Do not let the boom swing. It is ex tremely dangerous to try to raise the electric wires, or to try to move them in any way. 2. Do not let your men attempt to do anything with the electric wires. 3.

Caillauz's fundamental remedy lo restore the French treasury Is an increased Income tax, bringing France up to the level of the Amer ican and British ration and ruth lessly collecting from rich and poor alike. The new finance niin Inter served notice on parliament late Thursday of his intention. His announcement came inciden tally when the (iiestion of voting' provisional credits to carry on th-;' public business of France during May and June was under discus sion. M. Caillaux put litis measure through the chamber in u few hours. It provides for credits amounting to fi.lMi'i.HTT.liXfi francs. Of this amount I n 1.507,574 francs iR for the maintenance of the French occupation troop.i. Maintaining the Imperturahle calm which characterized his re appearance in French public life, M. Caillaux attended the sittings of both senate and chamber. It was just five years ago yester lay that Caillaux heard himself sentenced to Imprisonment and banishment by the senate, on this occasion the senate gave him silen: treatment, appearing not to notice his presence. This seemed lo make a deeper impression on M, Caillaux than tin vituperations to which he was subjected In the chamber Tuesday. In a business like manner the fi nance minister attended to affairs In the upper hoiif.e, then returned to t he chamber. 'Millionaires will pay just like other taxpayers." he informed the hamber when an lnterruiiton from the right broke In "the rich men have escaped taxation." "I w ill also en force the law against the export of capllal," the minister continued. "The law Is in sufficient but 11 exists and the best we can do Is to apply it."
