Complete identity of views was brought out in an Interview between M. Millerand and M. Feret, the outcome of which was the latter's acceptation to head the new Cabinet. It is said the position * Finance Minister will be offered to former President Poincare. while former Premier Briand will be asked to assume that of Minister of Foreign Affairs,

According to "La Temps" # delegation representing various 'actions of the Chamber of Deputies called upon M. Millerand to xpress the wish that the new ministers should not be selected from among membara having compromised in any way with parties uphold
ng revolution and social disorder,
Upon re-election to the Presidency of the Senate. M. Lean Bourgeois in a speech outlined France's foreign polity, stating it threatens neither legitimate interest nor anybody's good right in the whole world France fought for liberty and right and France in peace is still embodying, for all peoples, liberty and right. When France is insisting upon the necessity of treaties being carried out and the ruins and disorder in her devastated provinces being made good, it is again every nation's right that she is vindicating.
Paris, Jan. 15. 3. Briand has accepted the position of head of the new Ministry.
London, January 15.
The new French Cabinet, though regarded as unequal as regards political quality and personnel, is nevertheless summed up as a work- manlike team and likely to obtain strong support from the Chamber. It is M. Briand's seventh Ministry since 1909. As the first Socialist Premiar he acted drastically when faced with a revolutionary labour eriais. His most vigilant critic will probably be ex-President Poincare, who declined to all any portfolio but that of the Foreign Ministry in the course of M. Peret's abortive efforts to form a Cabinet on the ground of the supreme importance to be attached to the integral | application of the Versailles Treaty.
M. Peret has declared to M. Millerand that he renounced the formation of a Ministry because, wanting to constitute a xres! Ministry, he could not get the participation of personalities be opined were indispensable to national union and the duration of the Cabinet
Peret will, however, continue consultations this afternoon.
Although having ceased endeavouring to form & Cabinet because of inability to secure adhesion of the men whose co-operation was, in his opinion. indispensable to cohesion and the duration of the future Cabinet, M. Peret continued approaching various personalities likely to help. M. Peret then called upon M. Millerand to whole choice be recommended either M. Poincare or M. Briand as head of the future Cabinet Shortly afterwards Briand was asked to call at the Elysee Palace, where be bad an inter- view with M. Millerand.
The new Minister for the Coldales is M. Albert Sarraut

RE-ORGANISATION OF THE COLONIAL OFFICE.
London. Jan. 17.
It is stated that one reason for Sir Auckland Geddes' return'is to i enlist his organising ability in connection with the pending re organization of the Colonial Office which is bezinning to be pro minently commented on in the newspapers. The "Daily Mirror" i which was most strenuous in the "anti-waste campana in connec- tion with the Dover bye-election, denounces the "plans for another huge department to throw away more millions" i connection with the reported incorporation of a Middle East department in the Colonial! Office. The "Westminster Gazette" thinks Mr. Churchill's domination in the tremendous field of expenditure represented in the Middle East is cost disquieting in view of his financial record

There are plentifukaigns of extreme depression in shipping.

From tar hun Bou can again topka, 3} Responsible Dutch snipowners say that the actual cost of transporta tion is six dollars. It is surmised that owners will prefer to keep their ships at sea and incur a loss temporarily in the hope of obtain- ing better freight in the early future instead of swelling the large Dumber of vessels already laid up in por Meantime the Houlder Line has cancelled the construction of two steamers owing to the heaviness of building costs.
