EVENTS THAT DRAGGED ITALY
INTO war OF II NATIONS

The entrance of Italy into the
world war which began last August
brings the number of states engaged
in the conflict up to eleven.
Italy allied with Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary since 1882 in the
triple alliance, was called upon last
summer shortly after the assassina-
tion of the Austrian crown prince at
Sarajevo, Bosnia, to support the Ger
manic empires. 1t declined, and then
began a series of diplomatic nego-
tiations which soon resolved them
selves into efforts on the part of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary to in
duce Italy to remain neutral.
Prince Won Buelow, an astute Ger
man statesman, whose wife is an
Italian woman, was sent to Rome
with instructions to do his utmost to
save the situation.
He labored indefatigably for
menths,> but in vain. He offered Italy
certain parts of Austrian territory as
the price of its neutrality, but it's an
swer was always 1T is not enough" "
1t now appears that Austria did
not really believe that Italy would
enter the field against it.
In the meantime there had arisen
instantly q war partly led by the
"Irredentists" which made it's voice
heard in no uncertain terms. Dis
patches from Rome for months have
indicated that the sentiment for ac-
tive preparation in the war was
stronger by far than that on the side
of continued neutrality.
The cabinet of Premier Salandra
resigned early in May. This was the
signal, for. violent demonstrations in
many: of the important cities of the
kingdom, all in favor of war. A
wave of patriotic fervor swept the
country and the people were loud in
their demands for beginning of
hostilities.
Troops had to be called out to
maintain order, but everybody and
everything which represented con-
tinued neutrality was denounced and
decried.
Even relatives Of King Victor
Emmanuel were hooted, and there
was talk of revolution. The emperor
of Austria Hungary was burned in
efigy in Rome and ex-Premier Clio
litti, leader of the pacifists, was driv-
en- into seclusion.
E These evidences Of the popular de-
termination had their effect. The
announcement was made that the
ministry Of Premier Salandra would
continue in ONCE, whereupon there
was instant calm throughout the

COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION
Good Attendance and Plenty of In
terest Manifested.

workers were in session Tuesday and
Wednesday. Secretary Snow said it
was the best convention remembered
in this county. The old-times ad-
nit they have seen nothing like it
for ten years. President James An
derson secured boosters for even the
remote parts of the county. The re-
suit is ten in attendance from Court
enay, eight from ,Eldridge, seven
from Cleveland, and less numbers
from eight other schools. Then
there are about twenty-five delegates
from the city schools.
The fine equipment for Sunday
school work of the two new churches
attracts the attention of all the vis-
itors. Mr.. Bishop, the state presi-
dent, said that 1T gave evidence that
someone here "a. alive to the i'm
portance of work for the youth of
the city.
The program began Tuesday even
ing at the Presbyterian church, with
Rev. James Anderson presiding. The
music was under the direction of
Mrs. Colburn, with Prof. Colburn at
the organ. Two fine addresses were
given by Prof. VIM. E. Roe of the
college and Mr.. Bishop of Fargo.
The latter is a travelling man by
profession and Sunday school man
by choice. He told something of the
process by which the Methodist
Sunday school of Fargo, of which
he is superintendent, was worked up
from discouraging proposition to
the largest in the state. He gave
the credit largely to the influence of
the business mems class, composed
of some of Fargo's busiest and BRAIN
lest men who consider Bible study of
sufficient Importance to hold their
attention.
Wednesday morning the greetings
of the city were conveyed by DR..
Phillips in the absence of President
Kroeze in New York.
The officers did not give as glow
ing reports as they wished, for the
secretary, Mrs. Gran, had not been
able to get replies to her requests for
reports from the schools. But what
she had were proof of growth and ac-
tivity. Treasurer Boise regretted
that schools had not sent in con-
tributions as was anticipated, so
that the promises of last year had
fallen short something like $40. The
enthusiasm of this meeting ought to
more than make up the deficit.
This evening two instructive ad-
dresses are on the program from
Rev. E. E. BARNARD of this city and
Secretary w. A. Snow of Fargo. The
public generally are invited.
Mrs. Snow was present Wednesday
getting up at am. to catch a
500 train out of Hankinson in order
to meet her appointment. Her in
spiration address did not sound in
the least degree sleepy. She was
obliged to leave on the afternoon
train for Williston for another con-
vention. Mr.. and Mrs. Snow and
Mr.. A. L. Bishop will always be well
come in this city.

country. Having gained their point,
the people quieted down as quickly
as they had risen to voice their de-
termination, and turned their faces
to await the call to arms.
For months the diplomatic ex-
III. n,ges between Vienna and Rome
l..s<&.sn, constant, but the most per-
sister. etsssrts of the diplomats to
keep l. apf the war were futile.
The Trip. 1liance was denounced
by Italy on May 4, but even after this
diplomatic endeavors were con-
tinued, Austria offering Italy furth-
er concessions as late as May 10.
One great purpose of Italy in en-
tering the war is to gain possession
of "unredeemed Italy," sweep of
Austrian territory to the north and
east near the head of the Adriatic
sea. This region, which includes
Trent and Trieste, is Italian in all
but nationality. To attain it has long
been 1taily's cherished ambition.
The territory in dispute may be
defined roughly as the sections of
Austria south of a line drawn in the
Rhaetian Alps, where Italy, Austria,
and Switzerland meet, eastward to
the Carnic Alps, and thence south
ward along to the Italian Alps, and
again eastward so as to include
Fiume.
The first part of this territory
forms wedge penetrating Italy be-
tween Lombardy and Venetia and
cutting Lake Garda, while the second
portion includes the peninsula of
I'd fa q
Julian Alps, between the Tagliamen-
to and Save rivers.
This territory is called italia 1r-
redenta" (unredeemed .taly), be-
cause it once formed part of the
Italian states of the middle ages and
because the majority of the people
are of Italian stock.
For the same reason the Dalma-
ton islands are considered to be part
of italia Irredenta."
The district of the city of Trent,
known in Italy as the Trentino, once
formed part of the Roman colony OF
Tridentini, which in 1927 passed un-
der the rule of a bishop and then,
after various changes, came into pos
session of Austria, together with
Lombardy and Venetia.
After the defeat of Austria in
1859 by Piedmont and France, and
even after Piedmont had taken over
Lombardy and the kingdom of Italy
had been formed in 1861, Austria
continued to hold Venetia, until its
defeat in the Austro-German war OF
1866 gave it to Italy.
There was left in possession OF
Austria, however, the wedge OF the
Trent district, as menace to Italy:
The territory to the eastward
which Italy desires is made up prin-
cipally, Of Istria. In early days q
part of the republic of Venice, it
passed to Austria, together with Dal-
malta, with the abolition of the re-
public in 1897.
In 1905 Austria was compelled by
Napoleon to cede Istria to France,
but in 1913 Austria seized it and has
held it since that time.
Aside from the Dalmation islands,
the territory sought by Italy includes
about 5000 square miles, with more
than 100000 inhabitants.
