"A opportunities"
APPEAL ABANDONED
Associated Charities Act on
Advice of Chest Budget
Committee.

There will be no appeal for the "l4
Christmas Opportunities" of the Asso-
ciated Charities and Citizens Relief
Association this year. Walter S. Ufford,
general secretary, announced yesterday.
Acting under the official advice o.
the budget committee of the Community
Chest" said Mr.. Ufford, "the Associated
Charities has abandoned the Christmas
opportunity appeal for a group of ii
specially selected families needing relief.
The board of managers of the society
accept without question the opinion Of
the budget committee that the appeal
at this time would seem to interfere
with the principle of immunity of
Community Chest contributors from
further solicitation from its member
agencies. The society hopes, however,
that any persons who have been inter-
ested in particular families, but who
are not contributors to the Community
Chest, will still remember without solicit
tation the family needs of the society,s
clients"
When the Civilian Club learned that
this Christmas opportunity appeal was
not to be renewed, it expressed its dis
appointment. as its members had plan
ned this year 20 take under it's care
one of the IA needy families. The club
then invited Miss Louise o. Bsall, as
Sistant secretary Of the Associated
Charities and in charge of its family
work, to tell them at their last luncheon
meeting about the needs of particular
families. After Miss Beall's talk the
Civitan Club voted an appropriation of
$500, and this amount has since been
received by the society, with instruc-
tions to have it distributed among five
families who would otherwise have been
included in the Christmas appeal, or
500 for each family.
Contributions Received.
Meanwhile District visitors of the As
ISOLATED Charities received a variety
OF unsolicited contributions Yesterday,
to be used to brighten the homes of
needy families.
Miss Helen P. Story supervisor of the
societys family work in the Eastern
district, was advised by the Worac Club,
composed of wives of the men at the
Red Cross headquarters, that they would
lend their cars to distribute the things
thus provided. This motor service Will
be available all day Monday and Tues

of China's intentions for peaceful

ence in permitting all Chinese diplo-
matte officials to leave Russia safely.
The conSul-generars departure oc-
Cured a day after he conferred at
Changchun with Chinese officials
concerning the ailWay dispute.
Reports from Dairen said because
of the passive attitude of the Soviet

Dictator Chang Hsuehliang OF
Manchuria had instructed Chinese
Eastern railway administration to
assume 9 pssssyie attitude toward
Russia.
Chinese reports were quoted to the
effect Russia had massed $4,000

Kalgan is regarded as the northern

turmoil of Washington for the quiet
OF his Virginia fishing retreat, con-

Since the Presidents departure

to officials here there is a wide

of any vessel herein authorized to

ending June 30, 1923 or 1880, is not
undertaken in that fiscal year, such
construction may be undertaken in
the next succeeding fiscal year.
The President, it was said at the
White House, is convinced this

FRANCE MAY
NAME BRAND
new PREMIER
Poincare Quits His Post
Despite Pleas That He
Remain at Job.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
limited Press Staff Cnrresnondcnt

PARIS, July 27.-Raymond Poin-
care resigned as premier of the
French republic today, in spite OF
the pleas OF his colleagues that he
remain at the head of the govern
! ment.
After Poincare refused to be
sWayed from his in1exible determi-
nation to resign, the whole French
cabinet handed in its resignation to
President Doumergue.
Aristide BRAND, minister of for
eign affairs, and Louis Barthou,
minister of justice, visited the pre-
mier at his home in an effort to
induce him to withdraw his resigna-
ton. They pleaded with Poincare
for twenty-fi five minutes. When they
saw that their efforts we're futile
they departed for Elysee palace,
where they conferred with President
Doumergue,
BRAND May Take Place
In keeping with tradition, Presi-
dent Doumergue summoned the
presidents of the senate and the
chamber of deputies to ElySee
palace for a conference today re-
garding the choice of new pre-
nier for the republic and the for
nation of a new cabinet.
The United Press authoritatively
was informed that the President
would summon BRAND this evening
| to form a new government. It was
asserted also that in the event
BRAND is chosen for the task he
would include radicals and radical
socialists in his government.
BRAND and Doumergue conferred
fer thirty minutes at the Elysee
palace, after which they both told
the United Press that BRAND and
Barthou had pressed Poincare earn
estly to remain at the head of the
government, but that he was
staunch in his refusal.
Worn from his campaign to in
duce the parliament to ratify the
war debt agreements between
France and her principal creditors
the United States and Great Brit
ain, and faced by an operation for
prostate trouble, Poincare was de-
termined in his resolve to resign
from the head of the government.
Needs Absolute Rest
The former premier told Barthou
and BRAND that much as he desired
to collaborate with them in the
restoration of France his health
demanded that he resign from his
post and rest for several months
He saided he needed absolute rest, a
thing he could not get. he explained.
if he remained premier. even in
actively.
The crisis came at a, time when
the opposition parties we're meet
| ing to consider possibility Of send
ing a petition to the president to
hold a special session of the cham
Der of deputies.
The manner in which the dcbt
accord ratifications we're "rait-
roaded throught" the chamber and
senate. and the alleged dictatorial
way in which Minister of JusticS
Barthou closed the session Friday
we're said to have united all the
radical members of the left groups
with the result that they may de-
mand representation in the next
/ cabinet.
The issues at stake on the eve
of the international conference, it
was said today. require tacit con-
tinuance of the program mapped
/ ont by Poincare.
