that King Victor Emmanuel had declined to
accept the resignation or Premier Balandra.

Although It was made known unofficially
last night that Hlgnor Salandra would re-
main al the head or the government this
announcement received today with great
demonstration and rejoicing anil manifests
lions In ravor or war.
Thr deity in making the official an-
nouncement Is said to have been due to
the efforts to bring about closer co-operation

meaning that Italy has derided upon war.

When the soldiers it ihe barrtrks at Cea-
tro pretorio learned that Premier Salandra
was to remain In power they began an en-
thusiastic demonstration In favor of war.
The excitement at Milan subsided on

without serious Incident although there

Similar demonstrations occurred it Flor-
