Italy in the War

Every day apparently brings Italy nearer to the edge of the While it is true that all the news relating the Italian situation from the allies, there is little doubt that causes exist and reasons are multiplying for nay's participation the side Of the allies. Though Italy a member of the Triple Alliance, it rather for geographica! reasons At the time of the formation of the al- liance there was no probability that a would occur on the lines of the present Though there was any love between Italy and Austria-on the contrary friction because of the Italian claims upon Trente and Trieste-the two countries had lines of the Balkans The dominating influence of Austria was held in check by the alliance sf which the most powerful member Germany
 When the war broke out, it evident that Italian interest lay the of the allies Not only would the utter defeat of Germany and Aus tra probably give to Italy the coveted territory in the north but it would at the same time increase her influence in the Balkans. National sentiment was also strongly favorable to France. and this sen timent was increased by the intervention of Turkey a traditional enemy of Italy
 Germany sought the restoration of Trieste and rente as the price of Italian neutrality but the stub bornness of Austria prevailed in the face of her dismemberment and destruction in the case of the success of the allies to which the participation of Italy would greatly contribute.
 Austria has ever been blind and headstrong It may be as the allies news inform us, that she is contemplating a separate peace with Russia, but that is improbable, for no terms she could expect from her northern neighbor would be light as the surrender of the southern territory recog milton of old Italian claim.

For the Rule of the Majority

Tine Young election bill before the California legislature proposes do what the recently amended primary law of this state proposes shall not be done 10 wipe out party lines and to give a majority os The people and not a majority of party the power to select it's official servants. It may be- many people suppose that parties necessary to government. In fact. may concede that they necessary. Organization is necessary, but parties should be protected in wrongdoing to leave a majority powerless to enforce it's will.
 The Young election bill will destroy par ties but it will make parties more careful in the selection of candidates for office. It vii! make party machines impossible Party leaders will find it poftess to force improper candidates upon the party The officers elected under such system. if not best will be those whom a majority of the people regardless of party, believe to be the best. In them will be expressed the will of the majority
 The epithet the officehoders' delight" has applied the Young election bill because suppose if official has performed his duty. he has gained the of voters of all parties and would therefore be strongly entrenched in office that it would difficult replace him. He would still be the choice of a majority of the people who in the proper conduct of officials than they are rotation in office in party cess
 But. if an official has not made good though he might be a member o a strongly dominant party, he would regard law which would deprive him the support of the rank and file of his party officeholders' delight"
 We are not sure that tke effect of amended primary law will be what the partisan framers and promoters of it intended it should be. We doubt very much whether it will the growing tend ency of voters to independence of party but we rather suspect that it will drive them out of their parties. declare their affiliations with party candidates before the primary appear to them be superior the candidates of any other party.
 The time has passed believe when voters be shackled, and amended primary law would impose upon them galing shackles than American voters have borne, in the period of their most ahject servitude to party

CALM IN WEST
 FIGHT IN EAST
The Carpathians Are Again to the Fore as Scene of Most Desperate Strug gle-Russians Claim Prog ress is Made
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

LONDON, March 27.-Comparativc
 calm in the west and heavy fighting
 in the eastern war zone character
 ized the war campaign. The Car
 pathians are again to the fore as
 the scene of a most desperate strug
 gle. for along the chain of mountains
 both Russians and Austrians nave
 brought up large achievements and
 have engaged battle upon the deci
 sive turn of which much depends The Russians claim to have made progress. which as usual differs from the claim set up by the Ans trians who declare the Russian at tacks miscarried, with heavy losses. In the Vosges the French success in capturing the heights of Hart manns Weilerkopf, near Muelhaasen is admitted by the Germans. This strategic position has been the ob- iect for which the opposing forces have been fighting desperately fo' several days, as it dominates the surrounding country.
 Great interest centers in the pos sibe entrance of Italy into the v'2r. The action of Rumania and Bulgaria is to some extent dependent upon that of Italy. and Rome dispatches report the Italian government has has completed all the measures pr9- paratory to hostilities.
 An interesting report in this con nection is contained in a Sofia dis patch which says that German Field Marshal GoltZ, who was F. gently sent on a mission to the Bui garan capital. has been authorized to offer Bulgaria on behalf of Fur key, that territory north of a line drawn from Enos to Nidia in re- turn for Bulgarias neutrality.

 Off Fight One Day
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

HAVANA, March 27-Havana is big fight to be staged on Monday, April ,, when Jack Johnson will defend his title of heavyweight champion against Jess Willard The fight was postponed .a day owing to the great pressure brought on gov ernment officials on the ground that to hold the fight on Sunday would desecrate Easter.
 There is q discussion of reminis- cent scenes in Reno five years ago before the battle in which Johnson lowered the colors of Jim Jeffries, thereby establishing his right to the heavyweight title. There are count less rumors. and reports following a cerned in the fight, then came the announcement of postponement There is a surprising sentiment in Cuba against holding the fight on Sunday, despite the fact the first day of the week is a general holiday on the island. The objection was rais - ed by influential citizens in the Uni ted States. Wm Gonzales. minister from the United States and Presi- dent Menocal of Cuba received six hundred cable dispatches and te . legrams protesting against holding the fight on Easter Sunday.
