Telegraph Company's correspondent
says:
"A semiofficial Austrian dispatch
received here says the suburbs of Go
rizia are in flames and that the eyac'
uation of the town by the remaining
civilians is proceeding methodically.'
Austria Is in a position to conclude
separate peace with Italy without
consulting Germany. as war never
has been declared between Italy and
Germany.
1t is understood that Austria is
willing to cede much of the territory
originally demanded by Italy. 1t is
figured that she could well afford to
do this for the tremendous advantage
that would be gained by the with
drawal of Italy from the conflict
In the opinion of Austrian and
German military experts, peace with
Italy would mean an end OF the war
at an early date, as large Austrian
army would be released for immedi.
ate action in the Balkans and against
the Russian line in the East.
{S e.ni. tn h<, for

be effected by amendments TO the

rHE PROPOSED CHARTER
CHANGES

The rival city charters. or rather
sets OF amendments to the present
city charter OF Wheeling. are likely to
Be presented at Charleston The In
teilisencer has read with some inter
est both Of the proposed charters. and
has been struck by the similarity OF
the objects aimed at
One city charter contemplaies the
election OF commission OF citizens
and the employment by that commits
sion OF a city manager. The other
charter contemplates simply a reduc-
lion in the membership OF the present
city council TO eleven. and the con-
tinuance in the hands OF the present
oricials Of the executive powers
What is the essential difference be-
tween the two plans?
On the one hand one charter pro-
poses commission or a council OF
fve or seven members The other
charter proposes a commission or
council OF eleven members. One char
ter proposes city manager in one
person to conduct all the executive af-
fairs Of the city. The other charter
contemplates a board OF control OF
three persons to conduct all the execu.
tive AFFAIRS. The differences between
these two proposed plans are not SO
widely radical that they might not be
compromised. II a compromise spirit
could be developed. In the judgment
OF The Intelligencer the one thing that
ought TO be maintained in the city
government is the theory OF balances.
That 10. a legislative power created
by the people to act as a check upon
the executive power. The essential
weakness OF the city charter proposed
two years ago was that IT did not sep
arate or differentiate between the ex-
ecutive power and the legislative
power. II combined the two powers
In the same body. However. that
proposition is not now before the peo-
pie
IL the charter trainers. or men who
seek TO amend present weaknesses in
our city government are sincere. and
will be satisfied with some small ad-
vance towards better things. instead
of being insistent each on having his
own way. there ought TO he no great
