REGULATIONS MODIFIED > Administration Will Have Free H**k1 it* Exercising Judgment It in Naming Postmasters Washington, May 10.?Civil servic restrictions governing the choice o * postmasters were modified by Presi den Harding today to give the ad ministration a treer nami in exercis ing its own judgment in regard to th qualifications of applicants. In an executive order affecting ap ^ proximately 13,000 postoffices of th f* first, second and third classes th president authorized the selection o any one of the first three on the eli gible list as determined by open com petitive examinations. TTn-der an or der of President Wiison the executiv could exercise no such choice but wa I * required to appoint* the applican ( j standing at the head of the fist. I In making the order public Mi Harding issued a statement saying the oew arrangement had been decid ed on because it would .permit sue! .elements as business training and ex perience to figure in the selection o postmasters and would not stake t'n< choice merely on "a cloistered, sfcho } lastic examination whicli might re salt in. a high irrade in theory bift no i a guaranty of efficiency jn 'fact." | ( - j- - . * The president also pointed out tha a .ehoiee amon^ the first three al ready is permitted for clas: po?f masterships under ijpejseianeri civil service regulations as fixed bj law. He expressed the'hope that con gress would extend these permanen regulations to all postmasterships bi biinging them under the ^Igssifiec civil service.

Wirth, the Cen terist leader, finally succeeded ir forming a coalition cabinet compose( of Centerists, Majority Socialist; * anil Democrats, which, confronted bj grave necessity, speedily decided tha acceptance of the ultimatum was th< only course. In making tffris announcement t< the reichstag tfite new chancellor ask ed for an immediate decision by tha body and in voting which followe( the government was sustained. 1 Th^ allied ultimatum required i definite reply r based on "yes" o "no." No conditional reply woul< be entertained, and the ultimatun was formulated to expire on the nigh of May 12. The total sum which Germany i called upon to pay is 6,75u,wu,uuu disarmament must be carried out b; Germany in accordance with the pro vision of the treaty and the trial o war criminals must be put into ef feet. Numerous other importan terms, in which Germany has been ii default, will be accepted. Non compliance with the ultima i turn would have subjected German; T to occupation by the allies of th Ruhr valley and whatever other milli tary and naval measures were deem ed advisable. The new cabinet is generally re ' ^ ' t garded as a makeshift largely un / representative but good enough t accept the entente ultimatum, am thus avoid an advance in the Ruhr. While the cabinet obtained a com fortable majority in the reichstag i has the undivided support of onl; the Majority Socialists and Clericals The members of the other parties, i r* is declared have given it support a a makeshift and are not pledged t give it parliamentary support.
