LA PAZ, Bolivia, March 26.-R)
A hard-fisted army general today

full of loyal officers and smashed a
budding military revolt which gov
eminent sources said was aimed at
the assassination of Provisional
President Carlos Quintanilla and

Chief of Staff General Antenor
Ichazo, almost alone, nipped the dawn

Bolivia's $4,000 soldiers as they
marched on the palace. His bold &C.

Premier Reynaud Says New
Cabinet Has Single Goal:
Beat the Enemy
By HENRY c. CASSIDY

PARIS, March 81 wednesday,
- Up Strained relations between
Russia and France appeared early
TODAY to have reached the berak-
ing point, with semi-official dis
patches from Moscow stating that
the Soviet ambassador to France,
Jakob S;urits, had been freed from
his functions Is Soviet ambassador
in France
The dispatches said the French
government had declared his pre-
sence in Paris no longer was de-
sirable.
French officials refused to con-
firm or deny Immediately that the
government had formally request
ed Moscow to recall Surits, who has
been in Paris since April of 1887.
Campaign Gains
Several newspapers in Paris are
urging the government to close the
Soviet embassy here an dthe CAM
paign to break off diplomatic rela-
tons with Russia is gaining head
way.
The newspapers were prompted
by Premier Paul Reynaud's declara-
ton in the chamber Of deputies last
FRIDAY that Germany has been
aided by the treason OF the
Soviets."
Surits, who has stuck to his post
despite the rising French feeling
against Russia, is expected to leave
quickly for Moscow.
Informed sources considered 1t
unlikely that the French govern
ment would approve the nomination
of any Soviet envoy as successor
to the recalled ambassador.
Paul Magyar, the French ambas-
sador to Russia, already has left
his post, having returned to Paris
ostensibly on sick leave.
(Sir William Seeds, the British
Ambassador to Moscow, has been in
London on Lave for several months.
Russia's envoy to London, Ivan
Maisky, still is at his post).
Gap Widened
Surits' recall widened the gap be-
tween France and Russia that has
been growing steadily since the

No arrests have been made as

be used if necessary to stop these
fragrant violations of the law"
Not only pedestrians are to be

of automobiles who do not use eau

DR.. MANION DEFEATED

OTTAWA, March 26.-R-W. L.
Mackenzie Kings liberal govern
ment appeared tonight to have won
return to office on its plea for a
general elections expression of APP
prevail from Canada on its conduct
of the dominion's share of the war.
The Canadian press announced
at GIT p. m. that the return of the
Mackenzie King government was
assured and compared the liberal
sweep to that Of 1885. By that
time DR.. R. J. Manion, head of the
chief opposition, the national gov
eminent party, and leader of the
conservative opposition in the last
parliament, had been defeated at
Fort William, Ont, by a. liberal,
Don McIvor.
At 1925 p. m. the party standings
were: Liberals elected 1873; national
governm' IT., 81; cooperative com
monwealLh federation, 2; other par
ties 6; deferred /; doubtful Il; to-
taI 2A ua,, Too,
The liberals in first returns held
firmly to their commanding posi-
ton in the maritime provinces and
in subsequent tabulations the sweer
was carried into quebec and On
tario. First returns from the west
indicated they were losing nj
ground there. Eleven cabinet min
listers. one from Alberta, had beer
reelected.
The ballots of some 10000 sol
diers, sailors and airmen, almost a
third of them in England, will not
be reported for another week; to-
nights returns are based on the
civilian vote alone.
A 9 p. m. tabulation of gains and
losses by parties, distributed by
the Canadian press, showed liberals
had gained six seats from conserva-
tives Irrational government) and
that the national government party
had taken six from the liberals.
The liberals won three from indie.
pendent-liberals and lost one to the
liberal-progressives.
The liberals made inroads into
additionally conservative Ontario
cities, capturing two Hamilton con-
stituencies, and led for two Toron-
to seats, but in other Toronto con-
s%tituencies the national govern
ment party vas ahead.
Program Attacked
The governments war program
has been under attack by the op-
position conservative party and by
the dissident liberal, Mitchell Hep
burn, premier of the Province of
Ontario, as weak and inefficient.
