POSITION CAUSE OF uNFAvoR.
ABLE COMMENT IN PRESS.

London. Eng, July 1s.-The new
cabinet appointments get a mixed pre-
ception in tine morning newspapers.
The majority however, are indulgent
and express a willingness to give the
appointecs chance to judge them by
results. The selection of Campbell
Geddes. who has been director gener-
al a, Of the munitions supply, to head the
British admiralty, succeeding Sir Ed
ward Carson, arrests large share of
the editorial attention. 1t is described
as startling, original and bold, but his
record and other hopes are amply re-
rcogniZcd
The reception to Winston Spencer
Churchill, who succeeds DR.. Christo-
pher Addison as minister of munitions,
Is no where enthusiastic. The Morn
ing Post, after a looked for preference
to Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, and an
attack on Edwin Samuel Montague the
new secretary for India, says of Chur-
chilli
Although we have as yet not in
vented an unsinkable ship, we have
discovered an unsuitable politician
and refers to his "colosal blunders
and oNerbearing conceit."
Two Appointments Surprises.
The new cabinet appointments ariS-
ing out of the resignation of Mr.. Cham
Deflaln as secretary for india and An
drew Bonar Laws desire TO be relieved
of his duties as a member of the small
war cabinet, Which he found incompat-
bile with his heavy responsibilities,
first as chancellor Of the eXchequer and
second as head of the house of COM
mons, complete two surprises-the ap-
pointment of Sir Eric Geddes as head
of the admiralty and Winston Spencer
Churchill as minister of munitions
