FRENCH PEACE TERMS

a man rose in a storm Of protest. It
was long before President Deschanel
could make himself heard. II am
astounded," he finally managed to
cry out, that any Frenchman could
even intimate that the provocation
for the present war did not come
solely from the side Of Germany" NJ.
Raffin-Dugens apolized and the only
chance ever offered to the French
chamber TO discuss peace was buried.
The people themselves, followed
quickly, within a week, with one OF
those manifestations that mark
epochs in the life of nations. Before
the present war France was not uni
ted on the question of preparedness.
If a regiment of troops passed It was
certain someone would applaud and
cry viva rarmee;" and that someone
else would shout viva la PaiX'
Noisy groups would form and riots
were likely to follow.
On June I, in honor OF her dead
General. Gallieni, Paris witnessed the
first great military display that has
taken place since the war began. As
cension day is one Of the great ma
tional holidays Of France. Represen-
tatives Of all France lined the streets
through which the funeral cortege
passed
Ordinarily people do not applaud az
funerals But the French. waiting
until the body Of Gallieni had passed,
appiauded and cheered the troops rep
resenting every branch OF the French
army
A quiet handclapping began ut the
sight OF the troops. II grew louder
and louder and more prolonged until
n extended down the lines OF thou
sands of people from the lnvalides to
the Care de Lyons It continued un-
til there was not a soldier In sight.
There was not one note of opposition.
Among the thousands of applaud
ers there were hundreds of women
wearing small punches of violets, wo-
men whose mourning garments show
ed they had lost a son, father a
brother or a sweetheart in the war.
Many OF them had spent almost their
last money TO purchase the emblama-
tic flowers
II was the FINAL solemn manifesto
ton Of the people OF France that the
voice of their President. the voice Of
their Premier. the voice OF their
Chamber Of Deputies. had been
also their voice and that France wants
a continuation OF the war until the
peace that she and her Allies desire
can definitely be imposed.

TO strike out the proposal finally was
defeated. 20 TO 10, after Senator Sim
mons, chairman Of the committee
had agreed to reduce the tax on ma

As approved. the section relating
to munitions provides that a net
profit tax OF ten per cent. be levied
upon manufacturers Of all munitions

be levied on manufacturers of ma

due to the five per cent. reduction
will be about $5,OOO,OOO.
To make up for this decrease and
also to make possible elimination OF
