FRENCH POLITICS.
FALL OF CLEMENCEAU
Paris, July 22.
At the time of the division on the no-confidence motion, resulting in the fall of the Clemenceau Government by 36 votes (176 —212), 175 French Deputies were absent in Scandinavia in connection with the inter-Parliamentary 'pacifist demonstration. In consequence of the new attendance lists abolishing proxy voting, the supporters of M. Clemenceau were unable to cast the ballots of their absent comrades and thus save the Government from dele it.
The Parisian newspapers are astonished at the crisis, and blame M. Clemenceau for referring in such bitter and derogatory terms to M. Delcasse’s foreign policy. The German newspapers sharply attack M. Delcasse, and describe his success as a victory for Chauvinism.
M. Clemenceau is urging the President, M. Fallieres, to reconstruct the old Cabinet with a new Premier in succession to himself.
