People Cry for Defeat

By C. INMAN BARNARD.

Paris, June 20 (via London) The
unanimity Of the Chamber of Deputies
in the intention to carry on the war to
the end, and the firm determination OF
Parliament to fight il out to finish,
elected Involuntary in the Chamber
by bitter personal attack on tho
Cabinet by NJ. Accambray, Radical So
cialist, Deputy from Laon, graduate OF
the Polytechnic School, and former ar
tillery captain, are ratified to-day IN
Paris and throughout France with a
patriotic enthusiasm exceeding that OF
any popular demonstrations of public
opinion seen here since the days OF
mobilization last August. Converse
tions with leading statesmen, senators,
Deputies, Mayors of provincial towns,
newspaper men, shopkeepers and
above all-with the level headed, prac-
teal women who sell fish, vegetables
and meat in the central markets
those democratic and buxom femmes
des halles, whose predecessors since
the days of Henry ", have always been
the barometer of national sentiment
prove conclusively that the French peo-
pie, after eleven months Of war, still
realize that the very existence. of
France is at stake and are cheerfully
prepared to make every possible human
and material sacrifice to attain an ulti-
mate success that will prevent Ger
many from Enchanting future vars
against France.
Fishwives Tell Story.
Nine. Dubois, venerable dame, who
for nearly half century has sold FISH,
Holsters and crabs in the central mar
ket, exclaimed: 81 have three sons and
seven grandsons at the front, and a
fourth son was killed last October |
am only sorry | have not more of my
flesh and blood to send to the trenches.
| would rather have my throat cut
than show the white feather, even
should the fight last six years"
In talking with bankers and tinan-
ciers, among them Leroy Beaulieu and
Raphael Georges Levy, | find that
Finance Minister Ribot's enormous es-
innate of the sum that will be Pc
CURED monthly after July to finance
the war does not shake one iota of
the determination Of the wealthy
classes, upon whom falls heaviest the
weight of taxation and financial sacri-
flee, to pursue the struggle to the
finish, no matter how long it may last
People viii Hold Out.
Alfred Capus, editor of "Le Figaro"
says the true situation is set forth by
a carica.ure of Jean Forain represent
ing two French territorial soldiers in
the trenches, one Of whom remarks,
I'VE are all right so long as the people
at home hold out" But the people at
home" are holding out nobly. Every
man, woman and child knows that for
France this is life and death struggle.
In the Palais Bourbon, where the
Chamber of Deputies meets, there is a
cosy little corner in the ante-room
popularity called "The corner of the
people at home who hold out" This
snug rendezvous has a table, sofa and
chairs, largely utilized before the war
by German journalists, who, in expect
ant, scrutinizing attitudes, like those
of the famous watcher, catcher and
killer of the gargoyles of Notre Dame
Cathedral, sought hour by hour for
material useful for the hostile prepa-
rations of the Berlin Foreign Office.
All of Same Mind.
This corner is now the gathering
place of Deputies and journalists, who
meet daily to talk over matters frank
ly and informally, making a sort of po-
litical club. 1t was nicknamed yester-
day, in honor of the Partisan carica-
turist, "the Forain Office"
1t is here, as in Central Market, that
one can test the real pulse Of Paris.
And here war to the bitter end is
the watchword, just as on the boule-
wards and in the cafes. "Not the faint
est sign of weakening anywhere" are
the words one hears to-day on all sides.
