Italian Patriots Prosecuted

The German unity movement was trav- cling a hard road. but finally at Frank fort an elected parliament took up the question of a constitution The matter or admitting Austria, was thrown out, and in March, 1S49, it was decided to form hereditary empire with the Prus- sian ruler as the head Not only did Austria object, but Frederick William " declined to be their King. Austria in 1851 compelled the restoration of the old German confederation.
 Frederick William " in 1850 granted his people a constitution which, while not all the liberals wanted or expected, was ac- cepted.
 Italy did not escape the revolutionary wake. Under the most adverse condi- tions imaginable the patriots In various states poets. journalists, and advocates did what they could to keep alive the fires of freedom Prosecutions, the jail, or the gallows did not deter them Hun dreds were cast into obscure prisons by their petty rulers and forgotten. Their writings were burned and the printers sent to the gallows. Spies thrived every where The Carbonari started mutinies among the troops. There were other out breaks. but there was sad lack of sys- tenn and coordination among the revolu- fionists, and many valuable lives were wasted and much time lost.
 Patriots like Mazzini at home or in exile We're unceasing with their pens, melting pity abroad for Italians or urging their countrymen to action. They started small newspapers, which

halls at vienna and denounced the Elm peror and Metternich. The latter fled to England and the country went wild with joy. Hungary's diet was carried by the reformers who passed laws giving the country a modern constitution and ban fishing all the out of date acts which had made it feudal. The press was freed, jury trials instituted, and the fees and tithes heretofore extorted from the peas ants were swept off the books.
 Before the month was out Vienna had acknowledged this practical independence of Hungary and Kossuth's battle was won. Similar demands by Bohemia were granted. A national constitution was adopted.
 But the triumph was not long lived The old fight in Hungary between Magyar and the Croatians broke out The Elm peror dissolved the diet at Budapest and appointed a Croatian in command of all troops in Hungary. There were riots In Vienna, where the revolutionists drove the Emperor out The troops came and took possession of the city and reaction again ruled. But the Emperor was forced to give way to his nephew. the present ruler. The latter rescinded all the con- sessions made by his predecessor. Hun gary defied him and proclaimed him usurper. The Austrian army defeated the Hungarian forces for time. but the latter regained lost ground, and the diet declared the nations independence, with Hossuth as president.
 Russia joined Austria to put down the rebellion and sent large army for the purpose. Caught between Austria and Russia, Hungary was beaten. Kossuth and some others fled, but many patriots who were captured or who surrendered were put to death. All reform measures went by the board and in less than two years Hungary was back where she had started.

had a furtive circulation among the people. Mazzini was a constructive revolutionist, but there were plenty who believed in force.
 Then ensued years of missionary work spreading the gospel of Italian unity and freedom to all people. Mag zini, with a price on his head, had to spend most of his life in London Working each in his own way were Balbo, Gioberti, D'Azelgia, Cavour, and others. Cavour, an aristocrat and q soldier, resigned from the army to study agriculture in all its relations in order to teach his countrymen how to prosper and how to be free. The political resurrection of Italy,s long and painful, had begun.
 Naples revolutionists opened the 1S4S ball by extorting a constitution from their King, and the news of the suc- cess of the revolutions in France, Aus tria, and elsewhere greatly encouraged Italy. Some states granted small con- sessions to the people. Charles, Albert of Piedmont perhaps went farther in this direction than any other ruler un- less it was the pope. The revolutions at this time, nevertheless, failed for want of co-operationf and reaction set in as usual, the liberals being made to feel the mailed hand of Austria and the Italian rulers. The patriot army, led by King Charles Albert of Piedmont, which had resisted the Austrian rule in Lom- bardy and Venetia, had been beaten, but the Italian unionists were not discouraged. It was hopeful sign to them that a king should lead them. and they had reason to look with the same favor on his suc- cessor, Victor Emmanuel IT. q
 The great adviser of this king was Cavour. who had now risen to be lead- ing statesman of Italy and a force to be reckoned with. He had trained him. self for statecraft. and to a natural apti- tude he added learning, foresight and the advantage of travel. He set about to gain a powerful ally Nor his king and he caused Piedmont to assist France. Austria and England in its war against Russia in lS54-5. For this he was much blamed, but to it was due the aid given to Italy by Napoleon III in later years. The par ticipation in the war gained Cavour a place in the subsequent congress of Paris and chance to present Italy's case and to denounce Austria. This raised him to the front rank of diplomatists and gave Piedmont standing among the na- tions

