"Weakness is Treason " General Cadorna Warns Italian People

ROME, Sept. 18. The Popolo Romano explains that Italy is the last of all the war countries that should be affected by the food shortage, adding: "Although poorer than England and because the protracted war has brought suffering to the people Italy should not let her troubles appear too much on the surface no attempt political demonstrations or violence." The principal excuse for the present unrest being the bread shortage, the newspaper asserts that the government proposes to issue bread cards on October 11, limiting the individual consumption to a half pound daily since the wheat harvest wa3 short 10 million quintals. The recent attacks on the ministry were based on the Turin incidents, the government being charged with negligence in not. having foreseen the shortage and forced Italian farmers to produce more wheat, but it appears, says the paper, that the shortage was due to the lack of workmen in the field. . Pacifists Seize Excuse. However, the Socialists and the Austro-German propagandists and peace parties seized on the situation in the hope of causing more disturbances among the civil population. Parliament, when it meets in midOctober, according to the Giornale d'ltalia, is expected to pass energetic measures to repress international sabotage, an instance of which was the loss of a shipload of wheat off Civita Vecchia due to improper means of unloading. .

financial embarrassment of Premier Tuan Chi-jui and steadied the political situation in the north. Within two months President Feng Kwo-chang is expected to be able to convene a provisional national council, or legislative body, composed of five members from each province. This makeshift organization will arrange for an election and the drafting of a permanent constitution.

American vacant lot crops this year are valued at $350,000,000.

MAYR'S Wonderful Remedy for STOMACH TROUBLE One dose convinces. QUIGLEY DRUG STORES find other reliable druggists.

Evidence of a new attitude of the ministry toward internal disturbances is shown in General Cadorna's message to a political group in Milan, this being the first reference by the general on civil , affairs since the war. The message follows: "Any weakness behind the lines at this moment will be considered treason. We are all armed now with the will to conquer and victory is at hand. All classes and all parties must remember that Italy knows only one way." . . .
