Paris, Jan. 12th.— Mr. Wallace, Uni- ted States Ambassador to France, {orm- aily withdrew from the Council of Am- passadors atl this morning’s sessior of tha® budy atier presenting his colleagues with the instructions of the Govt. in Washington to ceas? participating in the work of the Council, L London, Jan. IZth.- Recent attempts by so-calied unemployed, to seize town halls and start riots caunnot be attributed to genuine unemployment but were in- stigated by Russian revolutionists, ac- cording to the “‘liveningNews’’ which claims to tave found the headquarters of the Red organization that is engineering troukle in England. Paris, Jan. 12'b.—Armies may again march in Lurope if as seems probable tonight, M. Poincare be asked to form a. ne ¢ national cabinet to replace the min- isiry ot M. Leygues, which was over- thrown this afternoon by a vote of 463 to izs. This was the largest vote ever cast against a French ministry Presi- dent Milierand, it is reported tonight, will do everything possible to aveid summon- ing M. Poincare to the premiershio, in view of the eritical situatio: and the former President’s strong siand on the problem concerning France. 'ihereis a sirong sentiment, howevel, in tavour of M. Poincare. He stands ior no com- promise with Germany and wanfs to get back to the Treaty of Versailles, instead of what he considers wasting | time with arrangements intended to con- ciliate the Geimans, but which the Ger- | mans resist. France now stands at the | partuing of the ways. Unless M. Miller- | and insists on no more compromises by the ministry before abandoning his hope in | the conciiiatory machinery now operating | at Brussels and elsewhere, he must call | M. Poincare to the National leadership. | France wantsa strong man to conduct | her case at the forthcoming Paris con- ference. Lhe entire country and the | Cnamber would unanimously select M. | Poincare at this critical time, but for one | fact. It is feared in many quarters that M. Poincare’s uncompromising attitude | would cause trouble between France and ner allies. > 1.

YOUTH REFHSES TO ACCEPT | SI,OOO. 00U, How many of our readers, were they - offered $1,000,000, would refuse to ac- " cept the treacherous stuff? Charles Gar- | . land, 21 years old, whc lives with his . wife and child on one of his mecther’s . farms ncar Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., was . offered that amount by the trustees of | | his father’s estate and he refused it. | in explaining his action Garland said: | ‘1 .did nothipg terit. It 18 more than any man aeecs; in refusing to take the money [ am placing my life on a Chris- | tian basis.”” =He says he is opposed to | - ‘“‘unzarned increment’’ and believes that | ' every man should earn his own living. | | - His wife supports him in his views. | It is thought that Garland’s associations | ' formed in Greenwich Village, New | i York City’s ‘‘Bohemian’s quarter,”’ | ' where he spent four months a few years | . ago, were responsibie for his attitude. ! | The case is embarrassing for tne trus- | . tees of tle estate of James Garland, | ~ his father, 'who was a popular club- . | ~ man and yach:sman of Boston. Chari- | ~ table organizations and hospitals have | appealed to the trus:ees for some of the money but it is said the trusteeship | must continue indefinitely until Gar- | land or one of his heirs accepts the | money. = W. R. Hanson, a janitor .at Malden Mass., on the other hand, is one whoshas no scrupies concerning the acceptance of legacies. While Hanson was dis- cussing the Garland’s case with friends the postman handed him a letter in- ‘orming him that his uncle had died leaving him a legacy of $250,000 Han- son says he will continue to wash win- dows and sweep floors but that he will take week end motor trips in ibe ceun- try and smoke goo¢ cigars when he receives the money. There is a moral in the divergent atti- tudes of these two men. Is Garland really .doing a Chnistian act in refusing to accept this fortune? Although in some cases it would be a sign of weak- ness to accept ‘‘something tor nothing,”’ in this particular case it appears move ‘a wrong conception of the duty of man toward his fellow men to refuse the control of this wealth, which an able and sincere nind could direct in chari- table and other worthy directions. George M. Cohan, the actor, speaks for most of us when he says that he would gladly aceept a million dollars from anyone, even the meanest man on earth. One newspaper suggests: “'lf it is an obligation to accevt poverty and if possible to emerge from i, why is it not equally an obligation 10 - accept wealth even when it is throst upon one?’’ The people in the Eible par- e did not refuse to accept the talents. It would seem that the immature age of Garland 1s partly responsible for his Quixotic attitude; as time goes on he may think difterently about man’s obligations in this world. in the mea - time Hanson,. with his wiser philoso- phy, will be able to benefit himself and others by the proper circulation of his money instead of leaving the “dead hand’'’ of a trust to hold it The Pathfiuder, Ist Jan.
