The Rise Of Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has had a curious his
tory. Cabot, sailing from Bristol. dis
covered it in 1897. and in 1888 Sir
Humphrey Gilbert annexed its wild
and rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth
Yet until 1870 years ago it was illegal to
build a permanent house there. The
island was held by merchant adven-
turers" for the sake OF the fisheries
They hired their fishermen in England
took them across the Atlantic each
spring and brought them back at the
commencement of winter.
Newfoundland Importance in the
cod fishery arises to a great extent
from the fact that it Is only within her
waters that the small fish desirable as
bait can be obtained in the necessary
quantities.-London Telegraph.

ITALY's ENTRANCE AWAITED.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Oficial circles
here regard Italy's decision to send
an army 10 the relief of Serbia as
the most important development in
weeks. The military and diplomatic
results. ii is believed, will be ire
mendous.
With Italy throwing her weight
against the invaders OF Serbia in
cooperation with the other entente
powers, quick and favorable results
are expected for the allied negotia-
tions in Athens. Strong influence
also will be exerted on Roumania.
With the arrival of the Italians on
the fighting line a great drive
against the AustrO- Germans and
Bulgarians from three sides will be
possible.
Already fresh forces of Italian
troops are reported landing at Az
Iona, Albania. from which point an
advance to the aid of Serbia would
be made. Italy has had strong
forces at AvlOna for months. but the
disem barkation of new regiments is
taken to mean that the forward
movement is near at hand. This in
formation is contained in an Athens
dispatch To the Temps of Paris and
is in line with Baron SOnnino's
declaration that the Italian flag will
wave from the opposite coast of the
Adriatic to help the Serbians."
Confidence is expressed here that
Italys action will speedily influence
Greece to grant the entente's de-
mands. These may be divided into
two principal issues. They are:
Liberty of action in regard to
Greek railways.
2-Placing Of Greek territorial
waters under the police power of al
lied warships. This is required for
protection against submarines.
