ABLE men TO SERVE
IN FRENCH CABINET
Poincare Having Little Trouble
in Securing Talent for
New Ministry.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The readiness of
such men as Leon Burgeois. Aristide
Brian, Theophile Delcasse and Alex
andre Millerand to accept minor places
in the cabinet formed by Senator Ray
mond Poincare has created a profound
impression in France. Their accept
ance is generally regarded as a strik-
ing evidence Of the solidarity, self sac
rifice and patriotism Of Frenchmen at
a time of national need.
The press Of all opinions today COM
ment on the strength of the new min
istry. Even the monarchistic Gauloia
admits hat 1t Is the greatest cabinet
ever formed since the foundation Of the
third republic.
The circumstances Of the fall of tho
cabinet OF M. Vaillaux have thrown
Into discussion the whole question of
the parliamentary form Of government.
1t is pointed out that Frenchmen both
at home and abroad realize that tho
greatest defect of modern France Is to
be found in the bitter internal dissent
sions and conflicts Of the parties and
in the lack of unity concerning prob
lens affecting the progress Of the ma
ton. ,
The general feeling prevails that
what France needs Is a government of
stability and that continuity of policy
is rendered difficult by frequent
changes in the ministries and the aba
absence Of centralized responsibility.
The lessons of the past have induced
Frenchmen to grant little power to tho
president OF the republic, but wonder
is now expressed whether this system
has worked out practically.

ITALIAN VICTORIES
BRANDED AS FAKES
Life With the Army in Tripoll
Is Declared to Be Very
Unpleasant.

Rome, Jan. 15.-Letters from Italian
officers and men serving with the in
vading army in Tripoli and C~yrenaica,
received by their friends in Italy, de-
scribe in detail the extremely I'M
pleasant position of the Italian troops
at the front.
Fights which have been claimed as
italian victories in official dispatches
from the commander in chief Of the
Italia expeditions, are said by these
correspondents to have been reverses.
The Italians appear to be suffering
more severely in the vicinity of Derna
than at other points. The troops who
are engaged in protecting the engi-
neers employed on the construction Of
~aqueducts to bring water into the
town have frequent furious engage
ments with the Turks n their Arab
allies. Detachments of the latter make
h%arrasslng attacks on the Italian out
posts day after day.
One Italian officer, writing to his
father, says hat the Italian army has
lost a large number Of men in these
engagements. Another letter from a
private says that in one battle regi-
ments of Grenadiers and ~Bersaglieri
were nearly wiped out of existence.
Still another letter says that the
Italians on n occasion ran out Of
ammunition, while the Turks and
Arabs, well supplied, succeeded in
killing and w%ounding 100 of the Italian
soldiers, many of whom were mere
boys who in their panic cried for their
mothers.

CALLED OUT
IN TEXTILE STRIKE
Militia Summoned to Aid Law
renee Police in Quel-
ling Disorder.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 15.-Disorders
before the gates of the great textile
mills Of Lawrence became so frequent
and menacing today that two ccmpa-
MES of militia were called from the ar
mory to assist the police in controlling
the turbulent foreign operatives. The
uproar at the mill gates was so great
that seven of the big plants were shut
down. Several shots into the air were
hred by the police and some arrests
We're made
During the raids on the mills a dozen
or more operatives were injured, but
none seriously. 1t Is estimated thai
nearly 10000 hands are idle, half Of
whom are actually on strike and the
others forced out by the stoppage of the
machinery. The trouble, which began
eral Of the mills and injured employees
duction in wages necessitated, the
manufacturers say, by a cut In the
working time from Sc to 81 hours a
week, by a new state law governing es-
~tablishments where ome and minors
are employed.
The mills closed are the Wood, Aver
and Washington. controlled by the
American Wooden company and en-
ploying $4,000 persons; the cotton mills
or the Arlington, Everett, Pemberton
corporation and the mills of the Law
renee DUCK company. employing 5000
more.
Other wooden and cotton mills, the
employees of which aggregate $500, are
running on a small scale. 1t was be-
ileved that practically every mill in
Lawrence would be forced to close.

ENGLISH COAL STRIKE
FAVORED BY Miners
Dealers Reap Harvest as Result
of Threatened Shortage
in the Market.

London. Jan. 15.-Coal dealers here
are reaping a rich harvest as a con-
sequence of the ballot of the coal
miners, which unofficial reports state
to be largely in favor of a nation wide
strike for a fixed minimum wage. The
dispute affects about 5000 men.
There is no doubt that the requisite
two-thirds majority in favor of a strike
has Deer secured. but that fact does
not necessarily mean that the strike
will occur, for the employers and work
ers have until the end OF February to
reach a settlement and the prospects
of an agreement being arrived at are
favorable.
The public, however, appears not to
be aware of this circumstance and
orders are pouring in to the coal
dealers. The result is that the price
of coal at the mine head has beer
raised SO cents a tone for the best
household coal, while retail dealers
have increased the price to the con-
sumers from rs to "a cents a ton.
The admiralty is storing big reserves
of coal and orders have been issued to
commanders of war vessels to econo-
mize and to utilize oil fuel as much as
possible.
