Premier Giolitti. in the debate upon the vote
| of confidence in the Salandra ministry. that
Austria communicated both to Germany and tC
, Italy in August, 1913, her intention to act
against Servia.'
"This lightning stroke from Rome confirms
much that has hitherto rested upon deduction
| That the German increase in the active army
and the direct property levy for military pur-
poses were preparations for definitely ex-
pected war; that Austria almost year before
the murder of the archduke gave her pretext
was already planning her onslaught on the
hapless land which, as Count Mensdortf told
Sir Edward Grey in July, she had always re-
garded as being in the Austrian sphere of in
fuence; and that the real cause of the greater
struggle was the Balkan war and Servia 5
growing power as a barrier on the Austrian
road to Salonica.
1.-The GiOlitti statement explains also why
Germany at the opening of the great struggle
showed so much more anxiety to keep Great
Britain out of the war than to draw Italy into
it; Austria had already been warned by the late
Marquis di San Giuliano, with Giolitti's con-
currence, that an attack upon Servia would be
considered mot defensive, because nobody
thinks of attacking her." Berlin and Vienna
knew a year in advance how Rome would inter
pref her treaty obligations. They felt them
selves strong enough to deal with France and
Russia. The failure to pacify Engand-the
failure to see in advance that the German
powers could not pacify her while invading
Belgium and smashing France-was the great
diplomatic blunder of the century.
incidentally, the fact that the most power
full Italian statesman is not averse at this
critical time to throwing such bombshel into
the German-Austrian camp is in itself signi6-
cant, and not impossibly prophetic"

ITALY's REVELATION.

Giovanni Giolitti, former premier of Italy,
IN .. speech before the Italian Chamber Of Dep
mites on December declared that Austria was
prepared to make war on Servia in August of
1913.
In other words, nearly year before the as
sassination of the Austrian heir apparent fur
nished new explanation of Austria altitude,
the Dual Monarchy was ready toforce Euro
pean war.
Sienor Giolitti laid before the chamber the
a;nloInatic messages that passed between the
Italian and the Austrian governments. It
nroves that Austria was ready to start war and
that Italy prevented the Austrian attack on the
serbs. These statements, be it noticed, do not
,.,,ne from the Allies, from the enemies of Ger
,ssry<or Austria. They come from neutral
source.

LET'S BE FAIR.

Some very commendable works in artistic
outdoor posters has been done by the local bill
posting company-and some very underhand
work has been and is being done in opposition
to this company. Mainland cities are victim
lied sometimes by billboard companies which
scatter ugly, disfguring signs indiscriminately
over the landscape That charge cannot be
brought against the Pioneer Advertising Com
pany and reference to opposition on the main
land has little application here. Son.e of the
methods resorted to in fighting tie billboards
are losing instead of winning favor, and bust
nessmen especially are beginning to talk OF
unfairness. :

Tie Jill goes on to cite the exemplary conduct

It is true that some delay was experienced in

United States has acted in this matter in pre-

act.

Government Spends 100000 and the
State Governments the Rest-Last
Outbreak in 1898

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-Today
the federal and state governments
have spent approximately S750,000
in the campaign against the livestock
foot and mouth epidemic. Of this,
about 100000 has been borne by the
federal government, almost exhaust
ing the available funds of the depart
ment of agriculture. An emergency
of probably 100000
will be asked of congress when it
meets to consider the work of stamp
ing out the disease. Experts of che
department estimate that about $780,
900 alone has been spent for slaugh-
tering condemned cattle, one nalf of
which is borne by the federal and ;he
other by the state governments. The
last outbreak of the disease in 1898
cost the federal government alone
$780, 900.
The infected states then included
Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan
and Maryland. On reports from field
inspectors that outbreak of the dis

ed to place the affected areas under
