Hundreds of persons who heard the

the music was produced by the S1st Army

FRANCE PLANS
REPLACEMENT
OF DESCHANEI4
Presidents Continued Illness
Makes Drastic Action
Necessary.
NONE. ANXIOUS FOR JOB

PARIS, Sept. ,15.-President Paul Des-
chanel, who is seriously i'll, has taken
a turn for the worse, it was learned
today
The Figaro announces that the gov
eminent is expected TO convene the ma
tionaI assembly within a few days to
select NJ DeschaneTs successor, as the
President is so i'll that he cannot attend
his duties.
PHYSICIANS KEEP
CABINET INFORMED.
According to the Journal, President
Deschanel will resign next week.
The presidential situation will be dis
cussed at a meeting of the cabinet on
Friday.
Gfficials take the view that quick ac-
ton is necessary, as the French Presi-
dent win soon be called upon to vel
come formally the new Britich and Ger
man ambassadors.
The cabinet is being kept Informed BY
the physicians attending NJ. Deschanel
of his condition.
The Figaro believes that the mex,
President Of France will be one of the
following public men: Leon Bourgeois,
president of the Senate; Raoul Paret
speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, or
NJ journal
NONE ARE ANXIOUS
TO TAKE OFFICE.
The International News Service, how
ever, was informed from an authoritative
source that NJ. Bourgeois will not accept
and that neither Premier Millerand nor
NJ. Peret would make an active cam
paign for the post, nor would they al
low their political friends 10 do so IN
their behalf.
announced that he would not be a can
didate.
The Socialists are backing N. Don,
lnergue and N. MiIlerand, with the lat
ter the strong favorite.
Paul Deschanel, at the age of CO, was
elected President of France.
1t was a climax of long public career,
in which he had served in minor capaci-
ties in several departments. Before cleo
ton he was a member of the Chamber
OF Deputies and presided over that body.
He also had done much literary work.
His election as President aroused little
enthusiasm.
1t was regarded largely as a rebuke
to his opponent, Premier Clemenceau.
Deschanel's former mental vigor ap-
peared lacking after his election, and
there were many rumors as to his real
physical condition.
Recently he has been in the country
near Paris under care Of a physician.
Shortly after his election Deschanel
was found by a railway track walker
wandering along the road in his night
clothing.
He explained he had either walked or
fallen from a moving train in his sleep.
He was not injured.
The President was regarded as a hand
some and magnetic man.
