PARIS, Feb. 14--Rumors of an eff

culating here. A political writer In

The conflict between the president
and the radicals (the party from which
Prime Minister Doumergue chose his
cabinet) is now virtually open NJ.
Poincare might think that he has dis
armed his adversaries in offering them
power, by choosing his cabinet from
among them. This is far from being
the case. The concession was made
without the slightest gain. They de.
mand the resignation Of the president
Of the republic, nothing less"
President Poincare was to have
lpaid an official visit to Peronne, in
northern France, the latter part OF
this month, formally to award the city
the cross of the Legion of Honor. The
ceremony has been postponed until

failure Of his ministers to nominate

Jennings Bryan was speaking as the
honor guest of the Authors League to-
night, he reached involuntarily for
the glass Of water that had been plac-
ed before him with large pitcher OF
grape juice, embellished with lemon
juice. He reached slightly beyond the
territory allotted to his place at the
table and grasped the glass of cham
payne next door" He had raised
the sparkle water several inches from
the table when Mrs. Bryan, who was
a guest with him, gently touched the
arm of the secretary Of state, who
paused in his remarks, looked down,
saw his mistake and replaced the
champagne. He reached again, tooA

The attendance at tonight's first an.
nual dinner of the league, comprised
pretty nearly everyone who writes.

and you will have the list OF members

or "honored guest" present who didn't
wear a dress suit Not only that, but
he wore shirt with soft collar.
Winston Churchill, as head OF the
organization, presided Rex Beach, as
one of the speakers, explained the
purpose of the league. Looking at the
secretary Of state, he said: 1T is a
known fact that American authors are
not protected as they should be. We
authors of today are not starving like
the authors Of several decades ago,
but neither do we all own autonlo-
biles We should have laws that pro-
tect us as have the merchants, the

"The moving picture business" he
said, "Opens a vast outlet for authors
but as the law now stands, we can
collect only 500 damages when NOV
ing picture concerns use our works,
Il they have not been dramatized. This
is obviously unfair. There is too
much moving picture piracy these
days. 1t has resulted in much film
flam"
Secretary Bryan urged writer's of
today to have purpose IN every
thing they put out. He pointed out
the great influence good authors of
today have with SO many publishers
seeking both fiction and analytical
writings. Only in this way, he said,
can man be said really to succeed.
He said that he had always made an
exception to labor organizations in
antitrust legislation be-
cause the labor unions never had been
able through their commissions to
save enough money to corrupt others
and themselves SO it is with auth
ors. !" he concluded. There Is no
chance for them to save enough to