HORRORS OF MODERN WAR

Some years ago M. Bloch, great Warsaw banker and political economist, starltd the world by the declaration that great war between European powers was a physical impossibility, says Tit Bits.
 such a war; said M. Bloch, "has at last become impossible, and those who are preparing for war and basing all their schemes of life on the expecta- tion of war are visionaries of the worst kind. Science and invention have made able"
 Without taking quite such an extreme view as the famous Russian apostle of peace, 1t is easy to see that war be- tween two or more great European na : tions, if not actually impossible. would have consequences terrible that no nation would ever dare to face them a second time.
 In the past war has been sufficiently prodigal in its squandering of fife and gold. During the past century alone it reaped harvest of 14,0Oo,000 lives; in one great struggle that between France and Prussia, the death roll totalled So0.- GOO. and on three battlefields- Borodino. Moskowa and Leipzig-more than quar- ter of a million soldiers were either killed or wounded The price paid for the Franco-German war in gold was G516,- 0Oo.ooo Gncluding Frances indemnity, and the American civil war, is said to have sacrificed 600,0O0 lives, at cost of s2,00O,- OO0O0
 Such was the price paid for war in days before the science of death-dealing was really out of it's cradle. and its rapid progress during the last generation has advanced it as far from thS Say Of Sedan as Sedan was removed from Agn- court
 What strides the science has made is that the artillery of today is at least 116 times more deadly than the batteries which slaughtered their thousands at Sedan and Gravelotte In 1870 shrapnel fire, for example. only scattered 37 death dealing missiles. Now 1t scatters 340 A bomb weighing about 70 pounds 40 years ago would have burst into 42 fragments Today, when 1t is charged with peroxi- lent. 1t breaks up into 120O pieces. It Is estimated that such q bomb would eff fectually destroy all life within a range of 200 yards of the point of explosion.
 So terrible in its powers of slaughter is the modern cannon that, if body of 10000 men advancing to the attack had to traverse distance of mile and a half under the fire of a single battery. they would be exposed to 1,45O rounds before they could cross the zone of fire and the bursting of the shells fired by that battery would scatter 2600o bullets (more than 27 for each man) in frag- ments over the mile and . half across which they would have to march. Such is the perfection which artillery has at- tained already. thanks to the invention of the quick firing gun. to range finders and to the use of higher explosives. The modern rifle has a range of two to three miles. and such power of pene- tration that it's bullet will easily pass through dozen men before Its force is

spent. Such, too. is it's speed of flight that there is no longer any need to sight the gun so as to drop your bullet at d particular range You aim straight at your man, and the bullet goes straight to its mark
 Today, too, the soldier can fire F times as many shots per minute as he was able to do generation ago. As recently as the Russo-T Turkish war soldier could only carry S4 cartridges into action; now he can carry roughly four times this number without adding to his burden

 Within a few miles of Antofagasta is Chuquicamata, where the Guggenheim syndicate has some of the largest de- posits of low grade copper on earth. They can be worked at a profit and will soon be supplying the greater part of the copper from the South American continent Further north. at uyuni, are tin mines, and down the same road comes the tin of Potosi and Oruro. ln- deed, a river of minerals is already flowing through the port and the out look is that the stream will increase

Alliance Against Austria

In 1858 he and Napoleon met secretly and concluded and alliance against Aus tria, to be carried out under certain con- oitions and to be followed by certain results. Austria was to be affronted by Piedmont, and. If she attacked the latter France would come to Piedmont's aid The rest of Iatly was then parceled out much as congress of nations would have done. In return for French aid Victor Emmanuel was to give his daugh- ter as wife to an old roue. Prince Napo- leon, "Plon Plon.'
 The war came on as designed. The Italians engaged the Austrians but Ma poleon's army did not arrive until the Italians were almost routed. Finally the united armies defated the Austrians at Magenta and Solferino. Then, instead of helping to press on and drive the usurpers from Venetia as they had been from Lombardy and Milan, Napoleon III turned about and concluded peace with Austria without the king of ItaIys consent
