Bs tne Associated Prese PARIS, Novembe 3 the premier-designate, has asked former Iinance Minister Joseph Cail laux to call at the Quai d'Orsay this afternoon. It is regarded as certain shat he will offer him the finance ‘ortfolio in the new cabinet. M. Briand announced early this aft-; erncon that he would call upon Prest dent Doumergue bhetween and 6 o'clock tonight, but added that even then he would probably not be ready to give the President the fuil list of his collaborators. | The afternoon papers publish the names of the ministers he is sald to! have chosen, but this is more or less guesswork. Briund, Painleve to Serve. Premier Painleve today agreed to accept the post of minister of war in 2 cabinet headed by M. Briand. It was sald this morning that M.| Briand has excellent prospects for suc- | cess. The demise of the famous Left car- tel, which appears this time really to he ‘dead, will, it is considered, greatly facilitate M. Briand’s task. This un- -natural coalition of Soclalists and Radicals, formed purely for purposes of the elections last vear, has since! dominated French politics. Tt was Kill- | ed by the Socialists, who over-reach- | ed themselves in the demands made upon M. Herriot, when he v deavoring to form a new ministry, and forced the Radic: who were | most attached to the idea of a cartel, to believe it was no longer possible to work with the Socfalists Scope Is Widened. Tle scope of M. Briand's choice of mien for portfolios thus has been con- | siderably widened, and it is belleved | that he will be able-to pick a team strong, not only in individual talent, but in parliamentary backing. Louis Loucheur is spoken of as minister of Hnance and Paul Doumer, as minis- er of the budget. While the personnel of the proposed cabinet still has to be completed, it is understood M. Briand has assured | himself of the adhesion to his ministry among others of Henry Berenger, Georges Leygues, Rene Renoult, Ana- tole de Monzle, Camille Chautemps, Prof. Nogaro, an authority on political economy and who is a Radical deputy, and Leon Jouhaux, general secretary of the labor federation. M. Briand plans to appear in Par- Tlament within three days and get a vote of confidence, so that he will be able to go to London December 1 and aign the Locarno treaties. M. Briand's heart is set on carrying out the work of pacification commenced at Locarno, and as he has no special competency in dealing with financial subjects, one of his first cares will be to get together a committee of experts, whose duty it will be to Suggest to the minister of finance reforms which will be capable of putting the country on a sound financial basis again. %39 KILLED IN STORMS ON COAST OF BRITAIN | Besorts Hard Hit, Fishing Boats| Sunk, Telephone Lines to Con- tinent Are Broken.

By the Aesociated Press. PEKING, November — Gien Feng Yu-hsiang, the Christian gen- eral, today, in effect, declared war on Marshal Chang Tso-lin. In a telegram to the Manchurian leader Feng urged that he retire from active politics. Otherwise, he said, he would atta him immediately. Feng continued today to tighten his grip on Peking, where an additional division and brigade of his forces were taking their places in the gar- rison. Meanwhile dispatc from Mukden, capital of Manchuria, report- ed Marshal Chang Tso-lin’s determina- tion to fight to a finish against the and other enemies to completely oust him from power. Chang'’s Stand Forlorn. The Manchurian war lord, stand appears to be a forlorn hope. is reported to have announced his in- tention to make a stand first at Shan- haikwan, 150 miles northeast of Tien- and later, if necessary, at the River Liao, near Mukden. Howeve: only 50,000 of his troops are said to re whose main loyal, while 100,000 have followed | the revolting Gen. Kuo Sung-len. Chang’s position, moreover, has been weakened by the apparent defec- tion of Chang Tsung-chang, Governor of Shantung, who has refused a sum mons to join Chang. Meanwhile the Manchurian_chleftain’s foes are pre- paring to divide the spoils of their coup. CHANG'S AIDE Cxfli\'fi. Manchurian Leaders in Dissension at Other Points, Say Reports. Minister MacMurray at Peking transmitted to the State Department today reports current there that Yang Yu-Ting, the chief of staff of Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord, had been placed in con- finement at Mukden by order of Gen. Kuo Sung-Ling of the Manchurian forces. The message added that there was dfssension among the Manchurian ommanders at other points and some ighting within the Manchurian ranks, | but did not serve to give officials here any clear view of the extent of which Chang's hold on the Man- churian situation had been shaken by the revolt among his generals. In some quarters the report from Mukden of the arrest of Chaag's Cchie of staff was taken as an ex planation of the previous unofficial report that Chang himseli had been imprisoned by the revolters. Revolt Not Explained. No word has reached Washington from any official source which would explain the sudden revolt against the Manchurian war lord. It seems clear, however, that the whole political sit- uation in China has been greatly com- licated by the new outbreak. Min- ister MacMurray has been unable to indicate what the probable effect will be on the customs conference in Peking. An actual clash between Manchu- rian factfons occurred in Wang-Tao and Changli, Minister Mac- Murray's dispatch indicated, adding that the Manchurian chieftain at Tientsin, Li Ching-Lin, had declared his independence of Chang. Rallway traffic in the Tlentsin area to the north has been crippled by the revolt. THREE BURN TO DEATH. Mother and Two Children Trapped in Farmhouse.

On policy Mr. Coolidge fol {lows his cabinet so closely that they | make no public announcements of fm- | portance without his knowledge and approval, and he in turn does not de- part from the principles which they 1: down in the management of their denartments. Take each topic prominent in the public mind today and the Coolidge | attitude thereon, as it will be ex- plained formally in his message, has | already been Indicated. On taxation the recommendations of | Secretary of the Treasury Mellon be- | fore the House ways and means com- | mittee have the hearty approval of | the President. | "On the World Court, the President {need simply renew his plea for har- | mony in the Senate and adoption of | the protocol with the Hughes reserva- | tions. s | ‘Wants Control of Ships. i On shipping . the pronouncement of Secretary Hoover may be taken as the | Coolidge recommendation.

On agriculture Secretary Jardine's | proposals for a better use of existing | tacilities of the Department of Agricul- | ture and a regulation of co-operative | | marketing is the Coolidge policy. | On rallroads the President has noth- ing more to present on consolidation { than he did once before. | On national defense cuts in the | Army and Navy because of the peace- | ful condition of the world so far as lit affects the United States will be | definitely recommended. H Thrift Main Issue. | On war debts an appeal will be made to Congress to ratify the agree- ments with Italy, Belglum and some ! of the smaller countries. A review of | the negotiations with France and other nations is in order, too. The big point in the Coolidge mes- | sage will be economy and reduction | of taxes. It's the President’s chief policy, and runs into every govern- mental activity. Mr. Coolidge is not a radical, and no startling recommendations or _sur- prises may be looked for. It will be merely a reiteration of the many things hitherto proposed, coupled with a hope that now that Congress has a long session ahead of it some of the more urgent recommendations may at Jast find their way into law.
