Gen. Pioquart Al Minister OF War is set
in a high place Of authority over French
army officers Who were formerly the mali
cious prosecutors both OF Picquart and OF
Dreyfus. His latest homo will be popularity
received az a elimination Of the whole
French peoples tardy effort toward re-
habilitation Of the famous victim OF DEVILS
Island and his leading champion.
All the serious Paris newspapers this
evening accept NJ. Clemenceau's Ministry
in a kindly spirit, but the lighter journals
have an occasional fling in endeavors TO
embarrass him. M. Clemenceau himself
is as cheerful as ever. He, who was called
the Old Debutant upon his entering a Cab
met for the first time last May, after he had
wreck ed many Ministries, takes his success
easily. He sees reporters as readily as an
American politician, and by this means he
keeps the public informed Of his movements
and progress. So many journalists rowded
his palace to-day hat he smilingly expressed
the hope that there would be as many at
his downfall, and when the photographers
besieged him he said he dreamed last night
that they aimed amera shots at him from
the walls of his room.
NJ. Clemenceau declared that the Cabinet
was wholly harmonious, but there were so
MANY questions ON which the Ministers
must confer in detail that they would not
meet the Chamber Of Deputies when that
body reassembles on Thursday. 1t il
thought, therefore, that the Chamber will
adjourn until No vember s. It's meeting
then will not conflict with the celebration
of the November / holiday.
The new Cabinet has a Radical majority.
The new portfolio of Labor and Public Health
brings the total membership to twelve.
of the new Ministers are new to Office,
while six were members Of the Sarrien
Cabinet. Two OF the new Cabinet. NJ.
Caillaux. and NJ. Guyot-Dessaigne, held
Office in previous Ministries. the former
having been Minister Of Finance under
Waldeck-R Rousseau and the latter Minister
Public Works under Bourgeois.
The new Cabinet has six Radicals. two
independent Socialists. NM. BRAND and
two members Of the Democratic
Left, MN. Thomson and Barthou, and one
Democratic Unionist. NJ. Caillaux. This
does not take into account Gen. Picquart,
who is not a member Of the Parliament.
The Temps calls attention TO four Foreign
who ave just quit or are about
TO quit Office. but It Gays that European
D. htics is not now in a condition where one
Minister can insure amity or u war.
