ROME, March 10.
An extremely Important meeting of the
Council of Ministers was held Inst evening,
beginning at half past 9 o'clock nnd con
tinuing for several hours. Tho Ministers
were brought together on an uigent sum
mons and it Is believed that they consider
ed matters of the gravest importance for
the future of Italy. No Information as to
their decisions has been made public.
Tho conference was called after Pre
mier Salandra, who has Just returned
from n visit to Gaeta, where a new mili
tary harbor was dedicated, had spent most
of the day In an Interview with Uaron
Sonnlno, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
feeling Is general that Italy Is on the eve
of great events.
Great national spirit was manifested
throughout the Premier's visit to Gaeta,
the people showing a patriotism that Im
pressed the Minister greatly and con
vinced many In his party that the public
wants Intervention. A remark by the
Premier at Gaeta la repeated all over the
country as Indicating the course of future
events In referring to the kind of brown
bread which wilt bo allowed in Italy after
March 23 Blgnor Salandra said:
"This Is a, noble bread. Our soldiers
will be the llrst to be sacrificed and
Italians will see the destiny of their
country accomplished,"
It Is nltirmed In political circles here
that Italy's final choice between neu
trality and Intervention will be wholly
Independent of the attitude of Greece and
Rumania. Among the considerations
which render a decision more pressing
than at any time since the outbreak of
the war is the specific axiom that Italy
cannot disinterest herself in the partition
of Asiatic Turkey which the forcing of
the Dardanelles by the Allies' fleet has
thrust into the foreground of Interna
tional politics
So long as tho Integrity of the Ottoman
Empire was guaranteed, the sphere of In
fluence to which Italy laid claim In
Adalla (a seaport In Asia Minor), might
under the circumstances be considered
ample, but as the break up of the Turk
ish State I now a foregone conclusion,
Italy's vast potentialities render It In
amnbent upon her Government to es
tablish nn indisputable claim to an ade
quate share In the division of the spoils.
It Is rsoognlzed hero that thtw ta but
om way of Heln this, U. by cc
operatlasr with the Allies not merely 1
local action but ia tha nnml lanri ami
REPEATS ATTACK ON RUM.
Again tho evangelist scored church
pcoplo who fnll td enter 'the fight ngalnnt
the snloon.
"The man who truly prays 'Thy King
dom Come' cannot pass n snloon nnd not '
nsu nimscir tlio question, 'wnat can I uo
to get rid of thnt thing that Is blighting
the lives of thousands of young men, that
Is wrecking homes, nnd that Is drngglng
men and women down to hell?'" Sunday
said. "You cannot Play 'Thy Kingdom
Come' nnd then rush to the polls and voto
for tho thing thnt Is preventing thai king- ,
dom from coining. You ennnot pray 'Thy
Kingdom Come' and then go nnd do the
things that mako tho devil laugh. .
"Now for you preachers," ho continued.
"When a man prays 'Thy Kingdom Come'
he will rend tlir Rlblo to llnd out the
way to mako It como. Tho preacher who
prays 'Thy Kingdom Come' will not get
nil his rending from the now books or
from tho mngazlncs. Ho will not try to
pleaso the hlghbtows, nnd in pleasing
thorn miss tho mosses. Uo will not try
to tickle the pnlates of the giraffes nnd
then let tho Bhecp starve. Ho will put
his cookies on the lower shelf. Ho will
prench In language that tho commonest
laborer can understnnd."
There Is a strong possibility that
"Billy" Sunday will address tho New Jer
sey Legislature, in Trenton, or the Penn
sylvania Legislature, In Hnrrlsbuig, next
Monday, with the chances In favor of
tho formor.
While Sunday would mako no definite
announcement of hli plans this morning,
nnd was understood to bo undecided
whether ho would speak before cither
body, It was known that ho was giving
the Invitation from the New Jenoy As
sembly serious consideration nnd wns
also devoting much thought to tho pres
sure being brought by Collector of tho
Port William II. Perry nnd other promi
nent locnl optlonlsts for him to go to
Harrlsburg.
However, slnco tho New Jersey law
makers voted unanimously to Invito tho
ovangcllst to Trenton, ho Is naturally led
to give their invitation the must (.prions
thought at this time. Should tho Penn
sylvania lawmakers take like action, his
attitude would bo changed. SIiko ho Is
particularly Interested In driving evil nnd
"rum" from tho Keystone Stato nnd will
liao another opportunity to get nt Now
Jersey while In Paterson, it Is probablo
that he would neeppt tho Pennsylvania In
vitation at this time In prefeionco to tho
ono from Now Jersej.
Mr. Sunday will either preach on
"Barabbas" this afternoon, or will repeat
his sermon on "Thy Kingdom Come,"
which ho gave on January 24. He has not
decided on a subject for tonight's sermon.

hundreds of persons waiting to get inside
of the building. They waited until 5.3f)

tho evening services. So great was the
rush when tho thousands started to till
tho big auditorium that soveral women
fainted nnd ono woman had her wrist
dislocated when her hand was caught in
a dnor.
News that somo or thp ushers had
again been discourteous and used poor
judgment In taking care of persons hold
ing special passes, a number of which
had been Issued by Sunday, caused
"Hilly" much discomfort this morning.
As n result ho telephoned to Gcorgo C
Shane, oxecutivo secretary of tho Sunday
Campaign Committee, nnd requested him
to call tho usheis nnd doorkeepers to
gether and give them somo eound advice.
One man had a heated argument with
two ushers last night becauso thoy je
fuscd to permit his wlfo to sit in an
empty nurse's chair for a fow minutes
when sho felt 111. Ho was finally com

to havo tho men exercise tho greatest
