ITALIAN. KING IN COMMAND.

The king of Italy has taken supreme
command of the army and navy and is
now with his troops at. the front. On
the Austro-Italian frontier and for a
few miles in Austrian territory the
Italian lines stretch for a distance of
fifty miles or more. In their forward
movement the Italians have occupied
several towns and are striking east
ward towards Triest.
. The Austrian war Office admits that
Italian troops have entered Cantino in
the Tyrol, twenty miles east of Rove
roedo, where prior to the war an Aus
TRAN barracks was blown up and
many Italians were arrested. OF the
same time Vienna claims that Italian
attacks on the Carinthian frontier
were repulsed with considerable losses
to the invaders and that in an engage
ment across the border, north Of
Udine, the Italians fed. leaving their
arms.

Eyers III court are usually held 70 ba
privileged. liz the victim complains
the lawyer will usually tell him tina.
he was not in earnest; that the re-
marks were simply q part OF the game
without intent to damage. This ex-
PLANTATION is made privately, while the
imputatiOns have been made openly
before the people assembled in court.
If the victim feels physically able to
take 1t out OF the lawyers hide. he
stands to lose when he is called to ac-
count for assault In court where the
sympathies OF the judge and all the
lawyers will be with their professional
brother; and SO usually he has to grin
and bear it.
But when the same medicine is adj
ministered to a lawyer it is another
matter The grand jury is called to
his aid, as in the Buncombe case
When Judge Carter fined Solicitor
Abernethy for contempt the power of
the State of North Carolina was invok-
ed for the solicitor, Had a layman
been fined under similar circumstances
the solicitor and other lawyers would
have advised him to take his medicine
and go on and that's what he would
have done.
The Buncombe lawyers who have in
licted their brother for SANDER have
set a precedent that may be used to
plague the profession. Some ordinary
layman who receives similar treatment
in court may feel that he is entitled to
the same remedy, and the grand jury
may be called on for help.

DANIELS. SEEKS TO IMPROVE
EFFICIENCY OF SUBMARINES

Washington, May 27.-While unoffi.
cial reports indicating that half of the
twelve submarines assigned to partic-
ipate in the war game with the Allan
tic feet were at least partially ineffec
tive, Secretary Daniels today announc.
ed his determination to make a thor
ough investigation to find the cause,
and if possible a remedy for the too
frequent breakdowns of the naVy's
underwater craft. -
With the growing Importance Of
the submarine as an instrument Of
warfare" said the secretary, 81 feel
that too much attention cannot be
paid to this branch of the service, and
every effort Of the department will be
directed to improving the records
made by the submarines during the
recent maneuvers. The submarine is
still in an experimental stage and the
boat of two years ago, as compared
with those now in active service
abroad, probably Is even more compar.
atively obsolete than an automobile OF
three years ago.

came to New York for'the maneuvers

Gus others suffered breakdowns neces-
stating repairs Of more or less inn
portance which took them out of tho

Syracuse, N. Y, April 24.-An
armed truce was observed today in
the political camps of William Barnes
and Colonel Roosevelt and theh libel
trial adjourned until Monday. Both
sides needed recuperation-e except
possibly the colonel, who showed no
signs of fatigue after four strenuous
days on the witness stand.
Roosevelt declared yesterday that
Barnes had two characters, DR..
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde, and that most
of the politicians he had met had
some gold and some bad, though
some were hopelessly evil. He de-
clared he tried to get them to act
rightly.

EVERY YEAR is LEAP YEAR, SAYS
JUDGE IN BREITUNG CASE

New York, April "a. - No longer
will the maid forlorn have to pine for
the advent of leap year that she, who
is not pursued, may pursue. Judge
Hough of the federal court says
every year is leap year for girls and
they have perfect right to ask men
to marry them.
This ruling was made in the case
of Kleist VS.. Breitung, in which Max
Kleist, one-time gardener Romeo, de-
mands $250,000 for the alleged alien
alton of his heiress wife's affection.
Neist's lawyer endeavored to intro
duce in evidence atthe hearing let
ter from Juliet Breitung to Keist for
the purpose of proving that Juliet had
done the largest part of the wooing
and had arranged the marriage.
Judge Hough ruled the letter out with
the declaration that he knew no law
to prevent any manageable woman
asking an eligible man to marry her.
