Mr.. Churchilfs position Is virtually the
same. His Willingness TO accent n
subordinate position and work for the
success OF the new government is likely
to make him popular with the country
and aid his future political career.
Lloyd George and Mr.. Henderson will
be especially charged with the task of

pectcd OF the former chancellor in or

Sir Edward Carson represents the

regret that Mr.. Redmond declined to
enter the Cabinet and make the repre-
sentation embrace all political parties.
Tho Cabinet undoubtedly includes the
strongest men in public life.
The reconstruction of the British
Cabinet. according TO Premier Asauith,
was due to desire to place the gov
eminent on broader personal and DO
litical basis The Premier declared in
the House of Commons last week that
there would he no change in the policy
of tho country with regard to the
prosecution OF the war with all possi-
BILE energy. and that the reconstruct
ton should not be taken in any quar-
ter. or for any reason, as indicating
anything in the nature of surrender
or compromise on the part Of any

One of the chief causes for the change

1t was only tho sincere desire for peace
prevailing among the Italian people
which prevented q rupture. After the
European war broke out Italy sought
to come to an understanding with Aus
tria- Hungary with view to settlement
satisfactory to both parties, which
would avert existing and future trouble.
Her efforts were In vain. notwith-
standing the efforts of Germany. which
for months endeavored to induce Aus
tria Hungary to comply with Italys
suggestions. thereby recognizing tho
propriety and legitimacy OF the Italian
attitude. Therefore, Italy found her
self compelled by force of events to
seek other solutions. Inasmuch as
the treaty OF alliance with Austria Hun
gary had ceased virtually to exist and
served only to prolong a state OF con-
tinual friction and mutual suspicion, the
Italian ambassador at Vienna was In
structed to declare to the Austro- Hun
garian government that the italian
government considered itself free from
the tics arising out Of the treaty of the
triple alliance In 30 far rs Austria
Hungary was concerned. This COM
munication was delivered in Vienna on
May 4.
subsequently to this declaration. and
after we had been obliged to take steps
for the protection Of our interests, the
Austro-Hungarian government sub
mitted new concessions. which. how
ever. were deemed insufficient and by
no means met our minimum demands
These offers could not be considered
under the circumstances.
The Italian government, taking into
consideration what has been stated
above and supported by the vote OF

ton OF the country, came to the de-
cision that any further delay would be
inadvisable. Therefore. on this day
