POINCARE'S WORK

PARIS. April 5.-(By Associated
Press. Premier Poincare depend the
mystery of how he gets through his work
when he formed his new ministry last
week. AT noon of the second day of the
cabinet crisis, the premier had received
at the Quai d'Orsay only two of his old
colleagues and tive new possible eandi-
dates, one of whom had declined to serve
and the other reserved decision.
French journalists who nave been
following cabinet making for years. be.
gan to shake their heads, remarking
1T is moi going at all we'll; Poincare
has only two certainties for the new
combination and they are hold-overs.'
A few minutes later the semi-official
French news agency made public list
of probable choices for the cabinet
which turned out to be correct.
Experienced specialists in parliamen.
tary reporting were at loss to ac-
count for. the manner an which they
had been eluded. The premier dislikes
the telephone quite as much as the
typewriter and stenography, and could
not, in their opinion. have conducted
his negotiations overnight by wire. The
legislation will probably be one of the
disclosures that he will incorporate in
his memoirs when .e finally gets
through with public life.
