to pit and practically the
whole country has been clamoring foI
the political Encouragement provided
by this bill.
After the Senate, by a vote of 16l
to 12S, had adopted the amendment
introduced by Senator Paul lie Pete
trail, a Republican Liberal, which pro
posed that the majority should re

SMALL COST
TO STUDENTS
AVERAGE EXPENSE OF EACH AT
TENDANT AT NORMAL HAS
BEEN $9.11 PER MONTH.

At the end of the first scholastic
month at the Mississippi Normal Col
lege, when the announcement was
made in The News that the expense
to each student at the college was
only $7.05 for board, lights, heat and
service, the figures were regarded as
incredible by many and there arose
among the economically disposed
housewives in Hattiesburg a desire to
learn both the bill of fare and the Sc
cret of administration which made
such a result possible.
During the first month there was
but little expense for heat and min.
imum use of lights, while the "break'
age" charge was found to be too low
hence the subsequent months showed
an increase over the first month
But the average expense to each pu
pill at the college for the first si1
months has been just SSH for the stu
dents in the dormatories, while the
students in the industrial home, hav
ing done their own work, get through
the month at a cost of $3.50 each.
In view of the cry of the high cos
of living, a study of this showing made
by the Normal College is worth con
sidering.
1t certainly seems to suggest won
derful possibilities in popularizing th
Normal College as place to get al
/ education at minimum cost.

BY INDICATED RETIREMENT or
AMERICAN BANKERS FROM
PROPOSED CHINESE LOAN.
ATTITUDE OF ADMINISTRATION
Is Shown In Statement Issued by Pres

Participation on Account of ImpIica-
tions of Responsibility involved.
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, March 19.-The indicated re-
tirement of American bankers from
participation in the Chinese loan Gre
ated CONSERVATION today among
leaders of both of the inter-
ested group of German bankers.
The fear was expressed that
the whole operation will fail. 1t was
asserted, however, that the Germans
will continue negotiations in spite of
the action of Americans.

Washington, March 19.-President
Wilson last night in a statement ap-
proved by his Cabinet after two hours
of discussion, announced that his adj
ministration had declined to request
the group of American bankers to con-
tinue their negotiations for participa-
tion in the $125, 100000 loan desired by
the Chinese government.
The statement follows:
'We are informed that at the re-
quest of the last administration a GER
tain group of American bankers UNI
/ dertook to participate in the loan now.
desired by the government of China
approximately 25,OO0,OO0). Our
government wished American bankers
to participate along with the bankers
of other nations because it desired that
the good will of the United States
towards China should be exhibited in
this practical way, that American cap
ital should have access to that great
country and that the United States
SHOULD be in a position to share with
the other powers any political respon-
sibilities that might be associated
with the development of the foreign
relations of China in connection with
her industrial and commercial enter
prises.
THE present administration has
been asked by this group of bankers
whether it would also request them to
participate in the loan. The represen-
tatives of the bankers through whom
the administration wa approached de-
clared that they would continue to
seek their share of the loan under the
proposed agreements only if expressly
requested to do so by the government.
The administration has declined to.
make such request because it did not
approve the conditions of the loan or
the implication of responsibility on its
own part which it was plainly told
, would be involvea~in the request.
THE conditions of the loan seem to
us to touch very nearly the admins
trative independence of China itself;
and this administration does not feel
that it ought, even by implication, to
be a party to those conditions. The
responsibility on its part which would
be implied in requesting the bankers
! to undertake the loan might conceiy'
J ably go the length in some unhappy
contingency of forcible interference IN

=. of that great Oriental state just now

FEDERAL LAUNCH
ON WAY SOUTH
WILL INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS
OF THE NAVIGATION LAWS
NOW IN FORCE.

The government launch Tarragon
may be expected in this port almost
any time and owners Of motor boats
or any craft that comes under the
government regulations, would do well
to look things over and see if they are
in shape for an inspection and there
by save themselves trouble and ex-
pense.
The Tarragon is a fair sized boat,
carries quite crew and a complete
wireless outfit.
According to the Evening Star
~ ashington, ID. c., of Nov II, the
Tarragon left there that afternoon.
The work done is indicated by the fol-
lowing from the Star
Since the launch Tarragon Of the de-
partment of commerce has been in
commission about IS months, she has
made reports of vessels violating the
rules Of navigation that have resulted
in fines amounting, it is said, to over
$4,000 being imposed upon the VIC
lators. All this 100000 did not find
its way to the treasury, as in many
instances mitigating circumstances
were found and material reductions
made in the amount of the fines i'm
posed.
AS it is now thought that vessel
masters on the Chesapeake and its tri
butaries are well acquainted with the
navigation regulations, and it has been
shown them that the laws must be
obeyed, the officials in charge of the
Tarragon have arranged for her to
make a cruise south to Florida waters
stopping at many points en- route to
inspect vessels and see that they are
equipped as required by law. The
sending Of the inspection launch south
does not mean that the Chesapeake
and its tributaries will not be looked
after and violators OF the law caught
and punished. The revenue cult
Apache will redouble her viglancc II
the absence OF the Tarragon.
On a recent visit of the Tarra2on
to Crisiield and the lower part OF
Chesapeake bay IN Maryland fines
amounting to $1,000 were imp iseI
upon masters or owners of Is sailing
craft and power boats for navisatlo 1
law violations consisting chiefly Of
failure to show proper lights at night
and in not having proper life-a9 Ing
and fire-tighting equipment aboard of
their power boats.

'RECORD' CARGO
LOOKS LITTLE
VESSELS HAVE CLEARED FROM
BRUNSWICK WITH MUCH
LARGER CARGOES.

from Wilmington, y. C., d few days
ago saying that the steamer Holtye
had cleared from there with the Iarg-
est cargo Of cotton ever 10 leave an
Atlantic port and the Holtye had on
20,32i bales.
The big Leyland freighter Indian
left here in October with 22,763 bales
and over 100000 feet OF lumber and
200 bundles Of axe handles for good
measure and as the Indian and the At
lantian are again due in port this car
50 viii be eXcelled by both vessels.
Savannah also has something to say
about the matter as witness the fol-
lowing from the Savannah Press:
Local river folk and shipping inte--
ests generally were much amused this
morning by a telegram from Whining
ton, N. c., stating that the steamship
Holtye had cleared yesterday with the
largest cargo Of cotton ever sent out
of an Atlantic port.
AS a matter of fact the Holtye only
carried IA total OF 20,324 bales, while
the steamship St Andrew, clearing
from this port for Bremen on Nov.
1911, too out 1888 bales. For good
measure the big British vessel also
had aboard $50 tons OF cotton seed
and coo barrels Of rosin
The steamer Indian, clearing after
the ST. Andrew, also took out mon
ster cargo of cotton, and while it may
be painful to the people OF Whining
ton, they will sooner or later AWAKEN
to the fact that Savannah on many
occasions, has excelled the cargo OF
the IIoltye Twenty thousand bales
from this port is regarded as cargo
Of no extraordinary dimensions"
