French Expenses in Ruhr

Paris, June 28.

The Chamber of Deputies to-day by 456 votes to 28 approved the Kuhr credits, which M. Herriot made a question of confidence. The Socialists voted with the majority.

This is the first time that any Socialists have voted for the Ruhr credits, to which they are opposed on principle. The Socialist leader, M. Blum, declared in the afternoon that all' Socialists would abstain rom voting, but M. Herriot, by making it a question of confidence, constituted the vote a test of dis: cipline.

The whole of the Left bloc and a number of Socialists abstained, bat many voted for the credits, Pra and demanded immediate evacuation of the Ruhr.
