.xAssUnANCE EMPHASIZED.

The explanation OF Marquis di San
Giuliano, italian Foreign Minister. that
the triple alliance. which was renewed
the other day. had undergone no
changes. recalls the declaration made
nv NJ. Delcasse to the French Chamber
Of Deputies, as far back as July 3.
1902. regarding the question whether
the alliance was a menace to France.
NJ. Delcasse. then French Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, expressed the con-
yiction. gave the assurance" ii was
interpreted TO be. that in no case and
in no form can italy become either
the instrument or the auxiliary OF az
erosion on this country (f'rance>.
If this was an assurance in 1902, how
much greater is the assurance of 1918,
especially In view of the marquis's al
lusions TO the reciprocal Italian agree
ments with Great Britain and France
respecting their common interests in
North Africa?
The truth is that whether or not the
Dreibund was a menace 10 France in
1902. and whatever Italy's obligations
10 her allies under il. since her Tri-
politan venture and acquisition. ltaly's
interests lie more in maintaining
friendly relations with Great Britain
and France than with Germany and
Austria Hungary.
Should situation develcp IN which
her cooperation with the two former
powers touching North Africa was
challenged. she could not hesitate 10
side with these. even at the expense
of detachment from the triple alliance.
Events. and the italian minister's ex-
PLANTATION have siSnally emphasized the
Delcasse assurance.

said, which Were misleading to those
who were not acquainted with all the
facts in the case.
Mi Bryan. widely known ana
greatly esteemed in the Birmingh ia m
district, died at his home in Rich
rnond In 1903. He was not only solvent,
bur mis- estate $ said 20 be worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ono
who was closely associated with Mr.
Bryan and who had an intimate
knowledge OF his business affairs, han
this 20 say IN referring to the pro
ceedings In the surrogate court in New
York: The statement that Mr. Bryan
owed $4,000 was correct, and tho
statement that the amount of his es-
tate nat as taxable was only $4,000
IS correct. but the implication that no
had liabilities of over s65o. 900 in eA-
cess ~ his assets Is wholly incorrect.
for under the laws Of New York the
bonds oaIy are taxable. and the bonds
that Mr.. bryan held were only worth
$4,000. while his total holdings of
stocks in corporations other than
those chartered in New York. were
very .arge and far in excess OF his
liabilities. ] am wholly at a loss to-
know now this garbled account got

\ comparison between the South and
me Middle West and Northwest would
further emphasize the small number
Of southern and Eastern European
farmers IN the Southern states. The
census returns. in other words. verify
the generally accepted observation
that the immigration movement has
been westward, and that the Southern
current has been comparatively small.
The condition OF affairs thus dis
closed is matter for congratulatton.
The newcomers from Southern and
eastern Europe. owing 20 their inao'ii-
u to speak English. cannot be extern
siveiy secured as settlers on the vacant
lands in the South. They can be at
tracted in limited numbers for the
Y.urpose of establishing small colonies
Neither OF these courses OF action,
however. is desirable The immigra-
ton policy of the Southern states
should be centered upon the attempt
10 secure from other sections OF the
country native American farmers and
those Of old immigrant races from
Great Britain. Germany and Nor-hei m
Europe.
