Notes

President Doumergue received a delegation from Wellesley College at the Elysee. To it he was reported to have said: "I am now learning English just as your Ambassador, Mr. Herrick, is learning French."* He went on to thank Wellesley for its War aid to France and mentioned the fact that General Pershing's wife was a Wellesley girl.

The bank note issue of the Bank of France reached 43,004,762,000 francs, being within 1,995,238,000 francs of the new legal limit of 45,000,000,000 francs.

The Quai d'Orsay announced that it intended shortly to ratify the Nine

Power (Chinese customs) Treaty signed at Washington in 1921.

The Paris Law School, ordered closed in consequence of the students' riot (TIME, Apr. 6, 13, 20), was ordered reopened. The suspended Dean, Dr. Louis Barthelemy, was expected to be reinstated.

*Mr. Herrick has been U. S. Ambassador to France for seven years. Did M. Doumergue speak as reported, it was a gratuitous insult, or a proof that he is not yet able to say what he means in English.
