Millerand Chosen French President , Inntlmifil fr'im Pr.ce Onr I to note this characteristic of the'French i stntesmnn nnd diplomat In the various conferences between the twain thnt have I been held In the last nine or ten months, i And liow that M.

It has long been said thnt If Miller and had not been forced to resign early in the year nnmed France would have been better prepared when war came In 1014, for Millerand was nn ndvocnte of prr.iarcdness. He nlwnys lind main tained that preparation for war was tiie aim n wnr minister must always have before Ills eyes, "We must fore see the worst," was his watchword. Doubtless It was this motto thnt com mended him to Clcmenceiiu, when the latter took chnrgc of Franco' desper ate cause in the -fall of 1017. After tho armistice and the restorn- Hon to Franco nf her "lost provinces France, to show her attitude in tho mut ter, chose Millerand to govern Alsace Lorraine, He was known to be a hater of things Prussian, nnd quickly under his direction the Gcrmnnli'.rd In dustries of tho reconquered teiritory were being converted into a part of the French -system. Millerand is n Parisian bv birth. He first saw the light in 18.10. and nfer his education at the Lycr7 Vnnvirs and the Lycee Henry IV nnd nt the University he took up the practice of law in 1SS1, and gained distinction ns an ndvocnte. He was counsel for the striking miners of .Montoeaii-lcs-Neus in Ihh'Jj wns ejected to the municipal council in ISS-l, nud was a radical Socialist in the Chamber of Deputies In 1KS.1. Four years later lie became proprietor of Hie newspaper La Volx, in wlilch he advo cated his views. In the Chamber of Deputies he urged many reforms, espe cially relating to socinl legislation, nnd he gained prominence ns editor-in-chief of the Petite Itepublique. n post be held until 1800, nnd ns nn Impassioned orator. In 1800, as lender of the Parlia mentary or Opportunist Socialists, Millerand was made member of the Wnldeek-Roiissenii cabinet as min ister nf commerce, much to the disgruii tlenicnt of the Marxian, who some time later expelled hlm from tho Socialist party because he had tnken office In n non-Sneinllst ministry. As a matter of fact, during his Incumbency Millerand did much to benefit the working classes. In 1010 Millerand becamn min ister of commerce and postal and tele graph service, and in the first Briand made hlm minister nf war, which post he surrendered uniicca-ircumstiincrH nl teady mentioned, but in 1014 when tho ronlltlon cabinet under Vlvlanl wns formed Millerand ngnin wns entrusted with tho wnr portfolio.

Council has tho power to force municipal cleaning for the entire city. A wave of real doubt as to the wis dom of the Mayor's piecemeal plan Is running through official circles in Coun cil and the city ndminlstrntlon, now thnt supporters of the city charter have been heard from. Tho view of the charter supporters was set forth by the Bureau of Municipal Research In n joint statement by Frederick P. Oruenbcrg nnd James W. Collin, one of tho three engineers who Investigated street clean ing In other cities. The bureau, nfter denouncing the pteecmcal plnn, virtu nlly colled on City Council to reject the combined contract and municipal clerin Iiir proposal. The bureau pointed out that Council can enforce Inunlclpal cleaning. Director Caen's Reply Director Coven, of the Department of Public Works, replied to the statement by Mr. Gruenberg that the overhead costs of two districts would be higher than if the city cleaned nil the streets by nssertiitg thnt he hnd Informed Mnyor Mooie the city could do nothing but what was prnctlcnl.

"Well, you have some good pnospeefs, haven't vim?" Senalor Kenyon nsked. "Oli, 'je," McDonald answered, "nnd some tightwads, tpo'.

