 VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Nation Tries Desperately to Stem Great Out

PARIS, Nov. 26.-Premier La-
 val today yielded to demands of
 Leftists fer disbanding Nation
 alist forces, such as the War
 Veterans Croix de Ecu, to save
 France and defend his Cabinet
 against a threat of overthrow.
 The Cabinet agreed on proposal now pending in Parliament to appeal to the Chamber of Deputies patriot ism for an immediate discussion of Lavals financial measures. The Pre- mier will demand an immediate vote of confidence for his decree.
 The proposed financial laws are intended to defend France against currency speculation and budget un- certainty, which are now causing a heavy outflow of gold from the na- ton.
 Entire Nation Tense
 The nation was tense as the oTdn~ for dissolution of the Croix de Ecu and other militant organizations was given, for they have been the center of controversy for some time. Left ists charged that their hold over the government almost constituted Fas- sism, and that the nation was head ed for rule by an armed oligarchy.
 Laval until today tried to steer a middle course between the militar- ists and the left wing, but the grow Ing rise in power of the latter, cou- pied with his dire need of immediate support in the present financial cris- is, made his swing necessary.
 Paris expects rioting and blodshed today or tomorrow, when police will attempt to make the various organ izations evacuate their meeting halls. Leaders of the groups loudly con- demned the decree, and hinted that they would continue as secret organ izations and effect reprisals

NEW LINER TO CARRY
ELABORATE LIFEBOATS

GLASGOW P.-When the huge
British liner Queen Mary hits the
open sea in 1896 she will carry elabo-
rate lifeboats.
Eight 145-passenger steel craft are
being designed to swing from the
Queen Mary's davits. They will be
fireproof and carry wireless, water and
food sufficient for a week and a gallon
of fish oil.
The latter item is included, the de-
signer says, for calming rough
waters" but experts say it is difficult
to vision one gallon of oil calming
more than two or three good sized
waves.
