POLITICAL PARTIES RALLY
TO ITALY'S NEW CABINET
Political Differences Are Put Aside in
Face of the Country's
Danger.

Rome, Nov THE strongest proof of
how Italy is now rallying to repel the
Teutonic invader was furnished in the
quick formation of coalition cabinet.
Practically all parties threw aside their
political differences and joined in this
ministry. Particularly emphatic was
the response of the Socialists--the party
which forced the downfall of the Boselli
cabinet.
AS formed, the cabinet includes these
officers:
Premier and minister of the interior,
Vittorio Orlando.
Minister of foreign affairs, Baron Son
nino.
Minister of war, General Alieri.
Minister of finance, Signor Media.
Minister OF pensions, Signor Bissolati

AMERICAN AiRNEN
ARE DEMOCRATIC
They Garry Spirit of Self-Governmen'
So Far in London Camp That There
Is No Commissioned Officer
in Charge.

London, Nov. l.-(Corres pondence.) -
Several detachments of American sol
diers in training for aviation work are
now located at aerodromes within the
confines of Greater London, and are seen
during their leisure hours sightseeing
about the city or doing their shopping
along Regent street, Bond street. or in
the shops around Oxford circus.
To the British eye, the notable differ
ence between the Americans in training
and the British squads alongside them,
is a somewhat more democratic flavor in
the American ranks. In one American
camp, the spirit of self -government is
carried so far that no commissioned Off
Ger is on duty at present, the detach-
ment being under the command of Sc
nior non commissioned officer. He is com
monty call sergeant major" about the
camp, although his correct title, which
suggests the navy rather than the army,
is misunderstanding electrician.
When the United States came into the
war this officer was in charge of group
of men on CONSTITUTIONAL work in the
United States, The men under him have
been recruited chiefly from automobile
factories, with sprinkling of young col
legians. The squad is at present deyot-
ing its time to learning the construction
of an airplane. The men are at times a
little impatient about the deliberate
methods of the English instructors, and
would rather have a little less theory
and little more practice. But they
know that the practice is only matter
of few weeks now"
In the matter of discipline, the
Americans are a little less observant of
the letter of the law than the British |

sired to keep out of war with Austria in
order that an avenue might be left open
for negotiations with the central powers
does not hold water. On the contrary,
officials have indicated time and again
their entire indifference concerning what
Austria may do, and the seizure of the
Austrian merchant ships along with the
German vessels and the sequestering of
Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish prop
critics in this country along with the Ger
man property under the alien property

Even now with regard to Italy officials
state that there is no intention of letting
the absence OF declaration of state Of

only of course, it is improbable that the

the Italians against the Austrian forces,

NO HOSTILE
DECLARATIONS
Hapsburgs First to Sever
Relations and Side
with Berlin

| Washington, Nov 1.-The Italian cri
sis is the cause of renewed pressure or
the government for formal declaration
of war against Austria.
The old arguments are being revived
that America cannot do her full part in
enemy and proceeds with Italy to the
task of crushing the Hapsburg brand of
autocracy as well as the Hohenzollern.
1t was reported yesterday in usually
well informed quarters that the matter
was actually discussed at Tuesday after
Moons protracted cabinet meeting, and
many believe that it will be discussed
at the forthcoming conference of the al
lies in Paris in connection with the i'm
mediate aid being given Italy and the
preparations to be made for next springs
offensiyes
The idea in many minds here is that
definite move of some kind regarding
Austria will have been decided upon by
the time that Congress, the only body
that can declare war, is ready to convene
in December.
Officials are naturally reticent on the
subject, although of course no attempt
is made to disguise the fact that from
the very entry of the United States into
the war and the arriyai'of the Italian
war mission in Washington Italy has
been urging the United States to take
such action.
The arguments used have all been in
line with the persistent theory of the
italians that the war can only be won
by drive through Austria.
