POTH|ER STARTS
HIS SEVENTH Term
Rhode Island Governor Now Is
rs Years Old

Providence. R. L., Feb. IS Up
Aram ]. Pothier, a record break
er in getting elected governor of
the smallest state in the union, is
just beginning his seventh term at
the age Of 70. Only one other gov
ernor, George Clinton OF New York,
Is known here to have served his
state as many terms.
Success has been Gov. Pothiers
partner In business as we'll as pol
itics. He migrated from Quebec
to Woonsocket in 1875 to become a
grocer's clerk, switched to banking
and rose to the presidency of the
Woonsocket Institution for Saw
ings, now one of the richest banks
in Rhode Island.
His first political Job was as
member of the Woonsocket school
committee. He was elected to the
Assembly, and ran for mayor un-
successfully four times. He was
elected the fifth and sixth times.
but refused to run for third term.
He served as lieutenant gov
ernor and as Rhode Islands
commissioner to the International
Exposition at Paris, where he met
Mile FRANCHISE de Charmisny,
whom he later married.
In 1914 Gov. Pothier "quit pol
itics for good" after his fifth term
as governor. In 1922, however, a.
Democrat was elected governor.
and Pothier's Republican support
ers called upon him to lead his par
ty to victory in 1924. He was re-
elected for his seventh term last
fall. He will have served ten
years as governor when this term
is completed.

HOLDS PRESIDENTS
POLICY DECEPTIVE
Byrns Says First Budget Es-
Inmates Are Deliberately
Made Inadequate.
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Coolidge was accused to
day by Representative Byrns of Ten
nessee, ranking Democrat on the
House appropriations committee, of
practicing deceptive policy" in the
submission of budget estimates to
Congress.
In "A speech prepared for delivery ii
the House the Tennesseean declared
that in many instances the appropria
tons requested in the original
estimates are insufficient to carry on
the activities of the Government and
at the time of submission 1t lis clear
- iy understood that the necessary
amounts will be carried in deficiency
bills, to be passed at a later session"
Cites Army Measure.
THE action of the President, on
February 3, in increasing the ration
allowance of the Army is a striking
example," he said. THE result is that
the regular annual appropriations
show lesser amount than is actual
ly required or expected to be appro-
priated. and the administration takes
credit for economies which are wholly
fictitious.
In his budget submitted to Congress
December the President asked for a
ration allowance or 30 cents Tor the
Army. In a letter printed in the
Army and Navy Journal December 8
he said he was convinced that his
estimate would provide adequately
for the service. and an economic adj
ministration would assure we'll fed
and disciplined Army.
Committee Raised Sum.

dents estimate to 40 cents per man

Cured with the House committee on
February 3, and on the very same
day, without advising Congress so
that the increase might be included
In the Regular Army appropriation
bill, the President issued his order in
creasing the allowance to 501a cents.
This will result in a deficiency of
$4,250,o00 in the 1928 appropriation
and will have to be carried in a de.
ficiency bill next December. In the
meantime, the President gets credit

FRENCH COLONY MENACED.
Agitation Spreads Into Indo- China
Where Force Is Small.

BY Cable to The Star. and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1927.
PARIS, February 24.-With the
spread of Chinese Nationalist agita
ton into Yunnan Province, which bor-
ders on French Indo-China, the French
press is beginning to express anxiety
over the fate of this large and rich
colony. which now Is in full process
Of development.
Unlike other powers, which have
merely certain rights in Chinese treaty
ports, France has an actual Chinese
colony. Hitherto. Indo-China has
given practically no trouble and the
number of French troops there Is al
most absurdly small. But In the last
few years the presence Of Nationalist
and Communist agitators has been re-
ported repeatedly. 1t is known that
Russian propaganda has been working
there systematically.
1t is considered doubtful whether
France, with her greatly reduced
navy and its lack Of troops on the
spot, could offer sufficient resistance
if the Nationalist movement in Indo-
China fiared up seriously. Fears are
