Turin. Italy. April 2S.-Count APP

Stampa as declaring that the war must
lead to the reconstruction of a power
full German Italian alliance, capable of
enforcing peace by force and also the
freedom of the seas.
TO attain this object the count is
reported to have declared it is nee
essary to avoid resentment between the
countries which will be involved He
therefore urges Italy not TO be tempted
by what seems to be a favorable OPP
portunity to push her pretensions un-

BURLEs0N TO GET PLACE?

Washington. April 29.-Relations be-
tween President Wilson and William
+. McCombs. chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee. have reached
the stage of an almost open breach
The final straw is Mr.. McCombs' OBJ
lection to Thomas ]. Pence publicity
expert of the committee. for the posi-
ton OF secretary Of the committee,
made vacant by the retirement of Jo-
seph p. Davies, chairman of the inter
state trade commission.
Mr.. Pence was and is the personal
choice of the president. Mr.. McCombs
4 was acquainted with this fact. The
chairman takes the position, however
that neither he nor the president has
anything to do with the naming of the
I iecretary that this is the business OF
Indicates its wishes secretary cannot
be appointed.
Wilson's Word Rules.
Technically, Mr.. McCombs is right
The committee elects it's own officers.
Az matter of fact it has been rec
egnized that the committee shall make
appointments in accordance with the
suggestion of the party leader. Mi,
McCombs was named as chairman be-
cause Mr.. Wilson desired it. Mr.
Davies was designated as secretary for
the same reason.
There is little doubt the committee
will stand by the president and that
Mr. Pence will be appointed. OF the
latters qualifications for the position
!. there is not the slightest question. He
did magnificent work for Mr.. Wilson
during the prenomination campaign
and. with Mr.. Tumulty, secretary to
the president, he practically ran the
eaectfon campaign.
Backed by, Wilson.
i Mr.. Wilson regards him by reason
stof his training and experience as the
enc man to fill the vacant secretary
Il Il ei1ssp .tsss., s.s :
Mr.. Pence.s selection will mean the
elimination OF Mr. AcCombs The two
men are not on good terms Moreover
McCombs is "in bad. with the presi-
dent. His disappearance as chairman
and from democratic councils may be
expected as a foregone conclusion.
The man upon whom it is believed
Mr. McCombs' mantle will fall is Post
master General Burleson. This off,
ctsI has been in close touch with the
leaders and is popular with them. II
he is named as chairman it is declared
there would be absolute unity in the
committee, as we'll as in the party.

Of the head. Neuralgia may be caused
by decayed tooth, eye-strain or a dis

general debility accompanied by anemia,

For this reason women who work too

are the most frequent sufferers from neu-

Nutrition for the nerves is the correct
treatment for neuralgia and the only way
to nourish the nerves is through the
