ROME, March 27-Everyone is for war. Both official and private circles
 talk of nothing else but the entrance of the government into the great maels- ltrom of the European war on all sides the preparations for the long expected plunge are plainly visible and every preparatory measure is now being taken by the government. The govern ment has made no definite announce ment but the report that Prince Von Buelow is ready to depart at a mo- ment's notice is ample indication that
 the weight of Italy will be thrown with the allies. It is said that the German 'ambassador remarked last evening that he had held out all possible induce

 to the Italian government but that nothing could be done owing to the impossible demands of the Italians Today the people are tense and are lawaiting the final moment which is expected to come at any time. Troops are being rushed by the tens of thou sands to the border and the entire

Sl, ,500. .000 R. R. CONTRACT SAID TO HAVE
 BEEN SIGNED THIRTY DAYS AGO

WASHINGTON, Marcn 27-Alas- ans throughout the east are jubiliant over the announcement that the long expected decision of Attorney General McReynolds allows the President full scope in the matter of purchasing the Alaska railroads and that the purchase of the Alaska Northern railroad run ming north from Seward is practically concluded. The momentous decision of the Attorney General not only gives the President full power to contract for the purchase of any or all existing roads but also decides that he may avail himself of the full appropriation of thirty five million dollars for such purpose.
 According to the decision the Pres dent has full authority to contract for Alaska roads, today or at any time he sees so fit and may enter into any de- srable form or contract for acquirinq them even to the extent of obliqatinq tho government up to the full limit of the appropriation.
 This removes the last obstacle with which the administration has been confronted in dealing with the railroad matter and there is little reason to doubt that the work of construction will now progress with all possible dispatch, Closely following the an nouncement of the decision of the At torney General, it was made public that negotiations for the purchase of the Alaska Northern, on the basis of the estimated valuation of one million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. were practically closed and the actual transfer is but matter of a few days. some little time will be required to ad- just some few matters which will in no way affect the final eonsumation The purchase price of one million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is

Referring to this destructive element the President said in part: There are a great many people, not so many that they give me particular concern, but nevertheless a great many people who, in the language of the day are trying to rock the boat The boat is too big for them to rock They are such light material that they cannot rock it very much, but the are going through the motions.

WASHINGTON, March 27.--Presi- dent Wilson, addressing the annual session of the Methodist Episcopal church in the South declared that there was a constant tendency displayed in certain quarters to undo the efforts of the administration to bring about much needed reforms in the political and economic conditions of the country and that efforts, almost reasonable in character. were constantly forced on the attention of the administration by the political demagogues who seek to discredit the administration through any means within their power

said by members of the railroad com mission to be reasonable and is the valuation placed on the rolling stock and additional property belonging to the company by Eugene Underwood. brother of the Alabama Congressman who was one of the engineers employed by the Railtoad Commission during the past year Although no formal an nouncement of the terms of the nego- tiations have been made public 1t is stated that one half of the purchase price will be paid down at the time of transfer and the balance in two years.
 It is clear that the government nl- tends to push matters as rapidly us possible and every effort will be made present time in order 10 facilitate the actual construction work which will be inaugurated with the development of summer conditions in the territory. In pursuance of this policy party is now being dispatched to Seattle for the purpose of establishing a purchasing agency for the railroad commission. This agency will have the handling of all needed supplies and will be the acquisition depot for the purchase of such materials as will be used in the railroad operations during the present summer It has also been learned that steps have already been taken to select such railroad material as may be available in the Panama Canal zone and S. p. Warren one of the commission Engineers is now in Panama for that purpose. According to statements made by the board of engineers there
 is a vast quantity of material at the canal which can be employed in the work of construction and practically all rolling stock including a number of locomotives can he used in Alaska

In September this year Crown Prince
Humbert of Italy will be eleven years
old. Already the duties of a man
have fallen on his shoulders in some
instances.
The prince is being carefully coached
in the art f naval warfare. A special
instructor is teaching him everything
about warships there is to know, so
that when he becomes old enough he
will be in command of his courtry's
feet.
Ever since the start of the great
European war it was thought Italy
would join in the fighting. OF course
the prince would be too young to be
of any service now If his country was
