The average citizen hasa. notoriously short mem- ory. but now is the time to impress upon him that. in mzmy cases. the suffering was due to lack of foresight. In Canada many people buy in small quzmtitiesuoften only one ton. If, for any mulsu, there is :t shortage of coal. improvident house-holders demand that the coal dealers do the impossible, nzumjly. that they supply fuel that. is unnhr‘ninahle.

The French Cabinet, headed by Pro. mier Briand, has resigned. An official note given out after the Cabinet meet- ing says: “The Council of Ministers met to-night (Saturday) at the Elysee Palace. The Premier reported on various consultations he had had with a view to completing the Cabinet so it could present itself to the Chamber. After hearing him the Cabinet decided that circumstances compelled it to leave to the President of the Republic complete liberty to interpret the situ- ation in the best interests of national defence. Consequently the l’residfint of the Council put into the heads of the President of the Republic the resignation of the Cabinet." ‘ Rllbot Asked by Poincare to Form a New One When M. Briand had left President Poincare asked M. Duchanel to con- sider whether he could not undertake the responsibility of forming a Cubinot on the principle of a national union. M. Descunel, however, replied thst he oonsidered it his duty to remain at his post as President of the Chamber at Deputies, to which he had been call- ed by the representatives of the na- gzn. M. Poincare then requested M. bot, Minister of Finance. member of the War Council in the Briand. Cabinet, to form a Ministry. M. Ribot reserved his decision until he could consult the various members of Pan- hen t.
