S CONFIDENCE VOTED IN FRENCH CABINET Three More Days of the Home ITriniisl"&ir& TIIE MOKXIXG - OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1913. cc Sale Premier Tells Deputies Details of New Expedition Can-, not Be Revealed. ALLIES REQUIRE SECRECY Government Believes Results of Landing in Greece AV1II Be Suc- ccfebful Foreign Minister Dclcasse Resigns. PARIS, Oct. 13. The Chamber of I'Jeputies today adopted a vote of confi dence in the government. 372 to 9, after an exciting scene. Premier Viviani de manded the vote, and in a speech told the Deputies that France's obligations to the allies would prevent revelation of many- of the government's plans. Paris had the added sensation today of learning of the resignation from the Cabinet ot Theophile Delcasse, the For eign Minister. The resignation was ac cepted and Premier viviani will assume the portfolio, iu acdmon to his own. One of the main reasons assigned for his retirement is that he is suffering greatly from fatigue, culminating in a recent sick spell amounting to nervous exhaustion, as a result of directing France's foreign policy. Premier Viviani virtually has been directing the foreign affairs the last five days since it was announced that M. Delcasse was indisposed. Appeal for Harmony Made. At the outset of the debate today Teputy Jules Delahaye made an ap peal for harmony. "The republic has two perils," he said. "They are the Germans and our own political quarrels. For 45 years you have been seeking a man to gov, crn you." "Whom will you have, an Orleans or a Coburg?" a voice called out. M. Delahaye pleaded with the mem bers to lay aside their differences in order to bring about a final victory. The members resumed an attentive silence when Premier Viviani arose. The Premier began by saying that he did not wish to see the debate degenerate into "political pugilism," and he declared that this was no longer the time for discourse, but for brief, clear explanations. He said that, while the government wished to act with preliminary committees, it was acting also with the allies of France. (government's l,lpn Scaled. I understand why the Chamber pro poses questions." said he. "but neither here nor anywhere else where the in terests of France are not alone in ques tion, is it possible to reply to every in- t.rrogatioii, no matter how legitimate. The government has no longer the right nor the possibility of explaining army ano navy plans or an expedition undertaken in common with our allies. It appeared to ns impossible -to let i-eroia- tie assassinated either from in front or -from behind." The Premier, replying to Professor i ainievc, said: "Faults have been committed, but the Government nas not only to take into account the suggestions of commis sions: it must also arrive at an under standing with its allies. If we were unable to act more quickly it was be cause our action .was subordinated to other duties. 'Yes," continued the Premier, "inter vention was necessary, but in accord ance with the general staff and not forgetting the essentia! duty, without weakening the French front. Come what may. it is on the French front that the decision will rest. We knew we were not weakening our front when w e : went to Saloniki. LandlnK In Grrrce Continues. "The landing was made and con tinues, but it is undesirable to state the exact military strength. The govern ment gives formal assurance that the naval and military plans were pre pared carefully and methodically by the general staffs of the allies, and insofar as preparation is concerned, they were in perfect accord and believe the results wilt be successful. "Then what do you want? It is time to speak clearly and only in public ses sion. I have no right to bring here diplomatic or military secrets, for I hold them from chancellories which confide them to the government to be used, but not revealed. "The question now is whether, through , the general assurances it gives, the government may leave here with your confidence. Under these tragic circumsance3 you must say if the government has or has not the confidence of the Chamber. I ask for a vote cf confidence." Attacks Are Ttenumed. After the Premier had concluded, the attacks on the ministry were resumed by Deputy Charles Chaumet. M. Chaumet said that if the Salonlki expedition were in the same hands a that to the Gallipoli Peninsula the Chamber had reason to distrust its results.- Professor Painleve and M. Tlenaudel. a Socialist member. ex pressed themselves as not satisfied with the government's utterances which they regarded as inadequate to enaDie tne members to bear their re sponsibilities. The . resolution of confidence was then proposed in the following form: "The Chamber, confident in the gov ernment and approving its declarations passes to further business." .

After three years' boosting for good roads in Coos County the scheme is just where it opened, following a general county convention held In North Bend.

A detailed account of the landslides which have caused the Panama Canal to be closed Indefinitely to commerce was cabled to the War Department today by Major-General Goetnals. The dispatch said: "Mass of material .involved In the break of October 14. 1914. -which has been sliding- gradually into the prism, moved precipitately. This, combined with similar movement from the break which occurred Just opposite on the western bank in August, causes present conditions.

Material in settling snd moving creates earth waves, with deep depressions behind, those being from 500 to coo feet from the canal prism, with elevations of 60 to 85 feet above water surface.
