Cabinet announced in yesterdays dis

of the Treasury, is president Of the
Bank of Italy. He is not connected
with any of the parties in Parliament,

lists. He advocates the annexation of
the entire Dalmatian littoral and is
against compromise with the Jugo-
Slavs.
General Caviglia, the Minister Of
War in the reorganzed Orlando gov
ernment, is one of Italys national
heroes. 1t was his army that, on

capitulation.

prec'pitated in the last week of De-
cember by the resignation Of Leonido
