the new ministry had arrived at the
castle.
Immediately afterwards Viscount
Fitzalan with two aides, arrived, and
they all proceeded to the privy coun
cil chamber where the transfer of pow
ers was effected. From an early hour
all approaches to the castle were
blocked by good-humored crowds
watching for what was described as
the “fall of Dublin Castle.” The met
ropolitan police dealt in a friendly
manner with all crowds.
London. Dublin advices indicate
that the governmental departments at
Dublin Castle will be handed over to
the cabinet of the new Irish provision

ceremony is to take, but one generally
accepted is that the Irish ministers will
enter the castle and there be received

ALLIED DEBT FUNDING
BILL IS APPROVED
Provisions Objected to By Secretary
of Treasury Mellon Are
Eliminated
Washington.—With the provisions
objected to by Secretary Mellon elim
inated the, allied foreign debt refund
ing bill was favorably reported Mon
day to the senate by its finance com
mittee.
Chairman McCumber said it was the
purpose to press the measure for pas
sage without waiting for the adjourn
ment of the arms conference.
Except for a provision that the re
funded bonds to be accepted from the
foreign governments shall mature not
later than June 15, 1947. the measure
virtually Is in the form In which it
was passed by the house last October.
No soldier bonus provision was added
to the bill and was not discussed.
Provisions which were stricken out
called for semi-annual interest pay
merits and for interest at a rate of not
less than 5 per cent. Under Hie pro
visions interest payments would have
fallen due within six months after the
refunded bonds had been negotiated,
whereas the treasury desired to have
the authority to defer interest pay
ments in the case of some countries
not in a position to begin making pay
m.ents within possibly a year or two.
The provision limiting the life of the
bonds to accepted from the foreign
governments to 25 years remained in
the bill. The measure sets up a com
mission with authority, subject to the
approval of the president, to refund or
convert and to extend the time of pay
ment of the principal or the interest,
or hot li.
The treasury secretary would be
chairman of the commission, the other
members to be appointed by the presi
dent, subject to senate confirmation.

MILLERAND APPROVES
CABINET SELECTIONS
Appointments Include Four Senators
and Ten Members of Chamber
of Deputies
Paris. —Raymond Poincare, who suc
ceeds Aristide Brinnd as premier of
France, completed his ministry and
presented their names to Provident
Millerand. The president accepted the
designations.
The new premier achieved a notable
success In limiting the ministerial
crisis to three days but failed to ac
complish tbe desire with which he was
credited, of forming n cabinet of wide
national union on the lines of the cabi
nets formed in 1914 and 1915. while he
was president. Not that he could be
expected to include socialists, for their
press has ceased on his return to
power to revive charges that he per
sonally was responsible for the war.
His partial failure as explained by
the Petit Parisien may be attributed
in part to the fact that the situation,
although grave, cannot compared
to that of ,1914 and 1915. The chamber
elected in 1919 comprises a majority
known as the national bloc, which is
in opposition on internal policy to the
socialist radical group, which previous
ly was the largest nnd most, important
group in the chamber.
Os the 11 ministers, four are sen
ators—Poincare. Peyronnet. Strauss
and Cheron, and 10 are members nf the
chamber of deputies. AU the under
secretaries are deputies. AU groups
forming the left side of parliament are
represented: the Socialists and the
Rightists are not.

that M. Poincare told Mr. Lloyd George
that France would bp represented nt

participation is by no means accepted
by the press ns obligatory nnd inevi

“The postmaster general and I have
been discussing at length the proposal
which has been made to him to be
come the head of a nationaljissociation
of motion picture producers and dis
tributors. If the arrangement proves
to be, when the details are worked out,
what It seems to be, I cannot well in
terpose my objection to Mr. Hays re
tiring from the cabinet to take up a
work so important. It is too great an
opportunity for a helpful public ser
vice for him to refuse. 1 shall be more
than sorry to have him retire from the
cabinet, where he has already made so
fine a record, but we have agreed to
look upon the situation from the
broadest viewpoint and seek the high
est public good.”

