THE BEE: OMAHA; TUESDAY,; JANUARY, IS, 1921. FrencliPanc rs Not Enthusiastic Over New Cabinet Most Journals. Express Mild Satisfaction or . , Reserve ;i JudgmentBrianijy Radi- . cal Tendencies Recalled. . . TArig, Jan. 17. Little enthusiasm was evinced today by newspapers of Paris over the new Briand cabinet, thr decrees of appointment of which were printed tins morning in the official Journal. Most journals ex-' pressed mild satisfaction, or reserved judgment. The significance of the appoint ment of M. Briand as premier was not Jost upon the people of this city. They recalled his friendship with Georges Clemenceau, ;wlio, while head of the French government, as sisted in framing the treaty of Ver sailles. M. Briand always has in sisted that the treaty must be car ried Cut and that the interests of Fiance in the near east must be served. He is known to have' viewed the return of Constantine to the throne of Greece as a circumstance which bhould be used to her profit by France. M. Briand has been an advocate of ' complete soliditary between France, Great Britain and the United States. The radical tendencies of the new premier are subjects of comment here, his early association with John sassinated in 1914, being one of tlie? salient features of his advance in pol itics. France socialism may find m M. Briand a man who can do much toward uniting factions and saving: the nartv as a nolitical nowef. Dr. Alexander Opens Lecture Series With Talk on 'Human Nature' "A people is an association based on the common acceptance of the ' sanifl body of laws and on the gen eral participation in public benefits." This definition was given by Dr. H. B. Alexander Monday afternoon in his address before the Oniaha School Forum at i the city council chamber. The lecture was the fint of a series of 15 to be given by Pro fessor Alexander of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, cm the gen eral subject, "Democratic Ideals." His subdivision of the topic Mon day was "Human Nature." An audience of 250 heard hjm in the afternoon and nearly as many attended in. the, evening, when. he spoke on the same theme. A people is not a solidarity, ot a society formed like a hive of bees, but an association, according to the speaker. -"Only a free man can : ac cept," he said; "This association is a legal thing; it has laws. 4lt has a purpose. There are obligations and rewards. This definition by Cicero was pronounced a classic in human thinking." i ; -5- V& 4 AderRecoyers - Ring by Replevin Suit it i. . (Continued From Tm$ One) day, when she was dressing to go out. and was unable Jo receive com pany.' The next she heard of him was the replevin action, which called for the surrender by her, of various articles which she had -kept in her home for Mr. Morris for a period of five years. She' surrendered all of the articles called for in the re plevin except the diamond ring, which was the basis of the suit heard yesterday. . "I have noted that sometimes close friendships of long , standing have been turned to hate," said Judge Baldwin, in giving his decision. "J. think that the relations of this man and woman during the last 12 years were, merely the continuation of sthe string friendship' which existed be fore the death of Mrs. Morris. I can Understand how he gave this ring to her to wear and keep, as she had been the dearest friend of his wife, whom he had promised that he would never marry again. Mrs. DeBolt's admission that she has beo keeping company with others Joes not appeal to the court as indicating that the wearing of the ring by her was a token of expectation to marry Mr. Morris." Eileen DeBolt, pretty little daugh ter of -the defendant, testified that she returned home one evtiing awd was surprisd to observe her mother wearing a diamond ting. "I asked Mr. Morris if he gave the rincr and he said he did." Eileen testified. "I wasf curious to knovA if Mr. Morris was serious. 1 thought that when a man gives a lady a ring, it means something." Mr. Morris is deaf. His testimony was obtained by means of paper and pencil. He understood the . testi- II Hill V VI l J. Lrvnua. in. had learned to read lins during the years of their friendship.
