ARMY LEADER FIRST
IN WAR, ITALY HOLDS
Senate Passes Bill Making Navy
Head Subordinate in Plan of
National Defense.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, May 19.-The first step in
the reorganization of Italy's military
institutions has been taken with pas
sage of Premier MuSsoliniS army re-
form bill. The measure went through
the Senate last night by 100 votes to
rs after a debate between the pre-
mier and Admiral Thaon di Revel,
former minister OF marine.
Defending the provision giving
plenary powers to the head of the
army general staff against the arGu-
ments of the admiral, Mussolini said
the three arms of the Service-mili-
tary, naval and aerial-must be CO.
ordinated and that this coordination
could best be effected under the army,
as greatest of the three.
Behind the Alps, he pointed out.
there were three great peoples, west
ern, German and Slav. Any invasion
of Italy would come, as it had al
ways come, from one of those di-
rections. The war of the future
would. like the World War, be Waged
mainly on land. although the inf1u-
ence of the navy would doubtless be
very great, especially if it We're a
question of q war of exhaustion.
Admiral di Revefs argument was
that future wars would more likely
be decided on the sea than on land
and that therefore it was a dangerous
policy to make the navy subordinate.

CAN DECLINE PROMOTION.
Precedents Exist for Action Expected
by Bishop Chartrand.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 10 LP.-The
Right Rev. Joseph Chartrand, Bishop
OF the Indianapolis diocese, selected
by Pope Plus as head of the arch
diocese of Cincinnati, Ohio, may de-
cline the appointment, close friends
declare, because of the possibility
of the Cincinnati diocese being divided
into two dioceses, with Indianapolis as
the new see, and the appointment of
Bishop Chartrand to head this diocese.
1t was stated that Bishop Chartra nd
was reluctant to leave the work he
had undertaken here.
1t also was pointed out that Bishop
Chartrand would be rendered the ap-
pointment as archbishop if recent
plans for the division of the Cincin-
natl diocese were carried out. This,
friends said. was considered almost
certain, since the archdiocese is now
the largest in the world.
Chartrand Out of City.
Should he decline the appointment,
1t would not be without precedent,
1t was said. Elevation or transfer to
new see of a bishop is subject to
the consent of the appointee. and
several church dignitaries have de-
cltned appointment to "a higher office.
No statement was forthcoming from
the bishops residence, where it was
said he was out of the city.
Bishop Chartrand has been head of
the indianapolis diocese since Septem-
Der z, 1918. He was born at st. Louis,
May IL, 1870, the son of Joseph and
Margaret Chartrand. He has gained
wide reputation for his interest in
educational work during his bishop
ric here. He was ordained priest by
Bishop Silas Chatard on September
90, 1897, and was consecrated bishop
coadjutor by Cardinal F'alconio on
September Is, 1910.
