anxiety:
"How is it with you, matey? Did
We git lunged up?"
Rainey managed to shake his head
and, with Lunds boughlike arm for
support, got to his feet, winded,
shaken, aching from his pounding and
the crash against the whale.
Sandy was lying face down, one
hunter kneeling across him, kneading
his ribs to bellows action, lifting his
upper body in time to the pressure,
while another worked his slack arms
up and down. y

Wonderful! 1t was brave Of you'll"
Peggy Simms stood before Rainey,

clean shine of her teeth, above her

lucceeded Aristde BRAND as premier
Of France. has completed his ministry,
and presented the names to President
Millerand. The president accepted
the designations, and NJ. Poincare de-
clared the cabinet crisis en'"I'
The new premier achieved not
able success in limiting the minister
ial crisis to three days, but failed to
accomplish the desire with which ne
is credited, of forming cabinet OF
wide national union on the lines OF the
cabinets formed in 1914 and l9lo,
while he was president Of the repub'
lie. Not that he could be expected
to include ethe Socialists, who were
represented in these ministries, 1or
their press has seized upon the return
of Poincare to power to revive their
charges that he personally was re-
sponsible for the war.
His partial failure, as explained by
the Petit Parisien, may be attributed
in part to the fact that the situation
although grave, cannot be compared
to that existing n 1914 and 1915.
The chamber elected in 1919 COM
prises a majority known as the Ma"
tional Bloc, which is in clear.cut op-
position, as regards internal pollcy'
to the Socialists radical group, which
previously was the largest and most
important group the chamber.
NJ. Herriott, leader Of the Socialist
radical group in the chamber, and M
Doumergue, leader Of the correspond
Ing group in the Senate, refused Of
fee, but assured M. Poincare that no
could count on their support on his
foreign policy. M Sarraut, VINO hela
the portfolio Of colonies under BRAND,
and who now is in Washington, be-
longs to this group, but 1t is taken
for granted that he will retain MS
, present office. M. Laffont, the new
undersecretary Of posts and tele-
graphs, also is a member OF the So
, cialist radical group.
At a meeting this party decided

Carlson would come from below VI
