 Tokio, Oct. 6-There is a rumor discussed in well-informed circles, that Admiral Baron Kato desires to rehnquish the Premiership as soon as posNb Some say he will resign this Fall; others say at the end of the Diet in the Spring. The Pre- mier's wishs it is said, comes from his keen interest in the development or constitutional party government and his desire not to retard that lib- eral progress by keeping a bureau cratic Ministry in power longer than Is necessary. Such rumors appear highly probable viewed in the light of the avowed progressive policies Of the Premier.
 Should Admiral Kato resign before such is necessitated by Diet action it will be another severe blow at the Genro. When Marquis Matsukata, the Elder Statesman, placed the Navy Minister at the head of the Cabinet table it was with the admission that the Ministry was merely a stopgap arrangement. The powers behind the curtain, however. knew the man they had picked was strong with the public and with the parties; they de- pended upon him to secure com forta ble coalition majority in the Diet. as he is a member of no faction. And being stanch believers in the ad Vantages of bureaucratic administra- ton they hoped his Cabinet would be able to carry on indefinitelq.
 His Party Support
 There has been no secret of the fact that the Seiyukai consented to Kato's selection as means of giv- ing them time to rebuild the party fences and resume the governmental reigns. The Premier has the avow- ed support of the party, but just as soon as Is wished that party can vote him from power When Admiral Kato moved to the Prenier's residence {

Paris, Oct. 6---France's plan to have Germany work out her repara- ton debt by building hydro-efectric stations has resulted in storm of protest from the devastated areas For two years Germany has been at tempting to arrange for an army of German worknen to come into North ern France and rebuild the country she devastated. Up to now the two Governments have not been able to come to satisfactory arrangements. Germany claims that French repara- profit from the business or it won't be done.
 Object to Old Foes.
 'FWe cannot ask the people who have suffered so much from the in vader to permit German workmen to enter in great numbers in their midst" is the statement OHM. Poin- care "We cannot ask them to face the possibility of seeing in the work man today the expressing Prussian non-commissioned officer of yester- day"
 The Minister of Public Works, Le TroGuer, then had the plans drawn Up for elaborate dams and electric power stations to be built in central and southern France: Immediately a howl went up from the refugees, who are still Hvino in cellars and wooden barracks Their organization sent protest to Premier Poincare and de- manded an audience to present their claims in person

was assumed that the Seiyukai want ed him to retain his place for at least year, perhaps longer. As yet there is little to indicate that the party will withdraw its support in the House of Repre reSent ta atives, and it cannot do so before the Diet meets for business in January.
 Considered thus it appears that the Premier's motives are sincere in that he desires to assist in developing party government, which really re- ceived its first encouraging growth under Premier Hara. Possibly the veteran navy man desires to be adopt ed by the Seiyukai; possibly he would rather get away from Government affairs in order to devote all his time to his grandchildren. To one who knows Premier Kato both sound log ical, but it is too soon to foreten what will happen
 Wuld Fulfill Agreement.
 The greatest desire of the Premier however, is to see fu1hllment of the Washington conference treaties by Ja- pan to the very last letter He steared Japan's future through the conference and saved his country ratification of the agreements and their signature by the Prince Regent; respecting China he has started the wheels to turning which rob Japan of spect and friendship; he has had many of the ships to be scrapped lowed to the junkyards and their tur- rets removed pending acceptance of the treaties by all Powers.
 Whether he will be able to go
 much farther is unknown. Japan, branded with the downfall of Ger many as the most naillitaristic Power remaining, now looks at France with rapidly increasing doubt.

 But this time the pigeon is ready; his indignant, throaty naunblings have become accelerated. He meets together, kitty c1asping the pigeon in his front paws, sometimes even gently closing his mouth over his pIaymate's head or neck; but there has never been the sfckening crunch that would spell the end of the pigeons earthly career.
 For weeks, Alfonso says, the two have played together. Sometimes it is the pigeon who from his perch spies kitty asleep and pounces down, thus starting their game.
 Alfonso, while not clairaing to be a prophet still rather gloomily antici- oates that the day will eventually come when kitty will have fresh pig con for dinner.

