Premier Answers Critics

Rome. December 1S.-In a brilliant speech, which was frequently interrupted by outbursts of applause, Marquis Di San Guiiano, the foreign minister, to- day replied in the chamber of deputies to those who criticised the renewal of the triple alliance.
 The minister euloeized the triple al- lance, which, he said, had been for a0 years the strongest guarantee of thepe&ee of the whole of Europe. It had permitted Italy to achieve wonderful progress. de- spite innumerabe difficulties, both in. ternal and external, and it was one Of the principal factors in great economic ad- vancenlent and by more closely welding the interests of the civilized world and making them more inter-depen6enL it constituted a new and powerful obstacle to a great war not determined by ahe supreme necessities of national existence and dignity.
 1t was eminently able. he continued. 70 guarantee the interests of three nations party to it in the Balkans, but it must give assurance to them of mutual sup port, not only at the present time but in the future. Eacn ally must be of the conviction tha. it could depend on the support tomorrow of the others in return for what it did for those others today. That must be an essential ale- ment in the efficacy of the alliance. Therefore, he maintained. the experience of 90 years and the exigences of the present situation justified the renewal of the triple alliance.
 On Albanian Question
 Turning to it's bearing on the Albanian question the foreign minister said that Italy and Austria, whose mutual relatiers today are most intimate and cordial, and who -are the two powers most interested in preserving the situation on a footir s of equality and liberty in the Adriafic, have been able to agree on the funoa- mental outlines Of the solution of the Albanian problem in conformity with the principle of nationality and having tue consideration for their own usual in- terests with regard to Albania, that Ai- bania neutralized with the guarantee of the great powers shall live as an iEde- pendent state, with an opportunity for advancement and present an open field to the free commerce. of the world and be at the same time a factor of political equilibrium in the Balkan peninsula aa1 in the Adriatic. There was then no rea- son to modify the triple alliance and none of the parties had asked to have 1t modified. It was not necessary, he saiG, to point out that the treaty was essen- tially pacific and defensive and that is spirit entailed an obligation on eacn power to do it's utmost not to involve the others in complications unnecessarily and to maintain the most cordial rela- tions with the other powers.
 .The alliance between Italy, Germany and Austria. said the minister, ma 1e fruitful by the closest and most cordial relations between the allies, must con- tinue to be the fundamental pivot of tie Italian foreign policy
 Marquis Di San Giuliano added that on the occasion of the appointment of General Yon Hoetzendorf as chief of

London, December 1S.-The ambas- sadors of the powers at their meeting this afternoon confirmed their decision fo maintain impenetrable secrecy con- cerning their discussions, but one of ahe delegates observed that the secrecy was only apparent, as on the most irl- portant questions the ambassadors would be compelled to consult with the peace delegates in order to ascertain their intentions and the feelings of their countries.
 Besides, the same delegate added, It would be useless to maintain secrecy on secondary matters, when what is really of capital importance is openly and solemnly proclaimed to the world. He instanced the speech of M. KokoY- soff, the Russian premier. who, he said, today spoke before the duma, but in reality addressed his statement Q the whole of Europe in the name of The Great Salavonic and Orthodox power.
 M Kokovosoffs speech, notwithstand- ing the usual declaration of the wish. above all to preserve peace, emphasized the importance of, the unanimity of The Balkan peoples and, representing the Emperor, who is the supreme principal patron and venerated spiritual head of the Othodox world, praised the civic and military virtues of the allies, prom ising them support from the mother Russia, who so far lis glad she has not to change the calm attitude adopt ed at the outset"
 Calm Attitude May Change
 This, in plain language. means that the .calm attitude" might have been changed in the past, and may change in the future, if the rights of the Bal kan peoples do not receive due recog- milton. However it is asserted that the Austrian and German ambassadors at the meeting today were most cordial although reserved.
 ] When the question of the Dardanelles was raised it is reported Count Becken- dorff expressed the desire of Russia that the straits be declared open only to the Russian fleet, and not to the fleets of other countries, as his government wished the Black sea to remain a kind of inter- nal Russian lake.
 Concerning the islands along the Turk 5sh Asiatic coast the opinion prevails that they will remain to Turkey, because, ow ing to their proximity to the Asiatic con tinent, whichever other country which possessed them would be constant threat to Asia Minor
 The idea is that these islands must be- long to the state ruling Asia Minor.
 Albania is the hardest nut to crack, 1t being foreseen that whatever solution is adopted it will be a future source Of trouble, notwithstanding the rosy eolored predictions in the speech made today Tn inc Italian chamber by Marquis Di San Giulano, minister of foreign affairs. If ottoman rule is destined to disappear from Europe it is out of the question fo have the Turks retain any political or Administrative power in Albania under my form, according to the views ex- pressed here, but it is much feared that even an autonomous and neutraized All bania, owing to racial. religious economic and financial reasons, would be unable to stand without even more direct assist hnce from the powers than in the case of Crete which experiment for the powers was quite enough, and they are not desir ous of repeating it.

SURE OF TWELVE STATES
McCombs Admits That Seven
Are Still Debatable.

William F. McCombs gave out a state
ment yesterday in which he summed up
reports he had received from nineteen
states. All save seven Of these he
claimed as safe for Wilson, and even in
those states which he classed as de-
batable he declared that his candidate
was making steady gains, which would
insure his victory.
In Colorado his lieutenants reported a
marked drift TO President Taft, but the
Democratic chairman asserted that the
Republican recruits were won from the
ranks Of the third party, and that not
only would Wilson carry the state, but
that the state ticket and the Legislature
would fall into the hands Of the Demo-
Gratis.
Another state in which he found Taft
strength was Connecticut, but here again
ne expressed optimism. on the ground
That Oscar Underwoods campaigning
Trip had made thousands Of converts
Idaho he called "the battle-ground Of all
three parties" but here, too, he an
nounced Democratic drift. Massa-
cnusetts he also found close. Wilson,
TART and Roosevelt was the order in
which he placed the contendlng candi-
dates Michigan he found leaning
toward Roosevelt. but with a big Demo-
cratic movement under way.
Among the states which he classed as
certain for Wilson were Delaware, Ind
lana. Iowa Kansas, Kentucky, Mary
land' Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska.
he expressed confidence that Maine. III
hois and Montana might soon be added
10 the list.

and the better educated classes who have
come to us from the nations of Europe.

have done what has been done in the con-
