LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

years, I was much delighted to know his innocence had recently been proven be- yond any shadow of doubt. I learned this morning from The Age-Herald ac- cording to Prof. Langdon, of Oxford university, that 1t was Noah instead of Grandfather Adam who bit the apple. As said, I was much delighted with this brand new information. And still I don t see that 1t will change the situation so very much, after all, except that we should not say, Adams apple any longer, but from now on just call that little thing under your chin Noah S apple" and go on ROB ADAMS.

Rome, March 13.-The Italian gov
erlment continues to maintain an i'm
penetrable silence regarding negoti-
ations reported under way with Aus
tria concerning territorial concessions
There is persistent reports from
Rome to the effect that Austria has
refused even TO discuss the cessation
of Trics'e and would concede only
a small part of the province OF Trent.
The assertion is made in military
circles that Italy now is prepared for
any eyentuality. 1t is said that Italy
now desires share of Turkey as the
price for keeping out. A certain Sec
tion of the people are urging the
government to throw itself with the
Allies while there is yet time The
people fear the government will lose
its opportunity, if action, is long de-
ferred.
