The cost of uniforms and liveries for
the servants is also a big item. Be
fore the war the usiform for one of
the outriders on the presidential coach
cost S15 francs for the coat, the waist
coat cost 22O francs and the yellow
Heather breeches 1926 francs. The cost
of these now has unquestionably trip
led.
The presidents charity allowances
and contributions also make up one of
his heaviest items. Deschanel inaug-
usated his term of office by giving co.
00J francs to the poor of Paris. Next
day he visited the military hospitals
and left 500 francs for the wounded.
The demands made on the French
president for charity are enormous and
owing to the traditions established
when France was a monarchy and the
head of the state was most generous,
he is Obliged 10 respond literally.

The salary and allowances now fall
far shorter than do those in America
for the upholding of the dignity and
position of president.
First of all France pays her chief
magistrate as salary 500, 900 francs a
year. Then he has an additional al
lowance of 800 600 francs n year for
his household expenses and another
500, 600 francs for entertainments.
Besides these allowances. the only
other thing furnished him are his res
idence and furniture in the Elysee pal
ace which are kept up by the ministry
of fine arts-eVen down to furniture
repairs.
Before the present upheaval of fl
nancial condition the above allow
.ances made it at least possible to get
away with the job with honor and dig
initN-if necessarily without profit
That French presidents have not been
able to save much out of these allow
lances is demonstrated by the fact that
former President Loubet can be daily
seen taking a street car instead of rid
ing in his own automobile. while for
mer President Fallieres who although
blessed with thrifty habits and a large
private fortune is known to have come
out considerably poorer. His charity
donations during his term as president
ran from 5000 TO 1000 francs month.
Finally, eN-Presidcnt Poincare has
returned to his former profession Of
senator and attorney in order To re-
plete the inroads made in his private
fortune during his term as president.

The total allowances to the French

this he must pay every cent OF his do

RESUMPTION OF FRENCH POMP
TO TAKE DESCHANEL'S FORTUNE

PARIS. April 2.-There is every rea-
son to believe that the private fortune
of Madame Deschanel. which is report
ed to he very large is going to suffer
some terrific assaults during the seven
years term of her husband as .presi-
dent of France.
In fact. it is even to be presumed
that unless Monsieur and Madame
Deschanel hadn't figured that the
honor was well worth paying highly
for, NJ. Deschanel would have let Gle
menceau have it.
While France never intended, any
more than did the United States, that
the president should have TO pay large
ly out of his own pocket the cost of his
job, unfortunately the increased cost
of living and the decreased value of
French currency, has made the French
presidential job one that is anything
but promising from financial point
of view.

merous other employees. He must keep
up the state automobiles and the state
stables filled with horses for drawing
the state carriages when state visitors
are his guests.
He must also pay all the expenses of
state dinners which are numerous and
large. These dinners are usually serv-
ca by some one of the leading restau-
ranters of the city. Before the war,
they cost about 40 francs a plate. Now
40 francs won't buy an ordinary lunch

and restaurants of Paris.
