Rome, May -c.-The deeision of King Victor Emanuel and (lie imlebiiers of the ministry not to take 1)ar1 in (lie unveiling of the Garibaldi 3m1o3nment at Quarto Sant Qanaa Was commented on today as a step of very great sig nilleance. The presence of his ma Jesty at the uinlveling had )ec(omile to be regarded as virtually tantamount to a declaration of war. Now (le change in plians is regalrd ed as meaning that Italy's partielpa lion in wai again has beeni postponed. Efforts to reach an agreement may ultimately lie successful. Tle (ecision was annoinced after the cabinet meeting, as follows: "Inl view of (he international situation, the king and his cabinet cannot. leave lie capital to take part in the unveiling of the Garibaldi monument." Abandonment of the plans is be. lieved to have resulted from the visit of Prince von Bucow to Baron sans mo Sunday night. The details of this conference are supposed to have been presented at a hurriedly called meet ing of the cabinet. Ijnmediately af ter the cabinet meeting closed, Baron Sansmo went to -the German consul ate, where he made a verbal presenta tion of the action of the cabinet. if you dou1't believe an oil stove will cook, jdstcegli at our stere Thqrsday afternoon anld iwe wJ) pg9 .. a .3"1y o F- *WE NEED $.25,000 CASH' In the Next 30 Days We need you and your money to help us out.
