FORM A CABINET
France Has One Representing
All Political Parties.
Seven Were Members of the
RibOt Ministry.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE new French
cabinet contains a new ministry at
first called the ministry of propaganda
but later changed to minister of mis-
sions abroad. Owing to the absence
of Franklin Bouillon, the new post is
not listed with the other ministry
designations in the official journal.
The new ministry consists of fifteen
titular ministers, four ministers of
state and eleven under secretaries.-The
new ministers are divided among five
senators and eleven deputies. Two
members, Louis Loucheur and Albert
Claveille, do not belong to parliament.
The eleven under secretaries are all
members of the chamber of deputies.
Sixteen of the new cabinet members
have been ministers or under secre-
taries in previous cabinets and three
are former premiers.
The political groups represented in
the new ministry do not include the
unified Socialists.
Rene Viyiani a Member.
Premier Painleve represents the So
cialist Republican group, while the
Socialist radicals have three mem
bers. the Radicals left three, the Re
publican union of the senate two, the
Republicans of the left one and the
Radical Republican union seven mem
bers.
Seven members of the Ribot minis
try retain places in the new cabinet.
The most noted perhaps of the Ribot
ministry to go are Rene Viviani and
Albert Thomas.
The Ribot ministry failed last Sun
day night when NJ. Thomas withdrew
and Prof. Paul Painleve followed him,
being unwilling to remain in a cabinet
where the Unified Socialists We're not
represented. Professor Painleves
first combination met the same fate
late Tuesday night when the Unified
Socialists also refused to cooperate
with him principally because Alex
andre Ribot remained as a minister.
President Poincare insisted that Pro-
fessor Painleve continue his efforts to
form a cabinet

that stand
Baer says farmers in the northwest
are not holding back their grain but
that the harvest is late and the crop
scarce.
The food administration anticipates
no general boarding by farmers.

TO FREE BELGIUM
Central Powers Reply to POpe's
Peace Proposal.
Kaiser Protests American POIit-
icaI Influence in Germany.

Rome, Sept. 14.-Reply of the cen
trail powers to Pope Benedict's peace
note was received by the vatican to-
day.
It was reported the reply favors
absolute independence for Belgium"
demanding that King Albert's coun-
try be independent of all military
and economic alliances"
Formal announcement of the re-
ceipt of the Teutonic reply and in
formation as to whether it was joint
or group answer, was withheld by the
vatican.
Agree Upon German Reply.
Berlin. via London, Sept 14.-Ger-
many's reply to Pope Benedict as
agreed upon will specifically declare
that Germany has no desire to inter-
fere in the Internal affairs of other
nations. according to the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger
The form and text of the reply
was approved today by leaders of the
special reichstag committee named
by Chancellor Michaelis to aid in con-
sideration of the matter.
The Lokal Anzeiger laid stress ON
the fact that the note does not re-
cemble the American reply in that it
fatty holds no one nation shall mix
in the international policies of an
other.
President Wilson's reply empha-
sized the necessity that the German
people themselves assume control of
government, and this is evidently the
provision at which Germany is aiming
in her disclaimer of any similar
views as to other nations.

MARBLE UPS APPOINTMENT
CAUSES WRATH TOuMnFORMED

The Marble Booster declared last week
that the county commissioners had
slapped Marbles largest business in
terests because 7. A. Boughton and C.
L. Summers were appointed justices Of
the peace instead Of C. E. Budlong.
Now Mr.. Budlong has always seemed
an excellent gentleman, but contrary to
the belief Of the Booster, Marble people
didn't want him. 1t is true the petition
for his appointment was signed by seven
reputable business men, but unfortun-
ately the petition for the appointment
Of Messrs. Boughton and Summers was
signed by FORTY-SIX business men
and tax payers count them-46.
The commissioners could hardly have
appointed Mr.. Budlong under those cir
cumstances, could they? Turning down
forty-six to please seven, even tho the
esteemed Booster was among the seven,
would not be right. Another thing 10
that Mr.. BudIong was candidate for
this same Office last fall and was defeat.
