WASHINGTON. Oct 27. The
President and Mrs. Coolldge have
declined an offer from the Girls'
club ot Vermont university of a

Although no reason waa given
for declining the pie, apparently It

might have been taken as an en
dorsement by the President of the
proposed apple week to be
held
about that time.
This might be regarded as a lire-
cedent for endorsement ot similar
movements In other parta ot the

PARIS. Oct 27. Premier Pal
leva's cabinet resigned today.
Tbe premier Informed the presi
dent that the cabinet eeuld not
continue its work of restoring the
French tlnaneea without being as
sured mi a favorable majority la
parliament
The decision of the minister to
resign waa unanimous. It was
caused by the attitude taken by tbe
radical and socialist parties at
their .recent congress m Nice, .
where the principle of a tax levy
on capital was adopted. .
The Palnleve ministry waa form
ed on April IS of this year to sue.
ceeif that of Edouard Harriot,
which also went down through the
refusal of parliament to accept Its
financial policy.
Like Its predecessor, the cabinet
which stepped down today depend
ed for Its parliamentary majority
largely on tbe parties of the left, .
including the radicals and radical
socisltsts. Joseph Caillaux, Pain
ileve'a minister of finance and on
of the outstanding personalities ot .
the government, has steadfastly
resisted the left bloc In Its desire
to resort to a levy on capital a
nieana of lifting France out of Its
financial difficulties. i .
Paria dispatches for the hut few
daya have made It plain that the
premier and Foreign Minister
Ilrland were not In sympathy with
M. fatllaux's plans, the detail of
which have been kept largely tn
the dark, during their consideration'
by . the cabinet. . .
