Paris, Mar. 23.
"Lo Matin" states that M. Philippe Berthelot voluntarily informed the recent Court of Discipline, presided over by M. Poincaré, that in 1919 his brother, M. Andre Berthelot, Chairman of the Banque Industrielle de Chine, gave him Frs. 3,500,000, of which he spent Frs. 2,500,000 buying rentes and ithe remainder in buying a house. When, in 1921, the Banque Industrielle was in difficulties, he hastened to put Frs. 2,500,000 at his brother's disposal.
The examining magistrate, inquiring into the bank's affairs, subsequently questioned him at length in regard to the matter.—Reuter.
