ITALY TESTS PEOPLE
ON THE ISSUE Of WAR
Sentiment Shown to Be OverWhelm-
ingly in Favor Of Support
ing France.

Special Cablegram to The Star and New York Times.
LONDON. August 22.-Delancey Nicol.
whose official friendships in Italy gave
him wide opportunities to gain infor-
nation during his stay in Rome. tells
q striking story illustrating the atti-
tude of the Italian army toward the
war.
The Italian government wanted to
avoid an unpopular war, having the
memory OF Abyssinia and Tripoi in
mind. so they tested the sentiment Of
the people, which was found to be
unanimously for France and against Ger
many and Austria They resorted to
the unusual expedient of ordering what
amounted to q plebiscite of the army.
Mr.. Nicol said:
Il know positively that the general
stan ordered that each captain read h
company a paper stating the situation
regarding the war and Italy's position,
then asking for an expression of opinion
as to the course to pursue.
Method Of Testing Sentiment.
First, those 'who wished to take up
arms in behalf of Austria were asked
to step to the front. and then those who
wished to fght aginst Austria Out Of
about $4,000 polled hardly one in thou-
sand voted for Austria. while the vote
for France was nearly unanimous.
"rhis strong demonstration had ar
undoubted effect on Italys attitude and
believe that before long she will be drawn
into the war against the triple alliance.
"I heard today that the relations be-
tween Italy and Austria were strained.
and I would not be surprised 1t this were
the beginning Of a conflict: Germany and
Austria are hated cordially In Italy and
she wants under her own flag the Italian
speaking Dalmatian provinces.

The Times -Picayune and the
States of New Orleans have large
daily calculations in this State.
Their papers go to the homes of
a large majority of the people of
the Third Congressional District.
They have local correspondents
in every town in the state. They
protested to give to it's readers the
news fairly and without Partially
whether of political nature or
not. Yet, in the contest now on
in this district between the Demo.
Gratis and Progressives. these large
daily papers are not living up to
their professions. fla email Demo.
cratic meeting is held in little far
away hamlet in one OF the pa
rishes they write 1t up in favor.
able light. If Progressive meet
ing is held, large or small, they do
not notice it. Especially is this
true of the tremendous meeting
held at Jeanerette last Sunday.
At that meeting the people as
sembled largely from every pa
rish in the district to hear the
leaders on each side discuss the pc.
litical issues that divide them. 1t
was an important meeting. If it
had proven to be Democratic in
sentiment. these papers in fam
ing headlines would have pro.
claimed it az q Democratic vic
tory; but as it was overwhelming.
ly Progressive ir sentiment, they
have been conspicuous fcR their
utter silence in regard to it. They
wasted not a line on the meeting.
If they had noticed it, they would
have been compelled to tell the
truth and acknowledge a Progress
sive victory. Rather than tell the
truth about the success of those
they oppose, they completely
ignored the meeting. Why is this
so?

At last Mr.. Gueydan has been
forced to show, what he says, are
his true colors. In q letter to Mr..
!, Robert Ewing, National Demo.
cratic Committeeman for Louisi.
: ana, published in the New Or
leans States, that he not only
stands by the declaration of the
principles adopted by the Demo.
cratic conference held on the 18th
of,elast month in New Iberia,
but he also says:-"and I
intend to make straight Demo-
cratic fight"
II he is in earnest, he means
that he intends to make q straight
fight against a tariff on sugar.
Free sugar means absolute ruin
to the industry from which all the
people in the third district live. It
means ruin to them. The caudi.
date which will be nominated by
the Progressive party will fight
here and In Congress for an abso.
lutte protection for sugar.
Which one will you choose. we
aak'you voters of the Third Dis.
trict, the Democrat who openly
avows that he will labor to crush
the sugar industry, the means Of
your living, or the Progressive
who is fighting for your interest
and for protection for sugarp
The success of the Progressive
party means prosperity to you
and yours. The success of the
Democratic party means ruin to
you. Which will you choosep
Mr.. Gueydan doth cut queer
antics and changes in the political
world. He is a political chameleon
and doth feed on ambition for
Office. Two years ago when he
ran against bob" Broussard his
color was red for protection ON

democratic jealousy and destruc.

third day of next November he
will be "pallid with despair"

dience three-fourths of whom
we're opposed to him. 1t was
a TRADE against and a foolish
attempt to belittle the ability
and political honesty Of the
great leader Of the Progress.
sive party. AS a result he
became the target Of many
embarrassing questions hurled
at him from the audience.
Hon. w. T. Peterman was
then introduced. After the
tremendous applause which
greeted him had subsidized,
he delivered a clear and un'
answerable argument in favor
Of the principles and mission
Of the Progressive party in
the Third Congressional Dis
trict. Mr.. Peterman, always
a forcible and fluent speaker,
on this occasion excelled all
his previous efforts. After
the conclusion of Mr.. Peter.
mans address, a pretty and
affecting scene was enacted.
Beautiful little Miss Marie
Fay, of Jeanerette, with
lovely grace walked up to
the speaker and pinned upon
the lapel Of his coat a small
bouquet of flowers. The
applause was deafening.
Peterman had captured his
audience by his eloquence,
this pretty little girl captu1.
ed him as she placed upon
his breast the emblem of vic.
tory. Beautiful bouquets Of
flowers were also presented
to the speaker by Misses
Heloise and Elodie Fay,
Heloise LeBourgeois and AL.
ice DeGravelle.
Hon. Edwin Broussard, of
Iberia, then addressed the
meeting with his usual force
and clearness.
Judge w. P. Martin, Of
Lafourche, was the next
speaker. The Judge was in
his best form and entertained
his hearers for twenty
minutes with a clear and
convincing advocacy of the
principles Of the Progressive
party.
Then came a remarkable
address, as silly as it was re-
pugnant to every one who
heard it, both Progressive
and Democrat. It was de-
livered by a gentleman by
the name of Williams-J. A.
Williams, Of Lake Charles.
He must have forgotten that
he was addressing a refined
and cultured audience. He
1xcelled the. Democratic
nominee for Congress in
abusing Col. Roosevelt; but
he went further and said in
effect that, if the Progressive
party succeeded, we would
be in danger Of a social and
political evil equal to that
of the darkest era of the
South's history. How bel
his conclusions we do
not know-he just said it. I'll
appeared that he was under
the influence of a nightmare
just seeing things.
Hon. John M. Parker clos.
ed the meeting with a mas.
terful address on the politi.
cal conditions of our country
in general and of the benefit
Of the PROGRESSIVE party in
