DELCASSE MAY Re
ON NEW CABINET
But President FaIIieres Is Said
to Favor NJ. Bourgeois as
Clemenceaus Successor.

PAI'Is, July 21.-The work Of firm
ins a new ministry to take thu placa
OF the Clemeneeau regime. which came
10 a sudden end last night. vas begu1
early today. President Fallieres Aas
visited Early in the Elysee Palace by
the retiring premier, NJ. -Glemenceau,
and later conferences were held be
tween the President and NJ. Briss OF,
president of the Chamber of Deputies.
and NJ. Dubost, president Of the Senate.
1t was assured that three members of
the old cabinet would be retained in the
reconstructed ministry. but, aside from
the question of personnel. the govern
ment advisers were principally con-
cerned in ~resolidifying the Republican
Bloc" in order that its policies may
be continued both at home and abroad.
1t is generally believed that If NJ.
Bourgeois. former minister of foreign
affairs, can be induced to accept the
task Of forming a new ministry, a
speedy solution of the crisis can be
reached.
Inc members OIL Ine RlSHI, WHICH IN
c1udes the Royalists and the Catholic
element, are intensely pleased with
the overthrow OF NJ. C~lemenceau, but
they are not likely to profit greatly by
The present situation. Aside from M.
Bourgeois, the only possible combina-
ton having more conservative tenden-
cies which has a chance of succeeding
is one with M. Poincare as chief and
NJ. Delcasse as Minister of Marine.
This combination results chiefly from
the prominence NJ. Delcasse took In the
vents leading up to NJ. C~lemenceau's
downfall, when Delcasse holly retorted
to Clemenceau's sighting illusions to
the French humiliations in the Morocco
controversy.
Sources close to NJ. Fallieres continue
to believe that the President regards
NJ. Bourgeois as best able to reunite
the discordant. elements. Circles close
to Elysee Palace expect President Fall
Heres to make a Geographic offer of the
premiership to NJ. Bourgeois tonight.
M. Bourgeois is now in Berne, Switzer-
land, where he is presiding over the In
ternational Congress of Sociology.

FREE ICE AND OUTING FUND.

The next outing under the auspices
o. the STARS Free Ice and Outing
Fund will be held Monday, July IS, and
will be known as the Arcade Theatre
Outing. as the 800 realized at the bene-
Mt performance at the Arcade Theatre
made it possible. Leon o. iMumford,
manager of the Arcade, turned over to
the STARS fund the entire proceeds Of
his theatre for an entire day about a
snonth ago.
In addition to this gift, Mr.. Num-
ford has promised to provide amuse-
ment for the children during the trip
down the bay and return.
With ten days of July left and
August. usually the hottest month in
the year yet to come, the demand for
free ice will be a very large one and
the promoters of the STARS fund hope
to see it continue to grow. There are
to be many more outings after the
Arcade excursion and for each of them
the Newark has been chartered for
the day. While they paid but $3.50 a
ton last year for ice those in charge
of the disbursement of the fund this
year have been forced to pay Sc a ton.
These extra expenses will make it
necessary for more money to be-sub-
scribed than was the case last year.
Those who have planned to aid the
sick babies through this fund are urged
TO do so at once and a general appeal
to those who believe in the work and
see its value is now made.
Next Saturday afternoon at Wieden-
mayors Park the baseball teams of the
STAR and Board of Aldermen clash for
the third time in the rubber game for
the benefit of the STARS fund. The
Price of admission is twenty-fiv cents.

moneys worth and more. The ladies
