Poincare's Resignation Gesture
Unimportant at This Time.

The "Poincare gesture" in sub
mitting his resignation as premier of
France only Immediately to withdraw
it. interests American editors chiefly
a emphasizing that the present head
of the government faces real oppo-
sition at home. His retirement is
taken as certain, editors seem con-
vinced and the only question seems
to be when it may be compelled.
"A large section of France" says
the Youngstown vindicator, 'fs skep-
tical of Poincare's policy. just as vir-
tually all England and America are.
Such incidents as this show that there
is 4restlessness among the French
themselves" The act was impul-
sive," as the Brooklyn Eagle sees it,
and has no immediate bearing on
French foreign relations, because
France is committed to the Poincare
German policy, and at present there
Is no alternative but to back him up.
This opinion is not shared by the
Chattanooga News, which feels, while
the question raised did not concern
closely related to it. An impression
is growing that the results flowing
from that imperial venture are alto
gether inadequate, in view of the cost
hand complications involved. Presi-
dent Millerand,is an extremist of the
to be convinced that the country is
firing Of the enterprise. Other SEN
sational developments may occur at
any time" 1t was wise on Poin-
tion, the Memphis Commercial Ap.
peal believes, because, retirement
"would have been accepted by the
Germans as a failure. Poincare is
the man finally to drive it into the
minds Of the Germans that they must
bility for their part In the war
wreckage."
The Arkansas Democrat suggests
the strain Of the Ruhr adventure has
given Poincare and his colleagues IAN
attack of nerves" but it is con-
yinced that his power Still is SUI
preme in France. Poincare and pres
sure will continue to be the French
policy, and it seems that the premier
has little to fear because the senate
this may be so, the Nashville Banner
is convinced "the world IL not with
Poincare. 1t came to Frances rescue
and saved her from Teutonixation
But this same world Is not ready tc
submit to a similar policy by ths
generally condemned. It looks like
the beginning Of the end of Poincare
and his merciless, greedy and venge-
full campaign" The resignation. the
Cincinnati Times sharply insists, was
a gesture. and gesture the cabine,
knew would be frustrated by the re-
fusal of President Miflerand to ac.
cept the designations. Poincare was

What a growth has come into the
financial worlds Imagination since
the war began. When European
commissioners first appeared in Amer
lea with a request for a loan of a
billion dollars, the amount seemed so
huge as to stagKer even our biggest
bankers, and the floating Of the loan
was an epochal event. No financial
transaction of that size had ever be-
fore been known even in government
circles. Later deals running up to an
aggregate of ten or twelve billions,
have somewhat accustomed the public
to think in billions, with no more awe
than was formerly shown in the
transactions of millions.
Finally, the climax of stupendous
finance comes when a billion dollars
is bid in a single purchase-the mer-
chant fleet Of the government-and a
proposed deposit, on account. OF mil
lion dollars, while the details of the
sale are being worked out.
The bid Is said to come from a
comparatively unknown business man
who makes stamp-cancelling ma

An Arctic expedition is en- route

approach of another ice age. Seamen
have reported that the ice cap of the
Arctic zone has descended farther

more icebergs in the ocean than in
previous seasons. Imaginative folks
have also inferred that the present
cold spring and summer indicates
refrigeration of the north.

Rubber From MilkWeed.

1t is reported from Detroit that I
Henry Ford and Thomas a. Edison
are now at work on joint experiments
on the milkweed in the hope Of pro.
ducing from that common product Of
the fields a practicable rubber. This
Is not a new line of research. Others
have tried, but for some reason have
failed to effect the economical treat
ment OF the juice of the plant. Any
body can make little piece of rubber
by plucking milkweed stem, squeez-
ing out the juice in the palm Of the
hand and then manipulating it with
the finger until it finally becomes a
summy pellet. But laboratory expert
ments heretofore have been unsatis.

source has not been Of a proper con-
sistency, and has cost more than that
obtained from the tropical trees.
1t would be a remarkable advance in
industry IL the Ford Edison expert
ments yield a satisfactory rubber.
Milkweed can be grown anywhere in
this country on almost any k!nd or
land. 1t is a perennial. and can yield
more than one crop a year. Indeed.
milkweed cultivation could be so or
canized as to produce an abundant
supply of juice Immediately within
factory range, and maybe while they
are about it Ford and Edison may find
a way to use the fibers of the stalks,
which are possibly of value in certain
fabric making and possibly also the
seeds and the cottonlike fluff that car
rles them on their propagating jour-
neys. If this can be done the milk

garded by farmers as a nuisance.

Annual Music Club
Concert Proved to
Be Very Delightful

The third annual Sacred Concert
to be given by members of the
Thursday Musical club yesterday at
the Eltinge theatre was presented be-
fore a we'll filled house. The pro-
gram was unusually interesting, each
number being particularly we'll suit
cd TO the performer.
Tho chorus numbers given by all
the members of the club were dis
tinctive by their rythmic and me-
lody of tone for so many voices.
Real singing beauty as well as vol
ume was produced by the club men,
bers. A novelty feature was the in
PRODUCTION Of pipe organ and piano
accompaniment during the after
moons program with Miss Lesher at
the organ and Mrs. Hughes at the
piano.
Giving variety and EXCHANGING the
charm Of the program were the or
gan, numbers and solo and duet work.
Harry Wagner of Bismarck and Mrs.
Morgan Morris of Mandan showed
themselves skilled organists in the
beautiful selections which they gave
while Mrs. w. J. Targart, Mrs. John
Larson, George Humphreys and Mrs.
John Graham as soloists and Mrs.
Frank Barnes, Mrs. D. G. Scothorn.
Mrs. A. j. Arnot, and Mrs. Morris.
Mrs. Bauer and Mr.. Humphreys in
duet and quartettc numbers appear
ed at their best in songs well suited
to their type Of voice and style OF
singing. In fact much of the charm
of the program was due to the tact
that the singers gave selections
suited to themselves and into which
they gave, something of their own
personality in rendering.
The singers were aided in doing
their best by the assistance the &C
companists. Mr.. Wagner, Mrs. Hughes
and NJ SIS Lcsher, in appearing al
their best.
Among thu out of town visitors
who had notorcd down for the con-
cert were Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Ste.
wart and family and some friends
from Wilton.
Approximately $50 was obtained
by the silver Offering which was tax.

members of the Thursday Music club
have given an annual concert fol
three years, the money obtained in
this way being used for some
worthy purpose.

Al THE MOVIES
CAPITOL

CAFlTOL
Scheduled for presentation at the
Capitol Theatre tonight is the Fred
Niblo production, "The Famous Mrs
Fair, photoplay version Of a play
which has been acknowledged as one
of the most important contributions
of many years to the book of the
American drama. If the success
which it won as a stage play is any
criterion for judgment, the picture
should prove an unqualified success
and there is every reason to await
the pictures coming with the great
est expectation.
James Forbes, distinguished Amer.
lean playwright, is the author of the
stage play. In it the celebrated play
ers Henry Miller and Blanche Bates
were seen for an entire year or
, Broadway, and for two years after
wards they toured the United States
in it, winning approval on every side
Everywhere it was greeted as real
ly significant drama of American
home life, and it presented pro-
blem which is still vital and still
unsolved.
