1taly's controversy with Austria is
not only territorial. but political also.
While concessions would solve the
first problem. the continuation of the
alliance with the dual empire would
be unpopular.
The note informing Italy of the con-
ccssions was handed TO the foreign
minister. Baron Sonnimo. by the sec
retary of Prince Non Beulow. the
German Ambassador. 1t is reported
the concessions are the follow ing:

II is believed here that Italy will not

case. il is understood that she will sign
no treaty. but will retain complete
freedom Of action in the Mediterranean,
and may even declare war on Turkey
on account OF the alleged support given
by the Ottoman government to the reb-
els in Tripuli.

Chauvinjsm,

A chauvinist is one who is absurdly

pulled up with an exaggerated sense
of national glory. The words "chau-
whist" and "chauvinism' are taken
from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, a
soldier of Napoleon, who was so no.

monstrative devotion to the imperial
Cause that he was caricatured on the

On the benchcd cliffs of concrete that

In the fifteen minute intermission
between the halves Of the game ushers
went through the packed stands, pass
ing tin pans. A collection was taken
for the Polish Relief Fund. The oc.
casion might or might not have been
supposed favorable. Holiday throngs
are not close listed. but football brooks

So the prospect was uncertain.
