that he considers himself unpossessed
of qualities requisite for the premier
ship and also believes that the pre-
miership would compel him to follow
most closely the proceedings of Par
lament, and thus make IT impossible
for him To devote himself exclusively
to the work of the department of ma
rine.
When the Office was rendered him.
NJ. Poincare requested of President
Fallieres time for reflection. He Will
not give definite answer until to-
morrow. Personally he is in favor of
a member of the Chamber of Deputies
holding the reins of government, and
in the event of his refusal to accept
the post it seems most likely that
Former Premier BRAND may be re-
called to conduct the government.
A striking feature of the present
crisis is the emphasis in the official
communications of President Fallieres
who has particularly discussed with
the statesmen the foreign policies Of
France, especially the Franco German
accord and its position before the
Senate The suggestion of NJ. Del
Case for the premiership caused the
greatest interest throughout France.
II might be said that the country was
divided into two camps, one earnestly
wishing to see NJ. Del Casse premier
or in the foreign office sa a lesson to
Germany and the other opposing his
occupation of an office which deals
with foreign relations from fear that
he might bring about complications
with Germany. All groups of the ma
jority are united in the belief that the
present crises demands cabinet
headed by a man strong and capab bic
enough to command the confidence
and support of both houses of Parlia :
ment.
1t is understood that in declining the
premiership, NJ. Bourgeois assured
President F'allieres Of his readiness to
support anyone whom he might chose
for the position, and that he Bourgeois,
would take the foreign office. In the
event of NJ. Poincare being prime min
lister. his cabinet will include, besides
M. Bourgeois. NJ. Del Case and Alex
|andere Millerand, ex-minister of posts
and telegraphs, and that portfolio
will also be offered NJ. BRAND.
