ACTIONS OF AMERICA
ENCOURAGE FRANCE
ENTRY OF THE UNITED STATES
INTO WAR is CHEERED IN
COMMONS.

Paris.-EXtraordinary scenes of en-
thusiasm for the United States were
witnessed in both houses OF Parlia-
ment. Not since the historic session
Of August 4, 1914, has there been a
parallel
Alexandra Ribo, the venerable pre-
mier. arose after the chamber met
and began an address in solemn and
impressive tones to the silent assem-
blage which filled every part of the
house. The deputies listened with m
broken attention until the first men
ton of the United States. Then they
broke out in applause, At first 1t Was
a decorous clapping of hands, and
then the whole house spontaneously
arose, cheering for the United States
and President Wilson.
The American ambassador, William
G. Sharp, was in the diplomatic gal
lery. The deputies turned toward nm
and the demonstration continued. The
ambassador stood up and bowed and
the cheering was redoubled in inten'
sity.
President Poincare Of France had
sent the following cablegram to Pres
ident Wilson:
"At the moment when, under the
generous inspiration of yourself, the
great American republic, faithful 10
its ideals and its traditions, is coming
forward to defend with the force OF
arms the cause of justice and OF lid
erty, the people of France are filled
with the deepest feelings OF brotheriy
appreciation.
Permit me again to convey to you,
Mr.. President, in this solemn and
grave hour, an assurance of the same
sentiments of which | recently gave
YOU evidence, sentiments which, un-
der the present circumstances have
grown, in depth and warmth
"I am confident that | voice the
thought of all France in expressing
to you and to the American nation
the JOY and the pride which we feel
today as our hearts once again beat
in unison with yours.
"This war would not have reached
its final import had not the United
States been LED by the enemy himself
to take part in it. TO every impartial
spirit it will be apparent, in the tu-
ture more than ever in the past, that
German imperialism, which desired,
prepared and declared this war, had
conceived the mad dream of establish
ing its hegemony throughout the
world. 1t has succeeded only in
bringing about a revolt of the con-
science Of humanity
an never-to.ue-lorgotten language
you have made yourself, before the
universe, the eloquent interpreter OF
outraged laws and d menaced ciyiliza-
ton
Honor to you, Mr. President and
TO your noble country, ! beg you to
believe in my devoted friendship,
(Signed
RAYMOND POiNCARE.'

TwINING ASKS DELAY
Director Twining, in the statement givel
out by him, said:
The Department OF City Transit has
been advised that efforts are being made
to have the various business mems asso-
Citations and other organizations OF the
city take premature and adverse action
upon the draft of lease submitted to Coun-
ellis by the Mayor on June IL a copy of
which is herewith transmitted to you
AS the consummation of a proper lease
for the cty's high-speed lines Is the most
important concern of the people Of Phla.
delphia, the present draft, which is the
fifth that has been prepared. should be
given study; all its provisions should be
discussed and understood before any
hasty or immature judgment is passed
upon it.
The plan upon which this draft is de-
signed differs very materially from the
four drafts which have preceded ii. 1t
has not been presented as a perfect docu-
ment but as forming a basis upon which
a fair, honest and equitable lease may
be finally nodded and completed.
The department has publicly announced
that it will be glad to answer all written
inquiries regarding any of the terms of
the proposed lease which do not appear
clear The department invites and will
welcome any and all constructive criti-
cisms or suggestions for its improvement.
The joint counciimanic Committee of
Finance and Street Railways has now be-
come the custodian of the proposed lease

the first public hearing upon il. The de.
partment deems it proper, regular and
courteous to defer any formal reply TO
the charges already made or that may
be made, until the hearings of the Joint
committee.
In addition. at these hearings the depart
ment viii present a full and complete
analysis OF the proposed lease and the
reasons for inserting therein its various
provisions. The suggestions which the
department has received as to how the
lease may be improved will also be pre-
sented to the committee.
In the light Of the above statement
II would seem to be eSpedent to keep
your mind open until all the facts have
been presented and withhold any formal
action. either favorable or adverse, upon
the lease until after the public hearings,
