Poincuiie's acceptance was taken
as nn Indication that he had been
MiccesKful In bis efforts to com-
plete tho ministry. This action on
the part of tho former president
was believed in diplomatic circles
to mean that Poincalre would Iki.I

rahce said."
"France is facing a situation
which is as ftiuomy ns tho darkest
days of the war. When tho Germans
were nt Chateau Thierry M. poln-
care then president of the republic
overlooking former personal differ-
ences between himself and M. Clem-
onceaii called the man whom tlw
country demanded. Today If as H
freely said there are differences
of opinion between the president of
tlie republic and M. Poincure our
president is a big enough man to
forget them."

was one of the French delegations
at the. Washington conference said:
"Under present circumstances the
life of a statesman in Franco Is im-
possible. I fully approve M. Brland's
attitude but we shall do our be.it
to help his successor in the work of
restoring France. The country will
not fii'd lis In the way with petty

That the fxO.noo bonds voted hero

par was the Indication at thn conn-
dl meeting last night when R. W.
Mann of tho Spider ftoark comi
puny of Toledo made an offer of
par and two percent premium for
the bonds.
This offer It was pointed out
would mean a premium of C00
for the fso.ouo worth of bonds. Tho
nrrr however was rejected owing
lo the fact e:int t Is the policy of
the council to give all bond buyers
the same opportunity. The mayor
and city council will advertise for
bids upon approval of the bonds by
the attorney general. !
At the meeting Inst night ordU

tabor Situation Talked. . .
No definite action . was taken b
council lust night with reference to
Iho labor situation resulting from
1110 protest of laborers that th men
employed on tho park linnrovemenr.
project at Shannon Springs.
Considerable illicusslon result.!
from till Ib part of tho meetlnir a
number of laboring men being pres-
ent. City Attorney Hammerly who
is also a member of the nark board.
made a short statement relative to
the policies of the park bourd. Ho
pointed out that the park board
members had been working for weeka
without compensation and had been
devoting considerable time to thn
park improvement project. iHe stat
ed mat the board had decided on
the wage scale of $3 ner dav fnr
the park laborers looking to the
interests of the tax payers and ta
certain relief of the unemulovment
situation here.
The council passed a. resolution
in which was extended a vote of
thanks to the park board members
for their work on the project and
for the manner in which thev had
conducted the matter of public park
improvements. Followlna; this rnsn.
lutlon Councilman Duncan moved.
seconded by Councilman Hawn that
the paBt wage scale be ; sustained
and that future handling of the ia-
bor situation on parka be concurred
In by the council.
Brings Much Protest.
This motion brought forth more
discussion and much protest on the
part of some members of. the council
as -well as some of the labor repre-
sentatives present. Mr. Duncan was
requested to withdraw this motion
but refused. A vote on the question
resulted in its loss by .a five to two
count Duncan and Hawn being the
only two to vote in favor of the
motion. It was evident that the
council did not wish to set the
precedent of paying only $3 a day
for work on park Improvement.
It was thought by" city offiicals
this morning that the park board
would be governed largely in tha
matter of wage scales by the rec-
ommendations of Mr. Hugihes who
Is here from the state labor com-
missioner's office to investigate the
matter. Mr. Hughes was not present
at the meeting last night but was
still In the city this morning. It
was believed that he would make
some recommendations in the mat-
ter today.
