End of Parliament Seen
in French Deputies Vote
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 17.-Some newspapers
here point out that yesterdays vote
in the chamber of deputies by which
Premier Clemenceaus ministry was
upheld in it's plans for holding the
coming election, marks the virtual
end of the present parliament, the only
matter still to be decided upon being
the amnesty bill.
Many journals, in commenting upon
the vote in the chamber emphasize
the success secured by the premier,
who they say was able to convince
the chamber "of a necessity of con
sulting the country as soon as pos
Sible".
