To understand fully the reason thai
ed 20 this war. one should keep II
mind certain facts concerning our ma
tiOnal psychology. The Italian peu
ple.--likr all the Larins Of modern
times. are not aSgrcSSlv" by nature
nor given To material cUnquests. They
are, on the contrary, idealistS anC
especially imbued with Il sense oI
Justice. The tradition Of ancient
Rome is not with us tradition oil
arms and OF military undertakings
but of art and law. This explains
why our younger generation is always
enthusiastically responsive 10 mgr
ideals and susceptible to new spirit
ual movements, and why all OF us
worship our martyrs and our heroes
and hate oppression and tyranny. lf
order that our people rise TO fight
bravely and heroiCally 1t is necessary
therefore, TO attack their ideals and
their sense Of human justice.
The war against Austria was very
popular from its beginning. Italians
learn that Austria is our bitter enemy
from their first reader in the elemen
tary school. Hatred against that ma
lion is instictire in us because we
see in her the oppresosr of our ma
tional freedom. The redeeming oil
Trent and Trieste was a desire more
than a necessity, the yindiCauon OF
the international Justice more than a
pretext for territorial annexation
That Is, we want to settle accounts
with a nation which exercised tyranny
over opr unredeemed brethren, and
which continually threatened lis from
the Alps. The Italian government
could, therefore. count on our people
hearty support in war against AUS
tria, which was declared after the
treaty of the Triple Alliance had been
broken by Austria herself and after
the ploicy Of neutrality and isolation
had been proven dangerous to us.
The enmity with Austria. the IN
tense sympathy for Belgium, the
blood ties with France and the close
friendship for England and for the
Slav nations made our var with Aus
tria immensely popular. Our recent
troubles with Turkey and the act OF
Bulgaria in attacking SerYla made
our people accept war with those ma
tons also with enthusiasm. But as
for Germany, in spite OF her behavior
in the war, our people were not al
first convinced that we had Il casus
beli against her. Our adhesion 10
the London Pact. TO the effect that
none of the Allies would sign sepa
rate peace. revealed very clearly that
our government intended eventually
to declare war on the other member
of the Germanic combine, but the
government could not take decisive
step in that direction before obtain

Lyonca tho dalaC which seemed mex
plicable even to our allies.
The necessity Of declaring war on

three years ago conditions IN the in

These matters were all taken into con-

case, the manufacturers relinquishins
the contentious they set up three
years ago, and agreeing to the In.
creased rates asked by the serving

The Manufacturers Light and Heac
Company, however. has made some

State only having TO pay for its own

of our people after long meditation.
Germany. before The war. had &C
Quired in Italy great sympathy and
admiration for her achievements. The
Italians who are always responsive
10 new ideas had assimilated a great
deal Of the German culture. In fact
we loved the great romantic poets,
Schiller. Goethe and Heine. and the
great philosophers, Kant, Fichte and
lIegel, almost as much as our own
Dante and Woo. We were also struck
!! with admiration for the truly astound-
ing progress made by Prussia during
tn last half Il century. We looked
upon Frederic the Great William l..
and BiSmark as remarkable geniuses.
The great Wagnerian operas, the
Beethoven symphonies and the bar
monies of Meyerbeer touched us pro-
foundly. The names Of Karl Marx
! and Frederic Engels inspired adora,
ton on the part Of the masses. And
70 these spiritual and intellectual re-.
latonS were added the commercial
activities displayed among us by Ger
man manufacturers, which had made
Of us virtually a vassal people TO Ger
man industry.
This mass Of common ideals and Of
commercial relations could not be cut
off by single blow. Nor could the
Italian people be convinced that Ger
many was our enemy without realld-
ing first that there was between us
and the German race decided con
fiict of sentiment and interests. II
was Germany herself who brought
about this realization.
Fighting Austria meant for us the
vndication of the humiliation TO
whic that nation had submitted lis for
a long period Of history; it meant
the demolition of an empire which
exercised tyranny over ten different
helpless little states. Fighting Ger
many meant for us the vindication or
the fundamental laws Of liberty and
Of human Justice which had been at
tackled BY a colossal military machine
with the idea Of conQuering the world.
When the Italian people fully under.
stood the ambitions Of the Germans
they rebelled and prepared 10 defend
civilization against such an agrees
sion.
But beyond this Germany became
guilty in our sight by offending MS
directly. She did not hesitate in
sinking several boats Of ours in her
mad submarine warfare. She sent
troops and ammunitions 10 the aid
of Austria against our lines. She
treated the Italians residing in her
territory as enemies and did all she
could 10 arouse our Indignation. and
thus war became inevitable.
Now the war against Germany is
as popular as The war against Austria.
We. in fact, feel Drawer in this latest
conflict, for whereas We were fighting
Austria principally 10 vindicate the
injustice done TO lis as a nation, we
are now at war with Germany 10 de-
fend Latin civilization against defeat

