THE relations OF governments are
more important than consideration for
individuals. Therefore the sacrifice
will be made to these relations Of re
calling diplomatic persons with whom
the other government believes 1t can
not work comfortably further IN pend

Of international obligingness and moth

Count vo. Reventlow in the "Tages
Zeitung" declares that he finds 1t i'm
possible 10 believe that the request
that they be recalled WAS not due TO
political reasons. lie knows OF no case,
ne says, in which the recall of both
military and naval attaches was de-
manded simultaneously. In addition,
he comments. is the fact that the recalls
were demanded after long campaign
"of the British press and of the Ameri-
can press, which take sides with the
enemies of Germany"
Count Won Reyentlow quotes a Wash
ington dispatch referring to the danger
of a severance of relations between
Austria and the United States and says
that he does not know how highly Aus

clares that the United States demands

The "Boersen Zeitung" attacks the
United States in n long article in which
it compares that country TO Italy and
Great Britain as filled with "holy
egotism," bu says that Italy is the only
one courageous enough TO take an open

APHASIA VICTIM IDENTIFIED
Hastings on Hudson Youth Wsnders to
Staten Island Hospital.

The young man who was found wan
dering aimlessly on Staten Island Sat
urday evening was identified yesterday
at the Smith Infrmary, Tompkinsville,
as Francis Xavier McKernan. of Hast
gs-on-Hudson. He was released only
two days before from st. Johns Hos
pital, Long Island City. where he had
undergone treatment for month for
aphasia.
McKernan first got his name in the
papers year ago by clipping with Miss
Elsie Alice Van Steenburg, of $40
West 146th Street. They attended a
moving picture show together and were
so stirred by film elopement that they
went straightway and did likewise. A
suit for annulment brought by the
girls mother is pending in the West
chester courts.
McKernans aphasia, his physicians
say, results from a blow on the head
he received several weeks ago while
employed in subway construction work
in Brooklyn.

No Child Is NATURALLY Lazy

Nujol, pure white mineral oil, is the
medically endorsed remedy for constipa-
ton. Nujol acts solely as lubricant
oiling the intestinal tract, softening the
contents, and thus promoting easy normal
excavations. 1t is not absorbed by the
system, and may be taken in any quantity
without harm. Hence It is especially re-
commended for children.
Nujol is colorless, odorless and tasteless.
Over Al, 900 doctors already have asked US
to send them samples Of Nujol.
Write for booklet, The Rational Treat
ueut of Constipation. If your druggist
hasn't II, we will send a pint bottle Of
Nujol prepaid to any point in the United
States on receipt Of 76c-money order or

New Policy Has Swept
Away Parties and Doomed
German influence.
FIRST AIM TO WIN
LOST PROVINCES
Trent and Adriatic Lands and
Istria Embraced in Newly Born
National Aspirations.

Rome, Dec. Premier Salandra
made a speech at Turin the other day
in which he said two words that
summed up Italy's purposes in the war
--"aational aspirations" This policy
of Selling the present moment, when
all Europe is at war, for realizing
Italy's aspirations has swept aside old
parties and leaders and brought new
ones on the stage. 1t has given a name
to new party, the nationalist, and II
has founded a newspaper in Rome, the
Ideal Nazionale."
First and foremost Of Italy's national
aspirations is TO get back her two lost
provinces in the north-Trent in the
west. ard the rich strategic country
north Of Venice, sweeping around the
head of the Adriatio down to Trieste.
These two provinces are the Alsace and
Lorraine Of Italy; they are essentially
Italian. Italy has deeply resented the
loss Of these two provinces ever since
they passed under the political control
Of Austria. She has always aspired to
get them back, but IL remained for the
present war to mould this sentiment
into an irresistible movement OF ina
tional aspirations"
Istria Another Goal.
But Italy's national aspirations do
no. end with getting back her lost prov
c,s. Just across the Adriatic lies
-rfa. that great stretch of country
wticl used TO be a Roman province
and later was part Of the Venetian re-
rublic. Italy does not forget that this
valuable Shorthand along the Eastern
Adriatic was once Italian, and national
aspiration feels that II should again be
italian. And beyond that lie the
Aegean Islands, and the route to the
East. with Italy as the great power
wing nearest this dazzling field and
having the largest coast line on the
Nediterl lean. I'm this, too, Italy does
not forget that old Rome was mistress
Of the East and West and that a Roman
Emperor. Constantine, founded Con-
IIftlhhllt anu gave a. ms iioiHts
The most notable feature of this new
.lovement of national aspiration is the
,udden disappearance of German pres
zee and influence. For years Germany
lad been building up commanding
position in the commercial, financial
and Industrial affairs of Italy. The Triple
Alliance was the political bond, but
German business men were doing more
'han the politicians. Practically the
entire import of foreign goods, except
coal. was controlled by Germany. Ger
man capital established great banks,
built and operated railways, electric
light plants. factories, hotels with Ger
man managers and German walters.
Some of the most influential capitalists
of Italy were of German origin or with
German backing. and gradually German
influence became little short OF pre-
