AWAITING EVENTS. “FIERY CROSS” ATTITUDE. PARIS COMPARATIVELY CALM. PARIS, November 9. Owing to the political crisis the police have beeen reinforced in Paris, which is comparatively quiet, except for parading crowds of students and members of Youths’ organisations, whom the police keep moving. The members of the Fiery Cross League of Ex-Servicemen are calm and are refraining from holding meetings or making speeches. They will give anyone with a clean J , political reputation a chance, but there is no guaranteed that a hurriedly formed stop-gap Ministry will last more than a few weeks. Parliamentary rivals declare that the pre-truce days of • three months’ Cabinets have returned. Patriotic organisations. though they have not been mobilised, stand to attention and are awaiting events. The Nationalists’ Organisation, “L’Action Francaise,” is preparing two demonstrations.
