Test Vote in French
Deputies Indicates
Mastery of POincare

Paris, Dec. 6.-(By A. P.l-Premier
Poincare making the adoption of the
ELECTORAL reform bill a question of
confidence in the Chamber of De-
puties, today won a notable victory
with majority figures of 40S to 127.
He thus. reversed the minority vote
of go to 295 given on the same
measure in the chamber last Tues
day. which is taken as an indication
that Poincare Yields as much au-
thority in parliament on questions
of internal politics as on those of
foreign policy.
The chamber has been laundering
in a maze of electoral law plans,
counterplans, amendments and sub
amendments for nine entire sittinss,
when suddenly the Premier, abandon
ed his mild remonstrances, -arose
and uttered few sentences, in
which the word confidence was re-
peated.
Before parliament realized It, the
ballots were cast and the bill was
passed.
The law which will govern the
1924 elections, according to the new
measure reads:
Elections will take place upon
balloting for list system. The cleo
toral quotient will be determined by
dividing the number of votes cast
by the number of deputies to be
elected. The average of each list
Will be obtained by dividing the mum.

Chicago Produce Market

Cnlcdgo Dec. 6.
Wheat declined in price today imme-
diately after President Coolidges ref
erences to agriculture became public
here. The action of the market was
generally ascribed to increased selling
based on opinions that the message
was less bullish regarding wheat than
for. Wheat closed unsettled, a shade
to &c net lower, December 1.043 to 1.O4i
"a and May 1.10s to 1.I03 Corn fin.
lshed at shade decline to &c advance,
oats shade to &c of, and provisions
varying from 12c lower to zoe gain.
According to some observers, the
enlarged selling which took place in
the wheat market as soon as the SUBJ
stance of the presidents message was
known appeared to be much in the ma.
ture of profit-taking on the part of pur-
chasers who earlier in the day had act

might be. it was certain that the wheat
market. which temporarily had been
advancing. dropped 1c to 1Sc a bushel
within Is minutes after the text Of
what the president said about the
grain situation had been printed by the
to the brokerage houses around the
board of trade.
A moderate rally from the days low
est prices for wheat ensued in the hour
ana nalr which came prior to the
finish Of trading. In some quarters this
recovery was explained as being more
or less due to predictions which were
current that the general effect Of the
presidents message would be to stimu-
late confidence that would be reflected
in the stock market and by grain as
well.
Firmness of the corn market was in
some degree the result Of a little ex-
port business. Oats were steadied by
the action of corn.
Notwithstanding weakness Of hog
values, provisions averaged higher ow-
ing to dearth of Offerings.

What are the advantages of
the short over the long passing
game?
Answered by
w. E. MEANWELL

Coach. University of Wisconsin, in
ventor of the short passing game, the
crss-cros attack and the five man
defense. Always has a. dangerous
and leading team in the Conference.
The advantages of the short over
the long pass attack are to my
mind very decided. Cd The short
pass game throws two forwards, a
center and one guard, four men,
into every attack. CD 1t concen-
trates the men in close proximity
to the ball and SO assures the best
chance of securing the very frequent
loose" ball. CD The grouped men
are chiefly in the center of the floor,
rather than the corners. and so are
in excellent position, not only for
attack. but to swing back into five
man. two line defense position in
simultaneously on losing the ball,
thus insuring a strong defense. ca
1t is the form of attack that can be
started better from the two line
position assumed for defense posi-
ton than can the long pass game.
90 Short passes are more accurate,
faster. and more difficult to inter
cept than long ones. Thus the short
pass team retains the ball for a
greater proportion of the game than
does the long pass one. and pos
session of the ball is absolutely the
hest defense known. co The short
pass game develops closer coopera-
ton and team play and eliminates
the star long shot. (O Because the
ball is brought close to goal before
being shot, almost every one on the
team can be delegated to do the
shooting. This does away with the
one-man sharp shooter and makes
the team doubly dangerous in that
ali are scorers.

Hull Can Find No
Word of Praise for
Presidents Message

Washington, Dec. 6.-President
Coolidge's message to Congress is
''stand-pat" and "reactionary," Cor
dell Hull, chairman of the Democrat
National committee, declared in a
statement tonight. Its outstanding
feature, he asserted 'is bid for the
presidential nomination in 1924 and
the support of the predatory special
interests in the, campaign to follow"
and it treats only of symptoms and
of these in most perfunctory man
ner."
1.-THE message" Mr.. Hull added.
will please the special interests and
strengthen President Coolidge's
chance for the nomination"
Instead of visualizing," the state
ment said land analyZlng develop
ments and conditions. political. eco
nomic and social, since the war, af-
fecting the welfare of the nation at
home and abroad requiring legisla-
tive action. and suggesting progress
sive remedies therefor. President
Coolidge has said that the greatest
opportunity of his life of political
eXpediency is by delivering a mes
sage to Congress the outstanding
feature of which is bid for the
presidential nomination in 1924 and
the support of the predatory special
interests in the campaign to fol-
low.
Neither in it's references to ma
tional or international affairs is there
a human note in the message. The
peroration contains some sentimental
platitudes about our duties and res
possibilities, but offers no plan or
way of meeting the responsibilities
of performing the duties, and this af-
ter three years of Republican admin
istration control.
Readers of the message will not
be able to reconcile the recommends
lions for tax reductions with Presi-
dent Coolidge's endorsement of the
present protiteers tariff act. the lat
ter of which takes $400O,000,0 900 a
year out of the pockets of the peo-
pie and puts $3,500.000.000 of that
in the pockets of the profiteers and
only S500,000,O00 in the treasury. The
President says the tariff act has
been productive of an Astounding
prosperity" Certainly not to the peo-
pie who pay the S4,000,000,000 tariff
taxes.
TO the farmer living in bank
ruptcy and despair, he offers no
substantial or permanent relief, de-
'claring that for the most part agri-
culture is successful Let the mil
lions of bankrupt or impoverished
American farmers comment on this
astounding statement.
1T was not to be expected that
the message would repudiate the
world court proposal of President
Coolidge's predecessor and of his
own secretary of state but the Presi-
dent is unable to offer any other
foreign policy of his own.
THE message contains not a para
graph in recognition of labor. Either
no reference or no remedy is offered
with respect to high prices-except
for most farm products-high fuel.
high freight rates. high rent, whole
sale protiteering. and general high
cost of living. 1t is also silent on the
wholesale jobbery and corruption that
today scandalize many departments
of the government"
