OPPOSITION ID M. CLEMENCEAU
 IS INCREASING 6
Vote of Confidence by Small Majority Makes Opposition .Jubilant.
(By The Associated Press. )

(Dy 4ne ASSOCldCeQ IeSS.)
 Paris, July 22.-The chamber of deputies gave vote of confidence in the cabinet of M. Clemenceau this afternoon, by vote of 272 against 191.
 M. Clemenceaus opponents were .ubilent over the vote in the chamber saying that it spelled the doom of the cabinet as at present constituted.
 Premier Clemenceau on leaving the chamber said "this is mere skirm- ish. The real battle is coming"
 The premier was cheered as he departed, army officers surrounding him and shouting "vive Clemepceau" and Hong live the father of victory"
 Annoyed during the debate by re- reated interruptions from the social ists in which Jean Bon and M. Var enne were conspicuous, M. Clemen- ceau himself ascended the tribune. Amid tense silence, the old man walked slowly up the steps and turn ed and saluted the right and center and glowered at the extreme left. The light of battle was gleaming in the Tigers eye as he said, in a low voice:
 You blame me for not having having chosen my colleagues from the learned. An eminent man is not necessarily a member of the French academy"

 FRENCH PACT
At All-Night Session, House of Commons Accepts Both
 Agreements.

London, July 22-At what was virtually, an all-n,ght sesso~. the house of commons completed its consideration of both the German peace treaty and the Anglo Trench convention.
 The bill carrying approval of the German treaty was considered in committee of the whole, exciting lengthy debate. in which Premier Lloyd George took am active part The bill was then placed before the house and passed it's third reading after a motion by John Devln to reject it as protest against the premier's attitude toward Ireland had been defeated by 163 to
 Then, at 3 a. m, the Anglo French pact was taken up aud the bill ap- proving it was unanimously adopted after a short but sharp debate, in which the argument that the treaty was not consistent with the spirit of the league of nations failed to find any substantial echo.
 The German treaty passed through all it's stages without amendment.
 In concluding his speech on the treaty, Premier Lloyd George while making no claim of perfection for it. expressed confidence that any de. fects would be remedied by the league of nations, notwithstanding it's imperfections, the premier de- clsred. the treaty would stand as a" lighthouse in the deep and a warning to nations and rulers of nations against the peril which the German empire shattered itself against"
