Evening star., 1915-05-26

The triple alliance was essentially
defensive and designed solely to pre-
serve the status quo, or. in other words,
the equilibrium Of Europe That these
were its only objects and purposes is
established by the letter and spirit Of
the treaty as well as by the intentions
clearly described and set forth in off,
cial acts Of the ministers who created
the alliance and confirmed and renewed
1t in the interest of peace, which al
ways has inspired Italian policy.
The treaty. as long as its intents and
purposes had been Loyalty Interpreted
and regarded. and as long as it had not
been used as a pretext for aggression
against others, greatly contributed to
the elimination and settlement of
causes Of conflict. and for many years
assured to Europe the inestimable ben
efits of peace.
But Austria Hungary severed the
treaty by her own hands. She re-
jected the response of Serbia, which
gave to her all the satisfaction she
could legitimately claim. She refused
to listen to the conciliatory proposals
presented by Italy in conjunction with
other powers, in the effort to spare
Europe from q vast conflict certain to
drench the continent with blood and to
reduce it to ruin beyond the concep-
ton Of human Imagination. and finally
she provoked that conflict

Usual and Necessary Obligation.

Article / Of the treaty embodied the
usual and necessary obligation OF such
pacts-the pledge to exchange views
upon any political and economic ques-
tions Of a general nature that might
arise. Pursuant to its terms none Of
the contracting parties had the right
to undertake., without a previous
agreement. any step the consequence
of which might impose duty upon
the other signatortes arising out of
the alliance, or which would in any
way whatsoever encroach upon their
vital interests. This article was vio-
lated by Austria-Hungary when she
sent to Serbia her note dated July %,
1914 an action taken without the pre-
vious assent of Italy.

We all have our little snascots, and
thcy bring much comedy and also
some tragedy into our lives. for we
can seldom carry them with us when
we leave for other climes, and there
are heartaches at parting, even be-
tween a puppy, a cat or a bird and
yourself.
When the Famous Players studio
burned many of our little pets were
lost, and we have gricved about
them ever since. There were canaries
and kittens and a couple Of rascally
pups that used to steal into our dress
ing rooms when we left the doors
open and pillage. like Chinese pir-
ates, our shoe closets or baskets or
wardrobe.

cross | was with him, and | had to
smile in spite Of myself.

tie canary, a gay little fellow-feathcr-
cd thing, with the voice of a raven.

came from his throat in spite of the
fact that a very imposing ticket was
attached to the top OF his cage
Guaranteed to Sing"
| named him Billy, and because he
was tame | grew very fond of him,
allowing him to fly around the room
and perch on my drcssing-room table
while / was putting on my makeup.
The process always seemed to inter
est him, and he watched me out OF
his little black, bcady eyes, with his
head perkcd on one side, as inrpcr-
tinent as a critic.
If | could understand bird Ian

Billy, and all made suggestions as to

that if | bought another bird | was

jealous, would out-warbIc the new
arrival
So | bought what they called a
German Roller, and installed him as
Billy's singing teacher. Coming into
my dressing room one afternoon,
Billy and the new bird flew to my
shoulder and seemed very much
pleased with themselves. There was
such a chattering in bird language,
and when | reached my dressing
room table, my eyes interpreted what

MOTOR GOSSIP

This afternoon at 4 O'Clock the members
of the Electric Vehicle Association VIII
gather at Castellfs restaurant for their
annual Christmas party. All are ex-
pcctei to he on hand to receive their
Christmas present.
Traffic regulations are not made for
tho convenience Of some. but for the
::re-test good for the greatest number.
There are a few motorists in this city
Who seem to he under the impression
that they are the only ones using the
streets, and as a consequence. can dis
regard the signals Of the traffic officers
hv failing TO stop at his signal, or. II
thcy do stop. to pull halfway across
the street instead of remaining back 10
the curb line. By the former method.
they endangcr NOT only themselves but
PEDESTRIANS and other motorists who on
dcavor to comply with the law. In fol-
lowing the latter method of pulling half
way across the street and then stopping
they block traffic going at right angles
TO themselves and who. at the particu-
lar time. have the right of way.
II this class would please remember
that they ar" now in large city and
not in the small village. A favor would
be conferred upon the majority OF the
people. both pedestrians and motor-car
owners.
Since the Cadillac Eight has appear
ed with the coat of arms of Antoine
dc Ia Mothe Cadillac on its radiator
a distinguishing mark. Rudolph
Jose. of the Cook & Stoddard Company
local representatives of the car, has
been kept busy explaining Just what
it means. While the available books
on heraldy do not convey any direct
information on the subject. Mr.. Jose
with his usual persistency has dug
up the following facts:
In the upper left and lower right
quarters appear six fowls. These are
cygnets. or young swans. They sym.
bolize purity of descent The crest
above the shield is the crown of a
vicomte-or vicount in English-indi-
eating the rank of Cadillac's nobility
Dictionaries of heraldry define the
black bars across the quarters con-
tanning the swans ''barrulets" and
say they symboize "one who sets the
bar of conscience and religion anc
honor against angry passions and evi
temptations" The blue as seen iT
the emblem on the radiator of the
car denotes loyalty and truth; tn,
gold. generosity and elevation of mind
and the red still other virtues.
The ancient coat of arms was a gen
eral symbol of the ideals of the family
to which il belonged. and its whole
meant considerably more than a mere
aggregate of its parts. To the ole
leaders like Cadillac. the family es
cutcheon was a sacred thing. and II.
degra adation was to be avoided or pre-
vented at all costs. even il that meant
giving up ones life.
