THE KING OF IrALY's MISSION.

THE KING OF ITALY'S MISSION.
The entire world is watching with
keen interest the outcome of the mis-
sion on which the young King Of italy
is engaged. He is proposing to the
Continental Powers that they join with
him in reducing their armies and max
ing collective fight against the COM
mon danger, American competition" In
his opinion it Is much the wiser plan
to abandon the policy of constantly
increasing their military forces with
the expectation of fighting each other
and join together their industrial forces
for the purpose of engaging in a COM
mercial war against the United States.
He has presented his views TO the
Car, and it is understood that he met
with some encouragement, and now he
is going to consult with the Emperor
William, from whom probably his mis-
sion will receive a setback. France is
not likely to view his plan with favor
and it is doubtful If Austria Hungary
will meet him half way. Every one
of these Powers is overburdened by
its great army, but no one of them is
willing. except Italy, to agree to re-
duction of it. Italy. is aware that the
burden of her army is greater than
she can carry with comfort and her
king very frankly says so.
Italy's army consists of 1853 684 men,
Frances of 51O,305, Austria Hungary's
of 350.SS7. Germanys of 60416S and
| Russa's of 100000. All these men are
drawn from the producing classes and
have to be sustained by these classes.
The chief idea of each of these nations
is the welfare and fighting capacity
of its army. Germany of course gives
more attention to commerce and the
industries than any other one of them;
still, even Germany groans under the
burden of her mighty army.
OF course the idea of the King of
Italy is a good one. 1t was born of
the difficulties which his army is fore
ing upon him, but it looks as if he
would have to find some way to over
come them other than the one which
he has proposed. Perhaps when the
other Powers are as hard pressed as
Italy is to support their respective ar
mics, there will be more of dispo-
sition to listen to him.
In the meantime the United States
is not in the least disturbed by the
King of Italys suggestion of a col
lective fight against American compe-
tition. They are able to take care
of themselves. They have almost I'M
limited resources and the American
people are so superior in everything
that goes to make up great com
mercial and industrial people that they
have no fear of any kind of competi-
ton that may be proposed.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Ond) says:
Mr.. Olney is none too old for the
presidency. In fact, there are quite
a number of well-meaning citizens who
think man should reach a mature
age before he aspires to that high of
fee"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: There doesn't appear to be
anything in the line of a public berth
that will just fit Senator McLaurin.
But most anything that removes him
from South Carolina would appear to
suit the South Carolinians."
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: Gen. Bradley T. John
son says the South is likely to go Re-
publican this fall. There is still
chance for somebody to get into the
papers by proclaiming that the Demo-
Gratis will sweep New England in No.
vember."
The Hartford Times (Dem.) says:
1.-THE failure of the Republican cam
paign textbook to allude to Cuban
reciprocity or tariff revision is not
surprising. What can any Republican
say on those questions? The best
thing the Republican spellbinders can
do is to let those matters entirely
alone.'
The Philadelphia Record Dem)
says: Porto Ricans and Filipinos
continue to be made the shuttlecocks
of the departments. The Secretary of
State has just decided that these. our
adjuncts, are entitled to passports the
same as other American citizens. Now
comes the Secretary of the Treasury
with decision that the islanders are
foreigners, and must pay head money
and comply with all the requirements
OF the immigration laws the same as
other aliens. Suppose a Porto Rican,
armed with an American passport,
should arrive in the United States:
would our treasury officials recognize
the force Of the document. or would
they treat IL with less respect than the

Private John Allen was strolling
down Pennsylvania avenue the other
day says the Washington Times, when
he passed lamp post to which was
attached a person who had imbibed not
wisely but too well. The man was
bowed over and holding on with both
hands. If he had stepped a little near
er he could have leaned his body
against it, but apparently he did not
dare make the step for fear of losing
his balance. AS Mr.. Allen approach

and hailed him. Mr.. Allen stopped.

