Russia Hint. Italy Must Act.

Rome, March 26-Certain warnings
appearing in Russian newspapers after
an announcement of the fall of the
Austrian position at Przemysl have at
tracted the close attention of Italian
readers. They refer mostly to the
"dwindling chances of Austria and say
that neutral countries should seize the
opportunity now presented to them.
The Birgewja Viedomosti of Petro-
grad says the capture of Przemysl is as
important as would be the fall of Con-
stantinople. Austria is doomed this
paper declares, and she will be obliged
to sue for peace. When this happens
the intervention of countries now neu-
trail will be most difficult. Austria.
even beaten by Russia. would still find
means to resist Italy and Rounania.
SO if these latter countries defer action
the cost later of what they desire will
be just so much the greater.
The Petrograd Courier says the fall
Of Przemysl means the neutrals must
act now or never.
Rome Journal Urges Intervention.
The Messaggero has published an ar
ticle regarded as inspired. which inti-
mates that Italy can not gain her de-
sires by an adherence to neutrality.
."The feeling in Austrian circles.
this paper says, "'is that the country
would rather give Galicia to Russia,
and so conclude peace, than give
Trent and part of Istria to Italy for
the sake Of Italian neutrality. Were
this done it would remove the night
mare of Russian invasion of Austria
and leave Austria free to fight to the
death against Roumania and Italy
In concluding its article the Messag-
gero says:
"The dissolution of Turkey would
ccn,pel italy TO reach an understand
ing with Great Britain concerning her
interests in the eastern Mediterranean
furthermore. the defeat Of Austria
would make it necessary for Italy to
act in accord with Russia and Serbia
to defend her interests on the Adriatic
and in the Balkans 1t Is our opinion
that neutrality, or friendly negotia-
tions can accomplish nothing"

by submarine today. A torpedo
passed within ten feet of the fishing
boat while she was crossing the chan

submarine. which, however, disap-
peared.

QUESTION RIGHT TO
ssPOUNCE ON" THAW
justices lngraham and Scott Express
Doubt Whether Defendant Can Be
Returned to N Matteawan-Honor of
State Vital Point in Question.

New York. March 26.-Two justices
of the appellate division of the SUI
preme court agreed today that there
was a doubt whether the state of New
York would be in it's right In "pounc-
ing on" Harry K. Thaw and returning
him to Matteawan.
They were Justice Ingraham, pre-
siding, and Justice Scott. To voice
their views they interrupted Franklin
Kennedy, special deputy attorney gen.
eral, in charge of the states case, while
he was arguing before the appellate
division against an appeal taken by
Thaw's counsel from the decision of
Justice Page, refusing q motion to re-
move Thaw to New Hampshire.
Counsel for Thaw had already pre-
sented their arguments. based on the
contention that Thaw, having been ex-
tradited from New Hampshire, and
having been freed, should be returned
forthwith. Mr.. Kennedy then began his
argument. contending that even tho
Thaw had been acquitted. the fact re-
manned that he was now within New
York jurisdiction; that the original
commitment of Thaw to Matteawan
was still valid, he should be returned
there.
Justice Ingraham interrupted his ar
gument to say:
II am in doubt as to the right of the
state Of New York to pounce upon
Thaw following his acquittal and then
return him to the state hospital at
Matteawan. l believe most citizens of
New York, would regard such action as
dishonorable. The question involved is
whether the state of New York can
with honor hold Thaw ona commitment
signed subsequent to the second trial
and found not guilty, when the COM
mitment ordered his return to Mattea-
wan on a charge that is not extradit-
able"
Justice, Scott agreed with Justice
Insraham and said the question at
issue was not so much the return of
Thaw to Matteawan as maintaining the
honor of New York. Mr.. Kennedy said
in reply:
"The question of the honor of the
state ID not involved. There is no state
or federal statute which protects Thaw
from the original commitment
Justice Ingraham said there was no
question as to the legality of the COM
mitrnent, but the question was whether
the state had a right to commit Thaw
to Matteawan without giving him first
safe passage to New Hampshire.
It was indicated that decision might
be handed down next. week.

LIFE IN THE NAVY.
(Boston Record.)

Secretary Daniels says that provis- sion will be made in the navy esti- mates this year for an increase in the number of enlisted men and marines. Which has the sweet flavor of prom ise. We await the substantial food fulfllment.
 That we need men to man the ships which we have, as well as to man the ships for which we hope. has been a commonplace of popular understand ing for a long time. Probably nothing that Secretary Daniels has said since he became chief of his department has stirred so much attention as his bland assertion lately that the navy was ready for any emergency It attracted attention because it was so obviousiy misleading and misrepresentative.
 The only emergency for which our navy appears to be ready is such as occurred recently off Newport, where

THE GERMAN EXAMPLE.
Seattle P.-I.)

The world has an object lesson of convincing value in the present strong domestic position of Germany through the intensive protection and encour- agement of its home industries. Iso- lated by a barrier of hostile armies, alter more than a year of war 1t is strong, elf-centered, and possesses every element of domestic strength every staple need. and is able to pro- drce within the boundary of the em- pire every item of national necessity.
 More than this, it finds itself, after expending approximately four billions of dollars for war purposes, with am- pie capital in it's banks and in its treasury, with nearly every dollar of its former cash resources still subject to It's national needs. Where other nations, notably England, have i'm ported war and other necessities, Ger many has expended it's money with its own industrial concerns and preserv- ed a favorite trade condition in spite of
 he barriers of commerce.
 Germany, in the past has growth rich from the free trade fields It has in vaded free markets with its goods supplied them with the products of its factories, displaced the home products and carried foreign money back for its own development It's trade policy coupled with its encouragement to home industries, equipped the empire with an industrial plant that was suf- ficlent for every purpose when war constructed wall about the nation.
 The end of the war will. of neces- sity. bring a readjustment of other na . tional trade policies. The example of Germany will not be lost. Home in dustries will be encouraged, and the tremendously efficient system of the Teuton empire will be duplicated by other nations.
 In America Germany's example should set at rest the propaganda of the free trader, and 1t should leave no further doubt In the minds of Ameri- can citizens of the urgent necessity of adequate protection and every pos- sible encouragement to every home in- dustry.

THE WAR CUTS OFF GENIUS.
(London Observer.)

I asked Metchnikoff a while age whether the war had really deprived t,re world of genius; whether we should have to wait long years for new inventions, for the solution of prob- lems which vex and weigh upon hu- manity. The veteran bacteriologist was in a hopeful mood In the calm of his laboratory, in which I found him en- gagged on a study of silkworms as If there were on earth shaking war. he )oke to this effect:
 Ut is true that there has been loss to science on the battle field Two of the young doctors here have died at the front; a young professor of promise has also perished. These are but samples of what has happened every where. But I do not despair. Nature is boundless in her resources; the re- generative force of France and Russia is not exhausted"
 On the contrary, he feels that this frightful war may advance science rather than retrard it. If the Germans are beaten they will turn more readily to their interrupted studies and knowl- edge will benefit by their application.
 did not ask the learned investigator whether he thought the German was indispensable to science; but, at the