In distinct contrast to the rather dis couraged demeanor of the Democratic stale chairman was the aggressive, con fident mnnnrr of former governor I'd ward C. Stokes, Republican state rhnir mnn of New Jersey, who followed hlm. Governor Stokes spoke in crisp, rapid, explosive sentences, biting off his words, nodding bis head for emphasis. He wears his hair In bangs, supports nn nrtistle white mustache and bespoke netion In nil his utterances. Tho in quiry turned on the pnyment of cnni pnlgn speakers. "What is- your custom In paying speakers?" Senator Reed asked. "Well, senator." came tho staciato response. "I never got nny pay for mv speeches nud I never pay anything for speakers if I can help it," He chattered like a machine gun In rattling off figures on campaign contri butions nnd expenditures. He exuded self-confidence. To date, the commit tee has spent .$0245 and received S."000 finm the national committee, he' tes tified. "We're in deht.'' he snapped. "But In 101S we were 'wny in debt. I was not chairman then." Senators nnd spectators laughed. The witness snw nothing funny In it. Barnes Cartoonists' Delight William Barnes, 0f New York, "Boss" Barnes, who testified yetenlai and again today, proved one o'f the in-1 teresting witnesses of the Inquiry. He is a type. Oartninists love hlm nnd their, cartoons look like hlm. His outstanding teature is his nose, which is long and largo. He parts his hair in the middle. Deep creases run down from the nos-1 trils and furrow his cheeks. A pendu lous lower lip dioops dejectedlv. When he tries to smile, his face break's out In n mvriiid oi nine wnuKics, He wore .1 checkered yest nnd brought two pairs of spectacles, both horn-rlnimed, but one pair with horn car frames and the other with gold. His testimony disclosed u frank nd mlratlnn for Ids latest efToft, "Repub licanism nf 10120." n book approved III writing l.v such eminent individuals in Flihu Root, former President Tnff, Wil liam Ilockr feller, Charles Kvnus Hiighc.t and Will Hays.

"Anv onn who knows mo knows that anything I do for the Republican party, is done gladly nud openly." "Vou thought, possibly, the book would help solidify the Republican party?' Senntnr Kenyon suggested "I thought It was already solidified. ' Barnes retorted, with n twisted smile.' "Tnft nnd Johnson?" "Tnft nnd Johnson." "Do you quota them on the Leagu of Nations In your bonk?" Senator yken yon Inquired In n gentle voice. "No," Ilnrnen nnRwcred. "It didn't seem to me to Jjo nn issue." This brought nnother laugh una n moment's rest. Senator Kcnyon finally demnnded: "Has this book any sinister sig nificance?" "Boss" names came ns nenr nn in gradating smile ns possible, "and an swered In. atriooth, eveu tones, very nolltely : "Well, of course, senator, I nm the one to deSloro that, ns 1 nm person under suspicion." As Bnrnes proceeded nnd Ilccd cross-cxamlneii. un temperature nf the room rose. Barnes's voice rose with It. Ills tones got higher until they reached a sing-song pitch, almost a falsetto.

Reed , finnlly ened the strnln by observing, i not for the record, Hint ho bad (lis covered Chauncey Depcw's picture In ' the Bnrnes book, 'among the (lead ones,' ' Including Washington, Henry Clay, I Adams, Lincoln and other figures oi history. , ) "I think he's misplaced."

' "Boss" Barnes held nn unllghtcd clgnretle In one hnnd nnd dangled on' of, bis two pairs of glasses In the otnei nsi he testified. He did not light the clgnrette until excused from the stnnd. Liquor's Cnll ITnheeded George T. Cnrroll, of Elizabeth.

Do told a snd. sad story of the liquor dealers' situation. It is' organized In six states, he said. Their was a time when it was orgnui7.nl In a1 few others "But for some reason the other states did not respond to the call of the last convention," he explained, quite seriously. Shouts of laughter at this explanation seemed to mystify him for a moment. He testified rather .Ingenuously thnt he had apprmnl a letter sent out to members or the association boosting Cox for President, hut snld he hadn't ap pioved the paragraph cnntninlng Cox's nnuie nnd identifying lilin as n "pn iinunced wet." The letter he snld, was signed with his rubber-stamp signa ture. "Rubber stnmp?"

There was a momentary misunder standing when Senator Kenyon nsked how many copies of "Justice." the liquor deiileis' official publication, hnd been clirillnted. "since the rmivenllnn." I "You mean our snte convention?' Can nil nsked. "No-" "Our national convention In No' York?" "No," Scnnlor Kenyon eluridiitni, "It. was KMhiin not so Important n-i your convention,-but I meant tho Demo cratic ualioiial convention in San Fran cisco."

Senator Reed ob jected on the grounds that "if followed up we will liiivc the witness testifying to how much whisky both of them drink." "As a inntler or tnct." Kcdntnr Rrcd demanded, "did you ever in your ex perience find that the consumption of liquor was regulated by party llucs''" "No, sir," the witness' nnswerc C(t. without n trace of n smile. "Hasn't it been your observation as nn expert,." Reed pursued, '.'thnt some Republicans oirnslnnqlly take a drink I Republicans who are going to vote foi ' IlnnlingV" "Yes. sir," leplled Cnrroll. "Well, which candidate driest?" tho "I couldn't av ns tn that." "lime you ever hriird t lint Senator1 Ilnrdiiig had issued any manifesto in: inc liquor question, saying he was in favorof keeping the country bonc-drv forever?" "No. sir."
