ENCEAU WILL M NEW CABINET I WAR BOARD URGES CUT IN FREIGHTING Daily to Announce Of Penn Game ituted Campaign dn Propa- 11 Paris, Nov. 15.-Former Premier Clemenceau has agreed to form a new cabinet. It was Clemenceau, for many years one of the most forceful figures in French public life, who instituted the campaign against German propaganda in France and it was largely on that issue, that the Painleve cabinet failed. Clemenceau is 76 years old. He sometimes is referred to as more of a destructive than . a constructive statesman and is reputed to have up- set nearly a score of cabinets.

RAILROADS WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET WINTER'S DEMANDS Public Can Dispense with Many -of Listed Goods and Feel no Inconvenience Washington, Nov. 15. - Denial of railroad transportation to more than 500 commodities classed as non-es- sential was recommended to the gov- ernment today by the railroad war board. The commodities included in the recommendations were not made public. At the same time the board gave out a statement declaring the country's railroads at the present rate of in- crease in traffic will be unable to meet demands that will be made on Ihem this winter. Railroad Traffic Officers Make List The list of commodities classed as non-essential was made up by a com- mittee of railroad traffic officers at the request of Robert S. Lovett, the gov- ernment director of priority of trans- portation. A copy was turned over to Fuel Administrator Garfield who is contemplating the curtailment of coal supplies to industries not necessary to the public welfare. Little Inconvenience Involved The list contains 450 commodities whose transportation it is declared can be dispensed with without any great inconvenience to the public, and 75 which it is held the public could dispense with, but not without in- convenience. Inability of the railroads to move what will be offered them is due, the statement points out, entirely to a tremendous increase in the volume of freight and passenger traffic.
