AFTER lTALY'S DECISION

|
in sight. Italy may indeed be a Sc
we're sufferer for a long time to
come. Austria has prepared we'll to
defend her frontier, and to crash
down from her mountain crags upon
the Italian plain. All the initial ad-
vantage is with Austria because the
mountain line is hers, and it is pow
erfully held. For Italy to invade
Austria must be an affair of vast diff
ficulty. On the other hand, if Aus
tria sends an army down into Italy
it will be in danger of the fate that
the Russians have been suffering: of
being hammered to pieces against
the mountains at it's back.
There are few more difficult
regions7n the world for carrying on
a decisive campaign on the scale of
this wars operations. 1t is likely
that for considerable time to come
the appearance of Italy will be
chiefly important because it will
complete the bottling-up of the Ger
manic federation by way of the
Mediterranean, and will compel di-
version of a large Germanic force to
watch Italy.
But despite all this, Italy's move
nevertheless points the way to the
wars end. 1t is long step toward
ringing the Teuton empires about
with enemies in arms. Roumania,
with half million troops, is ready;
it has held back because it feared
Bulgaria would hurl herself into
Roumania if Roumania should
strike at Austria. But today brings
the seemingly authoritative state
ment that Bulgaria has promised to
keep hands off Roumania. Even
more than this, in fact; for Bulgaria
is disposed to strike against Turkey
while Roumania dashes against Aus
tr1a.
So Austria finds herself menaced
by Russia, Italy, Servia, Roumania;
Turkey faces the navies and the
armies of the allies, and may have
Bulgaria presently attacking her
flank; while Greece halts on the
verge of war, the nation anxious to
get in for a final lunge at the hated
Turk, while its dynasty through Ger
manic connections tries to hold it
back.
In truth, Greece would prove
very important figure in the war
now, for it has magnificent army
that could unite with the Franco
British force that is assailing the
Dardanelles from the Gallipoli pen
insula. Without much doubt Greece
could put forth enough force, in
just the right place, to settle issues
around Constantinople, end the Otto
man power in Europe, and release
the allies forces in that quarter to
take part directly against Germany
and Austria.
Every analysis of the situation
and it's possibilities emphasizes the
fact that the new pressure all bears
on Austria, rather than on Germany.
Austria may be crushed at last; but
Germany will stand, the giant of the
north; perhaps not much weakened,
after all, by the loss of Austria's
support, for she has had to send
German legions constantly to help
hold up Austrian power. Austria
broken down, Germany would have
her back to the wall and the war
would enter a new phase, with lines
shorter and the most desperate of
all its encounters yet to come.

NORTH MAIN STREET FIRE,
 CAUSE IS A MYSTERY.
Empty Oil Can Found in the Cellar
 Papers and Boxes Burning.


 Fire of unknown origin broke out In the cellar of the office of the Shetucket Coal and Wood company at No. 2e3 North Main street at 1.45 o'clock this (Monday) morning, but prompt work by the department prevented the flames from gaining headway. The autochemical from the Central station and Chemical company No. 1 from the Main street station responded to the alarm pulled in from box 22e, North Main and Erin streets. The flames, which were confined to papers and boxes. were squelched in short order by chemical.
 How the fire started is a mystery. Both cellar doors were unlocked and the coal yard gate was not locked, al- though the hasp was in place. Officer Michael Dwyer. who patrols the North Main street beat. noticed nothing wrong when hel passed the place at 1e-40 a. m. His lunch hour Is from 1 to 2. and it was during this time that the fire broke out. None of the few who collected nt the scene manifested any knowledge as to who pulled in the box. The supposltion that the fire may possibly have been set is strength ened by the fact that this Are is one of a series that have occurred in the past two or three years in that gem eral vicinity. Nearly all of these fires have occurred at about the same time. that is while the policeman on the beat was at lunch. An empty oil can was picked up in the cellar.

Our New Store

Far beyond our expectation has been the result of our move. Location, while not quite as centraL is so near the center that our old trade all say, "a delightful change. " The new market is most sani- tary.
 Ventilated by screened win dows gives us perfect air. A special tile-lined glass front fruit and vegetable refrigera- tor gives us the only fruit re- frigerator in Norwich.
 To appreciate the new market is to see it.
 We ask the public to come in. This larger store allows a better display than at the old stand. Quality lords a speciality.
 Our rent and expense is about one-half and we will share our savings with our trade by quoting the lowest prices on quality goods.
 Come to market.
