ITALIAN WARSHIP DAMAGED IN ADRIATIC FIGHT
LORD FISHER ADVOCATES BIG
RAID BY BIG WARSHIPS
LONDON, May 26.—The shakeup in
the Cabinet bids fair to develop some
startling changes in the governmental
conduct of the war as it is seemingly
indicated that the more radically in
clined are rapidly assuming the leader
ship. It is understood that the pri
mary cause of the friction recently de
veloped between the administrative
heads and the various otfieials in active
charge of the war operations of the
Kmpire has resulted largely from the
inclination of the former to proceed
with excessive caution in opposition to
the desire of the military and naval of
ficers who are inclined to press mat
ters with greater vigor. The most pro
minent exponent of vigorous action.
Lord Fisher, advocates a sweeping raid
of the big warships of the fleet against
the German ports along the North cS;i
coast and present indications point
that he may soon be in a position to
carry out his plans.

the Germans have failed to abide by
their expressed intention of refraining
from attack on neutral vessels.
