PARIS, Nov. 15.-Former Premier
Clemenceau has agreed to form a new
cabinet.
NJ. Clemenceau was at the Elysee
Palace Yesterday with President Poin-
care for more than an hour, after which
the announcement was made that the
President had offered him the mission
of forming a cabinet, which he had ac-
cepted.
On leaving the palace, NJ. Clemenceau
said:
II intend to act quickly and ration
ally. There are certain little matters
to examine and regulate and l think
shall need IS hours. | shall perhaps
be able TO give the first exact informa
tion tomorrow evening.
"The Radical and Radical Socialist
group in the senate met and adopted 4
resolution that the circumstances Of the
hour required that the best qualified men
| take office, regardless of parties. The
! corresponding group in the chamber,
after sharp discussion, adopted a reso-
| luton against the party pronouncing
against NJ. Clemenceau.
