PARIS, March, 2. Raymond Poin- care has agreed to form | new cabi- net. He will resume his post at the helm of France with strengthened pres tige and power as the result of the sensational crisis in which his govern ment was overthrowh.
 Word that PoincaFe had undertaken to align new government came in an official communique from the Elysee palace at the end of a day in which the statesman had conferred with po- litical leaders who were available tim Der for his new regime.
 The announcement was generally taken to mean, that he had practically completed the list of his new ministers, and expected no hitehes in the program.
 The fiery statesman. who has run the gamut of emotions in the past 24 hours emerged smiling from the Elysee palace, where he had conferred with President Millerand, and gleefully told .reportersr:
