this afternoon in a state of profound differ
ence of opinion on a question which is the
cardinal feature of its immediate policy. In
this case, designations may follow. The oppo-
81 ion 10 the Governments policy is beaded
by MIR. Walter Hume Long, and the move
ment is directed to suggest that the Cabinet
as a whole is not responsible for the Irish
scheme. This would virtually mean repudia-
tien of Mr.. Asquith's authority and a nullif-
cation OF all the efforts he has made in Il Gland.
Berlin, June 19th.-Italian troops are on
the offensive in many sections of the front
but are being held in check by the Austrians,
the Official statement issued in Vienna Satur-
day says. The statement is as follows: The
enemy maintained spirited artillery fire be-
tween the Adriatic and the Dei-sei-Busi
mountain. Italian attacks on our positions
were repulsed. On the ridge south of Mon
falcone there was fighting with mines and
hand grenades. An attack of the enemy on
Mrzlivhr failed as did repeated attacks on
our positions in the Dolomites. In the lat
ter sector and before Grodadel Ancona, an
attack delivered by the Italians broke down..
Strong assaults in the sector ofPrimolano made
on our positions near Crenzeck and against
Mont Melitta, met with the same fate. Itsli-

our front southeast of Asiago and were Ie-
pulsed. We captured Is officers and 334
men, and s machine-guns. The following
statement was issued to-day by the German
army Headquarters: Western Front: South
of the Belgo.French frontier as far as the
Somme, fighting continued. A French hand
grenade attack near Chavonue south of
Willy was repulsed. The explosion of
a German mine on La File Morte height in
the Argonne gave good results. In the
Meuse region the firing increased ap-
preciably towards evening and during
the night it attained great intensity on Dead
Mans Hill and to the west of the hill, as we'll
as in the sector of the front from Thiaumont
Wood to Fort Vaux. AS previously reported
during the night of the 18th an enemy at

THE ACTION Of eREEcE

After long and persistent efforts,
wherein every possible influence has
been brought to bear, the entente al
lies have succeeded in bringing Greece
around to it's way of thinking. This
does not mean that that country has
agreed to enter into the war on their
side but that it will carry on its poll
icy of benevolent neutrality under
even more favorable terms than here
tofore.
Greece is to a great extent mari
time nation. It relies to a large de-
gree for its supplies upon other coun-
tries and when the allies, in order to
accomplish their purpose established
a blockade which shut of those goods,
including foodstuffs. they played a
trump card and they won. Greece has
thus agreed to demobilize it's army.
1t has also promised to deport those
agents. who have been spreading Ger
man propaganda and 1t has accepted
the demand that pro entente sympa-
thy, which has been so much in evil
dence in the past. will not be sup
pressed IN the future. There will also
be brought about a change in the
police policy which has prevailed in
Athens and the head Of that depart
ment will go as a new non partisan
cabinet is organized to conduct the
government.
This means an important victory
for the allied nations and a rebuff for
the central powers. 1t means that
King Constantine, who has had such
strong German Ieanings in spite OF
the Indebtedness of his country to
Great Britain and France. mas been
forced to bow to pressure. It is like
wise an outcome which is entirely in
accord with the policy which ex-
Premier Venizelos has represented
and it means that while the king was
determined that he would not yield to
the popular sentiment which has
backed Venizelos he has been made
to see the necessity of giving in tc
powers which left no other course pos
sible, and Greece would have stood
better with those friends had 1t done
so before.

LETTERS TO THE EDITION
Preparedneas.


Mr.. Editor: These are strenuous
days of preparation by our national
government In order to meet the re-
quirements OF actual war with Mexico
Lack Of preparation on the part of
this country for the enforcement Of
its rights in Mexico is liable to cost
the nation the lives OF thousands Of
its young men, the flower of it's youth.
Norwich is now arranging for a
monster preparedness demonstration
which is to parade our streets on July
4, the nations holiday.
This cause appeals to the heart of
every true American, and our citi-
zens generally are giving the best
service at their command, and freely
contributing Of their money to adj
vance sentiment for this most impera-
tive national necessity.
In this connection there is a proba-
biiity Of thousands of people being
brought to our city by automobile
trolley and other means of convey
ance. to participate in, and otherwise
give their approval OF this great move
ment. Would it not be well for our
mayor to look over the situation and
decide whether our city is prepared
for the coming event. We shall prob
ably have TO endure for awhile longer
the disreputable conditions existing or
North Main and Thames streets. Per-
haps there is not time to FIX mp the
holes and otherwise repair the Yitrifiec
brick pavement on Main street, be-
tween the square and Preston bridge
but there is time to tidy up our city

NEW ENoLANDaS OPPORTUNITY.
For q long time the claim has been
advanced that the reason for the high
price of meat is that the supply is
not equal to the demand and this is
backed UP by figures which show a
falling off IN the number OF cattle
throughout the country despite the
fact that the population IS always
growing ana the demands for meat
constantly on the increase.
It has been repeatedly urged that
this is q problem which cannot be
left solely 10 the west to solve, but
that all sections, and especially those
which formerly were engaged in cat
tie raising should revive the industry
and lend their assistance in meeting
the demands. Attention has been d.
racted to the fact that New England
Is not doing all that it could in this
direction. There was a time when it
raised a large number OF cattle and
it is even now the opinion of no less
an authority than Theodore N. Vail,
who though his success has been OBJ
tanned along other lines is neverthe-
less well posted on farm possibilities.
that there is no reason why our meat
supplies should not be raised here on
OAA ANCNt AtAA%Ao44A AkAAA1s cA440 OAA OS4AGA
food supplies on our FARMS"
There is little doubt but what Ar.
Vail makes such a statement on the.
belief that such is entirely feasible
and that it can be done so as to re-
turn a compromising profit to those
who would engage in 1t. There can
be little question but what New Eng
land could do a great deal more than
Il does in this direction II does not
begin to make use Of fits opportunities
along such lines, but it is apparent
nevertheless that it is going to re-
quire something more than plain
statement of that kind to bring it
about. There are numerous examples
Of what can be accomplished in the
way Of raising live stock and along
the lines of farm development which
need to be set forth that all who read
may be convinced, and a good strong
campaign of education in this direc-
ton can be relied upon to furnish
valuable stimulation.
