Conflict.
BY RRlxToN ALLAlRE.

International News Service Correspondent.
Rome, April 28.-'Italy will not par
ticipate in the war. BY remaining
neutral she will win a greater victory
than would be possible were she to
enter either one of the hostile camps.
This statement was made to the In
ternational News Service staff CORE
spondent by an official of tie Italian
government. For obvious reasons, he
requested that his name should not be
used -
A Kaleidoscope change in the stu
alton has developed during the last
"a hours. No stronger evidence OF
this fact than the foregoing statement.
Important code dispatches were sent
to Berlin and Vienna by the German
and Austrian ambassadors. These are
believed to have an important Dear
ing upon Italy's foreign relations, as
their transmission followed a confer
ence between Foreign Minister Son
nino and Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man ambassador. This meeting took
place at the foreign Office, and at its
conclusion Prince Won BueloW hurried
to the Austrian embassy where Baron
Won Macchio, the Austrian envoy, was
awaiting him.
The official who stated that Italy
would not enter the war SAID
that a full statement of the interna-
tional situation as it involved ltaly
would be made by Signor Sonnino 70

This statement is expected to

Another Shark story.

Passengers arriving at; New York by
the transatlantic liners bring strange
stories, not all of which are based on
the war. Some time ago shark was
swimming along in the wake ora ship
catching all the refuse threWnSOver-
board. One of the sailors. who had
a well-founded antipathy for affsharks,
determined to try a new 1hefffed of
soaring the shark away, With this
end in view he procured. an alarm
clock, which he carefully wound and
set to go off in 20 minutes. Then the
sailor tied the clock to a rope and
dropped it overheard. The shark in
stantly swallowed it. When the alarm
went off he was truly scared. The
shark manifested this in various ways.
He first stood on his hind legs and
turned somersaults. The big fish final
ly took refuge in flight, meanwhile
flashing the water furiously with his
tail. The other day this same shark
was captured by the same ship. When
the monster was drawn on deck by
the triumphant crew it was discovered
that he was the one who had swal-
lowed the clock. When he was cut
open the alarm went off again.

TOLD OF Won HINDENBURG
Many-eAnecdotes Concerning Famous
German Strategist Are Being
JS@fPut in Circulation.

OF thA telling of anecdotes about
the doughty Field Marshal Won Hin.
denburg. there is no end just now in
Germany. So huge is the fame won
by the victor of Tannenberg, Lodz. and
the Masurian lakes that anybody who
knows anything whatever about him,
important or unimportant, is hurrying
to have it printed in the German pa
pers for the delectation of linden
burg devotees.
Some of the things unearthed must
be distinctly embarrassing to the
grim old war dog. For instance, one
newspaper has discovered a poem dat
ing from 1886. written in the visitors
book of the castle of Kynast in ST.
lesia, which is declared to be the work
of him who is now the idol of Ger
many. The poem deals with the writ
ers thoughts as he looked out from
the towertof the castle over the land
scape spread below. AS might be ex-
pected, Hfhdenburg saw in that land
scape possible battlefield, and wrote
to that effect. Perusal of the verses
leaves the impression that he is bet
ter at fighting battles than writing
about them. +
The field marshals sister has also
raked up from his, past poem. This
one consists of :exactly three lines.
and is of waggfsh nature. His sis
ter had made a sketch of him on the
anniversary of the battle of Sedan.
showing him comfortably installed at
his PruSsian home, and her brother
wrote under it the three line poem,
which humorously contrasts the ex-
element of the day on which he took
part in that memorable battle with his
peaceful laziness on the anniversary.
Here is another Hindenburg anec-
dote recounted by his sister:
After the battle of Tannenberg last
August, when Hindenburg annihilated
a Russian army opposed to him, he
went to church In small village near
the battlefield. When the services
were over, hundreds of the villagers
crowded about his automobile, shout
ing their thanks to him for delivering
them from the Russian invaders. But
the victor cut short their demonstra-
tions by pointing brusquely upward
with his hand and saying:
Give thanks to: him up there"
Then he signaled to the chauffeur
to speed away.

Chatter
The Making of Pie.

The making of flaky pastry Is an
art not difficult to acquire. Success
lies in the mixing and handling or
the dough rather than In the proper
lions Of materials used. Recipes for
pastry may differ and produce equally
good results. Proper manipulation OF
the dough is the knack that must be
acquired
A rule TO be remembered In pastry
making Is that only light hands make
good pastry. Fine white flour makes
the lightest pastry, but this Is not
necessary except for puff paste. Ordi-
nary household -four can be used.
All 1ours, with their raising, should
be thoroughly sifted and aerated be-
fore mixing, butter and lard may be
used in equal proportions and pure
vegetable buffers or fats are excellent.
Heavily sailed cooking butter should
be avoided, as it is likely to have a
strong taste. Time and trouble will
be saved in the mixing If the fat, when
at all hard, Is first beaten to cream.
All pastry should be mixed with
very cold water. The board and pin
should be Toured lightly and the dough
rolled out with short, sharp rolls; lift

Control Thoughts For Lip Beauty.


The mouth Is often said to be the
greatest index to character. and the
beauty Of the mouth. more than any
other feature, depends upon the wo-
man herself. Thought and action are
the sculptors Of the mouth. and these
are under the individuals control. As
the lips are a nucleus of nerves sur
rounded by very many muscles. their
contour is changed with every passing
thought. and of all features they are
the most susceptible OF action and the
most direct indices Of the feelings.
Thin lips are formed by constant
thought and battle against minor diff
ticulties Persons OF weak will have
habitually compressed lips.
A woman can spoil a beautiful face
BY an unlovely expression of the
mouth. II Is therefore of vast impor-
tanre that you should give serious at
tention to the fact that the mouth Is
In such intimate sympathy with your
every thought and feeling
If you will cultivate "A critical facul-
ty you will find many curious and alb
surd tricks and mannerisms by which
otherwise attractive women are made
ugly.
Habitual pouting enlarges and coars-
ems the lower lip.
Do not twist your mouth, either in
scorn or thrust the mouth and chin
forward, as is often done under fan
cied sense of injury. These unfortu
nate contortions are often acquired by
initiating others or from just witness
Ing others actions. 1t therefore be-
hooves the woman TO be careful how
she uses her mouth. for there Is no
period In life when these subtle and
silent agents-the muscles end their
nerves-are not at work
making or marring the beauty Of the
face.
