BER OF DEPUTIES COMES TO
DRAMATIC END

Paris, Sept. 1.-The general dis
cussion of the ratification OF the

barrassed, all the ministers gather
ing around Premier Clemenceau

and finally Andre Tardieu arose and
said the government had anticipated
a discussion lasting well into the
week, but was ready to proceed, anC
would require an hour and half.
Jean Bon, socialist and extremist
came to the rescue of the government
by the bitterness of his attack, refus
ing to hear Capt. Tardieu or any
subordinate and calling upon Pre-
mier Clemenceau himself.
This made it a question of conf
dence and all the governments sup
porters rallied to the premier. Th'
sitting was then adjourned unit
Rene Viviani and Louis Barthou
both former premiers, will speak OF
that day.
M. Viviani told the Associated
Press that he expected the treat!
would be ratified on THURSDAY or Fri
day of this week.
Albert Thomas advocated the neu
tralization of the Rhine valley unde
occupation with the league of nation
in control and the capital of th'
league at Cologne or AK la Chapelle
He declared the former German EN-
peror must be brought to trial il
order to establish FULLY the responsi
bility of the war. M. Thomas adde's
that he would vote for ratification o
the treaty.
