Theodore Roosevelt wants to go to the gattletlelds of Europe with a great army No man in the world today could rally to the standard so quickly as he, an army of virile, en- thusiastie followers, ready to go where he leads and fight as he fights. Thousands believe Roosevelt should be allowed to do the thing he de- sires to do. because they think it should be done. and that he is the man to do 1t. Others think it would be good way to get rid of man they dislike. Anyhow it would seem a pretty good thing to let Roosevelt have his way, and thus please both friends and enemies.

Speeial Gable Despatch TO THE Sos.
RoM., Oct. 22.--The fall OF the Minis
try now appears inevitable. The charges
of Government neglect in connection
with the food shortage seem to have
been disprovsd, out too late TO prevent
a radical upheaval
Scenes Of great excitement followed
an address In Parliament by former
Food Controller Canepa. who said the
millers were to blame for conditions.
Signor Canepa denied that the Turin
riots were due to the shortage OF bread.
since 1850 tons were available there In
addition TO $50 tons hidden by the mil
lers, who purposeiy stopped grinding on
Ins.gnifcant pretexts. He hinted that
the riots were inspired solely by anti
sabotage.
Ex- Minister NItti delivered speech
explaining the situation, which was i'd
mitted to be serious. He did not spare
the Cabinet Il ON criticism.
The speech was .reeted with an ova-
ton by q house whose patriotism had
been aroused to high pitch. Even Baron
Sonnino, the Foreign Minister, signih-
cantiy congratulated Nitti. whose entry
into the next Cabinet ia highly probable.
sixteen Catholic Deputies signed
motion calling for reply by the Gov
ernment to the Pope's note. They ex-
