ITALY EXPECTED
TO JOIN ALLIES
Excuse Is Not Yet Sufficient, Is Belief
in London, but Justification Will
Be Afforded Later.

London, Sept. 2s--Notwithstandin
Winston Spencer Churchil's statement
of reasons why Italy should enter the
war on the side of the allies, it is known
in authoritative quarters that Italy is
not ready to act. Still, there are rem.
sons for believing that Italy, at the OPP
perfume time, win be found fighting with
the allies.
Officially, the British government is
doing nothing, as it does not wish to
place itself in the position of dragging
Italy into the conflict. II is recognized
that, at present, Italy's excuse would be
| territorial advantage, TO be gained
through Austria's weakened position. 1t
is expected, however, that better JUS
tification will be afforded and that then
Italy will strike. Meantime, the allies
are not complaining at Italy's formal
neutrality. They are inclined instead
to recount what might have been the
position had Italy thrown in her lot
with Germany and Austria.
Turkeys disposition is also being await
ed. Observers here think that Germany
has oyerdone her efforts in Constantine
Pile, as she is believed here 10 have done
in America. and in Turkey there is re-
ported to be now a reyulsion of senti-
ment, which, at one time, leaned decid-
eddy toward the German cause.
II is believed now that the chance
Of Turkeys participating in the war is
remote.

THE LONG sIEGEs OF HISTORY.
Fortified Towns That Have Held Out for
Many Months Against Big Odds.

1 The Franco Prussian war of lS70-7l
! was remarkable for its sieges. Bazaine
held out at Metz against the Germans
/ for nearly two months and finally sur
rendered with 5000 officers and $4,000
men. For this he had to submit to court
martial and was sentenced to 20 years
| Imprisonment. Afterward came the siege
of Paris, which lasted six months. Thou
sands of shells were rained on the city
every day by the Germans, and no fewer
than 10000 of the inhabitants sue
cumbed to disease and hunger. That
lengthy sieges are quite possible, even
in these days of huge guns, is illustrated
by Chukri Pasha gallant defense OF
Adrianople last year for l55 days. Then
there was the comparatively recent great
siege of Port Arthur in the Russo Jap
anese war in l904-05, which finally ca
pitulated after being blockaded by Adj
miral Togo for 2l0 days. The name OF
General Stoessel will rank with those of
the greatest soldiers of modern times
In Ottoman and Russian military his
tory. there has never been siege like
that of Plevna in 1877, when Osman
Pasha defied the Russians for IA days
and finally surrendered on December 10,
with 10000 men and 100 guns, owing to
provisions and ammunition running
short. In the same year Kars, long the
bulwark of the Ottoman empire in Asia,
was stormed by the Russians after
siege of five months. Twenty-Five years
earlier the fortress had been brilliantly
defended for eight months against the
Russians by the Turks under General
Williams, who had but $4,000 men
against 10000.
Even these sieges, however, are some
what insignificant when compared with
some others. The longest siege occurred
in the American Civil war, when the
-onfederates defended the town of Rich
nond for ass days, or Just over four
years. Sebastopol, in the Crimean war;
leld out for II months, while General
Gordon defended Khartoum against the
soudanese for 300 days. The sieges of
Kimberley and Mafeking, in
he South African war. lasted 100. l23
nd 26l days, respectively. There is prob
bly,. however, no siege which Britishers
Ike 10 read about so much as that car
led out by France and Spain in their
ndea vors 10 carry the Rock Of Gibraltar.
1888. Altogether, the siege lasted
early four years, and, as the world
nows, resulted in a complete triumph Of
british arms. in spite Of the fact that
he enemy numbered 10000 TO 10000
ien, while the defenders could only mus
sr 7,000-Tit- Bits.

DEFEATED BARRE
BY SCORE OF 8 TO 3
Game Played in Poor Condi-
tions and to Meagre
Crowd

With weather decidedly more suitable
for football, the Barre A. G. suffered de-
feat at the hands of the Goddard sem
mary team at Goddard campus Saturday
afternoon by the score of s to 3, The
game was played in the presence of but
a mere handful of people and the frigid
weather conditions allowed only the
crudest Of baseball. The Barre team
secured lead at the outset, but this
was soon overcome by the seminary ag.
gregation. After the fourth inning the
Goddard team demonstrated it's SUI
periority and clearly outclassed the
Barre lads The features of the game
were the pitching of Mendez, the Barre
| twirler, and Davidson of the Goddard
team the honors being in favor of tue
semnarian. Mendez twirled excellent
ball at the start of the game but
wretched support caused defeat for the
Barre twirler. Fowlie was the chief
contributor to the downfall of the Barre
HEAVIER by furnishing four inexcusable
misplays.
The Barre team scored the first run
in the initial inning. Tomasi was hit
by pitched ball He then started TO
steal second base. The throw was high
and he romped to third. Browns throw
was wild and Tomas scored. A home
run by T. Brown scored Barre's second
run In the fourth inning. The Goddard
team took the lead in the fourth by
scoring four runs. Conors was passed.
Keefe was also passed. An error by
Johnston filled the sacks. Laird hit to
Mute, who threw wildly 10 third and
Connors scored Wiley hit to right
field and scored Keefe and N. Brown.
An error by Mendez allowed Goddard's |
fourth run. Witt led off the fifth with |
single He stole second and third and /
then counted on Laird's hit.
In the sixth inning King reached first |
on an error by Mute. He went to third |
on Dayidson's sharp single and scored on
Connors' rap to Johnston. The eighth /
inning brought two more runs for the |
Goddard team. King was safe on Will
ley's error. HASTE singled to right
field and sent King to third. King scored

who had reached third, scored on an err
ror by Fowfie. Barre scored its last run
in the ninth. 1omasi, who had been hit
by pitched ball, stole second He
scored on a hit BY Mute.
One of the pleasing features OF the
game was the catching OF HASTE, the
former Peaeham academy lad, who re.
placed Quinn behind the bat in the sixth
inning. Quinn was forced to retire with
4 badly split hand. HASTE assumed !

London Practically Without
News from the Seat
Of the War

London, Sept. 2S.-The Tightening O
restrictions on the war correspondents
in the rear of the allied armies in the
last few days is reflected in the char
acter of the news dispatches now reach
ing London. They are as few as dur
ing the earlier stages Of the war.
The latest reports deal mainly with
unimportant aspects of past events, de-
scriptions of the German intrenched po-
sitions. the effect of the weather on the
troops and isolated incidents, such as
could be gathered in any war.
Three correspondents have just re-
leased after having been imprisoned for
three days. One of these is Harold Ash
ton of the Daily News and Leader, who
has returned to London. He says that
during his detention at French head
quarters he was treated with kindness
and courtesy, but was completely de-
priyed of his liberty. Eventually he
was handed over to the British general
staff, who, upon Ashton's pledging his
word to divulge nothing about the wherP-
abouts Of the French headquarters and
the extremely delicate and important
business with which to some extent he
had become acquainted, allowed him to

Another released correspondent de-
scribes how what he believed to be an
absolutely unquestionable pass from

loper into the zone of operations which
was forbidden TO journalists.
