Lord Reading Comes to Talk Over Finances of Allies and Is Confident of Victory. XSS v hi . II PREMIER WILL TRY AGAIN President Poincare Declines to Ac cept Resignation of Xew Man. . . Presence of Itibot in Foreign Office Is Believed Cause.- . ' PARIS, Sept. 12r Paul Palnleve, Min ister of'War, has announced that he has been unable to form a new ministry to succeed that of M. Ribot, owing to the eleventh-hour withdrawal of the So cialists, Albert Thomas and M. Varenne. M. Painleve went to the Elysee Pal ace at 1 o'clock this morning, where he was joined by M. Bourgeois and other statesmen with whom he had conferred awaiting him at the Ministry of War. He returned within an hour and an nounced to newspaper men that Presi dent Poincare had insisted that he con tinue his efforts to form a Cabinet, and that he had asked for time to think over the situation. It is understood Professor Painleve will again try to construct a ministry. First Combination Abortive. Professor Painleve's first combina tion proved even more abortive than did that of M. Ribot, the retiring Premier, and collapsed from the same cause, namely, the exigencies of the Socialists. What these exigencies are is not exactly known, but the Matin suggests it was the presence of ex Premier Ribot in the Foreign Office. Professor Painleve had completed his list yesterday, and his success in form ing a. ministry was regarded as a fore gone conclusion. At 10 o'clock last night the new Ministers assembled at the Ministry of War. At 11 P. M. Albert Thomas, Socialist member of the War Council and Minister of Muni tions, and Ieputy Alexandra Varenne, who had been named Minister of Pub lic Instruction, left the War Ministry. In reply to inquiries they said: "It is nothing but a little difference which certainly "will be settled in half an hour." The Ministers did not return, how ever, until an hour and a half after midnight. Their absence was due, ac cording to. reliable information, to the necessity to consult M. lienaudel. Hubertrouger, Weber and Moutet, the permanent delegates charged with the Socialist party to watch the Cabinet crisis. Two Socialists Withdraw. A quarter of an hour later the two Socialists again left the Ministry, say ing to reporters: - "We withdraw indefinitely on ac count of the general composition of the Ministry." The other Ministers-elect continued their deliberations. Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning Professor Painleve received the newspaper men and said: "I was charged by the President with the task of forming a Cabinet of na tional union which should comprise the elements belonging to all parties. As the results of incidents arising at the last moment the union, which I had ex pected, failed. Under the circum stances I um going to the President to relinquish the mandate which he con fided to me." CAPT, HITTINGER GOES EAST Portlander Named as Assistant to Washington Quartermaster.

X- S 9r- AMERICA SPURS SPIRITS 9 m CHARLOTTE GREESWOODt v To make tb,e hard-working- public laugh Is quite as laudable a mission as to Instruct those who really prefer relaxation, so that a musical comedy constructed solely for laughing purposes and per fected by the inimitable Charlotte Greenwood and a strong- cast should be a welcome visitor In these strenuous days. Such is "So Long Letty," the successful musical farce, which Oliver Morosco will present at the Heilig Theater tonight, following- a record never equalled by a musical comedy. "So Long Letty" has a series of triumphant records extending from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coasts. Originally produced In Los Angeles, it began by establishing a record of capacity business for 16 weeks. Moving north, to an Francisco, it surpassed Its Los Angeles achievement by eight weeks. From there Mr. Morosco sent it to Chicago, where It remained for 26 weeks, during which time it had for opposition Montgomery a.nd Stone in "Chin Chin,'r Zieg feld's "Follies," "The Girl From Utah," Mitzie Jlajos In "Sari,"- and many others of the season's dramatic and musical successes. This run was only interrupted by the hot. weather. The book of "So Long Letty" is taken from Mr. Harris "Your Neighbor's Wife," which has been rewritten by the original author and Mr. Morosco, who have constructed a number of excellent roles and comedy situations.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Sept. 12. Right Hon. Viscount Reading, lord chief justice of England, arrived today on an American steamship from Great Britain. He was accompanied by Lady Reading.

Swinton, an assistant secretary to the BrirTsh War Cabinet, and J. M. Kaynes, of the British treas ury. Lord Reading said he would go to Washington Immediately. "I come on a mission from the Brit ish War Cabinet," said Lord Reading. "America, a Nation built up on the basis of liberty and distinguished by its great love of peace, has been forced by Germany to fight for freedom and humanity and for the peace of the world. Allies Much Encouraged. "Tour President has left no doubt that you are not waging this war for military conquest or territory or to Im pose your will on weaker nations, but, in his own words, 'to make the world safe for democracy. "I need not enlarge to you upon the encouragement we and our allies de rive from the entry of America . into the war. Great as is the material aid you have brought to the cause, it was not of greater value than the moral stimulus to those who for more than three long years have been engaged in continuous conflict and have made daily and hourly sacrifices of blood and treasure surpassing the wildest rations of pre-war prophets. Prosecution to Be Vigorous. "Whatever, these sacrifices, we have never faltered in our determination to achieve our object; and, -depend upon it. we shall not falter. Assisted and encouraged by your genius and resources and by your unconquerable spirit, the allies must win. "The struggle Is stern and costly. but the cause is great and worthy. It Is the vindication of right and the pro tection of the weak. Victory, delayed perhaps, but ultimately certain, will bring the triumph of the people's will over autocratic will and will dig the graves of unscrupulous schemes of world aggression and of military tyranny. Then and. then only will there be lasting peace. Lord Reading was last In this coun try two years ago, wnen he came as head of the British financial commis sion, which, with a French commission arranged for the $500,000,006 Anglo- French loan from American bankers in 1315.
