ITALY IS NO ALLY IN WAR
NOT WILLING TO FIGHT BATTLES
OF GERMANY-WANTs
TO DEVELOP.

Rome, March 31.-Notwithstandine
the oficial statements depicting the
relations of Italy with the other two
powers of the. triplice as a never-in-
terrupted state Of honeymoon, who
ever believes this blindly would be
very much astray and not have an
exact idea of the real situation of the
triple alliance or of the attitudes OF
its three members in the event OF
possible European complications.
The German chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, has come to
Rome expressly to see with his own
eyes and listen with his own ears to
what. is difficult to say in diplomatic
notes, even for a country which prid-
es herself on having had Machiavelli
as one of her sons.
Chancellor's Questions Evaded
The German, chancellor would have
liked to receive straight answers to
straight questions, but in this the
descendants of Machiavelli have prov
ed themselves worthy of their ances.
tor. He was made to understand
plainly, however, that Italy appre.
coates the triplice as a compact OF
powers imposing the maintenance OF
peace, and, from this point of view
and with the addition Of some claus
es better, protecting Italian interests
on the eastern frontier, in the Bal
kans, and in the far east, she may
even renew the arrangement in 1918
one year before its expiration.
Still, the tune changes when the
possibility Of common action is spok-
en- Of. Italy absolutely refuses tc
accept any risk in or for the sake
Of favoring German plans, and will
not agree to use, not only her forces,
but even her influence, in anything
in which the safeguarding of Italian
interests would not be one of the
supreme objects.
What the peninsula cares for above
all, DR.. Bethmann- Hollweg was told,
is the integrity of her territory and
the preservation of peace, for at least
fifty years to come, as it is only in
such a period Of time that she can
develop her resources and have the
whole country from north to south
ready for a great expansion. Until
then. the German chancellor was also
told, Germany may plan as many
wars as she likes against France
England or Russia, but, with or with
out the treaties of alliance, she must
not expect the active assistance OF
the young kingdom.
What is. then. the reason for hav-

AT WAR OVER. THE FOXES
HUNT CLUBS AND POULTRY FARM.
ERs AT DAGGER's POINT-COM-
PLAIN OF DEPREDATIONS.

London, March 31-Reference was
made by cable few days ago to al
antt-fox campaign by the poultr,
farmers of England.
All over England the fox is sacred
animal. Fox hunters spent some $25,
100000 year in preserving and hunt
Ing him. The hunt in country dis
trict is all powerful. Behind it are
the landowners and the wealthy. The
tenant who shoots a fox would find II
hard to get his lease renewed.
OF course, every hunt has its com.
pensation fund, and reynard's depre.
dations in the farmyard are supposed
to be paid for at market rates. A lit.
tie while ago an inquirer ascertained
that the average annual expenditure
in compensation of thirteen hunts was
$1,S50. But poultry keepers are not
satisfied.
Tney admit in some cases compen.
sation is made at full market rates
but complain that often attempts are
made to evade compensation or tc
bring pressure to bear on poultry
keepers to accept smaller rate ot
compensation than that to which they
are justly entitled. The weight and
kind of pressure that can he applied is
easily imagined. 1t would be bold
man who would get up and oppose the
might and majesty of the fox hunts
with the simple scheme of full com.
pensation or foxes shall be extermi-
mated"
Woman Is Protagonist
And, as a matter of fact, the protag.
onist of the movement is a woman
Miss Galbraith of Bagshot. Her poul.
try were raided thirteen times last
year, and now she Is determined that
something must be done.
"The great point made by the hunts
is that they benefit agriculture. They
buy horses, hay and oats from the
farmer and employ a large number OF
people. Miss Galbraith retorts that II
is the poorer farmers who go in most
extensively for poultry breeding and
that it is not from them that hunters
are bought. AS to hay and oats, they
can be sold just as we'll to men who
do not. need foxes and many of the
wealthier hunting men grow their own
supplies. Reverting to the loses caus-
ed by foxes, Miss Galbraith says:
"My own small farm could carry
three times the stock had it not been
repeatedly depleted by foxes. Two
hunts acknowledged that $4,000 birds
are killed every year in their coun-
tries.
We are told to lock up birds early

the fact that coal is being shipped

the miners and operators of the inter-

last month and no agreement was
reached. The operators say they are
we'll prepared for shutdown. The
railroads and large consumers have
been storing carload after carload OF
coal in all available places. No want
of fuel will be felt for at least sixty
days, according to the operators. They
further declare that unless the dig
gers return to work on the old basis
the mines will remain closed.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING NOW

The wise woman has begun to do her
Christmas shopping. She invariably
finds she has a better selection now
than she will have i'll three weeks. She
also finds the shops are not so crowded
and she can get bargains and more
dainty things than in the wild rush OF
shopping week before the holidays.
Il try said one woman, Ito make
Christmas a most happy occasion, and
have found that if | leave my shopping
to the last minute | am so worried that
the holidays lose much of their charm
and happiness for me. Accordingly, |
generally start in the fall to make my
plans for Christmas There are persons
for whom | make presents with my own
hands. These take time and much
thought, and by beginning early always
save myself much worriment and the fear
that | shall have to sit up nights to get
them finished There are persons for
whom l buy presents. By making my
selections early l have plenty of time to
study the want of each person carefully
and get much enjoyment out of it.
Christmas giving is a joy to me, and j
can take my time to work out my ideas
| have many weeks of thorough happi
ness. If | can carry out my plans III

WENONAH WINS
THE LAST GAME
Hard Fought Game Of Football Lost by the
Local Team with Honor Military
Cadets Strongest SchoIastics
PLEASANTVILLE BOYS CONGRATULATED

Tho Pleasantvillc football team played
their last game last Saturday when they
battled with the strong team of the

and the latter were unable to cross their
opponents goal. The Pleasantville team
worked very hard, but could not control
their opponents onslaught; the cadets
making touchdownsand goal kicks be-
fore they were through making the score
$40. This cannot be any reflection on
our representative team, as the academy
team is one of the strongest scholastic
teams known. The game i'll some i'll
stances was very hard fought and close
and the Pleasantville boys were congrat
alated upon making the game the most
interesting of the Wenonah's season.
As the Wenonah teams records viii
show they have scored in all "a points
TO their opponents II, the latter num-
ber being made on other grounds, 50
that the home team home ground goals
have not been crossed this season.
Owing to injuries received by some Of
the players there was no game Thanks
giving and the Wenonah will most likely
end the season.
w Adams, Stephenson, Zippler and
Wootton featured throughout the game
| for our team.
The Pleasantville team tied their first
game with Mays Landing byan 90 score,
won their second game from Riddle, OF
Atlantic City, by so score and lost the
third and last game to Wenonah, score
$40. There was also an unscheduled
practice game with Atlantic City High
School which the latter won on election
day.
