that he would carry on the negotia-
tions personally, rather than leave
them to the Minister Of Foreign Af-
fairs, acting under the direction Of
the Cabinet. To be sure, the consti-
tuition Of France says the President
can conduct negotiations with for
eign nations and make treaties, but
1t is a prerogative no President has
ever exercised.
President Millerand has appointed
as his first Premier M. Georges
Leygues and has given Premier
Leygues a ready-made cabinet. The
reason for the appointment is OBJ
vious. President Millerand first Of
fered the appointment to four other
men, any one Of whom would have
made q stronger Premier and Gre
ated a better impression on the
country than M. Leygues. But any
one Of the other four would have in
sisted on being Premier in accord
ance with the established constitu-
tional practice Of the country. They
would have insisted on directing
policy and being responsible to Par
Lament and not to the President.
They would have insisted on the
right to name their own cabinets. Nj.
Leygues accepts the cabinet provided
by President Millerand and will
carry out the orders Of President
Millerand. With M. Leygues as
titular Premier, M. Millerand will
be both President and Premier in
fact. 1t remains to be seen how the
Parliament will accept this situation.
President Millerand appears to have
invited a conflict which will result
in his elimination from public life
or from which he will emerge with
complete justification for the epithet
dictator.

in its courtesy, its Difference and
gentle persuasiveness. This is his
latter-day manner, at least; some
little while ago he was by no means
so polished, and even now there are
people who maintain that it is a
case of the Russian and the Tartar.
Millerand talks more than he thinks,
and excites rather than convinces.
He has q perfect genius for cutting

never q doubt that principles were
made to be sacrificed to expedisncy.~

sought to force France to disarm

voice and his vote. He was largely

lerand seen with the biased eye.
Nevertheless, the st. Mande pro-
gram was only step in a logical
development. The Dreyfus affair
brought about the next step Mile
rand had no prominent part in
that affair, but it made him do
deal Of thinking, and, when Wal
deck Rousseau in 1899 formed his
famous reorganization cabinet to
iquidate the Dreyfus affair and re-
store France to her balance, Mile
rand broke with Socialist tradition
and entered the cabinet as Minister
of Commerce. He was the first So
cialist to become a member Of the
French government, and the Socialist
party was shocked and shaken, but
it was understood that Millerand
had consulted Jaures and that
Jauras had given his consent to the
step. Millerand, therefore, re-
mained a Socialist in good standing

pected.

Council, and for five years continued
as Socialist representative in that
body, devoting himself chiefly TO leg
islation that would ease the situation
Of women and children. In national
politics he was bitter enemy of
Boulanger and was q leader in the
organization Of PUnion de la Jeu-
nesse Republicaine, whose aim was to
prevent boys and young men from
falling under the influence Of the
clergy. In 1889 the Socialists elect
ed him as one of the Paris members
Of the Chamber Of Deputies.
At that time Jules Guesde and
Paul Lafargue were the leaders of
the Socialist party in France. They
wefo Marxians and preached revolu-
tionary socialism. Millerand grad
ually drew away from them and be-
came the leader Of a more conserva-
tive group. By the middle ZOOS the
split was apparent, and by 1896 it
was wide open. Millerand had al
ready expressed the ambition to be
Premier and President. AS first
step he wanted to be Minister for
Foreign Affairs. His enemies laid
his split with Guesde and Lafargue
to ambition, but looking back over
his career one sees that he split with
the revolutionary Socialists because
of the development of his ideas. AS
he grew older the turbulence Of
youth became restrained, and he re-
turned to the solid bourgeois beliefs
of his forbears and his early train
ing. France was becoming an entity
that replaced the ideal interna-
tionale.

could take office under any except
a Socialist government, and formally
expelled Millerand from the party

just preceding the Presidential cleo
ton on January 18. Poincare was
Premier and candidate for the
Presidency. Millerand was Minis
ter of War. On January 10 it was
announced in lie Journal Oficiel
that Lieutenant Colonel du Patty de
Clam had been reinstated in his mill
tary rank and given a commission
in the territorial army. Du Paty
de Clam had been one Of the chief
witnesses against Dreyfus in the first
nreyfus trial and had been driven
oAt of the army at the time of the
Dreyfus revision. He had charged
then that his regimental reports had
been tampered with and forged by the
Minister Of War. When Millerand
restored the disgraced officer to his
former rank the Socialists immedi-
ately took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to attempt to revive the en-
tire Dreyfus scandal, and there was
bitter outcry against Millerand.
with loud and insistent demands for
his resignation and for the resigna-
ton of the whole Poincare govern
ment.
Millerand at first refused to resign
and explained that the reinstatement
of du Patty de Clam was a purely
routine affair. 1t had not come be-
fore the cabinet, and NJ. Poincare
had no responsibility in the matter.
In 1911, said M. Millerand NJ. Mes
simy, then Minister of War, had
agreed to restore du Patty de Clam
to the army, provided he would with
draw his charges of forgery made in
connection with the Dreyfus affair.
Du Patty de Clam had finally accept
ed the terms and withdrawn the
charges, and M. Millerand had car
ried out the agreement made by NJ.

lerand was chosen for the post, and
las January ne was recalled to Paris

mier it was once more his buIlhead-

his deep humiliation in 1915, that
brought him the enthusiastic support
of the French nation. He insisted
stubbornly and passionately that
peace should bring France the fruits
Of victory. Lloyd George could not
