IL GABINETTO i
TRABALLANTE
Sebbene le dimissioni del Ministro
degli Esteri Tittoni, dimissioni an
nunzate dal "Giornale d'ltalia", non
abbiano avuto finora alcuna confer
ma, pure in tutti i circoli politici e
parlamentari della Capitale si insiste
nelle voci che il Ministero Nitti, a
causa della questione di Fiume, é
molto scosso e si ritiene molto vero
simile una completa crisi ministeria
le ovvero un largo rimpasto.
Secondo il giornale "Messaggero"
ed altri organi favorevoli all'on. Nit
ti, tali voci son premature e messe in
giro dagli avversari del Gabinetto.
Il "Messaggero" dice che il Mini
stro Nitti finora non poteva agire di
versamente da quando ha fatto altri
menti avrebbe messo l'ltalia allo
stesso livello di uno staterello balca
nico o al livello di qualche turbolen
ta repubblica dell'America Centrale.
Senza dubbio lo popolarità che il
Ministro Nitti era riuscito a guada
gnarsi durante gli ultimi due mesi,
con l'approvazione della Riforma e--
lettorale e con l'insuccesso dello scio
pero generale, é molto diminuita in
seguito al suo vivacissimo attacco
fatto nel Parlamento contro d'An
nunzio ed i suoi commilitoni.
1 Nazionalisti ed i sotenitori di
Orlando e Sonnino attaccano con vi
vace violenza il Ministro Nitti ed an
che parecchi dei sostenitori dello
stesso Nitti sono rimasti piuttosto sfar
vorevolmente impressionati per le
parole vivaci usate da Nitti nel de
nunziare l'atto di d'Annunzio e dei
suoi compagni.

Italy, without the help of any other

most astomuiiiig \le tory of the war,
that aside from this extensive front
she had also her part of the front in

50,(»oo men with large reserve forces
under command of Gen. Albricci,
who held several of the most strate

that seetion of the Freneh front from
the overwhelming attack of the Ger
mana in June, 93 S, also at Cliemin
des-Dames, and eaptured from the
Germans points of great strategy.
Even in the German newspapers
there was mention made of their
Italian foes in France as being sol

Besides, there was an Italian
Army Corps in Russia, also in Solon

Albania was eonquered entirely from
the Austrians by the Italian forces

the French and English censorship
that has kept the people bere in ig
norance of the difficult and vigorous
war w r aged by Italy among the high
peaks and deep precipices of the Alps

Is it stili the British and French cen

Adriatic? The French have alwavs
been very iealòus of the Italian peo

complicated to now go into detail.
Then the French have never gotten
