and They Want New Minis
ter of Marine

PARIS. March 5.-The situation of the
French ministry despite the optimistic
public utteranCes Of Premier Combes. is
at the present time most precarious
There IS a conviction among well in
formed politicians that a crisis is immi-
nent and may be precipitated by a very
small thing within the next few days.
NJ. Combes believes that the bloc
majority in the chamber wilt remain
faithful, but already they are mutter-
irgs which presage an open break.
The result is that the gossips are al
ready discussing prospective changes
and il is conceded that the successor of
NJ Combes as premier will be NJ. Rou-
Tier, the present minister of finance.
Who. in addition to his new duties
would retain his present portfolio. NJ.
DOumer, it is stated. will be minister of
the interior. while M Lockroy. the open
enemy OF NJ Pelletan. the present min
lister OF marine, is slated to succeed that
bitterly detested official
The genius OF the new combination
viii, OF course. be NJ. Doumier, who is
comparatively a young man and one of
unbOunded ambition. In view OF the
present complications Minister of FL
nance Rouvier has abandoned his pro-
jected visit to London and will remain in
France and endeavor to repair his
fences"
Navy in Jeopardy.
As NJ Doumier is president Of the
budget committee OF the chamber. his
open enmity toward NJ. PeIetan serious
~ Jeopardizes the French naval program.
The Doumier plans are receiving sup
port from many persons who originally
would be with Premier Combes in any
question of party policy and this is due
TO the fact that NJ. Pelletan absolutely
refuses TO compel the resignation OF his
secretary. NJ. Tissier, who is also a
member 81 the faculty OF Lyon. being
professor OF law there. and who IS held
responsible for most of the confusion
that has demoralized the department OF

portfolio.

now cndeavoring to locate the response

French navy, will IN its report. which
is now nearly ready for publication.

upon the shoulders of NJ. Pelletan The
Cownfall of the cabinet is expected to
quickly follow the making public OF the
