ITALY WOULD HOLD
 TRIPLE ALLIANCE
By CLEMENT J. BARRETT

Rome, April 2O.-(Special) )-There will. be no break in the triple alliance, so far as Italy is concerned The recent visit of the German Kaiser has straightened out the misunderstanding which have un- doubtedly existed since the beginning of the Tripon campaign. It Is further un- derstood that the Kaiser has undertaken to do all in his power to bring Turkey to an agreement which will end the war One story is that the famous American finaneier. J. P. Morgan, close personal friend of both the Kaiser and the King of Italy and who is persona grata with the sublime porte, is to be the intermediary who will bring the warning powers to- gether. How much truth there may be in this report it would be hard to say but there certainly Is nothing improbable about it.
 The death of a woman journalist who wrote under the name of Mantea, has re- called the incidents of a strangely roman tic career. She was the daughter of a Pedmontese officer named Sobroro While studying at Turin She fell in love with a man who posed as a person of title and claimed to be a high officer at Honolulu. She married him and accompanied him 10 his native land, where she discovered that he was only the son of a carpenter. Ow- ing to his bad treatment of her. Slgnor Sobrera escaped with her child to Cali fornia and finally returned to Italy where she brought a successful suit for the an- nulment of her marriage.
 "Mantea' was a woman of brilliant att tainments and great refinement. Amongst Italian lady journalists and writers she occupies place apart. She was the high prestess of the complicated mysteries of fashionable life. the mistress of manners. From her the gilded youth of today learned how to tie their crayats. and the ladies who aspired to presentation at court were initiated by her into the abstruse details of the latest 'coffures" and tolettes. Her principal work was a modernization of the manual for courtiers written in the 18th century by the celebrated human ist, Monsgnor Della Casa, for the use of the fashionable world Of his time.
 mechanics engaged in the Turin motor car industry has collapsed. The employees have forfeited the benefits gained under the concordat at che close of a similar struggle five years ago. and the Metal Workers Syndicate is the poorer by $500,- GOO.
 Owing to a variety of causes the palmy days of this once staple industry of Pied mont seem to be over and the manufac- turers made it clear that. being unable to concede the new demands for increased pay they would have to close their fac tories. The '2500 workmen. who were on the verge of starvation. thereupon sur rendered internationally.

Child Culture

At Sixty-third street and Second ave- nue, north. the city of Birmingham is engaged in child culture, and it is no ex- pertinent. It is endeavoring to develop the individual so that he may take his proper place as a citizen of this municipality and one who must become unit in the commonwealth of Alabama. Yet the city of Birmingham designs and proposes to put two blocks away a plant to which shall be brought the accumulated garbage of what were once three distinct munich palities, thereby forcing on helpless little childhood conditions that may rob them of health. limit their possibilities for use fitness and their capacity for earning a livelihood. and perhaps set their feet in the road to moral destruction. We say passionately and earnestly out of a heart that yearns to see the little child consid- cred in the light of the chiefest asset of the nation, where t rightly belongs, do not they mean more to the nation than better cotton and better cattle?

Mrs. Thompson of Wood lawn Calls Attention to
 Unfortunate Location
ENDANGER HEALTH
 OF THE CHILDREN
Would Be Within Two Blocks of K en- .nedy School Where Hundreds of Children Must Go
 Every Day
Fly MRS. R. D. THOMPSON

Woodlawn is still agitated over the con- tinued maintenance by the city of the dumping ground at Sixty-third street and Fifth avenue, north, and considers the proposed crematory by no means a solu- tion of the problem, but a perpetuation, and objection to 1t is growing in mo- mentum daily.
 Crematories must exist and we believe in them, but we think Birmingham should be as considerate of us as of her im- mediate locality and put the proposed crematory in an Isolated district.
 The crematory in Birmingham is mile from any residences whatever except, as we remember it, about three or four negro cabins, and the erematory in Jackson, Miss, after which the proposed crema- tory is to be patterned, is situated in the edge of Pearl river swamp, and not just two blocks from State street, 'the best resident section of the city," as has been stated here.
 Economies, together with every law of health, justice and humanity, will be vio- lated when a crematory is erected two blocks from a public senool and in a neighborhood thickly settled with people, be they white or black.
 If the city of Birmingham was experi- menting in cotton at the corner of Sixty third street and Second avenue, north, the present site of the Kennedy school, would 1t consider for one instant bringing cotton infected with the Mexican boil weevil from East Lake and Avondale to be destroyed at Sixty-third street and Fifth avenue. north, the site of the pro- posed crematory? If the city of Birming- ham were experimenting with the 'red steer or muly cow" would it bring from any territory animals infected with the Texas tick and destroy them just two blocks away? Or if the city wished to give to the world a fine breed of hogs would 1t bring from anywhere, or permit anyone else to bring, hogs infected with cholera to be destroyed in the very shadow of the experiment station? The city of Birmingham would ooinsider per- son insane who suggested such a thing.
