Rene Viviani Wins Personal Triumph

Rene Viviani, former premier Of
France, Is a socialist. During the
last hours Of peace before the World
war, he ordered the withdrawal of
the French army by ten miles from
the frontier. For that he has been
criticized severely and his action has
been more or less of cloud on his
recent political life.
This withdrawal order brought
about a sensational scene in the
French chamber the other day. A
debate was on, provoked by the per-
sistent Communist campaign Of cal
jimmy against Premier Poincare for
alleged responsibility for bringing on
the war. Viviuni suddenly appeared
on the left side of the chamber, where
he has rarely been seen for several
months.

FEW BUCKS NOW IN U. S. ARMY
Number of Trained Doughboys Has
Been Reduced, Bringing Total to
Not More Than 10000.

Doughboys-just plain buck privates

scarce in the regular army as shave
tails were some time ago. Every time
there is a reduction In the size of the
army, the number of buck privates Is
very perceptibly cut down. At the
present time, 1t is said that there are
not more than 10000 plain, unspecial-

United States army. There are only
1887 men in all branches Of the foot
regiments while there were more than
