PARIS, Oct. 2S.-The resignation of
the entire French cabinet, headed by
Rene Viviani, was announced official
ly today.
President Poincare, it was stated Of
ficially, asked Aristide BRAND to
form a new ministry,
The shake-up was attributed mainly
to general dissatisfaction with the
governments foreign policy, especial
ly in connection with the German
diplomatic victory which brought
Bulgaria into the war on the Teu-
tonic allies side.
The chamber of deputies adjourned
a stormy session at the request of M.
Vlviani, who asked that discussion
of cabinet crisis be put over until
tomorrow. BRAND gave his consent.
Probable New Cabinet.
oficial announcement of q recon-
structed cabinet was expected hourly.
Best information was that it would
be MADE up as follows:
Briand-Premier and minister of for
eign affairs.
Jules Can,bon--Generai secretary.
Do Freycinet--Vice- president of cabinet
without portfolio.
viviani-Ministcr of justice.
Galiieni--Minister of war.
Admiral Lacaze-Minister Of marine.
Ribot--Minister of finance.
Doumer gue-dinister OF colonies.
PainIeve--Minister Of education and in
49,
Bourgeois. Combes, Denys Cochin and
Jules Guosde--Ministers without port
folios.
In France. as we'll as in England,
the decision by Bulgaria, which had
been wayering between joining the
allies and the central powers to cast
in it's lot with the latter was at
tributed to diplomatic laundering.
DeIcasse Led Way.
Foreign Minister Delcasse was the
first French cabinet member to- sur
render his portfolio. Premier viviani
took over his work. The change
proved insufficient to meet the popu-
lar demand for a strengthened min
istry. and today's offer by VIVIAN 70
vield the premiership was the sequel.

tionally strong man. though perhaps
not more so than Viviani, who ais1

cambon presumably was chosen
especially for his familiarity Win
Gernan interests, owing to his long
service as minister at Berlin.
viyiani's retention in the ministry
~ i,,stice was taken as indicating
that circumstance rather than mis-
arrangement was blamed by his col
eognes for the events which led to
his offer to retire.
Galiieni Hero of Paris.
Gallieni was made military governor

only proved an exceptionally able ad-
ministrator. but did brilliant service

Germans on the Marine.

hold his old office, no change having
been made in the finance ministry.
Doumergue, Painleve. Bourgeois and
premier-all are of more than national
reputation. The others are little
known outside of France. but are
much trusted by their own country
men.
Millerand Is Dropped.
One surprise was the omission OF
the name of M. Millerand from the
new list. 1t had been generally con-
sidered that his work as war min
lister had been particularly able. The
presumption was that President Poin-
cares advisers felt that the war
minister of a war cabinet could not
be consistently retained when the
cabinet itself was overthrown.
There was much speculation con-
cerning the probability OF the retire
ment of Sir Edward Grey from the
English foreign ministry. The feel
ing in France is that British diplo-
macy was quite as much to blame
