Italy's Place in the War.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
How fast things have happened is
oddly shown in the disparaging re-
mark of a German writer that while
the Italians might be we'll trained, few
of them had smelled gunpowder Yet
when the war broke out last August
the italian army contained more vet
Grams who had seen active service than
any other except the Russian. and its
efficiency has no doubt been greatly
increased by the campaign In Tripoli-
tania. Italy is the last of the great
powers of Europe to enlist. yet 1t may
be that in the longer perspective of
history the world war will be held to
begin with Italy's attack upon Turkey
in 1911, all the rest being a develop
ment. with Turkey as the common fac
tor. Italy had not made peace when
the Balkan allies swept down upon
Macedonia, and that war had not been
fully concluded when the allies quar-
relied among themselves and began the
second Balkan war. After that there
was an interlude, yet it must not be
forgotten that only Italy's veto pre-
vented Austria from attacking Serbia
in 1918 instead of 1914. in which case
the war would have been practically
continuous. Thus in a sense Italy may
be said to be the first as well as the
latest nation to declare war, though
latest may not mean last.

Claimed Action Too Hasty.

The inquiry followed the recommen-

Fullam against seven mfdshfpmen
charged with using improper helps in
preparing for the examinations in mod
ern languages. It was claimed that
action in their case was too hasty, and
Secretary Daniels appointed the court.
with powers to examine into all mat
ters connected with the case and with
general matters connected with exami-
nations and recitations at the academy.
The court consisted of Capt. Robert
L. Russell, president; Capt A. T. Long
and Commander Louis r. de Steiguer.
Lieut.. Commander w. c. Watts was
judge advocate.
The investigation, which has attract
ed widespread attention. followed the
receipt by Midshipman James E. Moss
of the third class of papers which
proved to be the examination for all
classes in modern languages. They
were sent anonymously through the
mail, and Midshipman Moss and the
other midshipmen who saw them have
persisted in declaring that they did not
suspect what they were. but thought
that they were some of the helps or
dope" which are usual around the
academy. Moss and six other midshfp-
men were recommended for dismissal
by Supt. Fullam.

HE EXPIRED
ON SIDEWALK

This morning about 6:45 Jens Ander-
sen found E. w. Ireland lying on his
back on the sidewalk on Judicial street
near the Gem State lumber yard. Fail
ing to arouse him he called George Dore
who tried to resuscitate him, but in
vain. DR.. Mitchell was then called but
could do nothing for the unfortunate
man, who died about ten minutes after
tho doctor arrived on the scene. The
body was then taken to the Brown Ell
dIedge undertaking parlors where it
was taken in charge by Coroner Peck
who called a jury to investigate the
deceased and the cause of his DEATH
which the doctor testified was unknown
to him. When the body was found tho
mouth was open and foaming, and there
was no evidence of bodily bruises. After
viewing the body and visiting the de-
ccased's rooms at the O'Connor house,
the jury's verdict was that the deceased
came to his death from heart disease.
N. F. Boyle, Jr., communicated with the
relatives of the deceased in Indiana,
and until they are heard from no dis
position will be made of the body.
The deceased's name was E. W. Ire
land, and he was a man of about 50
years of age. He came from Indiana
several years ago and has since been
employed almost continuously by the
Boyle Hardware company, who speak
of him as reliable and Trustworthy
employe. He was possessed of consid-
erable property here and elsewhere, all
of which he willed to brother and
sister in Indiana.
