Italy United Heart and
Soul for War, Asserts
Student of Economics

ITALY Is united heart and soul for
war. The real reason for the delay
has been that the nation has been per-
fecting herself and her army" says
Prof. Vittorio Racca. head Of the Ital-
ian department of New York Univer-
sity, and instructor In political econ
omy, in a recent interview.
You have no idea" he continued, "to
what perfection the mobilizing of the
whole nation has been brought. Every
man and woman of whatever ago, even
every public school boy, knows exactly
what he or she Is to do at the outbreak
OF war-and exactly how to do 1t. They
have all been trained for months past
and now that the time has come they
will not be wanting.
From the very beginning the King
has shown himself an Italian, and proof
against any foreign influenced He
showed 1t in his marriage to n princess
been an eager student of the Italia
lrredenta' question.
Questioned as to the recent cabinet
crisis, DR.. RacCa. who speaks with au-
thority. as he has held important posi-,
tions under the Italian government, put
the whole blame ipon Signor Giolitti.
For fifteen years. he said, GiolItti,
whether nominallv in office or in oppo-
! sitlon. has been the political dictator OF
the country. His rule was purely per-
sonal, and so little did he care for the
ordinary party divisions that he would
always allv himself with the clericals
against the radicals, the radicals against
the clericals, with both or either against
the socialists and so forth, as the die
tates OF his opportunism led him. He
| behaved. in a word, exactly like an
American boss" retaining his power

lowers to reap their share OF the spoils

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. May n.-Ca-
toma creek is Montgomery county's IA
vorite watering place and fishing resort,
but they are not doing any fishing there
just now. The population Of that sec
tion has turned out en- masse to dig for
buried treasure.
A short time ago the county Jail held
four alleged train robbers. men who
were supposed to have got away with
$50 900 In hold-up of an Alabama Great
southern train at Ribbville. In their
corridor at the Jail was a wild-eyed,
freckled and inquisitive country boy who
hailed from tho banks Of the Catoma.
The boy administered a daily third de-
gree to his companions. going something
like this:
Where do you reckon your could fnd
place to hide all that money!"
Tired of his constant queries, one Of
the suspects finally said:
We hid It at the Catoma creek
bridge; but don't you tell anybody.
The boy was released from jail q few
days afterward. Since his return to
Catoma tho population has abandoned
FARMING and taken up treasure hunting
as daily pursuit. A hundred or more
farmers are digging up the banks of
the creek for miles around the old
bridge, while a wild-eyed, freckled and
inquisitive youngster watches expect

Germany's Decision in
Maria Case Attracts
Attention to the FRYE

In view Of the information that the
German government has referred the
William p. Frye case to prize court In
Hamburg, news with respect to the treat
ment OF the Dutch vessel. Maria, which
was enrouts from Belfast to Dublin with
grain last September. and which was
sunk by a German vessel. Ii attracting
notice in Washington today.
The Dutch owners put in a claim for
the vessel and a claim for the grain.
The prize court has disallowed both.
This was in the face OF the fact the
Dutch owners submitted evidence to
show the grain was destined for prf-
vate mills. The prize court took the
position that Dublin was a base for the
English feet and therefore the grain
would have to be considered contraband.
In the case of the Frye. no Ameri-
can claim has been put in for the cargo
of flour, since 1t had been sold to Eng.
In for the vessel which was sunk by
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
The Maria was sunk by the Karls-
ruhe according to one statement and
according to another. was torpedoed by
a German submarine. In any event
the circumstances surrounding this case
were closely akin to the circumstances
of the Frye case.
The German prize court has held that
both Belfast and Dublin are bases for
the fleet 1t is said that Queenstown
| to which the Frye was destined, Is look
ed on in the same light by the prize
court.
The State Department has given out
nothing further on tho reference Of the
| Frye case to the prize court at Ham
burg, which was interpreted in some
quarters as an abrupt reply to the
American request that 1t be adjusted
outside of prize court, in order tc
avoid delay.
But the decision in the case of the
| Maria has attracted attention of inter.
national experts. and has raised doubts
whether the claim for the Frye viii
be allowed.

was devoted almost solely to the IN
depreciation of Sections 52ll. 52lS, and
$40 of the Revised Statutes, relating
to the duties of the Comptroller ana
the requirements exacted OF national
oanks. Assuming. he argued, that the
comptroller had right to ask tor inc
special reports concerning the past
transactions of the RIGGS Bank, the
comptroller had taken the law into MS
own hands and had defied 1t:
