Former Notre Dame Man Writing
From Rome Says Indications
Points to Italy's Joining War

Present conditions seem TO point
toward ItaIy's entering the European
war, according to Il letter from George
J. F'innegan. graduate of NOtre
Dame, now Il student of theology in
Rome, Italy. He states that all the
deplorable conditions in Italy only
tend to make stronger the theory that
Italy is preparing for a long fight. The
war has greatly affected the condition
of the people and the poor are increas-
ing daily The people are very fear
full at this time and are expecting
orders TO march to the front at any
time. The letter in pert follows:
80 we hope that Italy Will keep
out What she will do is as big a
puzzle now as it ever was The papers
talk lot and have repeated every
possible reason pro and contra many
times over. True, for the last few days
they have been more open and holder

been of this nature The Hour 10 De
eide Has Come The Neutrality is at
an End Shall We Intervene The
Solemn Hour of Italian Destiny and
so on.
The government says little and
when men like Salandra speak, ii is
nothing but generalities. There is
certainly no people in the world who
can talk more and say less than these
Italians. You might think that we
should at least know on which side
Italy would go if she did enter, but as
a matter of fact we don't know that.
Some say certainly against Austria

WASHINGTON Aprn 13. - Cecil
Malcolm Peoli, an aviator of Los An

his biplane fell from a height or 900
feet on the aviation field at College

daring exhibition flights throughout
the country. He came here to try out
a new machine, said to be the largest
OF it's kind ever built, preparatory to
making a flight from New York TO

The accident is believed To nave
been due to a strong wind which swept
the aviation field. He was advised
against making a try out of the ma

in the air but n few minutes when he
lost control OF the craft. His skull
was fractured and he died before he

seems TO be something i'm the air. Italy
has spent about a billion lire prepar-
ing her army and navy for something.
Many troops have been called and
more are TO go in few days. Perhaps
the nearest We might come TO her pO-
SitiOn is that she is waiting TO see how
the tide turns. If the expedition
Sainst the Dardanelles is successful,
she may move. The allies have made
it plain to her that she can hope for
none of the game if she doesn't help TO
kill it. She wants to win a war badly
for she never yet won one. The So
cialiStS still hold out against any war.
Poor Are Suffering.
'Here in Italy the effects Of the re-
straint are felt in high prices and the
poor are suffering. When bread and
macaroni so up, they are the ones TO
feel ii. Several bread riots have al
ready taken place. Because of the
shortage of grain the government has
passed "A law that there can be but one
kind of bread sold all over Italy. Ii is
a mixture of graham flour. rice and
white -four. We have tried it and
have found it all right; coarse, but
good. Luckily fruit is cheap now, fine
oranges two for one cent. OF course
we have not felt what the poor are
feeling at all
He also states that in case Italy does
take up arms that all of the students

which Italy Will 20 are preparing TO
leave for their own countries. At first
the Americans had decided 10 do the
same but lately they have Gained
themselves and they Will not leave
until advised to do so by the Amer
lean ambassador. From the rest of
the letter il is obvious that the people
of Italy are Of the general opinion that
was is liable To break out at any min
ute, and the condition Of the people as
the result OF the war is great oppres-
sion.
