RELATIVE FIGHTING STRENGTH.

RELATIVE FIGHTING STRENGTH.
An analysis of the present naval and
military power of Italy and Turkey
discloses the enormous advantage OF
the Italians, at least in actual organl-
cation The Italian navy generally is
ranked as fifth among the maritime
nations with eleven battleships, sew
en- armored cruisers, twenty-nine un-
armored cruisers and gunboats, thirty
six torpedo boats, thirty-six destroyers
and twenty-five submarines. Turkey
has five out-of-date battleships, two
armored cruisers, five unarmored
cruisers, nineteen torpedo boats and
ten destroyers. Four more Italian bat
tleships are now nearing completion.
The standing army of Italy numbers
about 225000 men and $4,000 officers.
The Turkish arm, scattered over
great territory in Europe and Asia,
may number over 100000, but in many
sections is not possessed of modern
equipment and tactics. Her reserves
would bring the total to 100000
while Italy's reserves would make a
showing of at least 100000 fighting
men

RlENzps ADDRESS TO THE Ro.
MANS

An Italian patriot. He headed
revolution at Rome, which overthrow
the power of the aristocracy. and
placed him at the head of the munich
pality under the title Of Tribune of
the people. He became intoxicated
with success, and was ultimately kill
ed in riot, which his conduct pro-
voked on Oct s, 1854.
Friends!
come not here to talk. Ye know too
we'll
The story of our thraldom. We are
slaves!
The bright sun rises to his course,
and lights
A race of slaves! He sets, and his last
beam
Falls on slave; not such as, swept
along
BY the full tide of power, the con-
queror leads
To crimson glory and undying fame
But base, ignoble slaves!-slaves to
a horde
OF petty tyrants, feudal despots;
lords,
Rich in some dozen paltry villages;
Strong in some hundred spearmen;
only great
In that strange spell-a name! Each
hour, dark fraud,
Or open rapine, or protected muir
der,
Cry out against them. But this very
day,
AN honest man, my neighbor, there
he stands
Was struck-struck like dog, by
one who wore
The badge OF Orsini. because, for
sooth,
He tossed not high his ready cap in
air,
Nor lifted up his voice in servile
shouts,
At sight of that great ruffian!
Yet, this is Rome,
That sat on her seven hills, and from
her throne
OF beauty ruled the world! Yet W,
are Romans.
Why, in that elder day, to be Re
man
Was greater than King, And ono
again
Hear me, We walls. that echoed to tn
tread
OF either Brutus.-once again
swear
The Eternal City shall be free,

UNITED STATES LEADS EUROPE.

Thomas A. Edison, the great invent
or, has just returned from a trip
abroad during which he toured by
automobile through France, Germany
and Switzerland. While full of praise
for the methods ard progress of the
big European powers, he let it be
known on his arrival in New York that
none of the foreign countries, in his
estimation, could approach the United
States at any angle of human en-
deavor. He took pains. however, to
make it clear that this country Is de-
ficient when it comes to good roads,
and the inventor had chance to
study the highways of France, be-
cause he made tour of more than
1000 miles through the French Re
public. He said:
"Our party toured Germany, France
and Switzerland by auto, and / had
opportunity to inspect the big works
in the towns which we touched.

and | was delighted to run across an
old associate of mine there in charge

there?"
"Ah, Those alrships! Well, the air
ship of today is So per cent man and
Is per cent machine. This percentage
must be reversed, and the greater bur
den put on the machine rather than
on the man.
Mr.. Edison was asked IL he saw
any signs of war over there, and he
responded that he observed plenty of
soldiers and artillery, but that the
folk over there had habit of fortify-
ing every little town, and yet In spite
of very bellicose appearances the In
yentor declared that he could not de.
itect any signs of hostilities.
The inventor seems to be more
amused than put out by the reports
that the Germans were criticising him
for having said the commercial classes
of Germany were more dishonest than
those of England.
