The Italian invasion of Austria,

sulted thus far in the occupation of
more than twice as much territory as
was offered by Austria as the price
of Italy's neutrality. A communica

Cabinet Crisis Disrupts Solidarity of

Rcslon Personal Differences the
Cause of Trouble.
WASHINGTON, dune lib Differ
ences between (Icncral Carranza nnd
General Obrcgon, his principal com-
innnder; dissensions in the Carranza
cabinet nnd Onrrnnzu's removal of
his headquarters to the isolated safe
ty of the fortress of San Juan de
Uloa in the harbor of Vera Cruz all
reported to Washington today,
brought the Mexican situation into a
new focus.
Official dispatches to tho state
department say these developments
threaten solidarity of the Carranza
movement.
Occupation of Mexico City bv Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales and Carranza
troops has been postponed pending
tliu cabinet reorganization.
Affects .'Mexican l'rohlcm
Officials here have no complete in
dication of the meaning of the cab
inet crisis, but it is said it may have
an important effect on the Mexican
problem as n whole.
latest advices were that four of
the cabinet of eight had resigned and
that Obrcgon had insisted in a tele
gram to Carranza Unit they be re
tained and that a fifth member, the
minister of public instruction, be dis
missed. A newspaper article by the
latter, attacking some of his col
leagues in tho cabinet, led to the
break. Raphael Zubamn, minister of
the interior; Kscudero Verdugo, min
ister of justice; Luis Cabrera, minis
ter of finance, and Jesus Uerta, min
ister of foreign affairs, decided to
stand together and submitted their
resignations.
It is now reported that in the re
organization Carranza planned to re
tain Cabrera. If he dismisses the
other three, it is said, he faces a pos
sible break with Obrcgon and other
commanders who arc sympathetic
with them.
Differences Personal
Officials hero aro concluded to
know whother iiostions of policy arc
involved, but nil information so far
indicates personal differences.
President Wilson intends to wait
several weeks for the situation to
shape itself more (dearly before any
definite steps are taken in the new
policy announced in his recent state
ment to the factions. Ho wnuts to
see u coalitaiou of tho various
branches of the original constitution

will he accorded until a government
is set up which gives promise of sta
bility. S

months' tour of Episcopal visitation

of tho Kuropoan war, martial law

"This war," said the bishop, "Is
