bers of the French chamber Of deputies
have signed a manifesto asserting them
selves in line with the resolution signed
Thursday by the members of the
senate in which hope was expressed
that full restitution would he exacted
from the enemy and that the fun cos-
of the war would be imposed ION those
responsible for the greatest crime of
history" The resolution said that the
senators insisted that the peace treaty
and league Of nations provide legal and
territorial guarantees of sufficient
strength to prevent future wars.
This is taken by many observers,
including French newspapers, as an.
other sign of the growing discomfort
with the peace conference and its work.
The French press also is apparently
discontented over the results of the
last two meetings Of the league of ma.
