 PARIS, Sept. 1S.-The French min isterial declaration was read by Prof. Painleve, the new premier. in the chamber of deputies this afternoon. It re-affirms the determination of France to continue the war until disannexa- tion of Alsace and Lorraine from Ger many is assured, along with repara- ton for the damages caused by the Germans.
 The declaration of the new ministry as read by Premier Painleve begins:
 Complete Abnegnation.
 ''The war in proportion as it is pro longed, requires a more complete ab- negnation and greater spirit of sacri- 1 fee. Nearer as we approach the end the moral resistance of the nation be- comes more and more an essential cl- ement of victory. It is against that moral resistanice that our enemies, having been unable to vanquish us on the battlefield, announce they will re- double their efforts.
 Redouble Vigilance.
 "It is for the government to re double its vigilance against these in sidious enterprises and to redouble it's energy against those that lend them selves to them. In inquiries under way, as well as in any others that may be necessary, justice will follow its course without hesitation, without weakness. taking. no account of the persons involved.
 Germany Must Suffer.
 Whoever makes himself an accom- plice of the enemy must suffer the rig ors of the law. The government counts upon the patriotism of every one and upon the discipline of opinion that is necessary, that justice may ac- compllsh its work in calm dignity and and that it may be freed from impu dent generalizations and the menda cious rumors of violent political pole mis. Whatever may be the issues of these regrettable affairs, they can not affect any party"
 Regarding the war aims of France, the premier said:
 Not For Conquest.
 JiIf France pursues this war, it is neither for conquest nor out of veng- ance It is to defend its liberty. its independence and, at the same time, the liberty and independence of the civilized world.
 Her claims are the result of right itself They are independent of the fate of battles. She proclaimed them in 1870 and she proclaims them today feel the weight of her arms.
 Permanent Peace.
 The dispatch said an annexation of IAlsace-Lorraine. reparation for the ruins caused by the enemy and the conclusion of peace that will not be peace of constrained violence, com prising within itself germs of WIS to come, but a peace that is a just peace, in where there are efficacious guarantees to protect the society Of nations against all aggression from one among them. Such are the noble war aims of France, if one may speak of war aims in a country which for forty-four years, in spite of its gaping wounds, did everything to spare hu- manity the horrors of war. As long as these aims are not accomplished | t- G4h Conditions After War. Premier Painleve dwelt on the im- portance of preparing for conditions after the war, which ought to be done, "as minutely as the mobilization it. self was prepared" Among such preparations he mentioned the trans | formation of war factories to the work of peace and the loyal application of the recent reforms introduced between workers and their employees. He con cluded with a brief review of the mil itary situation, saying:
 Comments On Russia.
 "If the Russian front has caused a painful disillusion We must hope that the new republic will draw, from the very excess of peril, force to re-make the reunion and bring back discipline. On all the other battlefields, on the Carso, on the Sereth, on the Cerna and in the Artois, great things have been accomplished for months past, the results of which will be more prof itable than they as yet appear.
 "In our eastern plain the first Ameri-
