LLOYD GEORGE CONFERS
Ambassadors Hereafter May Take
Charge of International Prob
leuis In Europe. -'
PARIS, Jan. 15. (By the Associated
Press.) After a conference with M.
Barthou and other supporters lasting
until midnight, M. Poincare an
nounced his cabinet had been def
initely. formed a follows:
Premier and minister of foreign affair 1
JI. I'oincare.
Justice and Alsace-Lorraine Lull Bar
thou Interior M. Maunoury.
Fi.mhc( Charles I Lasteyrte.
War and Pensions Andre Maginot.
Slatlne .V. itaibertl.
Aatlcullure Adolph Cheron.
Ia.bor Alexandre Berard.
liiMructlon Uon Berard.
Colonies Albert Sarraut. .
Public works M. LeTrocquer.
Commerce Luclen Dior.
Liberated regions M. Relbel.
The first meeting will be held to
morrow. SI. Barthou Vice-Premier.
M. Barthou has accepted the post
of minister of Justice in the cabinet
and the vice-presidency of the coun
cil. M. Maginot will be minister of war
end director of pensions, the pensions
ministry being eliminated from the
cabinet. . , ...
M. Ma-unoury has been appointed
minister of the interior, M. L Troc
quer public works and M. De Laste
ynie finances. A message has been
tent to M. Sarraut at Washington
asking him officially if he desires
to remain at the head of the ministry
of the colonies.
Andre Tardieu declined to accept
the ministry of liberated regions after
having consulted with M. Clemenceau.
The fact 'that M. Poincare offered
three of the most important portfolios
after foreign affairs, which he takes
tor himself, to men of little experi
ence in political affairs is regarded
as significant that he intends to have
his own way so far as French policy
Is concerned.
Genoa Conference Stnnda.
As, in accordance with established
principles, cabinets are bound by the
decisions of their predecessors, the
Genoa economic conference will be
held. It is probable, however, that
France will seek to limit the dis
cussion to purely economic and finan
cial matters, to the exclusion of po
. JlMcal problems.
M. Poincalre engaged in a lengthy
conversation today with the British
premier What conclusion was reached
is not known, but M. Poincare, ie a
statement, declared that "interna
tional questions henceforth will be
settled as heretofore, through am
bassadors." This, in the opinion of the premier
designate, would mean "there must
be one final meeting should the
French viewpoint prevail, and I have
good reasons to believe it will so far
as Great Britain is concerned."
He thought there had been too
many meetings of the supreme coun
cil and he desired a return to the old
fashioned way of dealings.
Conference Declared Success.
The conference turned out to be
quite a success for the new premier,
according to the French view, as he
apparently convinced Mr. Lloyd
Ueorge that it would be construed by
the French, nation as unfortunate and
by himself as inimical to him per
sonally should Mr. Lloyd George meet
ex-Premier Briand and Dr. Ralhenau,
German representative.
In consequence, M. Briand's visit to
the British embassy was merely a
social function during which he had
a brief informal talk with the British
premier. ' Mr. Lloyd George did not
meet the Germans.
The British premier came here with
ratification of the policy of the mora
torium for Germany tentatively
granted by the, reparations commis
sion, but met with strong opposition
from M. Poincare, who argued that
Germany had not paid to the limit of
her capacity and that some means
must be found for lightening France'
burden.
France Held to Stand Alone.
The conclusion in Belgian circles,
which have rallied to the British and
Italian views, is that France stands
alone on the reparation problems
Mr. Lloyd George had notified
Elysee palace that he would like to
call on President Millerand, but the
latter had an engagement and sug
gested an hour which was the time
when the premier was conferring
with M. Poincare.
It was said by the British delega
tlon that Mr. Lloyd George did not
call at Elysee palace, as custom re
quires an invitation. The official ex
planation ' was that the protocol pro
vides for visits from the heads of
foreign states only on invitation.
British circles do not conceal their
disappointment over the failure of
Mr. Lloyd George to meet President
Millerand.
Other Delegates Received.
However. he received Premier
Theunys and Foreign Minister JaS'
par of Belgium and also saw M. de
Lasteyrie. who is slated for the min
istry of finance In the Poincare cab
inet, concerning the central interna
tional corporation, officially adopted
by the Cannes conference, to which
M. Poincare Is said to agree.
The Belgian and German delega
tions were anxious to hear the reBult
of the Lloyd George-Polncare discus
sions and received confidential In
formation, which was greeted by the
Germans apparently with satisfaction,
while the Belgians appeared to be
somewhat concerned.
Foreign Minister Jaspar of Belgium
announced this evening a tentative
agreement for a British-Belgian pact
in which Great Britain promises her
aid' to the full against an attack on
Belgium or the violation of her terri
tory. The announcement came from M.
Jaspar in an invitation he and M.
Theuney gave to the correspondents
when en route from Cannes to Paris.
Draft of Pact Complete.
M. Jaspar said the draft of the pact
had been completed and that the
terms agreed upon required the ap
proval of the British and Belgian
cabinets. M. Jaspar said the pact also
was dependent upon the consumma
tion of the Franco-British agreement.
"Geographically we are so close to
France that her interests are ours,"
he said.
"Under this treaty," said he Belgian
foreign minister, "this will bring us
the aid of Great Britain in all her
power in case of aggression against
Belgium or if our territory is Invaded
by a foreign power."
