Received Favorably.
The Ciemenceau ministry on the
whole is received favorably by the
press, but the editors are all careful
to make it clear that much Is expected
OF the new premier and that failure to
produce results will meet with little
indulgence. NJ Clemenceau Is vel
coined because 1t Is believed he will
deal out exemplary justice to enemies
at home without consideration as to
who Is affected. and also will inject
new vigor into the conduct Of the war
