A strong National Cabinet under Signor Bosch has been formed

In Italy, and the orisis has thus passed, leaving the country in a better position than before to play its part in the war. Signor Bissolati, the well-known Reformist Socialist, and the most able and powerful critic of the late Government, joins the Cabinet as Political Commissioner for War Services, Signor Orlando is Minister of the Interior, and Baron Sonnino remains at the Foreign Office. Three new Ministries have been created, and there are three Ministers without portfolios. Altogether, the Government is nearly as representative of the nation as it is possible for a Government to be. The Cabinet is very large, but it is said that there will be an inner Executive Committee to conduct the war.
