nobly.
The young boxer is much taller

and will weigh 11S on the night
of the fight" says Joe. But I'm
30 tall that It looks like a bad

Muff Bronson, title-holder of

"This boy Pelsinger is q
wonderful little boxer" says
Joe. IL met him twice in
San Francisco. He has clcan-

that country and has never
been defeated. Bronson Is q
good boxer, but he'll have to

ITALY SOL|C|TS
 AMERICAN CAPITAL

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Jan. 29.-Germany has not made such thorough pacific penetration" of Italy's financial and industrial mar kets as is generally reported, accord ing to Francesca Nitti, the former Italian minister of agriculture, who has contributed an article on the sub ject to the current number of the Dutch journal for economies and geo. graphy. Germany, he says, has only placed capital amounting to the az gregate of $S,O00,0GO into Italian en- terprises. There are but few purely German companies of importance in Italy, he says, but, on the other hand. numerous Germans have actively participated in the working of Italian companies without putting any money into them. Revenue statistics indicate that last year the total of taxed for eign capital in Italy was approximate ly $1O0,O00, ,000, of which roughly $60,- 900 900 was French and Belgium, $22,- 100000 British, and only $5,000,000 German, more than half of which lat ter sum is represented by two of the most prominent German steamship lines. What there is of German pen etration," says Signor Nitti, is chiefly represented by individual Germans, who act, or have acted, as managers of Italian banks and as agents of French, Belgian and British trading corporations.
 The Italian authority further re- marks with disappointment that Am erican capital holds aloof from Ital ian financial undertakings, "wHich is the more regrettable since A.perica is the only country to which the Itat- ians need not suspect of ulterior mo tives," and he adds that the great vol ume of Italian exports and labor to the United States would seem to justi- fy the expectation that Americans would show more interest in Italian finances.
