Paris, Dec. 11, 5:05 a. m.—Premier Briand was busy all day Sunday sec- ing not only politiclans but prominent business men and manufacturers in view of the new combination to fa- cilitate the plan by which all minis- ters and under secretaries will hand in their resignations. In the mean- time, according to the Matin, the re- organization of the higher com- mand in the army, being an essential- ly administrative question, will not be ettled until after the new government makes its bow in the chamber of dep- uties on Tuesday and is endorsed by a vote of confldence. In addition to forming a war council of flve ministers on the model of that in England”, continues the Matin, “Premier Briand has decided, in the interest of the economic organ- ation of the country, to throw the old administrative machine into the melting pot and oblige all ministerial departments, hitherto congealed in superannuated methods, to get in line with the rest of the - country which is freely spending its blood and gold.” “Im the course of conversations he had with prominent men on Saturday and Sunday Premier Briand an- nounced that he intended to give a free hand to the ministers, under sec. retaries and directors forming half of the new ministry. The most abso- lute powers will be granted to them and, if it is found that the methods meet resistance or that certain habits are persisted in these powers will be still further increased and drastic l measures taken. The composition of the new combination will clearly show the new spirit. It will be the most complete possible reconstruction 1 be seen when their names are | published.” i Austro-German Offensive Stopped.

Camera men from the Mirror Film company’s studios in Long Island, working under Charles Kielty, who is to direct the production of the New Britain made photoplay in which are to appear the young people who took part in the Herald's “movie” contest, this morning began photographing the principals as they enacted their roles in the several locations picked to fit the scenario. The picturizing of the story requires the selection of a nuim- ber of outside locations, which were picked yesterday. Photographer Blaney, who has turned the crank on the camera for many big features in which prominent actors were cast, was in charge of the instrument to- day. | months, The picture has to be taken in sec- tions which will be put together in proper sequence after the film is de- veloped.

Toronto, Dee, the out of within the first of the Ont., shell contracts in virtually all 11, United States anglish run within them six and most three months, after vear, and will not be renewed, it was announced here by J. W. Flavelle, chairman of the Tmperial Munitions Board for Canada. Mr. Flavelle has been abroad nine weeks consulting with the minister of muni- tions and his assistants and this an- nouncement was accepted here as the message of Great Britain to the Dominion. To Buy “Of course, Britain to purchase copper, brass, steel and other raw materials from the States he said, “but she will not purchase any more of the finished shells. The minister considers that two yea probation is sufficient and will e pect Canada to fulfill the promise she made for munitions in 1917. in fact, it would be a grave blunder the contracts were not fulfilled. Can- ada is still behind with her deliver- ies.” Brass Here will .continue Most Locals Unaffected. Those familiar with market condi- tions stated today that this latest de- cision of the Canadian powers would have absolutely no effect of a harmful nature on most of the local stocks. It is pointed out that on the contra Bristol Brass, American Brass and other similar concerns would profit thereby, because it will be to these plants that the Canadian factories will have to look for their brass and cop- per supplies used in such enormous quantities in the munitions work These concerns would not only get the American orders, but also the Domin- ion orders. It is also stated that the decision to withdraw contracts would have no effect on Colt’s, or in fact any of the so-called locals except two or three that deal so extensively in pro- ducing the finished munitions product.

DANCES AND People are becoming more used ‘o the off-hand and unconventional styvle of Evaneelist Greenwood’s preaching at the People’s church, and the i pression is deepening that he is a ver vigorous end convincing preacher, as well as an nnusually effective singer. Hig sermons sesterday were of a high order and produced deep impressio: At the affernoon mestings one man, s stranger, came in inquiring if this was where Evangelist Greenwood was to preach on “The Christian and Pop- ular Amusements”” When he went out he remarked that that preaching was all right, and that he was coming again in the evening and bring his friend with him. It was a searching and convincing sermon, showing the dangers to real piety and usefulness in the church of the triple amuse- ments, the dance, the card table and the theater.
