Marcel Cachin ana other defendants

state arc TO be tried by the court as
soon as the examining magistrates
has prepared tho case.
Premier Poincnra's position remain
unchanged, for he will undoubtedly
get another vote Of confidence in tho
senate and probably in the chamber
of deputies also. Tho person Who
comes out Of the crisis most advant-
ageously is President Mllerand.
whose reputation for horse sense
has been grsatly enhanced by the en-
ergy and decision with which he
handled tho incident.
He informed NJ. Poincaro that IL

alton TO resign h president would

two and send a message to parIia-
ment in order to give the country an
explanation OF why a government. en-
joying the answering support Of n
majority OF tho citizen. should with.
draw Mt a moment when the vital
reparations question was approaching
a decisive stage.
Premier Poinchre's attitude in yes
terday's situation called for consider.
able criticism. Even some OF his most
ardent supporters cd that although

thing else. The home policy ought
not to be left merely to lobby plots
and parliamentary traps.

With adjournment Of Congress
slightly more than five weeks away,
and with President Harding adamant
In his desire not to have a special
session this spring, the ship SUBJ
sidy bill, which he has supported
more strongly than any other piece
of legislation, today seemed doomed
to certain defeat.
There is understood to be q,
tacit ''gentlemen's agreement" be.
tween Administration and Demo
cratic Senators to allow the bill to
remain pending on the floor, which
virtually means it's death.
Enactment Abandoned.
AS a matter of political expedi.
ency, however, efforts will be made
to keep the measure constantly be-
fore the Senate, though plans look
ing toward expediting it's enactment
have been abandoned.
AS partial PREPARATION for side
tracking the Presidents pet" Iegis.
lative measure in favor Of other
and more generally acceptable bills,
Democrats, as result Of this un-
derstanding. will not press the
Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
And strangely enough, Mr.. Hard
ing Is now represented as being
reconciled to loss Of the bill.
Despite the speed with which both
branches have disposed OF big sup.
ply bills, the House having broken q
record Of twenty years standing in
this regard, the Senate calendar Is
becoming more and more loaded.
Three appropriation bills remain;
one, the army bill, will precipitate
a big row on the floor because Of
the addition by the House Of the
S56. OOO, 900 amendment for rivers
and harbors. The Senate ''small
army" group also will attempt to
slash the authorization for a per-
sonnet Of $4,000 men. ..
