New Cabinet in France.
The demands of the Socialists
brought about change Of ministry In |
France last week, but this In no way |
weakened the government or its 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
tions. 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 Interior
Malyey and ultimately to the downfall
of the Ribot ministry. Henry Frank
lin-BouillOn, president OF the French
parliamentary committee Of foreign ac-
ton, who is now In this country, says
no one doubted the patriotism of the |
Ribot ministry and that Its fall means
wider participation In the govern
meht by all poIiticaf parties and rep
resents the will of the people to make
the government as strong as possible
for the effective prosecution of the
war.

Following Its raids on the |. w. w.
and other pro-German agencies, the
/ government through Secretary Lansing
! issued a warning that Germany Is dis
seminating nsidious peace propaganda
in this country designed to halt our
preparations for war. The headquar-
/ ters for this work Is In Zurich. SwitZ-
/ erland, and II Is being carried ON here
by German spies, certain German
intimated there would soon kc some
sensational arrests, and said the secret
Service mad possession of startling evil
dence. In line with this was the raid
by government agents on the offices Of
the Philadelphia Tageblatt and the ar
rest of its editors. The documents
seized showed the paper was involved
In conspiracy against the United
States and received regular money con-
trbutions from some one In Mexico,
and that the war news" 1t published
was deliberately faxed to bolster the
German cause and injure America. In
the correspondence found were letters
from Senator La Toilette and several
other prominent men in congress.
