QUEEN PEACE CONVERT
Her Majesty of the Netherlands
Consents to Open Palace.

The Hague. July 26-The Dutch pacific
lists are jubilant because Queen Wilhel-
nina has consented TO open the Palace Of
Peace. This is taken to mean that the
peace movement has MADE great strides p
since the last conference here. when the
unsympathetc attitude of Hollands SOW
ereign and especially her refusal TO lay
the foundation stone OF the building
caused unfavorable comment by the
French pacifcist. Baron d'Estournelles de

Queen Wlnelmina's changed attitude IS
doubtless due 10 the influence OF other
European monarchs and to the firm stand
taken by the American government for -.

with Some Surprise,
but with Approval.
fBy cable TO The Tribune. J

Paris. July 2G.-The BarthOu Cabi-
net. after its victory with the three
year military service bill. has had up
hill work during the week. Finance
is it's weakest point and the encounter
between the Prime Minister and NJ
Caillaux. leader of the Combes and
Jaures opposition on the budget prob
lem. was like the typical French duel
i. G., two balls exchanged without re-
suit
NJ. Barthou adrotly managed to save
the Cabinet 10y promising 10 incorpo-
rate irksome income tax proposals and
heavy taxes on capital in his financial
bill against the reassembling OF Par
lament next November, when at least
$3.50. 100000 Of additional resources
must be found. Thus by Pyrrhic de-
lay the Cabinet was saved.
II is an almost general opinion
among political observers in Paris that
the Barthou Ministry. as soon as II
has fulfilled its patriotic mission of re
establishing the three years military
service. will probably not live to carry
out the financial reforms now under
discussion.
