| MEMBERS RESIGN
Action Follows Premier Bosel.
IFS Declaration of Govern
ment's War Aims.
PLANS FOR NEW MINISTRY

ROME, October 27-The resignation
Of the cabinet was announced yester-
day By Premier Boselli.
An interesting feature of the defeat
Of the ministry was the applause with
which the chamber received the
speeches Of Premier Boselli, Foreign
Minister Sonnino and Minister Of the
Interior Orlando, in explaining the
policy of the cabinet. Its defeat in the
vote of confidence was a surprise, and
it leaves the king without definite in
dication as to tho political tendency of
the chamber. It - taken a settled
that he will call on Minister Orlando
to form 4 new cabinet. The chamber
has shown itself particularly favorable
toward tho minister Of the interior.
Tho general opinion in parliamentary
quarters IL that only a few members
of the retiring cabinet will be asked
to Join the new one.
The newspapers believe the war
policies Of the new ministry will be
unchanged.

Favor Disarming and Arbitration.

"All OF the allies theoretically ap-
prove of the papal plan to disarm and
to arbitrate, as is proved by their
answers to the first message to Presi-
dent Wilson. The difficulty is to find
la practical means to enforce the prin-
ciples so as to substitute for the brutal
strength the strength Of the moral
duty.
Speaking of the freedom Of the seas
discussing that subject in time of
peace. but in time of war it is difficult
to have it observed.
THE central empires he said, "theo-
retically declare that they accept this
principle, but practically everybody
knows how they have observed; the
case of the Argentine ships sunk in
spite of the solemn word of the Ger
man minister and the instructions
given to the submarine dominance 70
sink Argentine ships without leaving
Germany and Austria are disposed to
respect the principle of the freedom of

Discussing that part of the papal note
concerning the combinations of in
IDENTITIES. the foreign minister said
that when the triumph of moral prin-
ciples is invoked it is at least neces-
lndemnities and the payment for dam
ages which are the inevitable results

continued. 1.-The fact must be taken into

chamber Of deputies tho entire chamber
applauded q speech by Foreign Minister
Sonnino reviewing the international stu
alton. calling phases Of the Pope's peace
proposal pro-German and declaring the
intention OF Italy and her allies to light

All references to the allies were greeted
with enthusiasm. and when the foreign
minister spoke Of the visit Of tho King Of
Italy to the King Of Belgium, the en-
tire chamber rose to applaud. The minis
ter also expressed his belief In the abil-
ity Of the new Russian democracy to
settle its internal difficulties, and that
these difficulties would not affect the

No Basis for Understanding.

"One needs only to read the latest
speeches Of the German and Austrian
Minister'S" he continued, ito realize
that it is absolutely impossible to enter
into any negotiations with the central
powers, who have carefully avoided to
express any clear basis for an under
standing and have avoided to engage
their word on any point whatsoever
IF they have failed to do this it is
because they count on weakening of
the spirit of the allies and think that
IL they can only induce them to enter
into discussion they can count on the
deire of the world for peace They
think thus that with so-called conces-
sions both to Italy and France they can.
create dissatisfaction among the allies
and create some vague illusions in the
allied countries. The allied govern
ments, however, are quite aware of
the moves of the central empires, and
Of the necessity of maintaining the
warIike spirit on their respective ma
lions to the earnest.
The allied governments have always
serious proposition Of their enemies.
but this cannot be done until the
enemy gives guarantees that the
principles for which the allies are all
fighting will be safeguarded. No peace
negotiation Is possible without this
preliminary understanding. All those
who are moved by humanitarian senti-
ments In wishing the end Of the con-
fiict should always look for the OPP
perfume moment to suggest the be-
ginning Of negotiations among the
tromission will only serve to strength
en- in them the decision to carry on
their plans and possibly also enlarge
them.

Food Situation Main Factor.

According to advices received here. the
fall of the cabinet was due solely to dis
satisfaction over the food administration.
and In the reconstructed government
Baron Sonnino will be retained at the
head OF the foreign Office.
In his speech, which was cabled to the
Italian embassy here. Baron Sonnino ex-
planned, in response to questions. the
governments reasons for assigning to the
ambassador at Washington the duties of
high commissioner in the United States
and for refusing passports to the socialist
delegates to the Stockholm conference
Then he touched upon Itaiy's entry into
the war. He declared the people are
'cheerfully and courageously bearing the
burdens of the war. which they wanted
and for which they are ready to stand
any sacrifice"
Turning to the papal peace note. Baron
Sonnino said: so far as the pontin ex-
presses the opinion that peace must be
maintained and means found whereby
no nation can break the peace of the
world, the appeal finds complete echo in
all the civilized world. but when one reads
the papal note carefully one finds that it
lacks precision just as much as the notes
Of our enemies"
