London, May 2l.-Any lingering
hope that Italy would maintain her
neutrality was abandoned tonight
when the Italian chamber conferred
on the government extraordinary
powers in the event of wars out
break.
This is considered vote for war,
for which the government has made
all preparations and the prospects of
which have aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm Italy.
The German and Austrian minis
tiers were still in Rome tonight, but
according to Berlin dispatches their
one care now is to arrange for the
safety of their nationals remaining
in Italy.
A formal declaration of war, or
perhaps action without a formal
declaration, is expected momentum
ly. At any rate, all preparations
for naval and military action have
been made on both sides and it is
possible that while the Italian pre-
mier, Signor Salandra, was explain
ing to the cabinet and the world the
policy of his government, the troops
on the frontier and the navies in the
Adriatic had anticipated diplomatic
action.
Italy naturally will have to look
first to her frontier. but it is expect
ed that her entrance into war will
compel Austria and perhaps G,
many also to withdraw some tr

hit about 40 houses, was turned down
good many times, but finally sue
ceeded in getting a couple of hand

hungry. I could chew my belt and
digest the soles of my brogans. By
the way, is there something opening
up? Do you think there's a chance
for a job somewhere"
Hell no, Tom. Jobs are about as
scarce as hens teeth in a straw stack
nothing doing along that line. The
devil only knows when Wen get our
next chance at a job"
"This life is not what it's cracked

The speakers were typical repre-
