SIX CONTROL SITUATION.
1taly's Present Position Is Governed
by Actions Of Small Number Of Men
Excitement Grows Intense.
RIVALRY AMONG DIPLOMATS
BY ALICE RoHE.

Rome, May 3.-(By mail to New
York. Six men hold the key to the
Italian situation in their keeping.
They are King Victor Emmanuel,
Premier Salandra, Minister Of For
eign Affairs Sonnino, Prince a., Won
Buelow, the German ambassador to
Rome; Ex-Premier Giolitti and Gen.
Cadorna, chief Of the general staff.
With every hour increasing the
excitement Eof the people over the
Austro- Italian situation, the import
ance of Gen. Cadorna has gradually
taken the ascendancy. Today he is
the only man in Italy who holds the
situation in hand and in that hand
is the sword. He is demanding that
there be no compromise on the ques-
ton of Austrian concessions.
To the satisfaction of Premier Sal
andra and to the King himself, it is
said that Cadorna has shown that the
cession of Trentinot in part and not
up to the Brenmer border would be
constant menace to Italy. Looking
at Italy's position 81 the European
upheaval with the keen, far-reaching
eyes of the military defense expert,
he practically says. that only with
Trentino, Trieste, Fiume, Gorozia-
in fact all provinces occupied by
Italians once more in Italy's control
will be content toSkeep back his dogs
of war. Es:
With Cadorna'ss rising star, Giol-
it'll, the astute, has not sunk entirely
into the shadow. Just why Giolitti,
a former prime minister, was admit
ted to the sacred conference that con-
Germs all the world when Salandra
was the real mansin power, might
have puzzled some minds. The rea-
son was that Salandra, the man with
the people behind him, the man who
is trusted and beloved throughout
Italy, is not strong with parliament.
Prinve Won Buelow, the German
ambassador, the man with the fnesse
of a diplomat doubtless had need OF
an Italian in power, who had parlia-
ment in his wake if he was to sue
coed in his negotiations and keep
Italy out of the war In consequence
his overtures concerning Austrian
concessions, it is said, Sweres forced
broachedHto Giolitti. who holds sway
over parliament Besides Giolitti
and Won Buelow are both cousins
of the king" so why should they not
interchange visits without arousing
storm of conjecture. Only men
who have distinguished themselves

KITCHENER BLAMED
FOR CABINET CRISIS
Failure Of His Dictatorship Entirely
Responsible for Present Ministerial
Troubles, Says Mason.
BRITISH AWAKE TO CONDITIONS
Disappointed With Progress of War
Expected Spring to Bring Quick
Turn of Events in France.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

Failure of Lord Kitchener's nine
months dictatorship is the basic
cause of the ministerial crisis in
England. The immediate reason for
the formation of a coalition cabinet
is a dispute at the admiralty be-
tween the chief head and the first
sea lord. but the clash between Win
ston Churchill and Lord Fisher
would not have involved the gov
eminent as whole if the expert
ment Of assigning the government
of England to military organizer
had not proved disastrous.
Great Britain has been gradually
awakening to the fact during the
last two months that the war is not
progressing satisfactorily for the AL
lies. With the arrival of spring,
Englishmen expected a quick turn
of events in France and Flanders
which would establish in fact an in
disputable ascendancy over the Ger
mans. For half year, Lord Kitch-
ener has been given free hand. He
was to be the savior of the empire
All the other members of the govern
ment bowed to him. Nearly all par
liamentary announcements concern
ing the war were made in his name.
He was the superman in British i'm
agination. Lord Kitchener accepted
the responsibility offered him as his
right. He had, in fact, insisted upon
it, and had declined to accept the Of
flee of minister of war without abso-
lutte authority.
War to Begin in May.
During the long months of German
successes last summer and of Ger
man steadfastness during the autumn
and winter, Lord Kitchener told his
people to have patience and to give
him time. 1.-THE war will begin in
May" he said, and England was
content, believing Kitchener to hesin-
fallinle. ButaWhen spring came, and
May, too, the expected offensive
could not be developed. The men
were there, but the ammunition was
not. Lord Kitchener had not antici-
pated this war was to develop into a
contest of ammunition. After Neuve
Chapelle, Kitchener complained be-
cause Sir John French's artillery had
fired more shells than were used dur
ing the entire Boer war. Sir John
French Immediately journeyed to
London and faced Kitchener and the
government. There was a memorable
session and Sir Johns insistence

