SINN FEINN GIVING ENGLISH
CABINET TROUBLE
LONDON. Oct. 28.—The resump
tion of Sinn Fein actives are being
goven more serious consideration
than at any time since the suppres
sion of the Irish revolt in Dublin.
It has consumed the time of the
cabinet meetings almost wholly for
some weeks and no settlement of
the question or any decision as to
just what should be done has been
reached. It will be recalled that
in April of lfilC the Kings troops
put down an incipieot uprising of
Irish which but for its betrayal am
the governments preparation, lor i
in advance might have resulted ii
the establishment of the Irish re
public so long sought and plannee
for. The British government laii
the trouble at the door of the Sim
Fe'n, a leading Irish orginizatioi
and continues to regard that orga
nization as chief’y responsible fo
its troubles in Ireland.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Member
[ of the famous Irish organization,
t the Sinn Fein when interviewed to
i da/ vigorously protest and deny the
- activities imputed to their Dublin
; compatriots in news dispatches
I emanating from London yesterday,
i The few members who could be
1 reached asserted that it is part and
- parcel of a wide publicity conspi
- racy to discredit the patriotic aspi
rations of the Irish people and to
still further bolster John Bull’s
i rtpressive measures.
ITALIANS TO FORM
NEW LINES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29.—
Dispatches from Rome to the war
office indicate that new Italian line
■will be formed on the Tagliamento
River where a defensive stand will
be taken to save third of Italian
army. Italian military critics are
attributing the defection of the
second array to the fact that they
are married men over thirty live
years of age and declared‘they were
inHuenced by German Americans
and peace propaganda.
Officials figures are being pre
pared on the second liberty loan
for announcement November 1st
that half a billion dollars over the
amount required has been sub
scribed.

LONDON, Oct. 2 9.—Arrange
ments are being perfected with all
possible ha--:te to send reinforce
ments of men and munitions to ihe
aid of the Italian forces who have
been making biave but losing stand
against the combined onslaughts of
the German and Austrian armies on
the southern battle line.
The French cabinet remained in
session all night in an endeavor to
arrive at a solution of what is ad
mitted to be the greatest field
problem so far originating in the
war. It was shown that the Ital
ian soldiers fighting against the
Mackenzen odds of over four to one
have sustained the most brilliant
traditions, of war that they have
not retreated or yeilded but have
been literally hammered backward
in ponderous mass attacks of hard
ened German and Austrian soldiers
greatly outnumbering them. The
deliberations revealed the deep con
cern felt both the English and
French offeiais over the situation
which is regarded as more than off
setting the advantages gained by
the allied armies of Great Britain
and France in Belgium as well as
the advances by the Russians on
the Riga, news of which was car
ried in Saturday’s dispatches.
The anxiety of both cabinets was
greatly enhanced because of the
persistent renewal of rumors of
civil war in Italy as a result of the
reverses to Italian arms. The par
ticipation of the Italian government
in the war lias been bitterly op
osed from the cut.-ei and it is an
open European secret that the war
has ont gained in popularity with
the anti-military elements in that
country who will not lose the ad
| vantage afforded by the increasing
disasters to the valiant Italian ar
mies to renew their peace agitation.
Mon high in the war game admit
that anything happen in Italy
now,—even revolution, such a re
volution as overtook the Russian
government. Italy’s working classes
are known to be almost wholly so
cialistic. It was decided to send aid
to Italy with all possible di-patch
to aid in forming defensive and to
reinvigorate the war spirit.
KAISER AND KING
ON OPPOSING FRONTS
ROME, Oct. 29.—On account of '
the increasing dissention in Itaiy
and the crisis impending upon her '
ministry King Vctor Emanuel was
secretly spririted to Rome from the ■
battle line where he had been with
his troops, concluding his efforts
here without effecting a. settlement
of the difficulties of his government
he has returned to the front.
it is announced that on his side
the Kaiser likewise is expected to
appear behind the German lines.
rhis circumstances tends to con
irm the supposition prevailing that
Germany is to content herself with
lefensive operations on the west
:rn front but expects to smash
hrough to ‘.he mediterranean on
he south.
The Italian press is everywhere
ndignant at the charge of coward
ce being made against the Italian
roops and the wires ore busy with
lispatches denying the charges and
carrying proofs in detail of the
various military operations in
which they have been engaged,
proofs which it is claimed entirely
vindicate the ' oldiers. In the other
capitals of Paris and London it is
already known that German and
Austrian were four to one against
the Italians.
