dent Albert Lebrun sought an all-
star cabinet today to restore con-
fidence In the nation's finance and

had ruled for a troublous 19

pair. Lebrun had been called from
his bed at 4:30 AM. to receive
the resignation of the cabinet of
Camille Chautemps. It was re-
garded as a national crisis.
The government, through the
Bank of France, asked banks not
to deal in foreign exchange pend-
ing formation of a new ministry.
The Stock exchange opened nor-
mally but the money market was
closed .
Lebrun consulted first with
treasury experts, then with Jules
Jeanneney, president of the Sen-
ate, then with Edwuard Herrlot,
president of the chamber of dep-
uties.
Lebrun invited Chautemps to
form a new, reorganized ministry.
Chautemps refused ,and the presi-
dent prepared to pick another
candidate.

(Jenerallsslmo Chiang Kai-Shek,
staking everything on a defense of
rich Shantung Prlvlnce, has or-
dered a drastic shakeup in the
military command of his north
China armies, reliable reports said
today.

men whom Chiang believed would
fight to the last ditch against
Japanese armies slowly squeezing
the prlvlnce from two directions.
Chinese reports said that the
Generalissimo had ordered the re-
moval of Gen. Feng Yu-Hslang,
the former "Christian General”
and a member of the central gov-
ernment’s war council, charging
that he was Incompetent.
Recalled with him was Gen.
Yen Hsl-Shan, Pacification com-
