London, September 26. A striking departure in connection with President Millerand's in election, which passed almost unheeded here, is the fact that he was elected open his son terms, and not as a figurehead. He intends in pleased upon his en tomber of powers which the Constitution gives the President, bus which for a long time have remained practically 1⁄2 dead latter, to be the actual chist director of the State and its policy. For example, President Millerand holds that Article VIII of the Constitution affords the President powers to negotiate and ratify a Treasy; hence it is thought likely that he will take an active part in the direction of Franca's foreign policy. It is declar- ed that he is likely to overshadow the Premier, much as the Americansson from information below, the President dominates the Cabinet.