Gatico was a most amiable and gentle creature, and played much after the manner of the ordinary variety of a cat. Although Gatico was a little more rugged in her rompings, she was never vicious, Miss Harlan said.
 Gatico was captured by James B. Ballinger in the jungles of the Mag dalena river, in South America, and brought to the United States with a view to training her for motion pie ture work. She was half tiger and half leopard, and measured four feet from the top of her nose to the tip of her tail! She weighed 30 pounds.

Wilson in order to avert from them
selves political consequences which they
feared.
THE Irish people want a republic.
They do not want an English King as
their King or an English Governor
General or an English Privy Councillor
as legal supervisors. Under threat of
a renewal of the infamous war, many
of our people have been induced to give
an appearance of submission, but there
are men and women who will not SUBJ

an allegiance which 1t Is not their in

POINCARE GETS BIG
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Chamber Supports His Reply
to Communist Attack by .
532 to 65.

PARIS, July (Associated Press).-
Premier Poincare tonight received the
support of the Chamber of Deputies by
a vote of 532 to 65. This expression OF
confidence in the Government was given
after the close Of the debate on the
question of Responsibilities for the
war initiated by the Communists. The
motion adopted expressed the Chamber S
intense contempt for the calumnious
campaign organized for Germany's
profit to escape the responsibilities for
the war, despite the evidence of facts
and the ayowals contained in the signed
treaty of Versailles and confirmed by
the Reichstag."

Gordon Drawn Around Ruips.

DUBLIN, July (Associated Press) -
During the day great crowds visited the
scenes of the fighting, but a Gordon was
drawn to prevent approach to the build
ings, only the shells of which are stand
ing and are in danger of falling at any
moment. From the ruins from time to
time an explosion Is heard, caused by
ammunition abandoned by the insur-
gents. The firemen's efforts prevents
the fire from destroying the Nelson pil-
lar. The banks reopened to-day, and
the Stock Exchange will open again on
Monday.
There is still no definite news of De
Valera. The Eveni,g Telegraph says 1t
was freely rumored In Bray, suburb of
Dublin. that De Valera has been wound

Father Dominic. chaplain of the Repub-
lican Guard, passed through the mill
tary lines in Bray Tuesday night in a
motor car flying the Red Cross fiay.
Father Dominic is reported to have vis-
tied De Valera's house at Greystcnes.

from the provinces show that over the

missar for Finance. made the above
statement TO the press shortly after
the arrival here to-day Of Leonid kras-
sine. Russia's financial expert, who will
participate in the joint discussion with
European experts
Pressed for details concerning the
treatment to be accorded appropriated
property, NJ. Sokolnikoff said that the
compromise depended on the nature of
the general accord to be reached, but
said that in general the Sovie. Govern
ment was disposed to return part Of the
property seized to former owners in
the form of leases. He permitted ii

fiscated property would be handed to

Chance May Not Recur.
Sokonikoff issued a warning that
Russia's harvest would be so good this
year and life in general In Russia
which is an agricultural country. would
be so improved that at a later date
the Powers would not receive such
favorable terms from Russia as at pres
ent. 1t Is not question of Commun-
ism. but of the national interest OF
Russia. he said. The interest on the
national debt is 350.0oo.O00 gold rubles
yearly and the great peasant masses
of Russia would never consent to pay
ment of this interest unless they could
be assured that credits would be forth
coming for the regeneration Of their
country.
The figures for the Soviet budget
for the first nine months of 1922 showed
that the paper money issued amounted
to 271 ooo. 100000 rubles. The revenue for
the same period was estimated at s94.-
100000 gold rubles and the expenditure
at about 1,132, 100000
NJ Sokolnikoff charged that certain
countries represented at The Hague
were trying to wreck the conferences
by arguing that any help given now
to the Soviet Government would only
continue it's existence. and that a re-
fusal OF credits would hasten the
Soviet's downfall. He declared this to
be a great Illusion, since the Soviet
Government had witnessed the down
fall of many other governments since
II came into power In 1917,
Counting upon our downfall is an
evanescent dream which will not come
true" he continued. III credits are
