ITALIAN BATTLESHIP
A SPEED MARVEL

ROME, Italy. - Italy has brought
out one of the great surprises of the
war. While some details are sup
pressed. it has become known here
that the Tut Ali Cali Wings), the
new battleship, on her trial trip did
500 miles at the speed of IA express
train.
She actually travelled three times
the rate of the fastest transatlantic
liner
During the trip" says an officer,
I'VE were attacked by an enemy sub
marine. You would have laughed to
see the torpedo fall several hundred
yards clear of our stern. The torpe-
do catchers which escorted us were
left far behind. In few minutes all
we saw of them was bit Of smoke.
This wonder ship is driven by nap
tina and compressed air. The naptha
passes through compressed air at such
terrific rate that it emerges in a
state of pulverization; it is then pro
PEELED into socalled boilers by means
of atmospheric pressure, thus produc-
ing heat OF from 1900 to 1900 degrees
.Centrigrade. Tut Ali has three tur-
'bines, which propel with a force OF
S40O horsepower each.
The safety valves throw off showers
Of water and pulyerized naptha, which
turn bright purple in the sun as they
fly upward. The ship shakes as
though it were in perpetual earth
quake. Even hardened seamen have
to learn to walk on Tut Ali. The steel
lining would break with the vibration
but for special system of joints. The
noise of the turbines is SO great that
nobody's voice can be heard. All or
ders are given by signal. as in the
midst of heavy bombardment. The
ship leaves high mountain of sea
behind.

Nation Buys More From U. S.
Than Any Four Others
and Wants More
IBy Assoeia.ed .Pressl

MILAN, Italy-The explanation of
the increasing number OF American
firms settling in Italy Is the realization
that Italy is the future gateway to the
Orient and to the Near East. accord
ing to Charles F. Hauss. President of
The American Chamber OF Commerce
for Italy.
Because OF her geographical posi-
ton. joining the North OF Europe TO
the Orient said Hauss to CORES
pondent of The Associated Press,
Italy today offers better business
opportunities for Americans in my es-
timation than South America or the
Far East. She has fine commercial
strategic position and her government
and people are actively aware Of the
fact, and intend to push this advantage
OF location.
Italy 10 Good Customer
Wartime Italy is far more prosper
Gus than is generally known. The re-
cent declaration OF dividends showed
earnings higher even than in peace
time. II is also not generally known
that Italy bought more products in the
United States during the past year
than in any four other great countries.
She bought over two hundred millions
from US, as compared to eighty mill
lions in England, fifty in the Argen-
tine, fifty In France, and fifteen in
Switzerland. She is selling to US some
thing over fifty millions year, which
is about her normal yearly sales of be-
fore the war.
There is going to be much more
business between Italy and the United
States as this big fact of her geogra-
phical situation is better appreciated,
and when both Italy and the United
States increase their number of mer-
chant ships, at present sadly made
quate to handle the cargoes either
way. Italy has provided and will con-
tinue to provide abundant return car
goes, such as her renowned silks,
laces, furniture, alimentary foods.

wines. cheese, her beautiful marbles,
hematite iron, lead, and zinc ores, as
well as certain other manufactures in
which she exoeIs. Before the war Italy
was laying the ground for a fine ma
tional merchant marine and right now
during the war she is continuing that
policy.
Government is Liberal
Il have lived in Italy nearly eight
of the seventeen years / have been in
Europe, and | can say that Italy has
the most liberal government / have
ever lived under. Its laws, though
severe, are just, and when one gets to
know italians and their customs one
will realize what great strides they
have made in science, with its more
than 500, 900 Inhabitants. the heart of
Industrial Italy, has record of growth
unique in modern European history.
Its population has increased fifty per
cent in the last ten years, due to the
wealth and hustle of her business men.
''All of the American firms now in
Italy to my knowledge and belief are
prospecting, some even mere than prev
vious to the war.
1T is no more difficult to organize
"a separate company here than else
where, though it would be well before
settling for an American company to
first carefully try out the field by
actual trial of its goods on the Italian
market. Obviously, for some kinds of
goods a separate company is not adj
visable. as in the case of goods light
in weight, of small volume, and of a
certain value since such goods may be
sea-shipped and easily entered, if the
tariff is not high.
Tariffs Not Oppressive
Italian tariffs are not oppressive and
they are always specific, never ad
Falorem. This of course, means that
the higher the value of the merchan-
disc the easier it is to export to Italy.
Italy welcomes American initiative,
capital and merchandise of all kinds,
especially semi-finished products and
raw materials.
The war opened her eyes to the
latent capabilities she possessed fl
nancially as we'll as industrially, and
she is going to keep on going ahead"

