countenance any attempt to railroad

all right. He is just boy, and some
OF the things he has done were no
more than any other boys do. If he

automobile everybody said he was
speeding. ! have persuaded him to
give up his fast cars. and one of them

This application for a lunacy COM

formation which indicates that the
government has arrived at an under
standing with Great Britain and

agreement is described as follows:

military action. Italy will refrain
from hostilities during the present
stage of desultory trench warfare,
which would enable Germany and
Austria to concentrate a large part of
their forces against her. She will time
her blow contemporaneously with a
general effort by all the opponents of
central empires now in the field.
Second, an understanding concern
ing the territory to be awarded to
Italy in the event of victory.
Third, provision that after the
war an alliance shall be formed be-
tween Italy and the present triple
entente of Great Britain. France and
Russia"
