to suppress the riotous scenes.
King Victor Emmanuel today held a
conference lasting for two hours with the
resigned ministers, during which SIgnor
Rubini, the leader of the peace element
in the disrupted cabinet and the late min
lister Of the treasury, explained that be-
fore the war the budget showed q deficit of
S4, 0oo. 900 and that since the war revenues
have fallen on S21O00,0o0. the new tax
atoms. which had been looked to to bring
In $50 1000. availlng only s6o0o,000.
During the conference Signor Rubini
temporized to the extent of admitting
that he recognized the necessity for
urgent military appropriation, but de-
clared there must be new taxations to
Onset the added expenditures. The POSI-
ton OF the other ministers was that the
added taxation to meet this appropria-
ton should be postponed until after the
war.
No decision by the King on the resig-
nation Of the cabinet was announced up
to q late hour.
These are the most startling develop

Mr.. johnson said that he had advocated

Mr.. Johnson also warned Mr.. Develin
to avoid following the path marked with

Further gains were made by the allies
in the fighting north Of Suain, where the

today recaptured the towns of HolIbecke

Wherever you may buy a car

This is probably the only store in,
Washington where you may know
exactly what this entire cost will be
at the time you buy.
Here you will find the price per

that price covers every penny Of

Our service covers the making,
the furnishing of Innings, and the
laying absolutely free. Your floors
are measured and you are charged
for only what is actually necessary
to cover them. Whatever may be
wasted in cutting to match figures
is not charged to you.
All Mattings, LinoleunS, and
Oilcloths are also laid without ex-
ira cost, and being laid properly

swimming swiftly UP the streams. leaping
out OF the water as they sometimes do

It is thought that the vibration of the

However. the experts say that In case
OF war with q great power there would
be less difnculty about defending the
seacoast fortincafions against direct at
tacks from sea than against attacks BY
land. The seacoast fortihcations cannot
be held against land forces unless they
are protected By strong bodies of mobile
troops, infantry, and cavalry and field
artillery from the land side.
