The provisional government at Coblenz has set up a ministry, of which Joseph Matthes is premier, although he prefers to be called “executive com- missioner." The other portfolios have been assigned as follows: Herr Von Metzen, foreign minis ter; Herr, Wolterhotf, minister of finance; Herr Liebing, minister of he Interior; Father Kremers, min- ster of instruction and public wor- ship; Herr Muller, minister of trans- portation; Herr Kleber, minister of Justice and Agriculture. With the exception of Father Kre mers, who is a Roman Catholle, priest, the ministers are lawyers. Herr Wolterhoft has prepared a plan for the issuance of sound money to extend to one billion gold francs and to be secured on a complicated system of mortgages on unhypoth- ecated real estate and raflroads. The republican leaders are hop- ing that the allies will consent to transform the first mortgage on the rai!ways under the Versailles treaty into a second mortgage in consid- eration of the sum of $350,000,000 gold francs, .
