(By the Asso ciated Press.) Ramond Poincare. president of the republic during the war and now premier of France with ! the French chamber practically unanl I mows behind him. served notice on J Germany today that so long as he I held office Germany must fulfill the obligations she entered -upon at Ver sailles and may expect no leniency. The Versailles treaty, binds us to our allies," he said, "but it binds Germany to us all. It must be car ried out." These were his-final words before leaving the tribune after replying to various interpellation. Great Ovation Received. Never since the Germans threatened Chateau Thierry when Clemenceau appeared before the chamber of deputies to tell France that the war was not yet lost, has a French pre mier received such an ovation as greeted M. Poincare today when he presented before the deputies the ministerial declaration. He pleaded for national union. Except for the socialists and com munists, the French parliament was as solid behind Its government to night as when the Germans crossed the frontier in 1914. Alert and active. M. Poincare In stilled into the chamber the spirit which has been lacking since Clem enceau's departure. Germany must honor her signature at Versailles, de clared the premier, not only with re spect to reparations which was a matter of "life or death to France," but also disarmament and the punish ment of the war criminals. Supreme Council Opposed. He openly declared that hould Germany fail to carry out either of the two latter understandings, it would be considered as a violation of the Versailles treaty, giving France complete freedom of action. He ad vocated the virtual elimination of the supreme council, with reversion to former diplomatic channels in deal ings between nations, with the su preme council "called upon from time to time to confirm agreements, rather than to negotiate them." That part of M. Poincare's declara tion dealing with reparations re-1 ceived the almost unanimous ap proval of the chamber, while some uneasiness was notable when he reiched the question of disarmament and the' war criminals. From the communists there were shouts for the senatorial high court to try him on the charge of being responsible for the war. To the3e M. Poincare re torted: "The nation, which Is the highest court, would acquit me, real izing that I did my duty, but." point ing at the communists. "I know others who would not escape." The deputies gave Premier Poincare and his government a vote of confi dence, 478 to 107. This action followed upon the ministerial declaration. In replying to the interpellations. M. Poincalre used stronger and more direct language than In the minis terial declaration. "Germany was not only responsible for the war," he declared, "but for the manner in which it was con ducted.

Poincare of responsibility for the war and the death of a million and a half French men. The premier took notice of these accusations, saying: "I have been accused of being re sponsible for the war. the war broke out in spite of the French govern ment." Alluding to reparations he said: "With the strictest economies and the heaviest taxation, we cannot live unless Germany pays us. Every question of internal politics must be subordinated to our foreign policy. We have peace abroad; let us have peace at home. "I neither defend no.- criticise the Versailles treaty, but I want its in tegral execution." Germany Hela Able to Pay. Discussing Germany's ability to pay. the premier said: "Her corporations return enormous dividends, her factories are in full activity. la a word, her economic strength grows every day and if the state itself is In ruins, the nation enriches itself. It was in the name of the German nation that the Versailles treaty was accepted. "France, in defending her rights, defends international accords, and follows In no way the suggestion of selfishness. France wishes to see Europe and the whole world recover from the painful unrest from which they suffer, but general economic re organization depends first upon the restoration of the devastated regions.
