irreconcilable.
On several occasions Italy has en-
deavored to produce proof that Aus
tria was bent upon dominating Ser
bia, and that all that was sought was
an occasion. Former Premier Gtoltttf,
who now, as an opponent Of war, has
fled from Rome, several months ago
made public correspondence with the
Italian ambassador to Vienna to in
dictate that Austria had intended to-
force matters with Serbia in 1913.
The Italian green book just issued
relates that Austria's demand in ex-
change for making any territorial
concessions to Italy was free hand
in the Balkans.
The Italians would persuade the
| world that Austrian aggression
against Balkan states and her deter
mfnation to control the Adriatic and
cut a way through to the Aegean. wa'
destined to bring general war soon
er or later, and that the war when
it came would be disastrous to Ital-
ian interests even If Italy declined
to be drawn into it with her allies.
The Italians make their claim for
moral justification upon these argu-
ments: that the alliance was used
Progressively for Austrian and against
Italian interests and that it was i'm
possible to maintain even position
Of benevolent neutrality and await
an outcome which, without suitable
guarantees and concessions from Aus
, tria, would mean the limiting of ltal-
ian growth. 49, ~,

Hostile action of France and the;

the willingness of Germany and Aus!

the triple alliance was formed. ~,
Z So far as Italy was concerned the
advantages of this alliance were rela,
tive and temporary. The natural di-ii
rection of Italian sympathies would
have been toward France, but In the
commercial rivalry <. for Tunisia
France had offended violently by a
coup de main, and in the Italian
resentment caused by the French mill
itary expedition and the establish

easier to reconcile the hostility to
Austria. s.} .... 9Th

papal independence was an even
more propelling factor in driving the
Italians to refuge in an alliance with
Germany and Austria where there
might be security from the ISSUE.
That alliance is now denounced:
and, although there will be an out
cry against a nation guilty of what
her enemies will call the perftdy of
turning against her allies, it must be
recognized that in the code of Eu-.
ropean principles, which is the sum
of the experiences Of. European ma.
tions, there is nothing higher than.
national need and opportunity and
no political immortality SO inexcus-
able as the neglect of either. =
That may be hateful creed, but
it is the one to which consistent de-
votion has been given. The useful
ness of. the triple alliance to Italy. in
these later years lay largely If not
entirely in the ability of the alliance

RoOSEVELT4WlNS.

Every reader of the newspaper re-
ports Of the evidence in the now
famous libel suit of Barnes against
Roosevelt has known for some time
that the fight was Roosevelt's.
When. Roosevelt charged the Repub-
lican boss of New York State with
official rottenness and criminal. con-
duct in public matters he evidently
knew what he was talking about.
Barnes commenced the suit for
political effect during the last elec-
ton, expecting without doubt that
some way; would be found to prevent
it from ever being tried. But the
suit afforded Roosevelt the opportun-
ity Of his life. 1t gave him: a chance
TO show by a, court trial good reasons
for, his. withdrawal from the Repub-
lican party. With the ability of an
army officer he closed every ave-
nue. by which . his adversary
might escape and drove. him to trial.
The verdict Of the. jury places Roose-
welt again in the saddle.

Why GERMAN DIPLOMACY HAS
.is5 FAILED IN ITALY.f = :

Thus far the German armies have
surprised the world, friend and foe
alike, by their soldierly qualities and
fighting ability but their diplomats
have been unable to secure q single
advantage. or even hold their own.
Italy was member Of the Triple AL
lance, one Of Germany's partners,
and Germany and Austria have GER.
tainly offered Italy everything that
that country could reasonably ask
as the price OF its neutrality. .5sI.
Why has not Italy remained neu-
tral? There can be but one reason
able, answer to this question. Italy
has not placed any confidence in the
treaty promises OF her late ally since
her late ally SO ruth lessly broke her
treaty with Belgium. & The ghost Of
that t.'scrap &of paper has undone
all that the German diplomats could
do. Who could assure the Italians
that their treaties would not become
scraps of paper as soon4 as the war
was over? ;. 3. va rs =. { ss$

The Scientific American is what
its name implies, a newspaper devot-
ed to science; but, in its issue of
the 18th inst, it went outside Of its
accustomed field and under the

we extract the following sentences:
1T is fortunate thing for the
people of this United States that
they have at the head Of the Gov
