To Demand Reason
For Ousting Ribot
Deputy to InterpelIate Govern
ment; Painleve's Move Does
Not Satisfy Radicals

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The press receives
with anything but enthusiasm the
effort of Premier Painleve to escape
from his difficulties by the change in
the Foreign portfolio. 1t is not ex-
pected that the present Cabinet Will
remain in power for any great length
of time. and on the part Of many 1t is
not wished for.
The Socialists and Radicals have de-
cided to continue to support the MIN
istry, but the Unified Socialists, who
also held a meeting. we're non-commit'
tai. The Premier apparently does not IN
tend TO appoint another Minister OF
State in place of J. Louis Barthou, who
Yesterday was appointed Foreign MIN
ister in place of Ribot, so that the
ministry will be reduced from nineteen
TO eighteen members.
This has aroused some comment, foI
il is known that the Premier's trst IN
tention was drastic readjustment
with an increase in the number OF MIN
listers. Several of the new members
were to have been Socialists. 1t was
only when he was dissuaded from such
action by various leaders whom he con.
suited and by the refusal Of Rene
Viviani and Albert Thomas to join the
Cabinet that he decided TO confine him
self to replacing NJ. Rlbot in the For
eign Office. :,
The choice Of NJ. Barthou is wei
coined unreservedly only by the most
moderate commentators. The "Gaulois
recalls that it vas VI. Barthou's energy
and sagacity which forced parliament
10 mass the three-year military service
bill in 1913. which is the reason why
his appointment is displeasing to the
Radicals.

that he will interpellate the govern
ment in the Chamber Of DEPUTIES or

Seamen's Law Breaks
U.S.Treaty With Spain
State Department Seeks to
Revoke Conflicting
Provisions

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Spain has
come into conflict with the seamen's
law and the United States with the
provisions Of Articles % and "a OF
Spanish-American friendship and gen.
eral relations treaty Of 1908. As re-
suit. the State Department is seeking
the denunciation Of the articles in
question.
The Spanish Embassy here has cabled
to the Foreign Office at Madrid the
steps taken by the State Department
and the action Of the American au-
thorities in q case at New Orleans. A
seaman deserted Spanish ship at that
port, and the Spanish captain, through
the Spanish consular officer, sought 70
have him returned to the vessel. Inc
seaman. on the other hand, claimed the
protection Of the seamen's act.
The American authorities not only
refused 70 arrest the seaman, in accord
ance with the treaty pro Hsion, but ioi-
lowed the stipulations of the seamen'
act. and instead held the Spanish sea
captain in $1,000 bail.
The articles Of the treaty held to be
in conflict with the law, which articles
the State Department desires to de-
nounce, provide in part that:
Federal. state or municipal autnori
ties in the United States, or authori-
ties or courts in Spain, shall render
forcible aid 10 consular officers, when
they may ask it, TO search for, arrest
and imprison all persons composing
the crew (of a vessel Of either party
in the waters Of the other), whom they
NAV deem it necessary TO confne
Those persons shall be arrested at the
sole request Of the consul"

Stovall Forecasts
Revolt in Germany
People Slowly Realizing War
Is Failure, Says Minis
ter to Swiss

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-No imme-
date prospect of peace, despite Ger
many's gradual weakening of morale
in civilian population and army, is
seen by Pleasant A. Stovall, Minister
to Switzerland, who called on President
Wilson to-day on his first return from
his post in four years.
"The German people," said Mr. Sto-
vail, "are slowly realizing that the war
is a total failure. As this spirit
grows, it will cause some sort of a
revolution, but do not think any one
can forecast what form this will take.
Food and other economic conditions in
Germany are very bad and growing
worse"
Switzerland, the minister declared,
was genuinely neutral and will not
abandon that position. The Swiss So
ciety of superintendent has been sue
cessful, ne said, in preventing expor-
tation to Germany and Austria of ma
terials imported from Allied countries.
