FRENCH PEOPLE ARE UNITED
Readiness of Prominent Men to Ae.
espt Minor Office Evidence.
NEW MINISTRY IS STRONG
Pressure from without Calls At
tention to Need of stable Gov
ernment and Continuity
of Policy.

PARIS, Jan. l5.-The readiness Of such
prominent men as Leon Bourgeois,
Arisude Brian, Theophile Delcasse and
Alexandra Millerand TO accept minor
places in tha cabinet -fcrred- By -sAcnator
Raymond Poincare has created a pro-
found Impression in France. Their ac-
coptsnce is generally regarded as a
striking evidence OF the solidarity. self
sacrifice and patriotism OF Frcnehmen
at time Of national need.
The press of all opinions today COM
ment on the strength Of the new minis
try. Even tho monarchistc Galous ad-
mlts that It is tho greatest cabinet ever
formed since the foundation OF the third
republic.
The circumstances OF tho fall Of the
cabinet Of NJ. caillaux have thrown into
discussion the whole question Of the par
liamentary form Of government It is
pointed out that Frenchmen both at
home and abroad realize that the great
est defect OF modern France is to be
found in the bitter internal dissenslons
and conflicts OF the parties and in the
lack Of unity concerning problems affect
ing the progress Of the nation.
Continuity of Policy Needed.
The general feeling prevails that what
France needs is a government OF stabil-
ity and that continuity OF policy is rem
dered difficult by frequent changes in
the ministries and the absence Of CEN
tralized responsibility.
The lessons Of the past have Induced
Frenchmen to grant little power to the
president Of the republic. but wonder is
now expressed whether this system has
worked out practically.
A distinguished parliamentarlan gave
his opinion on the new cabinet today as
follows:
II regard this cabinet. which contains
the best OF the men of the French nation,
as the test Of parliamentarism. II a
cabinet composed of such men Is Is be
overthrow on some petty issue II will
be time for all Frenchmen TO conside
seriously some change in the form Of
government"
A new feature Of the present ministry
is that Aristide BRAND. the minister Of
justice, is named vice president OF the
cabinet which means that he will repre-
sent the government In Parliament and
elsewhere in the absence Of Premier
Berncal.
Italy Arming Against Austria.
VIENNA, Jan. i5.-Considerable sensa-
ton has been caused in political circles
here by some recent speeches delivered
by Baron Fuchs, the clerical leader, who
declared that Italy is arming against
Austria and when the war In Tripoli is
over the king Of Italy must either FIGHT
Austria or go into exile
Baron Fuchs also insisted that the in
innate relations which have for so long
existed between Austria and Germany
are becoming weaker as the result Of
Austria's failure to support her ally dur
ing the Moroccan crisis. He likewise
complains that Austria's relations with
the Russian empire had not been well
Landed.
Baron Fuchs is said to have demanded
an explanation from the Austrian foreign
minister. Count AlOis Lexas Won
Aehrenthal. Of tho ezd differences be-
tween Austria and Germany, OF which
he is said he possessed accurate knowI-
edge; but the foreign minister maintained
absolute silence on the subject. Baron
Fuchs, therefore, considered that he was
perfectly justified IL expressing publicly
his dissatisfaction whit Count Won
Aehrenthars foreign policy.
