the country.
The army authorities have taken
control of the railroads, and all We
hicles, wagons and automobiles, as
well as all the horses in the king
dom, have been Communicated The
| censorship in Italy is much more
strict than that in France and Eng
land. 1t has been announced that no
newspaper correspondents will be
permitted to accompany the army
and nothing will be published regard
ing the operations beyond the ofiic-
ial announcements of the war office.
While the general mobilization or
der issued yesterday will bring about
100000 to the colors within a
month it is known that Italy will
start the war with about 1000 first
line troops At the outbreak of the
European war the italian army con
sisted of 100000 men. the classes
with the colors being those of 1891,
1892 and 1893 After the war start
ed two more classes, including about
100000 men joined the colors. Var
ious other changes recently made un-
der orders from General Zupelli, the
minister of war, brought the strength
up to 100000 at present.
1t is likely the army will be under
the direct command of General Cane
va, who led the Italian forces in the
conquest OF Tripoli, or General
Count Cadorna, the chief of the gen.
eral staff. In case the military oper-
ations call for division of the forces
into two units each of these officers
will have command of an army. Both
of them are said TO be soldiers of
great ability and full confidence is
felt that they will lead the troops of
Italy to victory. General Caneva is
the only living "gerale deli esercito,"
title which is granted only in time
of actual war He won the honor by
his Tripoli campaign.
Rumania's entry into the war is
now believed to be Il question of a
day or two, following ltaly's declara-

that Bulgaria might seize the oppor-
tunity to make an attack on Rumanla
have been allayed by the official
declaration that Bulgaria will keep
its hands Off
1t is not considered improbable,
too, that Bulgaria will invade Tur-
key in the hope of winning back Ar

Labors Share,

In some one Of the speeches which
Vice President Marshall has Of late
felt called upon to get out Of his sys-
tenn. he declared that the share of
labor in the products Of it's toll
amounts to less than one-fifth.'
This misstatement went blithely on
it's way for only brief period; and it
has now been overtaken by the truth
as found by committee Of the Ma
tional civic Federation, a body of sci
entific and non-partisan tendencies
and with a holy passion for facts.
The census Of 1900 showed a gross
annual product Of s2.24O per worker.
This furnished the base-line for the
Civic Federation's investigation. and
the various steps in working out the
facts are interesting to follow. The
$3.50 is gross product. The cost of
ma terials was s1,395 per worker, which
must be deducted. There is left s1,025
as the product per worker. Deduct
ing taxes. insurance, royalties and SO
on, the product falls to $3.50 per work
er, and of this amount $500 and not
s437 went TO the worker and $299 to
capitalists per cent to labor and 1885,
per cent to capital. But plant must be
allowed to depreciation charge, which
at ) per cent is given as s124 per work
err. This leaves 1854 to be divided, or
practically so per cent to labor and 20
per cent to capital as interest and
profits.
In other words, Mr.. Marshall had the
figures right, but he put them in the
wrong place. His less than one
fifth" is the share Of capital in the
product Of the country; while four
times as much goes to labor.
The Civic Federation is now en-
gagged in a study of census returns Of a
later date than those of 1900, and it is
interesting to know that these demon
strate that labor's share in the product
of the country is increasing. The
chief cloud upon this bright outlook
now is that, owing to the tariff laws
which reduce or obliterate the protec-
ton to American labor labor's oppor-
tunity to produce anything but war
materials is becoming most seriously
curtailed. 1t is obvious that it makes
no difference what labor's share Of the
product is if labor has no opportunity
to produce.

recently handed down. It constitutes
a fine example Of Democratic legisla-
tive inaptitude.
The second was the administration s
pet measure of government ownership
and operation of the merchant marine.
This contemplated legislation Of a
character SO odoriferous that even the
Democratic senators were obliged to
hold their noses. Seven of them
baked outright and refused to swal
low it. The bill was defeated and
these seven senators were benched. by
Senator Bill Stone for poor team
work"
Two measures of encouragement
were enacted. One. the La Toilette
law, was SO loaded with regulations
and entailed such increase of operat-
ing expenses that two OF the largest
lines operating under the American
flag will on November Ind when the
law becomes effective haul down those
colors and hoist a foreign flag in order
to escape the restrictions. Other lines
have announced their intention Of do
ing likewise.

Who Was to Blame?

For the moment we are turned from
disaster at home. One thousand men.
women and children have been sacri-
ldced. it would appear. by the negii-
.gence Of some one. Investigation will
reveal the cause. We must await the
report. Oficials of the company that
owns and operates the steamer East
land have been held pending full in
curry. Did these officials neglect
some of the precautions necessary to
human safety, or did the company
gamble on the chances of their boat
continuing to earn dividends when she
was known to be dangerously top
heavy? The underwriters seem to
have had faith in the steamer, as did
the steamboat inspectors.
The burning Of the excursion steam
er General Slocum in the East River
at New York, is recalled, with the
scandal that followed. Let us hope
'that no man has the present disaster
on his conscience. It was not a case
of useless life preservers with the
Eastland-there was no time for life
preservers-the setamer turned over
,on her side while tied up at the wharf.
Many theories are heard, but almost
any Of them hinge on the chances
taken on all these lives by some in
dividual for personal comfort If the
crew had opened the headlights be-
cause of the intense heat, then upon
these men rest the blame, perhaps II
the owners, TO save expense, had done
away with the guard stationed to see
that the headlights were not carelessly
opened. then the blame shifts. in a
measure. If the boat was improperly
Gballasted, then we must turn in anoth-
er direction if overloaded what then ?
Out of the lesson will grow added
precautions. and a dropping of care
less practices in other craft. 1t is safe
to say that the day of the Eas1land as
an excursion steamer is done. Her
record is a bad one and topped by
catastrophe.

Tho War Fever.

Planning to prepare themselves for
military duty in case this country
should be called to arms. hundreds of
professional and business men are
sWarming to army headquarters at
New York to enroll for the four weeks
of training that the government is to
provide next month in a special school
camp up at the Plattsburg army post
Though the younger college graduates
make up the largert part of this volun-
teer squad of recruits. eager for the
schooling of an army officer, many of
its members are men Of middle age
who are dropping weighty business to
qualify for possible service at arms.
So prompt and earnest has been the
response to such rally calls everywhere
of late. one can but feel that the war
spirit has infected all the earth. and
that a government call for patriotic
service would sweep this country like
wildfire. The talk of bomb outrases
by foreign born citizens in case of a
declaration of war is reckoning with
out the cost-God pity the poor fool
making such an attempt and discov-
cred