TUFTS in, lunkhead, a ninnyhammel,
a nincompoop.-From the Slang Die
tionary.
You're a lobster!" said Joseph Sic
ben, addressing G. H. Thiel, of the
Thiel Detective Agency, says the Chi
cago Journal.
And nov Mr.. Thiel has sued Mr..
Sieben for $4,000 damages, averring
that it is worth that comfortable for
tune to be called such a terrible name
Suit has been filed in the Circuit
Court, and the judge will be called
upon in September to decide just what
the term lobster" as applied to the
human species, means.
Joseph Sieben is secretary of the
Mutual Benefit and Aid Society in the
Ashland block He is a powerful ath-
lete and is devoted to his bicycle.
Mr.. Thiel doesn't take back seat
himself when it comes to bicycles.
Thursday he was wheeling through
Lincoln Park when he met a boy, like
sudden and unexpected, and the boy
got the worst of it.
At this juncture Secretary Sieben
came gliding along on his wheel. He
says he saw Mr.. Thiel in the act of
riding away, while the boy lay injured
on the ground.
Hey, there" called Mr.. Sieben.
AS Mr. Thiel did not stop, Mr.. Sic
ben gave chase and caught the detec-
tive.
You were on the wrong side of the
road" said Mr.. Sieben.
What business is it of yours?' in
quired Mr.. Thiel
You're a lobster!" returned Mr. Sic
ben.
The insurance man insisted on TAX
ing the detective to the Larrabee
Street Police Station, in which enter
prise ne was finally assisted by a po-
liceman.
Lieut.. Max Heidelmeier attempted
diplomatic adjustment of the difficulty,
but failed. Even Max had to admit that
to be called a lobster was indeed an
awful thing. But in the meantime the
injured boy escaped.
Friday morning Detective Thiel
awoke with a lobster taste in his
mouth. He smelled lobster. He couldn't
see anything but Holsters all around
him. When he went to breakfast he
said to the hired girl. II suppose you
serve lobster here, too?'
Yes, sir" said the girl meekly,
what will you have?"
This was too much. He hurried over
to his attorney in the Womans Tenn
pie. First he swore out a warrant
charging Mr.. Sieben with having call
ed him a lobster. Then he told the law
yer to begin the damage suit.
Mr.. Sieben was arrested and taken
before Justice Hall. He says that
while in court Detective Thiel made
swipe at him, but hit the bailiff a swat
in the jaw.
Il took off my glasses and was ready
to fight him." said Mr.. Sieben, "but
they wouldn't let us"
The matter wasn't disposed of; not
by any means. Being called a lobster
couldn't be disposed of in a justice
court.
The praecipe has been filed in the
Circuit Court
Il did call him a lobster" declared
Mr.. Sieben, as he sat in his office in
bicycle costume. Yes, l called him a
lobster, and 1 meant it. He was a lob
ster. l am not afraid of him, even if
he is trying to make me some trou-
ble"

THE A. c. L. AND SAVANNAH.

No doubt the Retail Merchants As
sociation would have been more
prompt in protesting against the re-
moVal by the Atlantic Coast Line of its
general offices from this city if they had
understood that it would effect the in
terests of the city so greatly. They in
ferred from statements that were made
from time to time that Savannah
would lose but comparatively few citi-
zens by the consolidation of the Plant
System with the Atlantic Coast Line,
and, hence, they saw no reason for
protesting. 1t may be that their pro-
test would have had no effect if they
had made it. but they would have had
the satisfaction of knowing that they
did what they could for their city
When it became known how great the
number of employees was that had been
taken from the city there was natur-
ally a great deal of alarm among the
retail business men. The loss of these
men and their families meant a loss
to them of good many thousands of
dollars a year.
And now there are rumors that the
shops here are to be abandoned or re-
moved. 1t is not known of course that
there is any foundation for them.
There probably isn't: Still, they create
uneasiness, and if there Is no foun-
dation for them they ought to be set
at rest at once by the highest au-
thority of the Atlantic Coast Line. Sa.
vannah is the most important BUSH
ness point of the system and is entitled
to sufficient consideration to justify
her business men in expecting infor-
nation about a matter which so pro-
foundry affects their interests.
We do not of course know whether
or not the Acting Mayor will think it
advisable to comply with the request
of the committee of the Retail Mer-
chants Association to call a mass
meeting of merchants and business
men for the purpose of requesting that
the general offices of the Atlantic
Coast Line be established here and to
protest against the removal of the
shops, If such removal is contemplate
ed. but we assume that he will
The Atlantic Coast Line of course is
simply doing what it thinks is for it's
best interests. 1t has no hostility to
Savannah. and if the fact that it's pol
icy respecting employees and shops is
hurtful to the city 1t may consent to
change it. The proposed request and
protest can do no harm if made in the
proper spirit. and may do good.

The Indianapolis Journal, a Repub-
lican newspaper has taken occasion
to puncture the claim of the beet SUI
gar congressman, made on several oc-
casions in Congress, that the growing
of sugar beets has had wonderful de-
velopment in this county. The Jour
nal says that this years beet crop
covers only 100000 acres, while 1920. 900
acres in Indiana alone are devoted TO
corn. In stony Massachusetts,, which
is certainly not famous for its farms.
there is corn acreage which exceeds
the sugar beat acreage of every state
except two. And yet the 26O, O00-acre
Interest has proven itself suficlently
strong to dominate the policy of the

The pension roll resulting from the
Civil War is rapidly approaching the
100000 mark which it will probably
reach before next Christmas. Officials
of the pension bureau assert that the
responsibility for this enormous list
does not rest with the bureau. but with
Congress, the last term of which
passed 1,1OO special pension bills and
two general acts which are expected
to add 10000 names to the already
swollen rolls. 1t is estimated at the
bureau that, beginning next year, the
rolls must show decrease. by reason
of deaths among the pensioners; but
was not something of the sort predict

RS are likely to prove about as bad

The Kansas City Star, waging war
against weeds, says: Weeds are not
only noxious in themselves, but they
beget other evils. They foster sloven-
illness. A big patch of weeds in va
cant lot or ally creates an Irresistible
desire in the careless domestic to
throw old tin cans among them, to
empty among their concealing leaves
the garbage that should be carted
away. Such things have the germs
of contagion and death. Besides, they
are nasty, and they are part of the
weed system" What is true of the hus-
ting Western town is true also of
other places. Savannah included. We
have not a great many weeds here,
comparatively speaking, but even a
few are too many.
