i ANGUS ITALIAN TRIAL
INTERESTS NEW YORK DAGOES

The trial of Enrico Alfano, the lead
er. n of thirty other members of
the notorious Neapolitan Camorra,
which is to begin in Italy a week hence
is awaited with great interest by New
York Italians. According to reports
received here, the trial is expected to
drag through six months and will be
bitterly contested by both the sides.
The Camorrists are said to have I'M
limited funds for defense and have
employed some Of the best legal talent
in Italy. That thousands of dollars
have been contributed to the defense
fund by New York Italians is practi-
cally certain. Alfonso. the Camorra
chief, fled to New York in 1907 and
was arrested by Detective Petrosino.
IT 1909 Petrosino was assassinated in
Palermo, Italy, where he had gone to
study the methods of Italian crimi-
nails. 1t is believed that the mystery
of Petrosino's murder may be dissi-
pated by the coming trial.

The Fighting Qualities of Militia.

We~llington's troops at Waterloo
were largely militia; the American
forces in the Revolution included
many regiments of militia. The bat
tie of New Orleans was won by siti-
zen levies, many members of which
had never seen a foreign enemy.
The armies in the early part of the
Civil War or both the Union and Con-
federate sides were largely militia, and
the gradual transformation from the
original militia organization to subse-
quent commands famous in the mar
ratives of Gettysburg n other me-
morable engagements is one of the
most interesting features of our war
history. The National Guard has the
material! it is for the United States
and the states to sec that the material
Is put to effective uses, and that OBJ
solete methods shall give way to a
modern progressive system, with
schools for the training of officers,
fair treatment for the enlisted men,
and due encouragement of marks
manship-a qualification in which
Americans have been foremost on land
and sea, and in which they cannot
afford to fall behind in this age OF
universal preparation for war, which,
it. is to be hoped, may never come

Militant and Militant Nations.

China is not the only example of a
nation or state which has paid dearly
for neglecting the military art. In
all ages of the world history has
taught the same lesson. The people
hardened to war have triumphed over
those who devoted themselves wholly
to peaceful pursuits. The military
machine has rolled like a juggernaut
over communities whose chief con-
Germ was with commerce, luxury ana
learning. Sparta vanquished Athens,
and degenerate Hellas was absorbed
by Rome. Rome itself fell down
when the Romans ceased to be their
own defenders. Modern history has
witnessed no change in the relative
position Of militant and non-militant
nations. The great powers of Eu-
rope are keyed up to the highest
point OF warlike efficiency because
they know and feel that they cannot
otherwise maintain their prestige and
command respect for their rights. The
German kaiser and the late King Ed
ward have been listened to with re-
spect and approval when they de-
clared themselves champions of uni
versal peace because the former had
behind him the most formidable ar
my n the latter the most formidable
navy in the world. Without that ar
my and that navy their words would
have made but little impression.
War is a terrible evil, but from its
ensanguined fields spring forth the
flower of liberty, and the nation that
would be free must eve be prepared
for the sacrifices that war entails.
The millennium of universal peace
will not come at the touch of Mr..
C~arnegie's golden wand. That It will
come eventually all right-minded men
hope and believe and pray. Mean
time it is both right n duty to fol-
low the injunction of the hard-head-
ed Puritan warrior to Put your trust
in God and keep your powder dry!"
Henry Mann, in March Columbian.

Repeats Emphatic Denial.

Especial Cable to The Tunes D!spatoh.l
London, November 11.-Count Gaze
tano Manzoni, counselor of the Italian
embassy in London, said to The Times.
Dispatch correspondent tonight:
What more can we say than Pc
peat tho categorical denials of Signor
Giolitti, our premier and of General
Caneva regarding the calumnious re-
ports of the Italian conduct of the
Tripolitan war? To every man with
his eyes open they ought to be sufn-
Client justification of any action we
have taken.
I'VE have from time to time issued
statements denying emphatical!y tho
grossest OF the charges against the
Italian troops, and we have done SO
only on the authority OF General
Caneva, who is on the spot. or OF
Signor Giolitti, with whom the general
communicates How can we know
or say moro than the commander in
the field? Take for example the alle-
cation by Reuters correspondent that
General Caneva had issued orders for
the indiscriminate repression of rebels,
that General Caneva first ordered that
troops commanded by officers only
should take part in the punishment,
that afterward he changed his orders
and that then soldiers themselves gave
punishment at will. That statement"
said Count Manzoni, struggling his
shoulders. what can ono say? It is
equal to all the others to which a
categorical denial has been given by
Caneva and G,olitti on the subject
of the alleged atrocities.

STATE CONTROL OF ROADS.
Why a Kansas County's Surveyor Pa
vors a Uniform System.

vors Uniform System.
The state control of roads in order
to bring about uniformity and elimi-
nate the offices that have to do with
road building is advocated by j. NJ.
Lindsay. county surveyor of Wyan-
dotte county, Kan. Mr.. Lindsay would
abolish the office of county engineer
and have a resident state engineer ap-
pointed either by the state highway
engineer or a good roads commission.
AS continuation of the plan the
township road overseer would be I'M
der the control of the resident engi-
neer. and the result, Mr.. Lindsay
says. would be a uniformity of roads
aud bridges.
Suppose" Mr.. Lindsay said, that
ty should erect a concrete bridge and
on the same road in the next county a
cheap tin affair is erected. In few
years the cheap bridge may wear out.
and a heavily loaded wagon or a
thrashing machine would be compel
troll this condition would not arise, as
the plans for bridges would be more
or less uniform. Not that all bridges
would necessarily be concrete. but the
capacity and condition of every bridge
In the state would be known by every
resident engineer. If the survey OF
every county road were made in con-
formity with roads in adjoining coun-
ties the ultimate result would be a
road straight across the state at no
unusual cost
"This would be the case If surveys
for all generally Travelled roads were
fled in the office of the state highway
engineer or with a good roads COM
mission. Then. too. the road boss
who insists upon his own ideas OF
road building. whether they are right
or wrong. would be eliminated. He
would be under the direction OF q
competent engineer. and his bit OF
road would receive the same attention
as any other road in the state"
Mr.. Lindsay is one of the three
members of committee appointed by
the Kansas Engineering society to
procure the passage OF good roads
laws in the Kansas legislature next
winter. He is endeavoring to get the
support OF the society for state con-
troll of highways.
