Enemy com municatio through the mail has been completely cut off, and public money has been saved by the discovery of att tempts to hoard vital supplies to the extent of f65o,0o0 involved in rela- lively small transaction in one im- portant commodity.

who take their places as political heads Of the departments of the government, ~'.~t rh7rges are meaningless, often they are brought about merely by unimportant differences between the gov- ernnIent and the majority.
 Under the French system, the con tinuity of the work of each department is assured by the fact that it is in the hands of permanent officials who remain despite ministerial changes which merely supply new political heads for all the de- partments when the change is complete or for some of them when it is not, as is the case in the present instance. the ministries of commerce, munitions, and transportation remain in the able hands oi Messrs. Clemenceau, Loucheur and Cla- veille, their incumbents since the days of the Briand cabinet of 19l5-l9l7.
 What gives the change this time su- perlative interest is that France has called to the post of governmental lead ership not merely a new premier, but that one among her statesmen who is generally and deservedly recognized to be. above all others, her strong man.
 That he is possessed in a marked de- gree of each of the qualities which have distinguished his predecessors among the war premiers, he proved during his ear Her premiership, 1906-190s.
