NEW CABINET
NOT FORMED
Premier Ribot of France Admits That
He Has Failed to Secure
Support of the
Socialists.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
PARIS, Sept. 10.-Failure OF Pre-
mier Ribot to form new ministry
was formally announced today. His
resignation with the entire cabinet
is believed to have been submitted.
The Echo D'Paris announced in its
eaEly edition that the present min
lister of war, M. Pailleve. would be
entrusted with the task of forming a
new ministry.
Ribot informed President Poincare
of his inability to form a new cabinet
here last night. The socialists who
had forced the ministerial crisis,
refused to elaborate. At midnight
socialists confirmed the fact that
they were unwilling to lend respons-
ibflity for construction of the cabinet.
Albert Thomas, minister Of NUM-
lions and socialist, had previously
withdrawn his support from Ribot in
pursuance Of his party's decision.
His decision was reported late in the
afternoon, but Ribot still insisted he
would be able to reconstruct his
ministry.
Late in the evening, however, M.
Painleve announced his withdrawal
Of support.

Everywhere the most prominent

Mrs. Dewey, who lives at 1912 Cut

"You know how much noise twin

Three Of the dearest children in
the world nearly drove Mrs. John
Dewey to distraction until Tanlac
toned up her nerves. She now sleeps
soundly every night. no matter how
full the day has been with worries
and problems such as only loving
and busy mother can know.
: The "Tan1ac Twins" and their baby
brother are active every minute from
the time they open their eyes in the
morning until their adoring mother
sings them to sleep at night.
Mrs. Dewey's greatest joy in life is
her family No effort is too much
for her to make and no youngsters
anywhere now have better care or
attention than John. Frank and Baby
George. because their mother is not
harassed by health worries.

Postmaster at Des Moines Wants
People at Home to Secure Com
pany and Resimental Desig-
nation First.
OTHERWISE Is DELAYED
All Mail Not SO Addressed Must be
Held up Until Military Authorl-
ties Can Secure
Addresses.

Don't be in too big hurry to write
that drafted man at Camp Dodge. be
cause if you do, he is liable not to gel
his letter without considerable delay
whereas if you wait until you get his
address by company and regiment, his
mail will go right through. This Is the
advice from G.. A. Huffman, postmast
er at Des Moines.
Following is a statement from Mr.
Huffman which he is asking the news
papers to publish, and which it woulo
be we'll for friends of the draft men tc
clip out and follow:
Each man is assigned directly to
his company and regiment immed-
lately upon his arrival at Camp
Dodge and when notifying his cor
respondents of his safe arrival, he
can furnish them with his proper
address which would be the COM
pany and regiment, and then all
mail addressed o him, showing
company and regiment, would go
directly to him without any delay.
If correspondents would wait
to secure proper address before
writing to the selected man, 1t will
relieve the postofiice and war de-
partment this extra handling,
avoid the necessary delay of sup
plying addresses, which takes a
great deal of time, and letters Will
reach addressee promptly.
Proper address is as per this
sample:
Private John Jones,
Company A, 350th Infantry,
Camp Dodge. Iowa.
The postoftice and war department
have arranged to have all mail that Is
not addressed to comEany and fegl
ment, turned over to the military
forces to supply the company and reg1
ment. it is then turned back to the
postoffice department. for distribution
AS these letters are very numerous, l.
means a delay to letters that are MOI
properly addressed.