FIXING THE BLAME

When the slump OF California was
first definitely known many aggrieved
Republicans credited the increased
vote for Wilson in that State to the
women voters. and began Immediately
TO proclaim their enmity to woman
suffrage. But that was not the real
reason for the loss OF the State. It
has gradually been Seeping through
since it was discovered Wilson would
have the electoral votes of California.
1t was pretty clearly indicated when i;
was ascertained that Hiram Johnson
running for the United States Senate
on the Republican ticket. would re-
ceiTe a plurality OF 100000 while the
Republican Presidential candidate
would De short several Thousand
votes It doesn't take the Los An
geles Times to open the eyes Of the
observer to the true state Of affairs,
but its remarks are corroborative of
the deductions to be obtained from q
comparison of the Hughes and John
son vote when it says: MIR. Hughes
was defeated in California because the
followers OF Johnson traded the presj-
Dental nominee off right and left, and
openly worked at the polls in many
places for Wilson and Johnson. This
act OF treachery was in accordance
with a. deliberate conspiracy formed
long before Mr.. Hughes set foot on
California SOIL
It may be that a few more women
voted for Wilson than Hughes, but not
in the proportion to have affected the
result if the Republicans had pulled
together as they ought to have done.
The indictment Of the Los Angeles
Times is further strengthened by the
statement OF the chairman of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee, who charges that his
subordinates spilled the beans by
taking charge Of Mr.. Hughes on his
visit to the State and conducting his

THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY

The attitude of the officials of the
Railway Brotherhoods expressed In
their ultimatum with regard to the
unconstitutionality of the Adam$on
act is not one calculated to attract
the sympathy of the American public
to their cause. Their threat to strike
if the law is declared unconstitutional
is another threat, this time directed
towards the intimidation of the high
est court in the land. II is a peculiar
situation when they insi:. on the en-
forcement OF a law they themselves
are at sea as 10 its meaning. Now the
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1916-11-17

courts are being appealed to to define
its meaning, yet they object to having
the law construed. What consistency
is there in such position.
The railroads are undeniably with
in their rights in taking the matter 20
court for adjustment. Only two ques'
tons are involved: Is the law consti'
tutionalo II it is constitutional, what
does it mean? There is no effort in
this to evade the provisions Of Tho
act on technical grounds. Why should
they be forced to comply with an an
constitutional act OF Congress, that
was forced to its action by an unscru,
pulous President. merely to please an
almost infinitessimal fraction Of the
more than 100,OOo,000 people of the
country. There is not much diffsc'
ence Of opinion now as to who was
goldbricked in this case. and if the
Brotherhoods want exact justice the
Only way they can secure it is By the
court procedures that have been un'
dertaken by the railroads.
The more the controversy Is aired
the clearer becomes the lesson D.
hasty and ill-considered legislation
and the evil of submitting TO demands
for political expediency's sake. As
The Intelligencer said al the time The
forced legislation Of the Adamson act
settled nothing, but rather opened ,lp
new string Of evils. And so it has.
The entire responsibility for the pres.
ent situation rests on the opportunist
