POLISH CRISIS.
NEW CABINET FORMING. (Received 9 a.m.) WARSAW, December 22. The fifteen days of political crisis in Poland has ended in the defeat of the Militarists and in victory for the Democratic parties. Professor Bartel has undertaken to form a Cabinet. A cable from Warsaw on December 9 stated that amid wild scenes in the Polish Diet, the Government was defeated by 246 votes to 120, in a no-confidence motion. It was surmised that Marshal Pilsudski had no recourse but to form a new Ministry. Casimir Bartel, who has undertaken the task of forming a new Cabinet, was not known abroad until his participation in Pilsuds-ki's coup in 1926. During the war his engineering knowledge gained for him a place in the War Office, and at the end of 1919 he was made Minister of Railways in the Skulski Cabinet. When in 1926 Pilsudski, faced with a Ministry hostile to him, resolved to overthrow the Government, Bartel was one of the first to rally to his side, and was entrusted with the formation of a Cabinet.
