ONE EFFECr OF TlgE wAn SCARE

People on this side Of the Atlantic hear
great deal about the patriotism of
those Of the Old Countries. ana along
with 1t very much about the love they
have for the Father Land" but 1T mus
not be supposed that all OF them are
affected in that way. AS some evidence
Of this the fact is pointed 10 that last
week single ship brought to this coun-
try from Europe a colony OF 1,119 Ital-
ians, which is said TO be the largest
number Of Italians received here at one
time for many years. The belief is that
the dread Of a general war in Europe,
which would involve Italy has been the
principal cause OF so many OF that people
coming to the United States at this
time. Should the war cloud which now
hangs over Europe burst Italy, by the
very nature Of things. would have to
take part in it. and it Is suggested the
hurrying Of SO many Italians to this
country at the present time is due to
the fact that they desire 10 escape the
military duty which they would be called
upon to perform In the event Of an out
break. IF this Is the cause Of their
coming In such large numbers 1t is dis
cred.table in the extreme, and their
course is IN strong contrast with that
OF the Greeks. who are hlmryng home
from al! quarters Of the globe to aid
their country in the unequal struggle in
which Il may be engaged, in the event OF
a declaration Of war between that ma
ton and Turkey
