PARIS, Nov. 24.--Followlns the con-
ference last week OF leaders of all the
parties, King Albert. according to in
formation that has reached THE Sun,
decided to reconstruct the Cabinet into
one which from its composition will
be known as the Ministry OF national
unity.
Its chief function will be to resusci-
tate the nation, restoring II a. soon
as It can be done TO It's former thriv-
ing existence, reviving with the short
est possible delay It's manufacturing,
trading and intellectual activities.
Another of its tasks will be TO undo
whatever damage the Germans have
been able to do through their ma
licious propaganda in the relations
between the Flemings and Walloons.
Despite the tremendous efforts made
by the Germans to split the country
into two parts on this line, which con-
tinued up to the very last moment Of
their stay In Belgium. the nation has
remained indivisible. and the Jennings
manifested the same feeling of joy
over their deliverance from the invad-
ers as the walloons.
A new Cabinet that represents ma
tional unity Is believed to be the best
answer to Germany's schemes. Leon
Delacroix. the leader Of the Brussels
bar, who remained there throughout
the occupation, rendering valuable
service to the population, has been
called to head the Government, which

the manifestations most picturesque.
After Chateau galins. Metz and
Saareburg in Lorraine and Mulhouse
in Alsace, Colmar and Zabern opened
their arms and poured out their hearts
to their 'liberators" with an ardor
that exceeded by far the welcome of
Metz. All through the provinces tile
smallest villages and rural districts
have shown particularly that their
loyalty to the French nation has been
deepened. rather than diminished, by
their long separation.

where u German Lieutenant developed
a sensational affair out of an insig-
nificant incident in 1918, had on It's
Christmas dress. When Gen. Dupont
arrived at the head OF his troops the
streets had been planted on both sides

connection he said:
Equal Suffrage for Mature Men.
THE Government proposes 70 the
Chambers to lower, by patriotic agree
ment, the ancient barriers and to
make the consultation of the nation a
reality on the basis of equal suffrage
for all men Of the mature age required
for the exercise of civil rights"
This statement aroused storm OF
applause from ali of the members.
Referring TO the Flemish question.
King Albert said:
1.-THE necessity Of a fruitful union
demands the sincere collaboration OF
all citizens Of the same country with
out distinction Of origin or language.
In this domain of language the strict
est equality and the most absolute JUS
tice will preside over the elaboration
OF projects which the Government will
submit TO tho na;;ona! representa-
tives.

ests of the Flemings and the walloons
