Wind, that is the way blow, but
If you do not like my way l will be

in another direction"
Before the Weathercock could reply.

Rene Vivian 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 a 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
umny against Premier Poincare for
alleged responsibility for bringing on
the war. Vivlani suddenly appeared
on the left side of the chamber where
he has rarely been seen for several
months

sible for what happened in 1914, 1t
