succeed him. Is known as an excep.
tionally strong man, though per.
haps not more so than viviani. who
also. has always borne a high repu-
tation for ability, energy and de-

Cambcn presumably was chosen
especially for his familiarity with
German interests, owing to his long
service as minister at Berlin.
There was much speculation con-
corning the probability of the retire
ment OF Sir Edward Grey from the
English foreign ministry. The feel

nothing to say concerning the Lon

gested that the Paris ministry's
overthrow might so heavily empha-
size the two foreign Offices failure
as TO drive Sir Edward into retire
ment.
viviani's retention in the minis
try OF justice was taken as indicat'
ing that circumstances rather than
mismana cement was blamed by his
colleagues for the events which led
to his offer to retire.
Gallieni was made military gov

not only proved an exceptionally
able administrator, but did brilliant
service with the troops he was able
to spare for a sally at just the psy-

much trusted by their own country

One surprise was the omission Of
the name Of M. ".lerand from the

The presumption was that President
