Cold water and salt are about the

Miss Wood tonight was being held

LOFTS met his death suddenly, either

PARIS, July 31-A remarkable dem
onstration against Premier Lloyd

the French Senate tonight, during the
debate on the Spa coal agreement.
Senator Chene Benoit led off with an
attack on English "sclfShness." Gas
leader of the most important group
IN the chamber, followed in the same
strain.
During his lengthy Grafton Dou-
mergue went through the history of
Franco British cooperation, heaping re-
proaches on England at almost every
step. His speech was applauded by
the whole assembly. even the minis
tiers Joining in the demonstration
against the ungenerous way in which
French opinion considers France has
been treated.
AS in the Chamber yesterday, the Sen
ate to-day supported Premier Milerand
in the Spa agreement, for it was agreed
that France had no alternative. Dou-
mergue declared he would vote in favor
of the Spa coal agreement, but with
death in his soul" He said this must be
the last time such situation can arise.
He went through all the declarations of
Premier Lloyd George in the House of
Commons and recalled the time when
France first withstood the shock of the
German advance, with only two English
divisions there to help.
After reciting all the professions Of
admiration for France and the gener-
Gus words used in the House of Com

yet had seen Britain make sacrifice
which corresponded to these utter

more than eight hundred armed and

Furstenfeld Arsenal. They seized 1000
rifles, 1000 uniforms and 81 machine

The government has protested to the
