 One of the most serious questions Is the utter inadequacy of transportation facilities since the outbreak of the Flu ropean war.

CURZON AND CARSON .ON BRITISH CABINET
London Times Says Selec- tions Have Been
 Agreed Upon

London. May 2A-9.i7 a. ml-The new British cabinet according to the Times. win have as members both Lord Curzon of Kedleston, former viceroy of India. and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader. The newspaper also states that the ac- ceptanee Of office by Lord Lansdowne was due to the urgent necessity of giv- ing relief to Sir Edward Grey al the for eign office
 Lord Iansdowne was foreign secretary tn the last unionist administration and as Sir Edward Grey is troubled with an affection of the eyes which eompels him , to take an occasional holiday in ths country, il was necessary to find a suit able qualified substitute. Ii Is believed the distribution of the portfolios in the fighting departments Is still undecided and that they are giving Premier Asqlith much trouble it seems certain that Ad- miral Lord Fisher will not return to the admiralty, and it is rumored that he will be succeeded as first sen lord by Ad- miral Sir Henry Bradwardine Jackson, former chief of the war staff.
 There seems still to he a likelihood that David Lloyd George chancellor of the ex- cheqner, will go to the war office as a. sort of minister for munitions.
 Arnold White well known publicist. writes 10 the Daily Express today say ins that if Lord Fisher Is to return to ,he admiralty 'it will be on his own terms Mr. White says he told Lord Fisher that he had broken up one cabi- net and asked him if he was going to break mp second. To this Lord Fisher Is quoted as having said
 What are cabinets to me- My business is to kill Germans enough to prevent Germany from winning this war. To kill Germans is the affair of scamen and soldiers not Parliaments and cabinets. Therefore I will work with neither Churchill nor Balfour as the head of the admiralty."

Really Did Lay Golden Egg"

From the Los Angeles Times
 Yura City. Cal.--To find mbedded in the gizzard of a goose which he killed a gold nugget valued at the sum of S1b was the experience of Jake Weller of Live Oak The gold was in an irregular mass, and adhered to the gizzard of the bird. Ac- cording to a physician. who examined the same. 1t must have been lodged in the eizzard for sometime. but failed to kill the bird
 Weller has had the nugget mounted on handsome gold watch charm by a Mary vile Jeweler, and prizes the same very highly. It is believed the goose picked the nugget up somewhere while feeding and swallowed it. The goose proved to be most valuable bird, and Weller is re- ceiving the congratulations of his friends on his capture of such prize.

Creates Profound Impression

Rome, May 23.-(yia Paris. ?. m.)-The report reaching Rome that the German and Austrian governments have preVent- ed 30 GOO Italians from leaving the ter ritory of those countries has created a profound impression. The Glornale D'Itala declines to believe the report, not only because this would be opposed to the rights of nations, but for the reason that Italy not only permitted the depart ure of Austrians and Germans from ltal- ian soil, but protected these nationals.
 From the Austrian side of the frontier news reaches udine that the Italian resi- dents are actually being hunted, and that the fate of GOO who left Trieste hoping to reach Italy is unknown and that the greatest anxiety for their safety is felt.
 At Rovigno, in Istria, 62 Italian citizens have been arrested These lnciude the mayor, Signor D'Avanzo, and the secre- tary of the municipality All ltallan cl'i- zcns residing near the fortihcatlons or Pola have been taken into custody by the rolice. and at Cormons, on the frontier, 1000 Italians, for the most part women and children, have been concentrated ana prevented from leaving the territory
 The population of the town of Trent one of Austria s strongly fortified towns has been reduced one-fifth. During the last two days the inhabitants have been terrified by the explosion of mines, wlth which the military authorities were de- st; owing houses bridges and everything within the fortified zone.
 The remainder of the residents of Trent have been notified to be in readiness 10 leave instantly.
