ITALY DETERMINED
TO STAND BY ALLIES


mcnt will Adhere to the Agreement
OF London, Binding Allies Not to
Conclude Separate Peace.
Rome, Dec. I. Delayed) The
firm determination Of all Italy--army,
king and country-to continue in the
war until the national aspiratios are
satisfied was emphasized today by
Foreign Minister Sonnino in an ad-
dress to the senate and chamber.
After recapitulating Italy's share in
the conflict he announced that the
government had adhered to the agree
ment Of London binding the allies not
to conclude separate peace.
Baron Sonnino declared Greece had
agreed to give the allies sufficient
guarantees that he would maintain
benevolent neutrality towards them.
The independence OF Servia always
had been one of the cornerstones of
the Italian policy, he asserted, and for
that reason Italy would aid Servia,
across the Adriatic, providing supplies
of arms and ammunition.
The foreign minister's speech was
constantly interrupted with applause.
enthusiastic demonstrations taking
place in both the senate and the
chamber over the passage in the for
eign minister's speech alluding to the
help that Italy was about to give
Servia.
Relations With Germany.
The only mention Of Germany in
Baron Sonnino's speech was when he
said that when Italy declared war on
Austria Germany considered herself
In a state of rupturcd diplomatic re-
! lations with Italy"
The foreign minister explained that
Italy followed in the Balkans her tra-
ditional policy, inspired by the prin-
ciple Of nationality in complete ac-
cord with the allies. The quadruple
| entente, he said, aimed to unite the
Balkans, while the central empires
fomcnted their rivalry and dis
union finding unfortunately favorable
ground in the feelings OF hatred and
revenge that had arisen from the sec
ond Balkan war. Besides, he added,
Balkan mentality was impressed by
the course Of military events, lacking
comprehension of the entire situa-
ton, from which should have sprung
confidence In the final victory OF the
tallics.

Many a man writes down on paper the things he cannot articulate.
 James Gallon, dreaming of two women, taciturn and silent as he was, wrote down the thoughts which he could not express in speech. His diary, we'll thumbed, held the history of many a lonely night; but of all these nights there was one that stood out in his mind:
 It was the darkness enclosing a woman on a bed. He still heard her whispered cry: "You speak of God, Tom; but have no religion but moth- erhood." Before his closed eyes came the vision of lamp lit-then almost an apparition-the face of his daugh- ter. One life had fled, possibly ap- palled by the horrors of world that recks not of our poor humanity. Yet there was in the dead womans arms a child grotesquely asleep, as if un- awakened to the sorrows this mother had known.
 "Ruth," he cried There was no an- swer from the still woman in the darkness-but thus he had christened his only child.
 And Gallon knew he was getting old. The problem before him was no longer dim and vague-as it had been in the days of his prime-but abso- lutely distinct and clear: What was to become of Ruth when he died? He sternly put out of his mind the thought of his former partner-the man-was he dead? If he had not died that night in the gulch--if he were still alive, knowing the secret of "The Master Key" who would save Ruth from his vengeance?
 Then there rose before Gallons mind the straight, strong, almost aus tere figure of his mining engineer, John Dore. Youthful, of course, but he had proved himself wholly compe- tent in almost every task that had been given him.
 And as though fate desired to give further proof of Dore's manliness, she arranges for him, shortly after this a fearful undertaking. Ruth, while exploring the tunnels, is thrown into an ore car by terrific explosion. This explosion sends the car on it's down.

BEE BRANCH FARMER
 ALREADY OVERSEEING

F. M. Bates, living on route No. l out of Bee Branch, was in Clinton New Years day with load of nice sweet potatoes. Last year MT. Bates produced about 600 bushels of these potatoes, 200 bushels of which he has already sold at $1 per bushel. He has another 100 bushels for sale, leaving 300 bushels for seed. In addition to his potato crop he also produced 100 bushels of Whipporwill cowpeas which will be good for another $2OO a little later in the season. One other evidence of his progressiveness was manifested by his enrolling as a new subscriber to this paper.-Clinton Democrat.

