" Ribot. although an indefausaole
worker as a Deputy and subsequently as
. senator. has been neither Premier nor
even cabinet Minister since 1885, at when
5s,o RAYMOND Poincare was Minister OF
pybu, instruction in the Ribot Cabinet.
I've now Premier IS seventy-two years
old and has been Minister OF Foreign
Affairs and Minister Of the Interior. HIS
vito is an American Mary Burch' OF
chicago. and he is a warm personal
friend Of Ambassador Jusserand. This
&c the first time in the history OF France
that President Of the Republic. Presi-
dent Of the Chamber Of Deputies and
prime Minister have all three been mem
hers 81 the French Academy.
The cristence Of a Ribot Cabinet does
not modify in any way the friendly at
tuude Of the French government in re-
gard 10 President Wilson and the diplo-
matte efforts OF the Washington Cabinet
20 bring order out Of the Mexican chaos.
Since NJ. Ribots last tenure OF the
Premiership fifteen cabinets have been
formed by fourteen politicians, Aristide
BRAND having put that achievement 10
his credit on two occasions.
The greatest difficulty in the organiza-
lion Of the new Cabinet was IN finding a
man 10 be head OF the War Department
who was a supporter Of the three-year
military service law, which President
Pcircare strongly favors. and at the
same time with sufficient prestige TO meet
tho opposition from the Socialists and
from NM. CaillauX and Clemenceau in
rrs. matter. The selection therefore OF
N Delcasse is admirable from every
point Of view. AS Ambassador in 81.
Petersburg VI. Delcasse enjoyed the
f-.eudship and confidence OF the Russian
Emperor. and there is no doubt that the
Russian government will feel gratiiied
and treasured at the appointment The
interests Of the navy will be adequately
safeeuarded by NJ. Chautemps, who has
already had considerable official expert
once.
The Ribot Cabinet is in detail as FOL
