In the Cabinet If the Radical wishes were not carried out, and therefore: the above Ministers tendered their resignations.

Later Details

París, Yesterday. The Cabinet resigned on the day of the re-opening of Parliament. Both, houses met and adjourned.

The consensus of opinion is that M. Poincare will head the new

Cabinet.

The Cabinet Crisis was totally unexpected.

The explanation is that when the four Radical Socialist Ministers left Angers, under the impression that counsels of moderation had prevail- ed, adversaries of the Cabinet con- cocted a declaration reintroducing condemnation of M. Poincare and the National Union.

The declaration was voted unani- mously in the absence and ignorance of the four Ministers who, when they heard the news, decided that they must resign.

It, is a triumph for M. Caillaux, the leader of the Anti-Government Radicals.

The Poincare Government has lasted 2 years, 5 months and 14 days.
