tion, of the. new German lawmakers,

bly,. .se... So BIS. -
The majority socialists are under
stood to, be-, contending' that they
should be certain of a majority which
the Independent socialists cannot dis
turb by any political maneuver. Part
;icipation Of. the centrists was assured
yesterday when they decided to work
with the new government.
The new ministers probably will
bear the title of Imperial minister
instead Of "st@te secretary" Several
of them will be without >portfolio.
even though additional portfolios be
created. The. finance ministry will be
divided into two departments, one for
special technical details and to deal
with. loans, and the other to be the
department of the imperial treasury
for the administration of socialized
public works. -.
It is possible that labor ministry
will be created. A rehabilitation min
istry and an economic ministry will be
created, in addition to reformation to
the imperial treasury department. AL
though the subject of the constitution
was on: today's program, 1t was be-
lieved that. would be impossible to
