Paris, Sept. l5--President Des-
chanel is to resign this week, the
French foreign office admitted to-
day. The president is suffering
from ncurasthenia, it was said. and
his mental condition is worse than
his physical.
Following confirmation by the
foreign Office that DeschaneI Will

official sources.
Paul Deschanel became president
at the age of 81. Before election
he was a member Of the chamber
of deputies and presided over that
body. His election as president
aroused little enthusiasm. 1t was
regarded largely as a rebuke to his
opponent. Premier Clemenceau.
Deschanels former mental vigor
appeared lacking after his election.
Recently he has been in the country
near Paris under care of a physi-
clan. Shortly after his election
Deschanel was found by a railway
track walker wandering along the
road in his night clothing. He eX-
planned that he had either walked

Terence MacSwiney, the hunger

evening. losing the power of speech,
according TO Father Dominic. his
private chaplain. The hunger-strik-
