FOREIGN
MINISTER DEAD
VIII Not Result m ANY Alteration
of Italy's Aim to Stay Neu-
s.s!.
tBy Associated Press.l

ROME. Oct. 16The Italian premier,
Signor SalaIdra, will assume tempo
rarily the portfolio of minister of for
eign affairs made vacant by the death
today of Marquis Antonio Di San Gui-
liano. This step was decided upon at
q council of the ministers late today.
Nothing is known as to the inten-
ttons OF the king or the premier re-
garding permanent secretary to the
office.
Marquis Di San Giuliano died today
after suffering for q month with an
affection OF the heart. Almost TO the
end he directed from his sick room
the affairs of his office So far as pos
sible. 1t is reported that the German
ambassador to Italy, when he heard of
the death OF the marqris, said: This
Is perhaps the greatest misfortune for
the central empire since the war be-
gam"
The doctors agree that the war did
not cause the death, OF the foreign
minister, but say the end certainly
was hastened by the arduous work TO
which he submitted his already weak
ened constitution.
