But the conference between the two

Fear Army's Collapse.
Italian military circles are skeptical
about the ultimate results of the Rus
sian summer campaign. and some Of
ficers even fear complete collapse
OF the Russian army. Opinions differ
as to what Germany would do in this
event. The pessimists maintain that
in this case Germany would not hest
tate single moment to hurl against
Italy part of the troops now engaged
along the thousand mile front from
Libau to Czernowitz, and that only
prolonged resistance on the part Of the
Russian army probably would induce
Germany to preserve her former ally
the moderation she has assumed.
On the other hand the conservative
element OF the country which in May
last was ready to support Signor Clio
litti in his efforts to settle amicab1y
Italy's old differences with Austria,
has now undertaken a quiet campaign
to prevent the war for the completion
of Italian independence from degene-

Of the British empire.

at work in the garden setting uprooted
plants back into the earth.

ent disregard of his presence, as she
took counsel with herself. She was
| perfectly still, without even the move
ment of an eye-lash. Other considera-
tons than any he might suggest, he
subtly understood, held her attention.

would at length assent or dissent, and
nothing could hurry the Marta of to-

creature OF feverish impulse.
1t seemed a long time that he was
watching that wonderful profile under

ness Of flesh, yet firmly carved. She

sweeping past the spot where Del

had manned the automatic, where
Stransky had thrown Pilzer over the
parapet. He saw the glance arrested
and focused on the flag of the Grays,
| which was floating from staff on the
outskirts of the town, and slowly,
glowingly. the light ripping ON it's
folds was reflected in her face.
"She is for us! She is a Gray" he
thought triumphantly. The woman
and the flag! The matter-of-fact staff
officer felt the thrill of sentiment.

announced with rare smile of assent.
Then I'll go back to town and set

said.
And when you come you will find

sured him.
Except that he was raising his cap
instead of saluting, he was conscious
of Withdrawing with the Difference due

In place of the smile, after he had
gone, came frown and look in her
eyes as if at something revolving;
then the smile returned, to be cue
ceeded by the frown, which was fol-
lowed by an indeterminate shaking OF

WORLD MISSION OF CHIvALRY
OF Much Worth IL Only to Create the

Chivalry served to draw out and de-
velop those free, bold rpirits whose
talents could not have been evoked by

created a romance of action to match
the saints moral paradise and evoked
poetry and the arts to celebrate it's
charms. The love of the beautiful
which it begot caused hospitable re-
ception to be given in Europe to the
refinements brought from the East by
the returning crusaders. which caused
the first slight stirring OF international
trade.
The enthusiasm which the many
sided ideal of chivalry evoked with
it's galaxy of virtues, may be seen, In
literature. in the unfolding of the
themes of the simple Aryan folk tales
and the prose romances of the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, into the SEN
suous beauty Of Provencal poetry and
the delicacy and pathos of Plutarch
and Dante. Chivalry embellished with
romance the lives Of its half-legendary
founders, Charlemagne, Siegfried and
Arthur. 1t supplied the conception OF
virtue sung in Chaucer's Pilgrimage,
Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and Spen-
ser's "Faerie Queene." In the world
of action chivalry animated the cru
sades, dispensed justice throughout
Europe for 400 years, purified court
life and made much OF the warfare OF
the middle ages peculiarly humane and
noble. It's enthusiasm burned into
brilliancy in such characters as Rich
