London, July 18-The new cabinet appointments get a mixed reception in the morning newspapers. The ma jorfty, however, are indulgent and express willingness to give the ap- pointees chance and to judge them by results. The selection of Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, who has been di- rector general of the munition sup ply, to head the British admiralty ar rests g. large share of the editorial attention. It is described as start ling, original and bold, but his record in other posts is amply recognized as a great one.
 The tory press deplores the removal of Sir. Edward Carson from the ad- miralty, where, it declares, he has been a great success, while the radi- calls, to whom Sir Edward is per- ennial object of dispIeasure, were dis gruntled at his admission to the in- nermost ministerial sanctum.
 The reception to Winston Spencer Churchill, who succeeds Dr. Christo- pher Addison as minister of muni- tions, is nowhere enthusiastic. The Morning Post, after a lukewarm refer ence to Sir Eric Campbell Geddes

BRICK DELAYED WORK ON BRANCH
 LIBRARIES HELD UP

Inability to get the special kind of brick required for the works has caused delay in the progress ot erecting the North End and East Side branch public libraries. It was the original intention to have the buildings completed this fall but the unexpected delay in getting material has probably made. this impossible.
 Fairly good progress has been made on the North End building but the work on the East Side structure has been slower. Not enough has been done on either building to warrant the Library board in making the first payment to the contractors.
