STORK TO
 VISIT ITALY

Rome, Aug. 16.-Great interest has been aroused in Rome and throughout Italy by the official announcement that the fourth child will be born to the royal family within the next month or two. Queen Helena, who is the daughter of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, is highly popular with the Italian people. She became the queen of King Victor Emanuel III in 1896, and the first child, Yolanda Mar gherita, was born June 1, 1901.
 Seldom before in the history of the world had such elaborate prepara- tions been made to welcome a babe as heralded the coming of the Italian royalty's first born. The pOpulace was disappointed in that the youngster was a girl, and so ineligible to the throne, but celebrated with none the less hi larity. Rome, to observe the birth of the first royal child born within the gates of the Eteranl City since the days of the Caesars, presented the king and queen with a magnificent cradle, designed by Monteverde, the most eminent sculptor of the day This cradle will be used for the prospective little prince or princess.
 As work of art, the production of Monteverde is probably the most elaborate cradle ever built. A figure of Rome, over six feet in height, stands at the head, with a royal crown in her hand, and the wolf of the cap ital attendant At the foot rises the genius of the house of Savoy, a fe- male figure with wings distended as though to protect the child. The cradle istelf, elliptical in form, swings between two figures.
 Good Italian mothers have been scandalized in the past by Queen Helena's treatment of her babes She has steadfastly disregarded the GUS tom which swaddleS the 'bambinO' of the peninsula in linen bands wrapped round and round it's legs, while gor- geOuS wet nurses dressed all in one color, with heads decorated with huge bows of ribbons to match the gown, are considered indispensable append ages to the baby. The queens babies have had both their arms and legs free. while their wet nurse has been the queen herself. When the ladies of the royal household have protested at her pronounced resolve, Queen Helena delivered this dictum: Il am sorry, but baby legs were made to kick with, and my babes shall have perfect freedom.
 According to the court circular, the accouchement of Queen Helena is ex- pected to take place next month or not later than October

"REDS" BEGIN
 THEIR CAMPAIGN

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Plans for an en- thusiastic campaign, to extend through the fall and winter, are now being completed at the national headquar- ters of the Socialist party. The ac- quittal of Haywood and the success of the English Socialists in parliament tary elections has put new life into the propaganda From all over the country demands are pouring in for lecturers, and the great increase in the financial receipts will make it possible to supply the demand Scores of the brightest men and wo- men in the party have been selected for this work and will start out in the next few weeks to spread the glad tidings of social revolution through out the length and breadth of the land. Michigan, Wisconsin and other northern states will be the scene of the first onslaught of the agitators, and the propaganda will be gradually
 extended until every voter in the country has learned what he must do to be saved.
 At the office of the national officers it was stated that William Haywood would almost certainly be nominated for the presidency, and the predic- tion was made that he would receive the largest vote ever cast for third party candidate. J. Mahlon Barnes.
 national secretary of the Socialist party, is in charge of the plans for the campaign.
