Is proving most effective In combating

New Cabinet In France.
The demands Of the Socialists
brought about q change Of ministry inl
France last week. but this In no wayl
weakened the government or it's con-
duct Of the war. Premier Ribot and
his colleagues resigned and Paul Pain
leve, who was minister Of war, became
premier, and after several vain at
tempts succeeded in forming ministry
that was fairly satisfactory to all fac
tons. Painleve and the new cabinet
are pledged to prosecute the war to
final victory and to wipe out the stains
Of German propaganda that led to the
resignation of Minister Of the InteriOri
Malvey and ultimately to the downfall
of the Ribot ministry. Henry Frank
lin-Bouillon, president Of the French
parliamentary committee Of foreign ac-l
ton, who Is now In this country, saysl
no one doubted the patriotism of the
RibOt ministry and that its fall means
a wider participation in the govern
ment by all political parties and rep
resents the will OF the people to make
the government as strong as possible
for the effective prosecution of the
war.
Warning Against German Scheme.
Following its raids on the 1. W. Wi
and other prO-German agencies the
government through Secretary Lansing
issued a warning that Germany is dis
seminating insidious peace propaganda
in this country designed to halt our
preparations for war. The headquar-
tiers for this work is in Zurich, Swift
erland, and it is being carried on here
by German spies, certain German
Americans and pacifsts. Mr.. Lansing
intimated there would soon be some
sensational arrests, and said the secret
service had possession of startling evil
dence. In line with this was the raid
by government agents on the Offices OIL
the Philadelphia Tageblatt and the ar
rest Of its editors. The documents
seized showed the paper was involved
In a conspiracy against the United
States and received regular money con.
tributlons from some one In Mexico,l
and that the war news" it published
was deliberately faxed to bolster thei
German cause and inJure America. InI
the correspondence found were letters
from Senator La Toilette and SEVERAL
other prominent men In congress.
The work of disIoyal German-Amer-
lean papers was given a hard blow byl
the senate on Wednesday. The trad-I
ing with the enemy bill was passed.
with an amendment making unlawful
the hrinting of war comment in thel
German language without a completed
English translation in a parallel COLI
umn. Other provisions in the bill in.I
terdiet commerce between Americana
and Germans or their allies, extend thsi
presidential powers over exports and
imports and enlarge espionage powers.
For conserIptlon Of Allies.

service aliens OF draft age, except ma
tionals OF Germany and it, allies an,
nationals of countries exempted from