Questioned as to what he meant by
a "foreign power," M. Jaspar replied
that term was to be taken "In the
broadest sense."
Premier Theuney, who also Is Bel
gian minister of finance, sa.d that the
finances of Belgium had been eased
by an agreement reacnea wun
ltcoert Home, British chancellor of
the exchequer, by which Great Britain
would not exercise her rights over
reparations funds paid to Belgium,
pledged by Belgium as a guarantee
for loans after the armistice M.
Theuney said other reparation funds
had been pledged also for certain
American loans and hoped Great
Britain's action rellnqu.i-hing her
rights would come to tho attention
of the Americans.
' Although no official announcement
was made it was learned from a mem
ber of the Belgian delegation return
ing from the Cannes conference that
M. Poincare opposed granting a mora
torium to Germany in favor of which.
Belgium, Great Britain and Italy are
solidly united.
War Criminals to Fore.
Surrender of the Germans charged
with offenses in connection with the
war to the allies for trial Is recom
mended In two resolutions adopted by
the interallied commission on war
crimes made public today. The reso
lutions were adopted by the commis
sion at its sessions January 6 and 7,
it was announced. The commission's
first resolutions find the conduct of
recent trials at Lelpslc unsatisfac
tory, except ror a lew cases, anu
the procedure of the trials was not I

FATTY'S TRIAL DELAYED
OPPOSING COUNSEL FAILS TO
COMPLETE JURY.
$25,340,000 LOAN SOUGHT
St. Taul Railroad Company Asks
Uncle Sam for Lift.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 14. An
application for a government loan of
$25,340,000 was made to the inter
state commerce commission today by
the Chicago, Mffwaukee & St Paul
railroad.
The money, the application said,
will be used, if granted, to pay off
a note of the same amount which is
held by the government against the
railroad and which falls due March
1. The road asked 10 years' time on
the new loan.
NEW GOVERNMENT IS IN
(Continued From First Page.)
highly optimistic and cheerful. This
was evidenced today in the attitude
of the auxiliaries who drove through
the streets, singing and waving their
hats. Pedestrians generally greeted
them with amusement.
After the Anglo-Irish treaty had
been ratified, a provisional govern
ment was constituted, comprising
Michael Collins, William Cosgrave,
Eamonn J. Iuggan, P. J. Hogan,
Finlan Lynch, Joseph McGrath, Pro
fessor John MacN'eill and Kevin
OHIggine.
Meeting la. Mansion House.
The parliament met under clauses 17
and 18 of the Anglo-Irish treaty,
which made the members of the
southern Irish parliament elected un
der the government of Ireland act of
1920, the body which should ratify
the treaty and take measures for con
stituting a provisional government.
The meeting was held in tne oaa
room of the Mansion House. tne
entire list of 128 members, including
the four unionists elected for Trinity
college, had been summoned, but only
those who favored the treaty at
tended.
Arthur Griffith, president of the
Daii, addressing the meeting, said be
thought it desirable to make detinue
what the position was of the provi
sional government that had been
called into being to carry out the
treaty. The Dail, he explained, would
remain in session until the treaty's
terms were carried out, when general
elections would be called.
William Deroiste of Cork City, who
was chosen chairman, also announced
that when the transition was com
pleted the Dail Elreann would decree
a general election, enabling the peo
ple to pronounce on a form of con
stitution and elect representatives to
the parliament of the nation.
MR. HAYS WILL RESIGN
(Continued From First Page.)
nothing would be done toward select
ing a new postmaster-general until
Mr. Hays formally tenders his resig
nation. Mr. Hays refused to discuss the
salary which he would receive in his
new position but it has been reported
as upwards of $1,50,000 a year.
Postmaster-General Hays was said
by his friends, however, not to regard
the salary as the controlling factor
in his decision.
G0ETHALS TO DO SURVEY
(Continued From First Page.)
respondence with' General Goethals
indicated that he would be available
about February 1. The present of
ficers of the Columbia basin survey
at Spokane will be placed at his dis
posal, if General Goethals desires
them, the director said.
Belief Is Expressed That Testimony
Will Not Begin Until Tuesday.
Little Interest Shown.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 14. Inabil
ity of opposing counsel to complete
the Jury today in the second man
slaughter trial of Koscoe C. (Fatty)
Arbuckle led to the belief that testi
mony would not be begun until
Tuesday. , Defense attorneys ex
pressed the opinion that this trial
would take at least as long as the
first one, which consumed three
weeks.
The jury box has been filled six
times since the case was called last
Wednesday, but the use of six per
emptory challenges has lengthened
the process of selection. Eleven tem
porary jurors were in the box at
ajournment today, and examination
of a 12th was virtually completed.
According to court attaches, the
case is attracting less public interest
than the ordinary criminal trial.
The only outstanding incTdent to
day was a request by the court to
the Jurors temporarily In the box
and to the talesmen awaiting exam
ination that if anyone approached
them from either side he should be
notified at bnce. Judge Louderback
also said he could "take the Jurors
into custody at any time" to save
them from being approached. He did
not explain his remarks further.
Howard Spreckels, son of Rudolph
Spreckels, San Francisco banker, and
nephew of John' D. Spreckels, San
Diego capitalist, who was temporarily
selected yesterday, was excused today.
