WRITING.

Copy the following as a specimen Of
your penmanship:
Let none presume
To wear an undeserved dignity.
o, that estates, degrees, and offices
Were not deriv'd corruptly, and that
clear honour
Were purchas'd by the merit OF the
wearer!
How many then should cover that
stand bare!
How many be commanded that COM
mand!
How much low peasantry would then
be glean'd
From the true seed Of honour; and
how much honour
Pick'd from the chaff and ruin of the
times,
To be new-varnished!

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Rome-Italy is at war with Germany.
Declaration of hostilities was made
by Italy. Following information that
it reached the imperial German gov
eminent through Switzerland, an
tion was made. The intolerable situ-
alton created by the fact that Italy was
at war with Germany's ally and the
fact that Germany loaned all possible
support to that ally, Austria a-Hungary,
against Italians and their interests, led
the government to its decision. That
decision was made public in the fol-
lowing announcement:
"The Italian government declares in
the name of the king that Italy con-
siders herself to be in a state of war
with Germany as from August % and
begs the Swiss government to convey
this information to the imperial Ger
man government"
The complete cessation of all COM
municatiOn between Italy and Ger
many brought about by the Austro-
Italian war, made it necessary for
Italy to convey through Switzerland
her declaration of war to Germany.
1t is believed here that Roumania,
with which nation Italy long has had
an entente, will follow the Italian gov
ernment with declaration of war
against the Central Powers and their
allies.
