ITALY AND GERMANY AT WAR

ltaly's declaration of war against
Germany is formal announcement
which diplomats will recognize as of
much more significance in a political
than in military way. Although it
has been at war with Austria since
May, 1915, Italy has refrained from
forcing the issue with Berlin, while
Germany has been especially anxious
to avoid the break with Italy.
Germany hc1 variety of reasons
for wanting to continue nominally
friendly relations with Italy. One
of the chief of these was that Ger
man capital is invested very heavily
in Italy and that losses to the invest
ors must be heavy in case of hos
tilities. Further, Germany has not
the direct causes of conflict with
Italy that exist as between Italy and
Austria Hungary. The old triple
alliance was always a rope of sand,
for there was inevitable and bitter
hostility of fundamental interests
between the Austrians and the
Italians. Each had it's own policy to
pursue in the Balkans and the Adri-
attic. From the day when Austria
announced the annexation of Bosnia
Herzegovina it was apparent that a
raa! working cooperation between
the two countries must be impossi-

Here's Another Cure for Rheumatism
Wash Yourself and Hold Up


To the Editor Of THE TIMES: ...'
am going to try and explain. my fel-
low mortals. why you have the kink
In your back and Experimentation.
Most of you deserve rs sympathy. as
you are too lazy to follow Gods teach
ings. You don't half wash yourselves.
consequently your bodies and bones are
full Of dirt and congestion, which cause
you to lose your ambition and NOPE
along through life. Enthusiasm means
Methusilah. Wash and you will be
clean. The Bible teaches you these
things. You must earn your bread by
the sweat Of your brow. This Is why
the honest laborer has his health. II
you take those hands out of your pock-
cts and sweat those joints through hon
est labor all this dirt will ooae out
through the pores the same way 1t en-
tered,
Don't give up and let your head and
shoulders drop; II you do you are gone.
Step lively and watch your step. Re-
member, enthusiasm! Can you now see
why the children tease you, with the
cane and crooked back? God has these
innocents do this for your own good, so
you will get angry and lift your droop-
ing head. Giving chase to the kiddies
starts the sap in those lazy bones.
Rheumatism means you may tease EN-.
Study the Bible and nature and you
cannot go wrong. w. A. NJ

IS THE PUBLIC UTTERLY HELP
LESS7

known CnaC tnere was DANGER OI
railroad strike and tie-up. The
danger has been growing more and
more imminent for a considerable
time. It is as plain as a pikestaff
that the public will be far and away
the chief sufferer If the strike shall
come.
Between the two sides to the con-
troversy that threatens all this,
there is great difficulty getting at a
conclusion about merits. On the
one side the railroad employees who
propose to tie up the country's busi-
ness are a particularly well paid
group Of workers. On the other side,
the railroad companies are enjoying.
for the time being at least, very
heavy earnings.
The business community could far
better afford to pay the costs Of in
creasing wages, or reducing hours,
than to permit a strike. But whether
it would be safe for the public to
shoulder the whole burden without
regard to the merits of the contro-
versy, is another question. To ac-
cept such a settlement would be to
admit that the public is an amiable
victim, to be bled whenever contro-
versy shall reach such stage that it
seems easiest to buy peace.
Nobody seems to have a plan that
guarantees the public's interest.
They are talking about legislation,
but what shall the legislation pro-
vide? How shall it insure that
trains be kept moving? ...
Disguised with delays and fail
ures, the GAO chairmen of the rail-
way unions have gone home, leaving
a committee to represent them, with
power to. act. This is not so grave a
development as might at first ap-
pear. A convention Of $40 men is
about the poorest executive, or ad-
visory, body in such crisis that
could we'll be imagined. Especially
is this true when such a convention
is made up Of men unaccustomed to
the confinement and detailed work
necessary to handling such a situa-
ton.
Quite possible, the committee OF
twenty-four that has been left with
sweeping powers, will be easier to
keep in hand than the convention
Deliberation is possible in such q
body; it was almost impossible in
the larger numbers, precisely as de-
liberation is almost out Of the ques.
tion in the House of Representatives
So it may be assumed that the
exodus of the $40 chairmen is not
a disaster. The real menace lies in
the fact that no progress seems
making toward basis of settle.
ment. The position is like that in 9
poker game, in which all the players
have gone in to the last limit Of re-
sources, nobody daring to "call,' but
all hoping that everybody else will
clay down." Nobody will clay down
in the present game, and nobody
dares "call."
The public stands outside the
circle, watching the players play
with its money, and knowing that il
will be the loser, no matter wha,
may be the outcome; yet it seeming
ly can do nothing to protect itself
Surely there is enough statesman
