to be the desire Of City Council to stop
the markets and drive the farmers away
from the streets at ? o'clock"
Heryey Walker, the next speaker
said:
"ln theory the city should have full
control of the markets; in practice it
won't work" Mr.. Walker alleged that
the clerks of the market had charged
more than the legal fee for stands, and
farmers tell how much they would have
to pay to get stands
Mr. Walker said the farmers would
be required to close their stands at
2 o'clock, but could keep their wagons
along tho street until o'clock, which
would give them time to shop in Will

Ferris Yearsley said he knew for
fact that farmers had been charged

the market.

ITALY HAS BALANCE

Theater Man Declares Nation
viii Be Able to Swing War
Either Way.

Are European events so shaping them
selves that Italy. the smallest OF the
great powers, will hold the balance Of
power and be able to dictate the terms
Of peace?
Italians in this country who have
given the matter careful consideration
believe that is just what Is about to
happen. Whichever way Italy casts her
lot. they believe. the victory will go
Sylvester Y. Poll. a native of Italy
and an American business man. who
has attracted attention through his
theatrical enterprises in this city and
elsewhere. Is one of those who believes
the country will have a great duty to
perform and will perform 1t. Mr.. Poll
has made a tour Of the country recently
for the purpose Of studying the situa-
ton among the Italians here, and be-
lieves that he speaks with authority
when he says that the world will owe
Italy a great debt when peace finally
Is accomplished.
He makes the novel proposition that
Italy can force a peace for more than
century. II 1t sees fit-a peace that
will forever put aside the question of
armaments and immense military estab-
lishments.
ITALY, in my judgment, is in a posi-
ton to exercise q controlling influence
In settling this great war in a way that
will inure to the lasting benefit Of all
the powers and peoples involved In the
conflict" Mr.. Poll declares. IF she
continues to prove. as she has demon

selfish spirit OF territory grabbing, she
Will place herself where at the psyche.

In and arrange a settlement that will

Of such peace would be incalcuIable tc
the commerce and happiness Of all the
nations involved in this unhappy strug.

| THE course for Italy to follow in my
| judgment Is to seize the psychological
| moment to intervene and say to ali the
warning powers that the time has come
! for adjustment.
"If italy can bring the nations Of Eu-
J rope to lock hands in a covenant OF
peace for $50 years or so-and I believe
she can do 1t II she keeps aloof until
