Cable Association. PARIS, October 18There is a fresh Cabinet crisis over the Malvy affair. The Government succeeded by a majority of 57, after an excited discussion, in securing postponement of the debate. It is considered certain that M. Painleve must reconstruct his Ministry, probably including Socialists m the Cabinet. M. Malvy, recently Minister for Interior, resigned on _ the alleged ground that ho was being made the subject of a campaign of calumny. In connection with the notorious “Bonnet Rouge” affair, M. Clemenceau accused M. Malvy of having been associated ■with Almeryeda (editor of the “Bonnet Rouge”), who, he. alleged, was only the minor agent in a huge conspiracy. Subsequent to his resignation, M. MalVT, in the Chamber of Deputies, refuted an accusation by M. Leon Daudet, contained in a letter to President Poincare, alleging that M. Malvy sola the plans of the Chemin de s Dames offensive to a German living in Spain. M. Painleve (Premier), who defended his former colleague, stated that unless M. Daudet produced his proofs severe steps would bo taken against him.
