hanged in the Magnolia state,
but reprieves were given three of

Premier Giolittl, who has been the leader of
the neutral group, precipitated the resgna-

talIed. Giolittl issued a statement, In which
he declared that, while he was in favor of
armed neutrality, he was not opposed to
war as a last resort. Salandra consulted his
personal friends, and the King, and appar-

agreed on the essentials. He then consented
to remain at the head of the Government
The irresponsible war party may demand
war at once, but the Ministry, which must
conduct the operations and finance the cam

leader of the neutras himself. The longer
war is delayed the better prepared the coun-

with the Allies. The Government has been
deliberately seeking to extend tho frontiers.
All Italians are committed to the policy Of
including within the kingdom all the ada

will be satisfied. But If display OF force is
