The Radical Party is demoralised by the growing clamor for M. Monis's resignation.

The public are discussing .why M. Fa ore's (the Public Prosecutor's) letter was not submitted to the Pochette Commission. Why did M.M.Barthou and Briand keep the letter by them' for three years without breathing a word to the Commission, and then finally hand it to M. Calmette as his deadliest, weapon against M. Caillaux?

The Pochette Commission is now invested with judicial powers, the first commission with such high powers during the third Republic. Owing to the unrest, troops are confined to the barracks in readiness for measures to be taken to guard M. Caillaux's house, his wife's prison, and Parliament during the funeral on. Friday. , •
