.BRITAINS PREPARING
TO PRESS WAR ANEW
FORM NEW GOVERNMENT TO BEAR
BURDEN OF CONFLICT.
Italian Advance Move Into Austria and
Vast Bodies OF Troops Continue
Bloody Work On Other Fronts.

Great Britain's new war cabinet,
whereby it is hoped to carry on the
campaign with great energy and eff
fciency, has been formed. Earl
Kitchener. remains secretary for war.
David LIoyd-George is transferred for
t. e time being from the office of chan
celIor of tie excheQuer to the ministry
of munitions-a new post. Winston
Spencer Churchill, whose administra-
ton of admiralty department has been
seye1e.y criticised, is replaced by Ar
thur J. Balfour, Of the opposition. An
drew Bonar Law, leader Of the oppo-
sition, has become secretary for the
colonies. Herbert Ii. AsQuith remains
prime minister, and Sir Edward Grey
will continue to direct foreign rela-
!. tions. When Premier Asquit1 made
his announcement of the pending
changes in the ministry, he declared
that there would be no change in these
two offices.
The new cabinet includes II Lib
erals, eight Conservatives and one La
borite. Earl Kitchener took Office in
the first instance as non-partlsan.
TIE Irish party is not represented, al
though John Redmond was invited to
accept seat.
The Austro-Italian campaign has de-
yeloped little so far beyond the push
ing forward of the Italian advance
guards, who have crossed the frontier
and occupied several towns in the dl-
rection OF Trieste, and raid by Aus
. trian warships and aeroplanes on sew
eral Italian coast towns.
Campaigns in the old tIeaters OF the
war are occupying the attention OF
vast bodies of troops along these
fronts. North of Pryemysl, in Galicla,
the Austro-Germans are engaged IN
powerful drives against the Russian
lines and, according to Vienna and
Berlin, have taken an additional 2l,OOO
prisoners.
In the West the British have not
deld all their line against the Ger
man assault, but tie French report i'm
portant gains north of Arras, the cap
ture of one of the great German
trenches in the neighborhood of Sou
chez and two important German works
in the northwest of Angres, and which
permitted them to advance over ter
ritory from which they previously mad
been barred.
The nature of the fighting in the
Dardanelles can be inferred from an
official statement issued at London,
which, telling of an agreement for a
suspension of hostilities for the burial
of the dead, says:
cover 5000 Turks were burled-all
killed between May 1S and 2O.' and a
casualty list just published giving the
names of 919 Australians killed and
wounded in the Dardanelles opera
tions. The statement reports con
siderable progress by both the French
and British on the Gallipoli peninsula.

WHY ITALY GOES TO WAR.

Speaking geographically, The Record
few days ago opined: Eve can un-
erstand why Italy might feel driven
- take up arms, but what drives Ru-
eania?" Commenting upon this, The
ewberry Herald and News says:
"'Well, now if you really know why
$aly took up arms, or why any of the
ations are fighting, and what they are
ghting about, please tell US, but be
Sd enough not to mention that we
kplayed our ignorance by asking tie
estion. We are frank to admit that
fe were called to state plainly and
fly what all this war is about we
Id have to pretered to be too busy
g something else, Or expose our
bility to give the causes, and we do
know now why Italy wants to get
unless she wants to help Austria to
rec Russia to capitulate. Be good
pough to explain all the causes Of the
ar and why Italy has gone in as
H."
We have perfectly good answer of
own ready, but in order to crafty
Id, at the same time to satisfy our
inquirer, TIE Record gives the follow
ing which is not ours, but is quite con-
clusiye:
'Italy's entrance upon the war pre-
sents to the observer peculiar parcel
Iof paradoxes.
''For Italy it is at once a mercenary
war and sentimental war.
'Not all the Italian talent ford evious
diplomacy has been able to devise
reasonable cause for throwing the ma
ton into the struggle. Her borders
have not been passed, her peace has
not been threatened, even her dignity
mas, not been put upon.
"Only hunger for more territory Gas
impeHed this belated belligerency, and
it is impossible to doubt that the ruling
powers balanced long and shrewdly
the comparative advantages to be OBJ
tanned by fighting with or against the
allied forces.
Notwithstanding this air of cold
calculation, the action of Italy has in
the end been forced by public senti-
ment. Unquestionable king and pow
erful though waning force in the gov
ernment have been against it to the
end. The people, the masses, forced
it. D'Annunzio is the great central
figure of the day. The poet has put
the politicians and diplomats under his
feet. The dramatist is stalking the
greatest tragedy of his career.
''Not another nation entered this war
because of the wish of its people
Germany obeyed her rulers. Belgium
was forced by sudden invasion France
took up the burden of self-defense with
a sigh. Not even today has Great Brit
ain manifested true popular enthusi-
asm in the conflict. Italy alone springs
to her frontiers with cheers, with
laughter and with song"
1t will be interesting to see if peo-
pie fights better when it is eager to
fight"

He doesn't try to win them, and he

The same we'll balanced mortal in the

He isn't any different to one than to
another,
With everybody, smilingly, he sends
Hello, Brother!"
The fellow people love, you know
who makes brighter sky
And everybody likes nim, but re don't
know why!
God gave him lots Of laughter, and ne
gives it back again;
He says he's never bothered doing
things for other men;
He's gentle with the children and po-
lite to women-well!
His days are spent in waving around
his felloWmen a spell.
They greet him with affection every
time t-ey pass MIN by
And everybody likes him, but he don't
know why!
Guess he's lived IN your town as he
= used to live in mine;
His cheeks were always rosy and his
eys were full of shine;
His sympathies were ever with the
weak and with the old,
His heart was like blossom and his
soul was true as gold;
He scorned a guilty action or a
meanness or a lie
And everybody liked MIN but Ee
couldn't tell you why!
l want to say that what l said about
mad doge and automobile accidents
was not intended in the least to be
personal, and if any one so construed
it I am sorry. The truth of the re-
marks generally I am willing to stand
by to the time when l am convinced
that 1 am in error, and then l will
be glad to acknowledge my error. I'm
til then, never. There are a great
many laws and ordinances on the books

YOU try it some time when you are

NEW YORK, July s.--with the return
Of the Swedish steamship zamora, which
was held up in Barrow-in-F -Furness.
where her cargo OF American goods. in
Guiding 40 tons Of copper, was seized
interested shippers yesterday sent a
protest to the State Department against
the action Of the British pfize court.
The Zamora. which was carrying a
cargo of grain and copper for Stock
holm, was compelisd by a British cruiser
to put into Kirkwall. where she was
held ten days. Later she was sent
to Barrow-in- Furncss. where she was
detained pending the discharge OF her
entire cargo.
The reason for the protest to the State
Department was because the prize court
Judge assumed the burden Of proof of
the noncontraband character of the
Zarnora's cargo and its exemption from
seizure was upon the shipper. Such a
| requirement would bear heavily on
American trade. The British charged
the cargo was destined for Germany.

of $4,000 Blaze in Phila-

PHILADELPHIA, July s.-The police
here today are conducting a rigid in
vestigation into the origin of the
$4,000 blaze that threatened the big
chemical plant of Harrison Brothers
and Company. They believe the fire to
be the work of an incendiary.
Because the plant was generally
known to have been rushing work on
several large chemical orders for the
allies, coupled with the mysterious
origin Of the fire, the authorities are
working on the theory that plot to
destroy the plant existed.
The police today closely questioned
an Austrian employe of the chemical
works who was seen to be the last
leaving the plant last night.
