en- years ago, he had been in the employ
of the Demeritt company, residing at the
Buckley home at Duxbury Corners. From
here the funeral will be held at | o'clock
tomorrow; burial at South Duxbury.
Deceased is survived by his widow and
one daughter, Miss Lucy Talbert; also

Rome, Aug. 31.The entrance OF,
the United States into the war as an
ally of Italy was the indirect cause
Of the resignation of Minister Of Ma
rine Triangi and the nomination In
his stead of Admiral Del Bono.
During the recent secret session Of
parliament, Minister Triangi was
called upon, as is customery, to an
swer questions regarding the condi-
tions Of his department. One fof these
was:
What help will the United States
give us presently"
He answered with seamanlike
frankness that it would be long tilne
before the United States could be OF
any great service, since she was yet
only preparing for war. His response
was attacked by the opposition to the
ministry and Triangi was so chagrined
that he never attempted any more
speeches during the session.
