A Cabinet

Belgium, which has been governed during the past six weeks by the resigned Theunis Cabinet, was apathetic when M. Van de Vyvere accepted the King's mandate to form a Cabinet. Recently, it had become a weekly custom for the King to call this and that leader and request him to form a Government. But when M. Van de Vyvere succeeded in forming a Cabinet, the Belgians were most surprised. The Cabinet:

Premier, Finance. . . .M. Van de Vyvere

Justice M. Leon Theodor

-Foreign Affairs M. Paul Hymans

-Economic Affairs M. Moyersoen

National Defense. ... General Hollebaut

-Science and Art M. Nolf

^Industry and Labor M. Tschoffen

-Agriculture Baron Ruzette

-Colonies M. Carton

-Interior M. Poullet

The new Government, like the old one, is a Catholic Liberal coalition.
