ITALIAN CABINET DISRUPTED
Divided Over Question Of Country
Preserving Neutrality-king Mott
fled of Cabinet Resignation.

-
Rome.-The members Of the cabinet
presented their designations to the
king.
The king reserved decision and in.
vited the presidents of the senate and
chamber of deputies and leading
statesmen to confer with him on the
situation.
1t is generally believed that Premier
Salandra will be entrusted with the
task of forming a new cabinet within
a few days.
The Italian cabinet has suffered
from the same division Of opinion as
exists in the country at large. ltaly's
neutrality has been approved by the
whole cabinet, but some Of the minis
tiers favored military preparations at
any cost, while others supported the
idea that the risk of Italy becoming
involved through these measures was
disproportionate to any advantage she
might gain.
1t is asserted hat Gen. Zupelli and
Vice-Admiral Viale will retain respect
lively the portfolios Of wal and marine.
Baron Sidney Sonnino, former pre-
mier. is spoken Of as minister of the
treasury, and Tomasso Tittoni, ambas.
sador to France, as minister of for
eign affairs.
