Politics took a peculiar turn In ele-

more conservative by nature would be
difficult to find among contemporary
Italian statesmen.

dent Wilson His interests are pri-
marily those Of the student. His past
activities have been as much academic
as political He Is simple, modest and
domestic In his personal tastes. Never
theless It is this professor OF public
law IN the University Of Rome who Is
today the idol Of the Italian populace,
to whom the idea Of war with Austria
Is so dear.
How Salandra, the professor, came to
be the head or the Overwhelming ma
Jority which kept Italy In a course
leading directly 10 war on the side Of
the allies Is clearly explained in the de-
velopment OF Italian affairs from the
time he became first minister, In
March, 1914, untn he weathered the
recent ministerial crisis
It may seem a far cry to the state
Of affairs when Salandra, the student
Of economics, the ex-treasury minister
and revenue expert, was called upon to
head a ministry whose chief task ap-
peared TO be the rehabilitation Of the
treasury, exhausted by the last Italian

When SaIandra resigned and insisted
that the king accept his resignation
the latter asked Marcora, Garibaldian
veteran and president OF the chamber
OF deputies, to form a new cabinet
Marcora declined the honor on the
ground that the popularity OF Salandra
and his policies were 50 great that be

minister Of the treasury, to whom the
king offered the premiership, declined
on the same ground In the meantime
no doubt existed as to the wishes Of
the people At Milan 10000 people met
and protested against the resignation
OF Salandra, and mobs in Rome made
their desires known in no less vigorous
manner. The situation demanded that
Salandra retain Office and he consented
Now, vested with complete powers by
the Italian parliament, this scholarly
gentleman holds a warlike nations
destiny In his hands.
Salandra was born at Troia, In Fog
gia, ON Aug. 81, 1853. Naturally a stu
dent, he qualified for the degree OF
bachelor OF laws at the University Of
Naples when he was twenty-five. He
was indefatigable IN equipping him
self with a knowledge Of public law
and finance. so that when he entered
the chamber OF deputies In the six
teenth legislature his abilities were
quickly recognized He sat with the
center and took part actively In the
parliamentary labors OF that legisla-
ture. His solid culture, his wen bal
anced intellect and manner and his
acuteness were rewarded eventually
with an undersecretaryship OF state
for finance This was In the ministry
Of Premier di Rudini In 1901. From
1893 to 1896 he was undersecretary
for the treasury. and subsequently, be
was In the department OF agriculture OF
the Pelloux cabinet
Later he received the treasury port

strengthening out the revenues at din

But that was when President Wilson was at the
height OF his popularity and power Later on,
when the administration began to fall into dis
repute, Senator PoindeXter began to break
away from his new found political friends and
allies and after the election of last November,
which indicated clearly that the Democrats
were losing ground and demonstrated that the
third party, as a unity, was rapidly dwindling,
Senator Poindexter apparently began to devote
much thought to his own political future. The
record shows that he wavered. 1t was clear as
daylight that POndexter's career in the Senate
must end with his present term unless he could
get back into his old party and reinstate him
self in the graces of its members. His return,
therefore, caused little surprise to those who
had been watching his course during the last
six months, and least of all to those who were
familiar with the ease with which he adapted
his political opinions to the eXigencies of job
holding
The Washington Post observes that the
numerous reasons assigned by Poindexter for
his switch are of no consequence. 1.-The fact
that there is no longer Progressive party is
a sufficient reason for his return to the Repub-
ican fold,' says this paper. The statement
in which he gives his reasons for deciding to
seek reelection as a Republican is very long,
but it, can be sifted down to the fact that the
voters who followed the Bull Moose in 1912
are now back in the Republican party"
And the Washington Star aptly says that
Senator Poindexter realizes now that the fight
both in his own state and in the nation is be-
tween the two old parties. His Bull Moosery
did not impair his belief in Republican funda-
mentals.. Strong language about old differences
does not possess healing properties. 1t is never
recommended as a substitute for balm" I ..

CRITICISM OF THE BRITISH NAVY.

The opinion was expressed in these columns
Yesterday that the loss of the Lusitania and
subsequent criticism of the British navy had
something to do with the retirement of Winston
Churchill and Baron Fisher. 1t, is interesting
to find the following from the pen of noted
correspondent from Washington to the Chicago
Daily News, just to hand: ~. 49,
I'm official circles here there is disposition,
in view of the Lustania and other incidents, to
inquire: What of the British navy So far
as official information goes it appears that the
Lusitania was proceeding without convoy.
Why! While official Judgment on the whole
incident will be withheld until all the facts are
known, these are questions to which answers
are desired here. The first impression is that
the British navy will not escape criticism"