Il believe peace will come through
the friendly Intervention of the
United States and other neutral ma
tions,' said DR.. Writ.
IL am in position to state that
the German Empire realizes that it
is whipped and is in a receptive mood
for peace proposals. On the other
hand. England and the Allies are I'M
willing at this time to consider peace
proposals from the United States or
any group of neutral nations.
After careful estimates I believe
there are $4,000, goo men under arms

the sod since war enyeloped Europe,
but these staggering figures cannot

NoBLER THAN HIS SONG

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 The statement of Aldred Bryan that his son would have his permission and his blessing if he should go to Mexico under the American flag in the event of war with Mexico deserves the widest publicity. Possibly one in 100 of those who have sung. or heard. the popular song, T Did Not Raise My Boy to Be Soldier, know the authors name. MT. Bryan emerges from his comparative obscurity to say that he didn't raise his son not to be a soldier. and would be glad to see him serve if his country should go to war.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox, by way of making an alibi, perhaps, said in the preface of her Poems of Passion" that persons who looked for the thoughts of writers in their literary output were like persons who nistook the shells cast upon the sand for the contents of the ocean.
 Evidently MT. Bryan, song writer, did not write what was in his mind, but what was in the mind of the pacifcists. when he produced his popular song. It is a familiar trick of the bread winning writer of songs and of other pen prod ucts.
 It turns out that the author is nobler than his song. He could not be more ignoble.

STUDYING PUEBLos

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 pr. Lucy Langdon Wilson has already added much to the sum of the worlds knowledge by her investigations of the Pueblo Indians, and she is now on an- other tour of study in that realm of mystery She previously made two trips into this little known region in New Mexico, in the course of which she uncovered villages whose existence was not suspected until she found them. Last year she located an apartment house containing 36 rooms and a car load of cooking utensils, ceremonial ar ticles and other relics of this extinct race. Dr. Wilson works alone in her exploration. She is familiar with sev- eral Indian dialects and has won the confidence of the tribes in that region. It is to be hoped that her life will be spared to make that history of this an-
 cient race for which she is so emil netly fitted. With the start she has already made. given time, there is req son to believe that she will go a long way toward solving the mystery of the Pueblos which has baffled investigation thus far.

BUSINESS GIRLS

From the Charlotte Observer.
 The canning club girls of Texas are showing their elders a thing or two about keeping hard earned cotton money in the family and the Houston Post tells how they are going about it. The Post says that for months these girls have been learning ito can things their mothers had been throwing away" They got so ex- pert at the new job that some of them are now advertising in the papers to do canning and preserving for such patrons as they may secure. And here is where their business sagacity comes into evi- dence. In the first place. they go in to- gether and buy their materials at whole sale prices. Many club has purchased an entire carload of tin cans. The glass jars and the rubber bands and the sugar are bought in big lots They have man aged to save many dollar in this way. In fact their saving has enabled them to make prices on canning and preserving which appear to be less than cost to the housewife. We have no doubt of the fact. which the Post suggests, that these canning girls "are doing Texas proud" :" A further suggestion that applies to North Carolina is that there is no ban against city girls Joining and the contact with their country cousins would do them all good They need the Knowledge ac much as do the country girls. Their own homes would be saved much expense by the methods the canning clubs are teaching.

T have been connected with the trial or murder case in Walker county for several days, and it was the first one ever took part in, or attended in which there was not at least one woman wit ness,' said C.

Ut is very rare that there is murder trial with any num- Der of witnesses in which women. wit nesses are not summoned and do not give testimony"
 MT Wiggins announced that the busi- ness and professional men of Jasper were organizing a Chamber of Commerce. winch was expected to contribute much to the growth and development of the entire county and to stimulation of civic activity and pride. "We are now trying to secure the cooperation of all the vari- ous business and corporate interests throughout Walker county to make the work of the chamber a success, and we are confident of success said MT.
