italy on the Brink.

More eyes are turned to Italy just at this
juneture than on any other country. The
entrance OF that country into the war on the side
Of the Allies. which is believed TO be assured,
will practically complete the ring around the
German allies, leaving them an outlet only
through Holland and the Scandinavia states
The practical effect on the progress Of the war
would make the task OF Germany more than ever
stupendous, for the addition Of the last Of Eu-
ropes great powers to the fighting line would
throw enormous odds against the Teutons. It
is full appreciation OF this fact no doubt that has
led Germany to make such earnest efforts to
hold Italy neutral
II II pursues the course at present indicated.
Italy will afford one OF the most notable exam
pies OF the futllity OF treaty agreements along
offensive and defensive lines. The historic
"drefbund" created by Won Caprivi and Crispi,
with the passive participation OF Austria, was
the dominating factor in European affairs for
twenty-five years, and, so far as may be deter
mined Italy was the chief, II not the sole, bene-
ficiary OF that arrangement. Its present gov
eminent cannot fail TO understand its obligation
to Germany and Austria, but seemingly prefers
to desert its former allies. To be sure, italy
material interests do not all lie in the direction
Germany is pointing, and certain old scores
against Austria have been revived to afford a
plausible excuse for its present action.
Whatever efforts Italy may have made to
keep out OF the melee have been thwarted by
popular demonstrations in favor OF war. How
far these have been stimulated by agitation may
be only coDjectured. but IL certainly lacks In
some degree the essential quality Of spontaneity.
should Italy's advent into the conflict bring
along Greece and the Balkan countries all con-
tinents Europe will have become one vast war
arena.

interests OF the people.
Il takes some time for q country TO settle
down after a revolution. and Portugal is merely

through. For example, France. after the
proclamation OF the republic in 1871. was torn
for years by political intrigues. looking TO 3
change in form Of government. but these were
met and the republic has now endured longer
than any government France has had since tho
great revolution. Brazil, too. affords a notable
illustration. When Dom Pedro addicted he

that threatened for several years to swamp the
new republic. and yet Brazil has come out of

approach of an army Of unemployed aud desti-
tute aliens from Canada causes Uncle Sam to

lack OF sympathetie interest in the condition OF
those sufferers. but is taken in justice to the
home folks. who are entitled to protection from

generous people OF America have contributed
millions to the relief OF the war sufferers, and
are still pouring out their bounty for this cause.

ton for the collection and distribution OF relief

nhatic disapproval Of every fair-minded

is at the hands of one who takes su-
creme delight IN having his name ap-
pear in the public press as often as
possible.
