KIegels, Governor General of Kieff as his sue
cessor may be looked for.
These reports, according to The Associated
Presses information. without foundation. 1t
is beyond question that the measures shortly
to be announced VIII be entirely unsatisfactory
to the extremists and to many liberals who
will be content with nothing less than radical
change of government.
The proposition for a constitution and the
Convocation of national assembly the EN-
perOr, after careful consultation with his Min

practicable and impossible but what is termed
reform in the direction Of libeTality has been

At the same time, in order to put q stop to the
