several persons in one home are
commuters.

without a discussion Of its policies
until after the meeting Of the Premier
with the British Prime Minister, David
Lloyd George, and the Italian Foreign
Minister, Count Sforza, on January 49,
to discuss outstanding questions, in
Guiding German disarmament and
Preparations.
The vote, 463 to 1876, was the largest
ballot ever cast against a French Gov
eminent sine the foundation of the
Third Republic. Immediate y after the
vote OF lack OF confidence Premier
Leygues went to the Elysee Palace
and handed President Millerand the
collective resignation of his Ministry
The vote came as the elimination

insisted that the Premier accept dis

at the meeting on January 49, take
the Chambers advice and act upon its
sugge Stions

Chamber lobbies on the formation of a
new Cabinet. There are two well out
lined opinions the first being that the
National B ,oc will assume power, with
Deputies Bonneyay, Arago, Provost and
