ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
GETS CONFIDENCE VOTE
Chamber of Deputies Upholds War
Policy, Defended by the 4
Premier. -

ROME. December 4, via London. De-
cember 5. 1852 a.m.-The chamber OF
deputies today voted confidence in the
government by an overwhelming ma
jority. The vote was taken after a de-
bate on the recent statement of policy
by Baron Sonnino, Italian minister of
foreign affairs, and a speech by Premier
Salandra. who said that the govern
ment was fully aware of the gravity
of the international situation, but that
its confidence in final victory was in
no wise shaken.
The premier during his speech said
that the turn of events only further
convinced the government OF the neces-
sity and justice of the war, without
which the interests, the dignity and the
honor of Italy would have been ire
mediably impaired. This conviction. he
asserted. was shared by all classes OF
people, who. he was glad to note from
personal experience, were ready 10

Unsightly Private Structures.

To the Editor of The Star:
AS one who has always taken a deep
interest in the Identification of the
capital, I wish heartily to indorse the
remarks of your correspondent who
protested against the unsightly sky
scrapers which are springing up ex
actly where they can do the most harm
to the public and private structures to
which Washington owes its title to
beauty and charm. Surely If there is
law whose object is to maintain
some uniformity of skyline, a fact
which a visitor would find hard to be-
lieve it is in need of immediate and
drastic revision.
The new structure at 18th and
streets is particularly fragrant eX-
ample, not only on account of the fact
that 1t overshadows and makes paltry
historic old st. Johns, but because it
has something of the same effect on
the White House itself. and has irrep-
arably marred that hitherto lovely Wis
ia down 10th street, with Lafayette
Park and the White House at it's end.
have already heard dozen comments
from visitors to this effect.
Where were the "City Beautiful" CO.
horts when such things were permit
ted, or have they not yet realized that
a beautiful city depends quite as much
on not doing the things that should
not be done as in doing the, things
that should be done?
