very friendly to England. Long before the a advocated the closest French and British col Mtion. The prospect therefore of M. Herriond Mr. MacDonald reaching, complete understanding on pending questions at their forthcoming meeting. appears to be very favourable.

M. Camerlinat obtained 21 votes and the others eight, while there were seven blanks. The total number of voters was 860.

COLONIAL SERVICE.

M. Doumergue. is aged sixty-one. He is a Southerner. He is the first Protestant of batchelor President. He was one time a member of the colonial magistracy, holding posts in Indo-Chinz and Algeria. His election is regarded as a severe blow to the Left Bloc, the entire opposition in the Chamber of Deputies and the whole of the Senate, including the Radicals, voting for him.

VERSAILLES, June 13.

In a speech at the ceremony of investiture M. Doumergue 'declared, he would respect the constitution standing above Parties.

He trusted President and Parliament would collaborate to solve grave problems and enable; France to enter an era of useful work and peaceful progress.

MILLERAND'S MISTAKES.

LATER.

The replacement of M. Millerand by M.Doumergue ends one of the most remarkable incidents in the life of the Third Republka M. Millerand had still over three years of the Poezi dency to run but too deeply offended the Left Party for them to agree to serve under him. They, despite his denials of unconstititutional conduct, contend that he identified himself openly in the electoral crisis with the National Blog, of which he is the founder, while certain reported declarations led to the suspicion in some quarters that he was playing with the idea of converting the Presidency into a kind of personal dictatorship Moreover is

The Premier, M. Marsal, immediately after wards formally invested M. Doumergue in office. Congratulations followed. M. Painleve was among the first to express his felicitations. M. Painleve and M. Doumergue cordially kissed on both checks, to the delight of the spectators. The military rendered honours and the crowd cheered as M. Domergue accompanied by M. Marsal left for the Elysee, whence M. Millerand meanwhile had quietly departed. M. Doumergue immediatelyjon as Prime Minister lu 1920 in assisting Brad summoned M. Herriot.

BEGAN AS LAWYER.

PARIS, June 13. M. Doumergue, a thorough Radical Sorialist, largely owes his election to the fact that the Centre and Right voted for him in order to defeat the official candidate of the Left Parties, M. Painleve, bom the Moderates considered more a Party man than [ M. Doumergue.

The new President began life as a lawyer. He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1893 and has held office in many ministries. He was Premier for the six months ending June 1914 A present he is President of the Senate.

nst the Bolshevik havasion, and puitte

the railway strike has never been forgotten by the Communists and other Left Parties.
