It seems probable that the new Prime Minister will be

Signor Boselli, who is consulting with various leaders. The Times corre- spondent says that he would unite more parties in the Chamber than any other man. He is seventy-eight years of age, but is a man of scarcely impaired strength. It was he who proposed the law in May, 1915, conferring full powers on the Government in the event of war. Signor Bissolati, the leader of the Democratic Alliance, will probably join the Cabinet. The Giolittians are as anxious as any other party that the new Government 'should prove the absolute solidarity of Italy with the Allied cause. Thus there is nothing to look for but good as a result of the crisis.
