Senator A. B. Cummins, Iowa’s candidate for the honors, in a statement issued this week, figuratively tossed the gage of battle on Gopher soil and announced his willingness to rest his case with the Minnesota primary scheduled for March 14 of next year. Cummins is confident that Minne- sota voters will give him the prefer- ence over the other western entries. In making his statement he said: “I am perfectly willing to hazard my chances on Minnesota. If I am unable to win there I feel I may as well give up.” 3 His managers figure that a victory in the Gopher primary at that early stage will give him a tremendous ad- vantage in the elections held in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wis- consin, Nebraska and Oregon.

Paris, Oct. 29.—Aristide Bri- and, new premier, this afternoon completed the selection of a cabinet. 3 Paris, doomed. The Austro-German advance con- tinues remorselesslv. The Allies are preparing a tremendous attempt to stop the Teutonic forces enroute to Constantinople. They are planning to meet the Teutons in Bulgaria or Turkey. While the whereabouts of the Brit- ish reinforcements remains a secret, that they are of considerable size, may be judged from the fact that although General Sir Charles Monro, Oct.. 29.—Serbia seems The Mexicans escaped | recently appointed to command the Gallipoli operations, is already on the spot, the government has decided to send Major General Sir Bryan Mahon, who commanded the column which relieved Masekring in the South African war to co-operate with the French. : Worried Over Greece. Greater anxiety exists as to the at- titude of Greece. It is known that Austria, Germany and Bulgaria have seriously complained of. the con- tinued hospitality shown the allies at Salonika and one account goes so far as to say that the Greek govérnment has asked the allies to leave Greek territory. Against this is the quoted assurance given by the Greek min- ister at Paris to the French govern- ment that Greece has no intention of " commltung any . hostuo ot tuwnd the allied troops; | Except around Riga and nmmk there has been no heavy:fightingin - . the Russian arena. Cabinet Not Completed. The French cabinet, of which Rens Viviani was head, resigned yesterday and up to a late hour today, Aristide Briand, who was called upon to form a new cabinet, had not succeeded in completing his task. The subject of M. Viviani’s retire- ment from the premiership and the reorganization of the cabinet was dis- cussed at length by the political lead- . ers, but as no definite agreement could be reached, the chamber of deputies which was awaiting the ap- pearance of the ministry in the house adjourned in the afternoon without any announcement having been made. Changes Expected. There have been rumors since the resignation of Theopile Delcasse, the foreign minister, of important chan- ges of the cabinet, but the withdrawal of M. Viviani was in the nature of a surprise, as his ministry received a vote of confidence in the chamber re- cently by a very large majority. One explanation offered is that Premier Viviani has overtaxed his strength in his official position by his strenuous services in connection with the war. Aristide Briand, who held the of- fice of minister of justice in the late cabinet, and who was premier in 1913, in a statement respecting the changes in the cabinet and that he had received no official mandate, as there was no ministerial crisis. Italians Are Active. News of the great Italian offensive all along the Isonzo front, is being brought down by the wounded, and the men of the convoy which is es- corting Austrian prisoners to the rear. In three days over 3,000 pris- oners have passed through Udine, which gives some idea of the mag- nitude of the operations. Great Bombardment. All the soldiers agree that the ars tillery preparation preceding the of- fensive, last three dayu, ‘was |pp.l- ling. “If it was an inferno for us,” said a wounded gunner, “how much worse’ was it for those yonder whcu the shells burst ?”’ Thé Italian soldiers assert wlth pride that they are now reaping the benefits of a systematic destruction ot the Austrian observatory on the - mountain peak, mastered after” a- fierce struggle dufing the past month and the lack of which, they say, has ' greatly decreased the accuracy of the - aims of the Austrians.
