The Chamber of Deputies in
France was the scene during the
week Of one of the most exciting
sessions Of its history. The occa-
sion for this was a vote of conf
dence taken in support of the prime
minister, Poincsre. At times the
Chamber became so excited and un-
ruiy as to over-reaeh the control of
the president Of the assembly. The
vote of confidence, however, was
passed by a large majority. The In
ternal and foreign policies of Poiu-
care may therefore be regarded as
acceptable to the people at large.

A royal marriage of significance
during the week was that of King
Alexander of Jugo-Slavia to Princess
Marie of Rumania. The wedding
was one of much splendor, and rep
resentatives from nearly all coun-
tries were present. It took place in
the old Byzantine Cathedral in Bel
grade, and the ceremony was per.
formed by the Servian Patriarch of
the Greek Church. The union in

From German sources the report
is spreading that Nicolai Lsnins,
head Of the Soviet system in Russis,
Is either dead or is practically dis
abled for any further work. Rumors
to this effect have been In circulation
some time. but the later ones seem
more reliable. This will probably
have a bearing on the proposed con-
freence at the Haeus and on world
affairs generally. LAnins has the
reputation of being ths best of tho
Soviet regime. He retained his sim
pie methods of life in his high posi-
tion and thus won the confidence
of the common people. Although
retaining the theory of Socialism, he
made more concessions to the oppos-
ing interests, both inside and outside
OF Russia, than any other of the
Soviet leaders. Thus he led other
nations to believe that relations
might be established with Russia in
time.

The Italian ambassador to the U.
5, Ricci, was recently called by Sec
retary Hughes to account for indis.
cretion in his public addresses. 1t
seems that he is regarded as an au-
thority on industrial and commercial
matters and has been asked to speak
before commercial clubs. It Is
charged that he has discussed too
freely on these occasions, the policies
OF the U. s., especially the Tariff and
immigration. The ambassador main-
tains, in self defense, that these
questions are international in char
acter and are open to discussion.
In general members Of the diplomatic
corps have always had to exercise
care along these lines and several
times ministers have been recalled,
by request, for indiscretions. Am
bassador Geddes from England was
summoned to explain certain re-
marks, also, but seems TO have been
excused from any blame.

He insisted that kindness requires

Burroughs is important, a thing
to be treasured and carefully con-
sidered. But there is a curious quail
ity about these papers, illuminating
as they are, that makes them pos

taken in connection with the whole

supplement, and possibly a correc-
tive to his last really great book.

these "reminiscences of his childhood

as one might examine a trilobite or
consider a chemical reaction. And

with all this detachment the exami-

The papers themselves are more
or less fragmentary recollections OF
his hard boyhood-needless to add,
always interesting. The closing par
agraph of the last paper is worth
citing as a sort of summary of the
whole. He is speaking of the many
springs of his Catskill hills:
"But I need not call the roll of all
the fountains of my youth on the
home farm-fountains of youth, in

but my footsteps linger by them, and
