Paris, Sept. I'm. Painleve has
succeeded In organizing a ministry to
replace the Ribot cabinet. For a time
the Socialistic radical group presented
an obstacle to the formation Of q min

radical members of the cabinet as Sc

These men informed the party that
they had accepted the portfolios before
the party had reached this decision
and there was n bond of honor to re-
main. The matter then was dropped.
The unified Socialist group met in
the chamber this afternoon and dis
cussed a motion introduced by the
Guesde faction opposing any policy of
irreconcilable exclusion of certain per-
sons from that ministry and appealing
in the interests of national defense for
