POINCARE Fighting
FOR POLITICAL LIFE
Appeals to Rene Viviani. Socialist. to
Form New Cabinet to Replace
Ribot Ministry.
NO MONEY In THE TREASURY
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
Paris, June 13.-In a desperate ef-
fort to save his political life, President
Poincare appealed today to Rene VI
viani, former minister of instruction,
to form a cabinet to succeed the Ribot
ministry, which resigned yesterday.
Upon the success of N. Viviani. who
is Socialist, probably will depend the
political fate OF President Poincare.
IL Viviani Is unable to form a new
government t,-or IL he does succeed in
making up ministry which is forced
from office, President Poincare, undoubt-
edly. will have to surrender to his politi-
cal enemies.
Among the RADICALS and Socialists who
are opposed bitterly to the Poincare
policies, one of the chief leaders is
Joseph Caillaux. former minister OF
finance. whose wife at present is in Jail
pending trial for the killing of CASTOR
Calmette.
The gravest political situation of the
present century faces the government OF
France. In addition to dissension over
the three-year military law and other
governmental policies. the national
treasury is nearly empty and the gov
ernment is not in a position to bor-
row any more money. NJ. Ribot went into
ofice as premier with the intention Of
borrowing s19O.0C5.0O6 to put the govern
ment upon its feet. but his overthrow
yesterday prevented the carrying out of
this legislation.
The Bourse was affected today by the
political situation and rentes govern
ment bondS were weak.

officially. the Mexicans are agreed that II
the protocol is drawn up the way that
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
want IL, Carranza could continue his
march on Mexico City, capture 1t. and

hands of his agents enter the presidential
election with no one to oppose him.
The report that Gen. Villa already Is
planning Carranza's downfall and Is plot
ting secretly to seize control Of Mexico
is not believed by Secretary Bryan or
the American delegates. They regard
these stories as canards circulated for
the purpose Of weakening the admins
tration's support Of the rebel cause. The
American delegates are opposed unal-
terably to Villa as a candidate for any
political Office.
This afternoon Justice Lamar visited
the mediators few minutes. He had
just received i-telegraphic instructions
from Washington. 1t was reported that
at the morning session various names

ey er, he had gone away in the billions on
his polo calculations and that estimate
sounds reasonable.
10000 Attend Game.
polo crowd is so wealthy that i
jingles as II walks There were per-
hsps 0D people present today and they
were all either wealthy or they gained
admission on passes. They must have
been wealthy to pay for their tickets and
they had to be something more than
" NeaIthy to be able to meet the prices
that have been asked for refreshments
on the grounds.
The statement Of the attendance Is or
fered without prejudice.
In a moment of enthusiasm it might
be put at 10000. but going by the plain
facts In the case, which are to the ef-
feet that there is seating capacity TSr
only A000 and standing room for 1900
more, 5000 is about right and giving
them\a shade the best of it at that.
Never was there such weather for polo.

of those present. Never was there such
a day. There was even a hint Of rain
in the clouds that hung TO the west. but
no rain came.
Crowd Is silent.
Soon after o'clock a long line of
grooms and horses appeared and there
was a parade about the fields. Imme-
diately afterward a white shirted. white
helmeted horseman galloped noiselessly
about the field and a man with a meg
aphone, who was stationed high up in
the press stand. gave il out that this was
Rene La Montague. .
The man with the megaphone was of
invaluable assistance through the after
noon for he seemed to know about every
thing that was going on and was not
stingy with his information.
II was rather silent crowd that
watched the game. Once in a while they
all leaped up with their feet Gathering
against the boards. but polo applause at
best Is sporadic and feeble. and espe-
cially when the thing is going against
the American team. 1t is confined to
"Oh's" and "Ahs' and is perfunctory
and polite Just one time the crowd cut
loose during the early stages with a
real old Yankee yell and that was when
the Americans scored their first goal.

FORCING cARRANzA PROGRAM.
". So VIII Consider No Proposition

~. s. VIII Consider No Proposition
which Does Not Include Rebels.
The United States delegates to the me-
diation conference at Niagara Falls are
bending every effort toward influencing
the mediators to reconsider their atti-
tude toward Carranza. In the event Of
a successor to Huerta being agreed upon
by the mediators and the delegates rep
resenting Huerta and the United States
he will be a man of pronounced and In
disputabie constitutional sympathies and
tendencies. 1t is known that the dele
gates representing this country have in
structions to agree to no other tentative
ruler.
Officials here maintain the stand that
mediation without Carranza represented
will prove futile, as he represents the ma
jority of Mexicans. No plan for a pro-
visional government which does not meet
with the approval of the first chief of
the constitutionalists will be agreed
TO by the Americans, as II would be far
from settlement of the Mexican prob
lem.
United States officials are keeping in
close touch with the Carranza element
In Mexico. both through the rebel agents
in Washington, and through Consul Car
rothers, who has been moved from Tor
reon TO Saltillo for this express purpose.
Carranza's representative IN Washington
was closeted with Secretary Bryan for
an hour yesterday morning. and had an
other interview with him last night.
Little definite information was obtained
from them following these conversations,
but 1t was learned that the State De-
partment is constantly advised of the
attitude OF, Carranza toward every turn
of the mediation proceedings.
1t was stated on good authority last
night that Senors Cabrera, Easconcelos
and Calderon. the three men who will go
TO Niagara as Carranza's delegates In
case the mediators reconsider their action
in closing negotiations with the leader OF
the rebels. will not go to deal with the
mediators except as fully accredited and
empowered delegates. 1t is possible, how
ever, members of the rebel tunta admit
ted last night, that they may go to
Niagara Falls and advise the Huerta and
the United States delegates Of the atti-
tude of Cariansa on the various questions
being considered by them, provided def
mite assurance was given them that their
presence there would be acceptsb BILE and
NECESSARY.
War to Go On.
The Carranzistas are firm in their pur-
pose OF refusing to consider an armistice.
AS a matter of fact, when the millions
of rounds of ammunition from the An
tilla ard the Sunshine reach the main
body of the constitutionalist army north
of Mexico City the beginning of the final
campaign with the capital as its object
will commence in real earnest. The reb-
els fear losing hard earned advantages
of strength II any cessation Of hostilities
is considered. and it is doubtful il even
Villa could keep the present firm grip
on his followers il they had not Mexico
City in front of them as a constant in
centive to end the fighting cnce and for
all.
