PO|NCARE CALLED
IN FRENCH CRISIS
Former Premier May Take
Part in Reorganization
of Government.
By JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Radio to The Star and Chieago Daily
News. Copyright. 1890.
PARIS, France, February l8.-Sud-
denly and amazingly France is without
a government today.
BY a majority of six votes, Andre
Tardieu's Conservative government fell
on an absurdly minor issue last night,
victim to the intransigeance Of the
Radicals, and not only the domestic
politics of France but the international
affairs of Europe and America are
plunged into confusion.
President CASTOR Doumergue is busy
with the usual consultations today, and
has already received Paul Doumer,
President of the Senate, and Fernand
BouisSon, President of the Chamber
All the party chiefs are trekking
through the blizzardly weather tc the
Elysee Palace.
1t is perhaps significant that Presi-
dent Doumergue has fixed an appoint
ment with former Premier Raymond
Poincare this afternoon. 1t was an
nounced today that M. Poincare's in
tended visit to South America had been
Cancelled.
The chief result of the sudden French
crisis is completely to halt all the work
Of the London Naval Conference from
the point Of view of five-power nego-
tiations. Ratification of the Young plar
is also held up, and If the crisis per.
sists, it may have a serious disintegrat-
ing effect on the international relations
OF Great Britain, Italy, Germany anc
even the United States and Japan.

Of war, Andre Maginot, arrived post.

BYRD SHIP SPEEDS
IN LEE OF BARRIER
Blown Far West by Gales,
Vessel Now Makes Good
Time in Open Water.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.
BY Radio to The Star and to the New Y

Times.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica. Feb
ruary 16.-The bark City of New York
is under the lee of the Barrier, but has
been blown far west of her course;
about as far as she could go, as a
matter of fact.
The continuous gales of the past 10
days and the lack of an observation
gave an erroneous idea of her position
Last night she sighted Ross Island
at the western extremity Of the Barrier
and now is working her way eastward
in the comparatively calm water under
the Barrier. the crew chopping OF the
ice which has accumulated in the past
few days.
Worst Passage to Barrier.
It was believed that she was drifting
to the west, but not nearly so far as
Capt. Melville reported this morning.
He has undoubtedly had one Of the
worst passages from the ice pack to
the Barrier ever encountered.
The first message which definitely
showed the position of the ship was re-
ceived by Admiral Byrd last midnight.
1t read:
Weather cleared. We have sighted
land to the westward which We believe
to be Ross Island. We have obviously
been driven much further to the west
ward than We estimated since our last
observations. We are In smoother
water at present, but gale is still at its
height. Will proceed eastward In
shelter of Barrier"
The second message, received this
morning, said
Sails May Aid Speed.
1.-THE gale continued all night and we
were terribly iced up from the effects
OF bucking against it to get up under
the Barrier At present We are under
time and all hands are busily engaged
cleaning ship.
THE weather has changed entirely
since reaching the Barrier, though 1t
appears to be still blowing outside.
Conditions more favorable, and when
we get ship cleared of ice, II wind Is
favorable, We shall make sail also to
expedite quick passage"
Word received by Admiral Byrd said
that the ship was about half a mile of
the Barrier and coming along fairly
well.
Our position is latitude II degrees
43 minutes, longitude I'll degrees 80
minutes east" this message said.
Running along face of Barrier, half
mile off. Smooth, clear water. over

I'VE estimate we have chopped 20
tons ice of headgear alone. It was
fortunate we arrived at the Barrier
when we did"

TO AWAIT SOLUTION

Leaving Only One Alter

MACDONALD WILL MEET
STIMS0N AND GRANDI
Session Excites Interest Due to
Understanding That Italy Is
Preparing Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February ia sudden
change of plans of the French Naval
Conference delegation today resulted
IN Georges Leygues leaving for Paris
IL connection with the French govern
ment crisis. Previously he had been
ordered to stay in London as a con-
ference observer.
The French minister of marine was
accompanied by M. Moisset. one of the
alternate delegates. Rene Massigli the
other alternate, remained here.
Leagues called on Ramsay Macdonald,
British premier, and informed him that
pending solution of the French DO
litical crisis the French delegation
would have to mark time here.
M. Tardieu, BRAND and Pietri will
remain in Paris until new cabinet is
formed.
Consultation Arranged.
While this political monkey wrench
mas damaged the conference machinery
there were still parts of it running to-
Day. though greatly retarded. Prime
Minister Macdonald asked Secretary
Stimson and Foreign Minister Grandt
to meet him this afternoon in the House
OF Commons for a consultation. Inter-
est attached to this meeting particularly
because 1t has been generally under
stood that Grandi has been preparing
to publish a statement of ItalyS posi-
ton. This statement would be, in effect.
an answer to Frances claims for a ton
mage Of $4,000.
The American delegation met this
morning under the leadership of Secre-
tary Stimson and reviewed last nights
conversations with the japanese regard
ing naval ratios. The Americans also
considered the position of the confer
ence as affected by the fall OF the French
cabinet. 1t is understood the Americans
take the view that progress of the con-
ference will not be seriously interfered
with, since it is anticipated the French
will be in position to resume activities
within few days.
Conference Cancelled.
One Of the first effects of the French
crisis was the cancellation of a sched-
uled Franco-American conference, but
the Americans filled in their time with
other matters. There was little surprise
at American headquarters when the
news came that the French cabinet had
fallen, since all day yesterday there
were strong rumors here that a crisis
was pending.
Naturally there was much specula-
ton throughout conference circles re-
garding the complexion of the new
French cabinet. This speculation
turned on the point of whether
another cabinet might be more inclined
to make concessions in the French
claim. In any event, If the new cab
met stands pat on the French demands
for a 724,O00 tonnage and the refusal
to grant Italy parity, it will be doing
no more than the last cabinet did.
