Of the msst influential capitalists OF
Italy were Of German origin or with
German backing. and gradually Ger

influence became little short OF pre-
dominant in Italian affairs Even in
political and international affairs Ger
man Influence was often felt. and one
Of the sins laid against the great
Giolitti-and unIustly laid against him
was that his policy up to the time
~ his recent fall was inspired by
Germany.
But this vast fabric OF German in
nuence in italy was swept away al
most In n day by the new movement
Tor the realization OF ltaly's national
aspirations. Up TO that time, just be-
fore Italy entered the war Giolltti had
been the great power in Italian af-
fairs, believed by many to be the great
est man since Cavour He had more
more than 800 OF his partsans in the
chamber and his word was law. Early
lasi May ne came to Rome determin-

with the chamber fun Of his partisans
about TO meet. IL was supposed Giolitti
would prevail. But the force OF the
OF the new movement for national as
piratlons was under-estlmated. II was

greater Italy.
Wild Enthusiasm.
Wild enthusiasm suddenly took pos
session OF the people. Mobs formed
in the streets: Giolitti's house was
stormcd. His supporters in the cham
Der were booted and insulted. II was
even feared that revolution might
spring out OF the intense popular
feeling. Gradually, however, the SOL
diers and police got the upper hand.
But the new movement had triumph
ed; the fultillment of Ttaly's national
aspirations was the watchword from
that time forward. Giolitti and his fol-
lowers disappeared from the scene and
are in seclusion. Italy denounced
the Triple Alliance. and on May IS
declared war against Austria. Since
