APRIL 17. 1925. * TWO~EeNTS“ -' Cabinet of France Now Completed Painleve. as Premier. Vi ill Take ^ ar Portfolio and Briand Is Minister of Foreign Affairs. Caillaux, Finance Head By The Associated rrwi. Paris. April 16.—After arduous negotiations Paul Painleve completed ills cabinet about midnight and sent notification to President Douinergue that he had succeeded In constituting a ministry, W'hete Poland had failed. So difficult, were the last hours of the task that hope had almost been abandoned of reaching an agreement. But. In addition to forming the minis try, an accord also was found on the ministerial program. M. Palnleve himself takes the post of minister of war, as well as presi if' dent of the council, while M. Briand assumed the portfolio of foreign af fairs and Joseph Caillaux, whose political career was thought to have ended when in 1920 he was sentenced to Imprisonment and ordered ex patriated, will have the guiding hand over France's finances. Only One Holdover. The only member of M. Herrlot's cabinet who remains, is the former finance minister, Anatale de Monzle. to whom is attributed in a measure the downfall of the Herrlot administra tion. He becomes minister of public instruction. The new cabinet as officially an nounced is as follows: Premier and minister of war, Paul Painleve Foreign affairs. Aristide Briand. Finance, Joseph Caillaux. Justice and vice president of the cabinet. Jules Steeg. Public instruction. Anatole de Monzie. Interior. Senator A. Schrameck Commerce. M. f'haumet Marine. Emile Bore!. Colonies, Andre Hesse Agriculture. Jean Durand Public works, Pierre Laval Labor. Antoine Durafour. Devastated regions. Pierre Deyri*. Pensions. Louis Anteriou. The ministerial crisis occupied the leading statesmen and hankers throughout the day and night, and slates of all descriptions were sug seated and put aside until the final combination was decided upon. It is reported that M. Briand hesitated to accept i he portfolio for foreign affairs. ** held up ihe final decision as his pro gram was said to he greatly at vari ance with that of Caillaux. Herrlot Eclipsed. Briand'a role, although less spec tacular than during the .first four Lays of the crisis, was the point around which the entire situation re volved. Cpon his acceptance or re fusal to enter the cabinet hinged M. Painleve’* chances of success or fail ure. One parliamentarian expressed It thus: “Briand can torpedo PaJnleve's cabinet before It is actually nffoat. The complete eclipse of Edouard Herrlot. the retiring premier, from live councils of the leading statesmen conferring with M. Painleve marked the proceedings of the day. 51. Her I Lot paid a snort visit to the prospec tive premier, but somewhat naively volunteered the information that he had "come without being sent for. This heightened the impression in parliamentary circles that the late premier had been systematically • unltted from the negotiation* of th* parties from which th* cabinet was eventually chosen. Herrlot an nounced that he was leaving for Ly ons Friday. HOSPITAL AN IN la WILL BE BUILT The board of trustees of Swedish Mission hospital voted Wednesday night to build s hospital annex cost ing $125,000 and a nurses' home . coating $75,000.

Marx and Tliael niann. Communist Nomi nee. ^ ill Content at Polls Next Klection. R.t '[ li** A*norlftt,tl J*re»s. Her till. April 18.—Only three rand! dates will appear on the ballot for the presidential election which Is to be held a week from next Sunday. They will be Field Marshal Von Hinden burg. candidate of the united right; I)r. William Marx, representative of peoples bloc, and Ernst Thaelmann. nominee of the communist party.

Marx Sounds Warning. Dr. Marx today delivered a speech at a banquet here in which he said: "The Internal economic development of our country Is dependent upon the out come of the election. Powerful circles abroad would welcome the possibility of a change In Germany's policy as an effective means for agi tation. Also there are mighty foreign business groups which are anxious to reawaken the barely quelled suspicion of a feared competitor." He warped that Germany's domestic economy still requires foreign help on a large scale and that foreign co operation cannot be avoided on the road to freedom. Plea for Funds. The united right bloc in a pro. lamation Issued today denies an nl legation that it Is an organization of Industrialists and capital* s. "The candidacy of Field Marshal von Htndenburg.” says the proc lamation, "Is supported by nonparty electors and a majrlty of the German people. We expect everyone to lend the utmost financial aid toward Field Marshal von Hindenburg's election. We expect all who have means to forward appropriate contributions. Every pfennig given toward the elec tion of our Hindenburg will l*e a further step toward the peaceful re surrectlop of our fatherland." WOMAN WINS SUIT OVER RACE LOSSES New York.

Forres Defending Hawaiian Islands and Ihose Who Hope lo \ttaek and Capture Them Both \re Determined to Be \ irtors in Manenx its on W hnle>ale Seale. I»v The Aondllfd Press. Sail Francisco, April Iti.—The method of attack to be used by Ad nilral S. S. Robison, eonimander-In cliief df the battle fleet, in the at tempt to recapture the Hawaiian Islands from the ‘•enemy” who, theoretically holds them, was the foremost tlplc of speculation among the personnel of the United States grand fleet as it entered its second night of steaming toward the west ern outpost of the nation's defense. Although It has been made known that the Navy and War depart ments and the senior officers of both services consider the matter of "who wins the war?” as minor in comparison with the greater pur pose of disclosing defects in the country’s defense, both the “Black” force, which holds the islands, and the "Blue” force, which 1« the fleet, are anxious td he returned victor because of the natural deslr not to be beaten in anything. Both Sides Determined. The "black" force, consisting of the Hawaiian department of the army, the largest single portion of the military establishment stationed at any one place in the United States, tlie Hawaiian national guards, the vessels and establish ment of the 14th naval district, re inforced by several units which ordinarily would operate with the fl»et, has been performing exten sive practice maneuvers for months in preparation for the war game, it has horn learned by the intelli gence department cf the "blue" j fleet. Ii is known iliat the high com mand of tlie "black” force is de termined to repulse the "blue'’ fleet if possible or to bold out against the attack as long as possible before capitulation. Several avenues of action are open to Admiral Robison, any one or nil of them might be utilized In the attack which will be as much like actual warfare as it is possible to make, tbe game. Marines May Rand. It may be decided to attempt to land a party oR the marines who are traveling aboard the United States transport Henderson with fleet, reinforced by tbe regular marine detachments of the various vessels, 3ml a landing party of sailors. Another possible angle »>f attack is by the use of the airplays on the U. S. S. Langley and the scout planes carried aboard tbe battleships and launched from Cata pults. A better plan, in the opinion of military and naval strategists, would contemplate the seizure by tbe "blue" force of one of the other islands of the group, which are not fortified and would fall easily, it is believed, before the attack of the fleet. Prom this Island an air at tack would be launched against Oahu. State Grants Take Bis Jump Fa* Tax, \uto Fees. Federall Aid to Care for §8.872. 000 fnrrease. Sprrlal OUpittrh to The Omaha Bee.
