Paris, Feb. 8.

While the Duc de Guise, pretender to the French "Throne,” has seen in the Parisian riots an opportunity for another appeal for a restora- tion of the Monarchy, M. Doumergue, the new Promior, is proceeding quietly with the task of forming his Cabinet.

Public sympathy and support is with him whole- heartedly, although he took pains to warn journalists that he is no thaumaturgist: indeed, he distrusted miracles.

It was his intention, he said, to become Premier without portfolio in order to keep his hands free to deal with the situation.

A feeling of content has replaced the unrest of

Paris, Feb. 8. Communist demonstra- tions occurred in many parts of France yesterday, with minor, riots in most of the chief centres.

Very little serious disturbance appears to have occurred except at Lyons, where stones were thrown at the police and several crashes occurred between the demonstra

ors and gendarmes.

Crowds paraded through the street singing the Internationale, aut except for isolated cases, the police' were not greatly troubled. In the meantime, the Civil Ser-
