French Public Solid in Support
OfPrender Who is Determined
To Secure Treaty's Enforcement

the Chamber of Deputies last week.
Premier Millerand in all the pour
parlers with German charge daft
faires was not only sure of his
ground. but was simply obeying the
mandate of his parliament. That
his action caused pafned surprise
among the allies is considered here
only additional evidence of their
own wobbliness of mind-displayed
not only in making the treaty, but
in seeing that it's clauses are kept.
In other words France, not Mil
lerand, has acted, and France has
acted because her patience is ut
terly exhausted and because she
considers her case not only just but
extremely clear.
The allies, the French contend
have dilly-dallied on every point
brought up by the Germans con-
cerning treaty observance and have
permitted them to crawl out of a
settlement.
All that France has ever received
from Germany is the return of a lot
of stolen property and some rail-
way cars. half of which have been
ever since in French repair shops.
Therefore France now ceases to
consider whether the treaty is a
good treaty or a bad treaty. AS a
treaty II exists and France today
feels quite equal to the task of
seeing that it shall not be scrapped.

GIRLS SURPASS
IN POPULARITY
Show Boys Less
Sought After for
Adoption.

Girls are more popular than boys
little girls.
When it comes to adopting a
child and with 1t the responsibility
of bringing it up to be a useful
citizen. the Washington families
who desire such n duty prefer to
take a girl in the majority of cases.
according to the adoption records
OF the District Supreme Court.
In 1917 girls were nearly so per
cent more popular than boys, the
records showing that only II boys
were adopted against a total of 25
girls.
In 1918 the popularity of the
girls shrunk a little but not much
-21 boys being adopted against
% girls. The adoption figures for
1919 are exactly the same as for
191S-thc same number of boys and
girls being adopted. During the
present year so far, nine girls
have been adopted and only boys.
1t is not the rich who adopt
children in this locality. 1t Is the
middle class and often poor people
who assume this responsibility.
