At least one other naval tug was cither within the harbor or attempt- & to stand by the wreck, and sev- cral other craft had been ordered to the scene for wrecking or salvage operations. The tugs are of large sea-going type, and weather which would driva them to_ shelter, in the opinion of naval officers, sealed the fate of the Tacoma, helpiess with he bow driven high_on the reefs.

First judgment is that it is in many resp: strong cabinet: it seems to have been an at- tempt to balunce two elements—t tellectuals and labor ieaders. The; will be eriticisms that it is not u re labor cabinet, but an {mportant plun in the platform of the labor parts sets forth that it is a party of n and brain workers. Dificrent Types Seen. Hardly could any cabinet present more different types than those who will gather arcund the official tabl at No. 10 Downing street. On one side is Viscount Haldane, a philo- sophic scholar, who is said to be of the few men in England who think In the terms of the Einste theory, but is recognized by the Brit- ish army as one of its greatest war ministers, although he found it im- possible during the war to Jive down his utterance, “Germany is my spirit- ual home."

Clynes, “He began work as a half- timer at ten years of age”; of Stephe Walsh, “AtL fourteen he began hi elghteen years of work as a coal miner.” List Equally Divided. The list is nearly equally divid between those who acquired edu tion fn the mines and at Oxford and Cambridge. Viscount Chelmsford, who heads the admiralty, has held the posts of viceroy of India. eovernor of New South Wales and governor of Queens land. Brig. Gen. Sir Christopher Thomson, retired, who served in Pal- estine in the Kuropean war, takes charge of the air ministry, while Stephen Walsh, secretary for war, is the least known of the heads of the most important oflices. The selection of under-secretaries, who play a more important part in the British government than similar officials in the American, remains un- revealed. It is believed, however, that Miss Margaret Bondfield, recent- 1y elected to parliament, will be allot- ted a good post, and She then will be the first woman to hold an im- portant administrative place, for which her experience in labor affairs is declared to fit her.