make certain the carrying out of the
high purposes contemplated by this
great industry.”

ing the matter, said no date for his
retirement had been decided on, that

tion picture interests. He said that ns

position, bur it has been reported as
upwards of $150,000 a year.

members who called on him soon after

my lease of Muscle Shoals won’t cost
them anything. I don’t want anything
to do with it,” Mr. Ford told newspa
per men. He added that “somebody
is spending money to defeat the offer.”
Te Detroit manufacturer said that if
Ills offer was accepted he would make
Muscle Shoals an object lesson for the
people of the country, proving to them
that tremendous economies could be ef
fected by means of the nation's water
ways.
Twenty dams could be constructed
on the Mississippi between St. Louis
and Delta, Mr. Ford said, which would
heat, light nnd Cook for millions of
families, the power developed being
sold for enough to repay the govern
ment for the cost of construction as
well as giving the nation a highly val

The government could do the wora.
sell the power nnd wipe out the origi
nal cost, he said.

NINE OLD SUBS SERVE
AS TARGETS FOR FLEET
Obsolete Submarines Sunk in Pacific
Ocean Outside Manila Bay
Says Cablegram
Washington.—Nine of Uncle Sam’s
old submarines have just ended their
careers by serving as targets for the
guns of the destroyer squadrons at
tached to the Asiatic fleet. A brief
cablegram telling of the completion of
the target practice which had been go
ing on during the past two weeks was
received at the navy department. The
resting place of these obsolete subma
rines Is not “home waters” but in the
Pacific outside Manila bay.
Eight of them had months ago been
decreed worthless and placed out of
commission. The A-2, A-4, A-6, A-7,
and B-2 were taken off the active list
Dec. 12. 1919. The A-3, A-5. and B-3
were declared obsolete July 25, 1921.
and the B-l, joined them on December
1.
Coincident with the passing of these
old boats, early types of American
built submersibles, 10 S-boats, some of
them the best the navy has, have ar
rived at Oavlte and have replaced
them with the Asiatic fleet.
The safe arrival at Cavite marked
the «nd of a journey of more than
half way around the world, from the
submarine base at New London. Conn.,
down the Atlantic coast, through the
canal and across the Pacific, a dis
tance of more than 13.000 miles. Os

ing to Form New
Cabinet.
Paris.—Premier Brland submitted
his resignation to President Millerand
at the Elysee Palace Thursday after
making a lengthy statement before the
chamber of deputies, justifying his at
titude at the Cannes conference.
M. Bria nd's Intention to resign wus
announced to the chamber at the close
of his hour’s speech, the announce
ment coming as an entire surprise, as
he had apparently won the sympathy
of the chamber. His colleagues of the
cabinet were filled with amazement at
his sudden determination,
M. Brland. after making his an
nouncement, left the chamber at once.
The members of the cabinet followed
as soon as they had recovered from*
their surprise.
Groups of deputies nnd government
officials speedily gathered in excited
discussions of the seriousness of the
situation, seeking away out of the
difficulty.
The entire French cabinet went out
of office with Premier Brland.
President Millerand accepted the
resignation of Premier Brland and his
entire cabinet.
Premier Brland announced his res
ignation to the chamber after an hour’s
speech in which he justified his atti
tude at the Cannes conference, appar
ently carrying the chamber with him.
Later he and all the members of his
eablnet went to the Palace of the
Elysee and formally presented their
resignations to President Millerand.
It developed after the surprising and
wholly unexpected action of the pre
mier that he had not finally deter
mined to resign when he entered the
chamber, but that he construed the
opening address of Raoul Peret. presi
dent of the chamber, as an attack on
the government and plainly showed his
resev tment.
Raymond Poincare, former president
of France, was seeking Friday to forr.i
a cabinet to succeed that under Aris
tide Brland which resigned. The man
ner of M. Brlnnd’s dramatic exit, how
ever, while on the apparent verge of
an overwhelming vote of confidence In
the chamber of deputies, has caused a
reaction in his favor, nnd besides, M.
Poincare has a strong opposition in
parliament.
