I. He said that while Japan did not Z intend to send her troops back into the Chientao region, it would be '.'forced to dispatch , constables to ' protect Japanese nationals unless v the Pekin government provided adequate policing force.

POME CLEARS NINE PREMIER DISPROVES CHARGE OF CAUSING WAR. Frantic Excitment Prevails on Floor of Chamber of Depu-. . ties After Debate. BT FERDINAND TUOHY. (Copyright, 1922. by the New York World. Published by Arrangement.) PARIS, July 6. (Special Cable.) Amidst frantia excitement and with the floor of the chamber of deputies Invaded by scores of members, all bent on embracing him, Viviani cleared Premier Poincare of the stigma long associated with the lat ter 8 name by the French commun ists, namely, that he had been re sponsible for the war. Only one deputy actually succeed ed in kissing Viviani, but that was Poincare himself, who rushed across and implanted a resounding em brace on either cheek of Viviani. The. occasion was the debate de manded by Poincare on the previous day, as the sequel to a particularly harsh attack on him by a commun ist, Valiant Coutourier. The latter, after recapitulating the familiar tale that Poincare worked with a view to the rupture of European peace in 1914, referred to the now famous picture of Poincare and Am bassador Herrick, who were caught by the photographer smiling in the middle of the ceremony at Verdun recently. This smile is now discussed the length and breadth of France, ex perts having been consulted who say the picture was touched up and that Poincare and Herrick were not smiling, but were screwing up their faces before the rays of the sun. However, in France trifling inci dents often have big consequences. So Poincare communists having al ready circulated tens of thousands of his "death smile" throughout the country as incisive propaganda insisted on going Into the whole matter of war guilt.