Women's Missionary News

.
 The members of the Home and For eign missionary societies of the Meth odist church met Monday afternoon in the League room and perfected un- ion which will be known hereafter as the Woman's Missionary Society, combining the work done heretofore by the two branches. The following officers were elected and installed: President, Mrs. s. G. Smith; first vice president, Mrs. J. H. Reynolds; sec ond vice president, Mrs. c. H. Nelson, with Miss Pauline Newborn as assist ant; corresponding secretary, Mrs. B. T. Deal; recording secretary, Mrs. B. l.. Harton; treasurer, Mrs. A. D. Dur ham; assistant treasurer, Mrs. H. E. Cureton; superintendent of study and publicity to be elected later; superin- tendentDf local work, Mrs. Geo. s. Brown; superintendent of social ser vice, Mrs. w. N. Owen. It is our most earnest desire to make this the best years work our society has ever known, and to do that we must have the help of every member. A compe- tent set of officers is a great asset, but they cannot accomplish any great work without the support and cooper ation of the members. So if you be- lieve in a home missionary society at all, come out and help us. "He who does nothing soon becomes nothing

DAYS DEVELOP PMENTS
 IN EUROPEAN WAR

Except for attacks and counter attacks on widely separated sections of the battle lines, there is an almos, complete suspension of hostilities ev- erywhere so far as can be gathered from the official reports. Where there is fighting, however, it is described as violent in character.
 Near Soissons the French assert they have taken and are holding, de- spite counter-a attacks, a German re- doubt and two lines of trenches and in the Argonne that they have reoccu- pied positions previously taken from them by the Germans. In Alsace the fighting continues and has been the ease for several days with neither side having attained superiority. In the east and the west bad weath- CT and mud are hampering badly the army, virtually holding the men in the trenches prisoners. The movement of heavy guns in the quagmires, which have resulted from the heavy rains, is next to impossible.
 Germany reports slight gains and the capture of prisoners in Poland. A repulse of a counter-attack and the taking of 400 prisoners and several machine guns is credited to the Aus trians in Vienna's official announce ment.
 Petrograd says that the Turks in Transcaucasia again have taken wig orous offensive, apparently in an en- deavor to relieve the predicament of the Tenth army corps, which was de- feated several days ago at Sari Kam- ysh.
 A Rome newspaper prints an inter- view with the Persian minister to Italy in which the minister is report ed as saying that Persian territory was being invaded by Kurds and Turks and that Persia had sent an ul- timatum to Constantinople.

 Second Episode of The Master Key"

ward flight out through the tunnel and over the trestle. She is in dan. ger of a tragic death if the car goes over the dump at the end. Dore, su- perintending the operations of trav- cling bucket, sees her predicament. He orders the bucket swung loose by its cable and, hanging down by his legs, he swings over the girl and pulls her up to him, the car rushing on and smashing over the ore dump.
 But what of Gallon?
 Those whom we most want to for get appear at strange times. James Gallon saw the ghost of the partner he had murdered on the crest of the hill above the mine they had discovered years ago together.
 Yes, Wilkerson, the partner, was alive. He had continually searched for Gallon. In some vague way Gal lon had realized this, and his fears had been summarized by the words written down in the diary:
 "Wilkerson still alive by night When will he come out into the day? He shall never have the key that will unlock the secret to my little girls happiness. I will trust John Dore!' But it was no apparition that Gal lon had seen, first on the crest of the hill and then at the window; it was really Wilkerson who, after one satis- fled glance, rode swiftly away to- ward Valle Vista.
 It was midnight when he rapped at the door of the railroad station and called the sleepy agent waiting for the express. This is the telegram he sent:
 "Valle Vista, Cal. "Jean Darnell, Astor House, New York City, N. Y.:
 "Have found Gallon at last. Ad. dress Master Key Mine tomorrow. ''Wilkerson." Who was Jean Darnell? We'll, she had mission of vengeance, too. In. cidentally, she welcomed money. Will kerson had to have it if he ever ex. pected to possess her. When Ruth came to make her fight, with the helr of her sweetheart, John Dore, she hal two crafty persons to deal with.
