which was disseminated throughout

A shaft was driven through the

and the ventilation system was ad-

ITALIAN SENTIMENT.

All the reports from Italy indicate
that that country is being drawn by
the force of public sentiment more
and more toward a coalition with the
allies. 1t is not surprising. The
traditional hatred of Italians for
their old oppressor, Austria, made
the Triple Alliance an unnatural and
impossible one, and British diplo-
macy has for many years been wean-
ing Italy away from that agreement.
Italy occupies at this time a posi-
ton that far-seeing Italians cannot
but regard as dangerous. Both sides
have besought her to join them. but
thus far she has maintained an even
keel of neutrality. But suppose the
war ends, as all signs indicate it
must, in the defeat of Germany q?
And suppose Italy shall not have
taken a hand?
Italy wants, needs, and is entitled
to, some of the advantages that will
accrue to the victors if the cause of
popular liberty and responsible gov
ernment shall be victorious. She
will stand to gain important ad-
vantages in the Adriatic, and to be
greatly strengthened in the Mediter-
ranean generally, if she becomes a
partner with the allies. 1t is, of
course, possible that her neutrality
is serving the very useful purpose Of
guaranteeing the neutrality of Tur-
key. and that if she should enter the
war on the side Of the allies Turkey
would to the exten. of her power
that step by entering on
the side of Germany and Austria.
But Turkey could be Saken care of by
the rev Balkan alliance which has
bound itself to that policy. Italy
would be free to aid France against
Germany and to occupy the coveted
territory along The northern Adri-
attic. Altogether, it will be an evi-
dence of remarkable national con-
servatism if Italy manages to get
through the crisis without being
drawn into the maelstrom of war.

Las it that very large sums were

JAPAN AND MEXICO.

It seems far cry from the
time when, just a few weeks ago,
timorous people were predicting war
between the United States and Japan
over Mexico, to the conditions of to-
day, which show us Japan fighting
Germany in China. Truly, the moves
have been rapid on the international
checkerboard.
The proportions of things have
changed so strangely that it is dif-
fcult to realize that just a little
while back the capital international
news of the world had it's head
quarters in the. City of Mexico. But
during that period, it may yet be
recalled, Japan sent battle cruiser
to western Mexican port to make a
call of ceremony.
The Mexican government" of
Huerta took advantage of the occa-
SIGN to make great display of its
friendly relations with Japan, Oh
viously for the purpose of worrying
the United States. The crew and
officers of the japanese warship
were taken 20 Mexico City and treat
ed with much ceremony, and not a
few people in the United States saw
/ in the demonstration an excuse for
worrimcnt about our own future re-
lations with Nippon.
Therefore a peculiar interest at
taches at this time, or wonld if this
were normal time, to the sequel
TO that affair Of Mcxican-Japanese
rapprochement. The story comes to
Washington from the City of Mexico,
and is avouched by unquestionable
authority.
Accompanying the japanese party
was clever young diplomat who
had seen service in Washington and
various other capitals, and who had
no fool notions about the relations
Of things. He spent his time learn
ing the inwardness of affairs in
Mexico. He left utterly disgusted
with the Huerta regime, and, as the
story goes, made report to his gcv-
ernment which was one of the most
terrific arraignments of Huerta and
his administration that has ever
been produced. He told the Tokyo
government that under no circum-
stances could it permit itself to be
placed in false position of appear
ing friendly to the usurper. He must
have given some pretty emphatic ad-
vice, for as a result of his report
Tokyo went so far as to give its sub
stantial support thereafter to the
very program the United States had
been adopting program of iso-
lating Huerta and starving him into
submission to the constitutionalists
Tokyo not only declined to encourage
any advances from Mexico, but it
issued peremptory orders to the
Japanese house which had been sell
ings arms and munitions to Huerta
that the traffic would have to stop;
and stop it did.
This incident is worth the telling
now, because it illustrates how easy