MANY SETTLERS LOCATING
Deer Lake Land Appealing to South
ern Farm Seekers.

That Beltrami county is being re-
cognized as one of the foremost ag-
ricultural centers in the state is
made apparent by the ever increasing
flow of settlers to this section. Since
January first the Farmers Immigra-
ton company of Minneapolis has
brought over fifteen settlers weekly
and located them in the vicinity of
Deer Lake. The land in this section
is considered equal to any in the
county and those who have located
there claim that it will soon be the
most progressive farming community
in this section of the state.

WARM CAMPAIGN IN POLK
County Option Election to Be Held
Monday and Both "Wets" and
"Drys" Making Active Fight.
STEVENSON OPPOSES SALOONS

County optionists are now devoting
their attention to the election which
is to take place in Polk county next
Monday and the liquor industry in
Crookston and East Grand Forks is
possibly doomed to be wiped out at
the polls. Optionists claim that the
80 saloons of East Grand Forks, with
IL wholesale distributing depots and
brewery will be closed.
Crookston and East Grand Forks
are the only "wet" strongholds in
Polk county. The remainder of the
precincts are admitted to favor pro-
hibition.
Conditions confronting the 'wets''
in their fight to retain the saloons
are interesting. One farm after an
other is waving a white flag in the
breezes-"This farm is dry; no wet
need come on"
There are those who assert that
it was liquor, and North Dakota s
thirst, that brought East Grand
Forks into being in 1S89-that being

HATCHERY SUCCESS
PROVES WISDOM OF
ITSESTABLISHMENT
Nearly Six Million Fry Distributed in
Lakes Of This Territory as Result
-143 Cans in Lake Bemidii.
HAS COST STATE BUT SMALL SUM
Enterprise of Bemidji Citizens Re-
sponsible for Construction of Insti-
tution-Has Large Capacity.

It has cost the Game and Fish
commission of the state of Minnesota
but $14O to stock the lakes in the
vicinity of Bemidji, Thief River
Falls, Crookston, Fosston and Bagley
with nearly 100000 pike fry this
spring. This was made possible by
the establishment of a hatchery in
Bemidji, erected as a result of the
enterprise of the city's business men,
and equipped by the commission FROM
material not in use at the Glenwood
station.
Two years ago the Importance of
a hatchery in Bemidji was realized
by Frank s. Lycan, now president
of the common council and propri-
etor of the Markham hotel, one of
the leading hostelries in the North
west. Mr.. Lycan interested the
Commercial club in the project and
by his own efforts secured the CO.
operation of the state commission
By a subscription about 5000 was
raised for the erection of a building
to be used for the hatchery and after
it's completion it was completely
equipped by the commission.

The record made during the first
seasons use demonstrates the. wis
dom of the hatchery's construction.

tendent of the hatchery, who has
been active in the work, this morn
ing gave out figures showing what
has been done. - -.

The hatchery has capacity of T.
100000 fry. It is believed that at
least 100000 fry were lost when
defective tank broke last week sS1ss7.ss
Cost State But Little.
Excepting only the salary paid w.
M. Iverson, who had charge of tho
spawn, but including the wages paid
his assistants, the hatchery has cost
the state but $l40. This includes
board bills of Iverson and his help
ers, hauling of spawn and all carriage.
In Fine Condition.
The hatchery is now in fine cOndi-
ton for further use. It is possible
that white fish fry will be Matched
