1918 AND THE RAILROADS

THE record of manufacturing and
i mercantile failures for 1915
reached a total of disaster uneQualled
in the history of American enterprise.
To this must now be added the chap
ter which relates the hardships OF
American railroading during this year
of democratic prosperity"
Fewer miles of railroad were built
in the United States during 1915 than
in any other year since 1864, and
more miles of railroads were in re-
ceivers' hands during the year than
ever before, according to railway sta
tistics compiled from official sources.
There have been only three other
years 1S4S in which the increase in
railway mileage was less than 1000
miles. and these were the civil war
years of 1861, 1862 and 1864. In
1915 the total miles Of new railroad
in the United States ~ere
$50, as compared with 1882 in 1914.
and 3071 in 1918. There was also a
reduction in the second trackage
built.
According to the statistics quoted,
receivers now hold and operate 49,
561 miles of railroad, with a total
funded debt of $1,607,s95.500, and a
:otal capital stock of $747,004,s01.

ROME, Jan. 24.--Italian diplomats
believe Germany is trying to make
internal trouble for Italy through the
vatican. The vatican is the seat OF
government of the Catholic church,
much as the District of Columbia is
the seat Of government OF the United
States. The vatican, however, is
classed as exclusively a seat of spir-
itual government, and is supposed to
have nothing to do with the temporal
government of Italy or any other
country. Prior to 1870 the Catholic
church governed both spiritually and
Temporarily in many places. When
the temporal power OF the church was
taken away in 1871, Italy established
the Law of Guarantee, whereby the
vatican Is guaranteed absolute pro-
lection by Italy, from interference
from any source with its affairs as a
spiritual governing agency. So long
as Italy alone guarantees protection
to the vatican, Italy retains absolute
control of all her territory. However.
should any other nations step In and
say that inasmuch as the Catholic
church has ramifications throughout
the world, they feel that all nations
should Jointly guarantee protection
to the vatican, Italy then would he in
a peculiar position. It is the fear
that Germany is trying to engineer
such an internationalizing Of the Law
OF Guarantee that is worrying Italian
diplomats at present. AS Italy views
1t, the danger Of internationalizing
the vatican's guarantee OF protection
lies in this hypothetical case: Sup
pose the vatican should attempt to in
terfere with the temporal government
In Italy and Italy fought the attempt
as 1t fought the temporal power Of
the church prior to 1870. Suppose,
also that there We're an international
law OF guarantee. Then suppose Ger
many was interested in making all
the trouble for Italy that it possibly
could, All Germany would have to
DO would be to step in and say to
Italy:
Here! We guara1tee non-interfer-
ence with the vatican, and We want
you to let the vatican alone"
Any other nation which might be
party to the guarantee, and which
mad a grudge against Italy. could do
the same thing. But SO long as Italy
alone guarantees non-interference

with the vatican, ii controls the situ-
alton. This question had lain dor
mant for many years until the pres
ent war aroused it. The first public
recognition Italy made that the ques-
tion was again stirred up was the re-
cent speech by Minister Orlando at
talmero. in which he reiterated and
emphasized the fact that Italy and
Italy alone will protect the vatican.
Many. Americans wrongly interpret
ed that speech as indicating that
Italy would countenance the re-estab-
fishing Of the temporal power OF the
church in Italy. 1t really was meant
to emphasize the fact that Italy would
not countenance the internationaliza-
tion of the Law OF Guarantee. From
1873 to 1879 Bismarck fought the
law. claiming that Italy thereby had
made the pope unattackable. The
Italian government did not heed the
words Of Bismarck, and acts on this
score, SO Bismarck sought favor with
the vatican. Not SO very long after
that his plan to engineer the Triple
Allicnce came to light. Italy was
not much in favor OF it. Bismarck
again stirred up the internationaliza-
tion OF the Law Of Guarantee, de-
manding that it may be world affair.
not an Italian affair. Such a powerful
fight did Bismarck wage on this score
mat Italy finally agreed to the Triple
Alliance on condition that the Law of
Guarantee agitation be dropped. The
revival OF the temporal power of the
church is not considered at all likely
IN Italy, either in the vatican or else.
"here, but Germany, say Italians who
watch the situation closely, seeing the
enthusiasm, patriotism and LOYALTY Of
complaints at the Italian front, and
the manner in which various branches
OF the church have contributed ia tho
government for the war, Is uneasy.
aho wants to revive the plan to inter-
hationalize the Law of Guarantee,
Italy considers that such action
would cause untold international COM
riications and diplomatic meddling in
itaiian affairs. and Italy wants the
question left altogether to herse,r
oaid one man high In Italian diplo-
matte circles: "Of course GERMANY
wants to stir up trouble here in Italy
ana her mind is centered on the
roman question. The semi-offlcial
press OF Germany has been working
t.re'essly' welding Germany's old
threat against Italy again"

BONANZA BRIEFS
: q z z

Frank Bridges held classes In vocal
music last week. He has class OF
thirty enrolled, and will give a con-
cert tonight to publicly show what
the class has learned. The class prog
ress is splendid tribute to Mr..
Bridges work. and regret is express
ed that he cannot stay two weeks, in
stead of just one. Mr.. Bridges ex-
poets to leave for Merrill tomorrow.
and from there he goes to Lakeview
and Paisley.
The auto stage from Bonanza to
klamath Falls has been discontinued
owing to heavy snow.
There is some talk of the farmers
of this section combining and having
jackrabbit drive. This talk would
undoubtedly become reality IL our
county commissioners would restore
the rabbit bounty.
At the meeting held recently to die
cuss the starting Of a club, much talk
ing was done, but It seems the chief
difficulty met with is the finding Of
man to take charge. It IL
hoped that such a person will be
found, and that Bonanza will have a
good clean club room.
Special services will be held in
the NJ. E. church. beginning January
30th, with special preaching by Rev. !
Cowley of Merrill. Rev. Cow
ley was engaged in missionary work |
in Liverpool, England, for seven years |
prior to coming to this country,
is welcome to these SER
vices, which will begin at 1880 each
evening, and continue one or two

FRENCH REPULSE

Strategic Defensive Position in North

German Efforts-Two Night Assaults
Said to Have Failed.

Paris, June 6.-Fort Naux, one of the
northeastern defenses of Verdun. con-
tinues to be the center Of German eff
forts but the French still hold the main
fort and all approaches except the
northern moat, in which the Germans
gained Judgment several days ago.
The Germans are now directing their
efforts toward bringing up reinforce
ment between Vaux and Danlloup for
the purpose OF gradually wearing down
the determined resistance OF the French.
Altho two infantry attacks were made
yesterday they lacked the intensity OF
previous rushes.
The conclusion is drawn that the
heavy losses of the Germans are COM
pelling them to proceed less vigorously
fer the moment, while they are reform
ing their scattered units.
Two attacks on Fort Vaux were re-
pulsed by the French last night. ac-
cording to an official statement issued
by the war office today. The neaNy
bombardment of Fort VaUX continues
with intermittent cannonading on the
west front.

such a prolonged and serious illness
that he had to give up further service
