PO|NCARE TO STAY
Premier, Considering Resig-
nation With Budget Ap-
proved, Retains Post.
BY the Associated Press.

Ey tuc ASSOCldteO ETeSS.
PARIS, December 31-Premier Poin-
care today frankly told his cabinet that
he had accomplished his main task and
was ready to resign because of present
unrest. The cabinet, however persuaded
him he had much to do particularly in
regard to reparations, and M. Poincare
agreed to remain.
AT the opening of the cabinet ses-
sion Premier Poincare told his COL
leagues that he had reorganized the
Armistice day ministry in order to
insure prompt adoption of the budget.
This had been done before the end
of the year, and, as stabilization of
money was assured, he felt his work
was done.
The premier concluded by saying
that in view of the complex political
situation, he would present the cabi-
nets resignation to President Dou-
mergue.
All the ministers devoted themselves
to convincing the premier that the
government faces grave problem in
revision OF reparation and adjustment
OF domestic political differences. They
unanimously declare that Poincare's
continuance as head of the govern
ment was Indispensable
Polncare finally agreed to remain.
Thus IN the opinion of his supporters.
ne definitely avoided crisis and great
ly strengthened his hand by compel
ling the whole cabinet, in which there
was reported to be dissention, to insist
upon his retention in the leadership.
The premier therefore will face Parlia-
ment when it convenes on January
and lead debate on the general policy
OF the government, which teh cabinet
decided today shall be on lines al

PARIS, December 31-Beginning to-
morrow the old-style courts s-martial,
with their swift and summary justice or
injustice, will be abolished in France
both in peace time and war time, and a
new system of true military courts will
be established.
This reform is the outgrowth of GER
tain deplorable incidents of military
justice during the World War, in which
French soldiers who were the fathers of
families were shot for minor offenses or
on insufficient evidence.
In the new law an effort Is made to
harmonize the military with the civil
code. A superior officer can order a
trial of an inferior for infraction of dis
cipline or commission of crime, but
there the officers power ends. The
case thence forth passes into the hands
of an autonomous military court. The
evidence is prepared by a professional
military judge and professional mill
tary States attorney.
For war time, special corps OF mill
tary defending attorneys will be trained
and placed at the disposition Of the ac-
