PARIS. January 21.-The Poin-
care ministry is probably only
transitional.
Considering its beginning. it will
probably have a thousand difficult
ties. But after it you will see
come into power the homogeneous
group of men who fought the war
and they will defend Frances
rights, inscribed in the treaties, as
they defended the trenches before
the German hordes.
We Frenchmen are much less
light than you Americans used to
think. Remember that we aston
ished you at Verdun. We are go
ing to astonish you in peace also.
My readers foresaw Brands fall,
which l predicted ten weeks ago
amid general incredulity.
Let me add that all others will
fall who forget that the French
people mean to have their treaty
rights respected.

United States to speak to Amer

to judge France by stupid calum-
nies. We want our rights respect

FRENCH RESENT BOOK.
Written by Negro Au-

Copyright, 1922.
PARIS. January 21.-"Batoula," the
book awarded last years Goncourt
prize for young authors, is arousing
bitter hostility against the author,
Rene Marah, a young Negro, and
against Goncourt Academy. All read
ers are dissatisfied because the book,
one the one hand, attacks European
rule over African blacks and on the
other hand presents an unflattering
picture of negro life and customs.
Educated negroes assert that the
book represents their race as little
better than monkeys. The French are
angry, first, because they believe the
academy has favored a foreigner
while overlooking superior French
works; second. because the book. they
claim, contains outrageous attacks on
white domination and invites the
blacks to refuse doing military serv-
ice, and, third, because the Germans
are getting full propaganda value
from the volume. enabling them to
say to the world: Behold the AMI

PARIS, January 20.-France Is
skeptical about the reconstruction OF
Russia. When Millerand heard that
at Cannes BRAND had accepted the
invitation to participate in the inter-
national conference at Genoa for the
economic reconstruction Of Europe,
he telegraphed Immediately:
''It is not without regret and ap-
prehension that l learn Of your de-
cision to go and sit at a conference
opposite Lenin."
That was the opening Of the late
ministerial crisis. There are some
80 per cent of Frenchmen who share
the apprehension and regrets of their
president, and not ten in a thousand
who believe the famous conference at
Genoa can result In anything reason
able or practical
Russia Can Buy Nothing.
May 1 explain why? The confer
ence. they inform us, suggests the
economical reconstruction Of Ger

is buying and selling. What can
Russia buy? Nothing since she has
no money to pay with. Her rulers
have gold which belonged to the
state and has printed banknotes by
the hundreds and the billions. Last
week on the Moscow exchange the
gold ruble was worth 100000 soviet
rubles.
Furthermore, they have declared
that when one dealt with capitalists
there is no obligation to keep ones
word. This prevents them from buy
ing on credit. for when one buys on
credit guarantees must be given, and
what guarantees can the soviet give:
what can Russia sell? Almost nothing,
since she herself lacks everything.
Has Great Natural Wealth.
However, people say that Russia
has mines, forests and natural wealth.
natural wealth must first be exploited,
enormous materials must be sent out
there and then transports are needed
At will be necessary to make use OF
railroads and roads.
Now there are no roads in Russia
and three quarters of the Russian
railroads have been entirely de-
stroyed. In order to re-establtsh them
and put them in proper operation
again, years, millions Of dollars and
workmen willing to work are needed
not according to communist methods,
but the methods of civilized states.
Where are the millions to come
from, where can workmen be found?
No one having so far given a. satis-

tions, the French shrug their shoul-

therefore, rather surprising that the

marriage to Horace G. Daw. which was
forced by a kiss
When the action against Dow was

Dow into entering the ceremony. She
had kissed him in hammock and, she
alleged, she married him because he
threatened to tell about the kissing epi-
sode.
When asked by Judge TomplSns II
she married through fear simply be-
cause of the harmless occurrence at the
party, Mrs. Dow declared that her
parents were very strict and she was
afraid of them learning of it.

Mrs. Dow had informed the court at the
