equal to the yearly interest the govern

the Italian government Is good, and the
burden Of interest carried by her peo-
pie was greater than that Of the Uni

into Italy from the United States has
been equal to one-fifth of the amount
raised by the nation as revenue from
all sources, or more than one-hah OF
the gross amount received by the ma
ton from its total export trade. With
the exodus from America or Italian
reservists, this outflow will be greatly
diminished at a time OF greatly in
creased expenditure.
There has been q tremendous emf
graStion of labor from Italy during the
past years Of peace. Some of this was

States and to South American coun-
tries, and returned with their saw
ings. Most of the emigration has been
permanent however. 1t has all been
forced by reason Of insufficient work

starvation margin. Most of the italian
adventures afield have come to this
country, Argentina being the next most
favored. In Italy the laborer works
from 10 to IL hours a day for 40 cents
or less.
The Italians are thrifty. They bar
gain with all of the relish of the East,
and stores with one price, such as
the rest of Europe and America de-
mand, would not be appreciated in
Italy. where no one ever expects 70
pay the price asked. The poor buy their
supplies in pennyworths, and haggle
over ever pennyworth.
I'm recent years, both the products
of Italian farms and factories have
Increased largely. The Germans have
been the best customers and the larg-
est sellers to Italy. The United States
has been second on the list of custom
ers, but it has not sold much to Italy

dependent upon the raw materials OF

Mrs. w. L. Stearns and Mrs. Oliver
L. Johnson. of Norwich, have been ap-
pointed members Of the National Com
mittee of the Woman's Section of the
Navy League of the United States to
organize the local work of that body in
arousing the women Of the United
States to the necessity in the present
days of strife and peril to work for
the ends of patriotism and national de-
Tense. They will act in conjunction
with a body of more than a thousand
of the most prominent women in every
section Of the United States, num-
bering among them Mrs. William Cum
ming Story, President General d A. R.,
Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, Presi-
dent General Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, Mrs. George Dewey, Miss Anne

Mrs. Medill Mccormick. Mrs. Ralph
Beaver Strassburger, Miss Julia Mar
lowe, Mrs. George Harvey and a host
of others.
The Woman's SECTION Of the Navy
League is the first and only woman's
organization in this country working
for the cause of patriotism and ma
tional defense. 1t was organized by a
number of patriotic women in Wash
ington whose husbands were members
of the mems Navy League, who
thought that women ought to have
some part in the National Defense
movement exclusively their own. The
sections call to the women of Amer
lea to rally to the cause of patriotism
instantly struck a responsive keynote
in the hearts and imaginations of the
patriotic women all over the country,
and the section has spread like Wild
fire. Letters have been received from
prominent women all over the country,
enthusiastically endorsing the League,
and memberships have been pouring in
at the rate of several thousand a day.
At present, although the work has
been in progress only a little more
than two weeks, the Section has over
ten thousand active working members,
| and enthusiasm runs high. In the va
rious localities in which the Section
builds up strong organizations other
paseants will be held. Boards of Trade
and Commercial and Political bodies Of
ali sorts will be visited and no effort
| will be spared to point out to the law
makers of the country the necessity

West Virginia Governor
Is Serving Without Pay
BY Associated Press

Charleston, w. Va, April 2.-It de-
veloped to-day that one of the State
officials who is not drawing his sal
ary. because of the failure of the late
Legislature to appropriate funds for
the running expenses Of West Virginia,
is Governor Henry D. Hatfield. John
S. Darst, State auditor, has asked A. A.
Lilly. attorney general, for an opinion
as to whether he can borrow money
until such time as the legislature can
be called together to make the recess
sary appropriations and the attorney
general has come back with request
for a statement of the moneys ex-
pended by Darst and for what pur-
poses during the past several years.
Meanwhile the unusual condition is
being felt in all parts of the State.
Country schools are being closed, high
schools placed on part time. and COM
panies of the National Guard are being
mustered out. The effort to have the
Legislature meet without expense to the
State and pass appropriation bills
seems to have failed, and there is no
relief in sight.
