ROME. Feb. 11.-While Europe will
have to pay tribute to the United
States as the center OF the worlds
wealth after the war, the United
States also will be compelled to make
huge investments in Europe, accord
ing to George B. Page, the banker and
financier.
Mr.. Page, who has been established
in Italy for the past quarter of a cen
fury, although Virgfnian born, and
who has perhaps been longer in touch
with European business than any
other American, during an interview
with the Associated Press correspon
dent on the present and future rela
tions of the United States with Eu
rope, and particularly with Italy, said.
'The whole world is now consider
ing tariff problems the Europeans to
get money to pay interest on their
war loans, and the United States tt
shut out products OF foreign industry
that II expects will come into sharp
competition with its own manufacture
ers so soon as the war is over.
II think il will be mistake on
both side of the water to raise tariffs
unfortunately The situation II
coming to this: The United States is
prospecting as the only big nation not
at war. She is pling up gold and Gre
dts against Europe, her customer. As
result she will have too much money
soon, so much she won't know what
to do with IT, On the other hand Eu-
ropes energies and money are going
into the war. When she gets rid OF
the war, which believe will be with
in year, these energies will have to
be turned back to business.
Il do not look for any wholesale
commercial disaster in Europe, such as
the south met after the Civil war.
do not look for even devastated
country like Belgium to be perman
emily ruined. II Is an industrial
country and its losses will be made
up within remarkably brief period

spring athletic activities among the
Pacific coast have been greatly re-
tarded, College crews. track and
field and baseball men especially are
behind in their training. nearly three
weeks of the usual valuable outdoor
work having been made impossible
owing to the continuously bad wea-

equal sufferers in this respect so that
no team will have any advantage over
its rivals through monopoly of good

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. H. - The
two heavyweight BOXERS. Jess Willard
and Frank Moran. whether or not they
finally succeed in being definitely
matched, continue to receive but scant
courtesy at the hands of sporting writ
ers on the Pacific slope. Both of
them have boxed in this city, and the
exhibitions they put up were more or
less the laughing stock OF regular
ring followers. That they may have
improved some In the past year or
two Is not denied, but when promoters
talk OF charging from SIS to $25 to|
see them in action over only ten
rounds, the local sporting men are
willing to concede the palm for en-
thusiasm, or whatever else II may be,
to their eastern brothers who are.
willing to pay the price.
Not one man in ten here, ii is said,
expects any result from ten round
bout. As far as the temper of the
California ring follower is concerned,
nothing less than twenty rounds to a
decision will satisfy them. Few look
for knockout in ten rounds, the only
way in which the championship over
that distance under the no decision
rule, can change hands.
II the comments of the baseball fans
are worth anything, It does not APP
pear that Managers Berry and Nc
Credie Of the San Francisco and Port
land teams Of the Pacific coast league
have done themselves or the league
any good by their quarrel over the
question of whether or not Berry is
financially interested in more thar

pecially boxing and baseball, coming

WAR

people are hard working, sober and
honest The tradition about their
poverty, their unreliable methods,
have been handed down for hundred
years from the time when Italy was
divided up into little kingdoms and
principalities, warning and jealous If
each other and does not in the least
apply to present conditioss. Nobody
has ever taken the trouble to correct
these old lies.
Take ltaly's attitude in the pro-
sent war 1t too has been misunder-
stood or misinterpreted. Italy did not
want to go into this war She had
Just come out of a costly one in Afri
ca and was not prepared to go into
another. Then after a long struggle,
she was cementing a real sentiment OF
union among her people. Much has
been said of her manner of going into
the war. You say that it has been
said that she was apparently trying
TO see whether Germany or the allies
would pay the most for her services.
Nothing could be more untrue. In
respect to her treaty with Germany,
II was not a love affair, but one to
preserve the peace of Europe, a peace
which she heartily desired Germany
did not ask her consent to go to war.
The reason Italy did go into the
war was not because of the promise OF
pay from the allies but. reluctantly
as a matter of national defense.
While there did not exist hard feel
ing between the Germans and Italians
Their has long been one between the
Italians and Austrians. The frontier
between these latter countries was
such that at any time the Austrians
could invade Italy, and Italy could
in such case defend herself only with
difficulty, a difficulty that is proven
by the energy required in the present
war. She is not hanging back; but
vanquishing day by day and step by
step the difficult nature of the terri
tory in which the advance must be
made. She viii regain her two ole
provinces and thereby make impossi
BILE future invasion by Austria.

holds that the company has the right
to deduct from It's gross assets all la

This report Upon this basis showed
that in the years 1903, 1904, 1905 and
