and how did the mere giving way
of certain units cause the collapse
of the whole line? The questions
remain unanswered.
Yet It is recalled here among
officials that the faint of treason
has by no means been absent in
Italy during the war.

Why Is 1t that war has never
been declared between Germany
and Italy?
Whose is the unseen hand which
has prevented connections between
Berlin and Rome from being sew

How did it happen that when
Prince Bulow, failing to prevent
the entrance of Italy into the war
against Austria, left Rome, he did
so with an instruction to his
major-domo to take care of his
gardens until his return?
Italy's entrance into the war did
not come about without a terrific
political struggle, and it has been
in spite of political turmoil that
she has stayed in It.
For time it was Prince Bulow
and his supports, such as Monsig-

D'Annunzio on the other.
D'Annunzio finally won, but
not without the bitter opposition

SELLING JOBS

The following editorial from Tues
days Republic indicates that the light
is finally penetrating former dark
places, and that the truth about the
recent trouble in the Lead Belt will
perhaps become known to the world,
in time, though it does seem that a
great deal of time is being consumed
by practically all the papers before
they publish the real facts in this
matter:
One of the side lights on the Lead
Belt riots is the fact that the perni-
cious practice of selling jobs was not
uncommon. In cities where there is
much Italian labor transactions of
this sort are sometimes carried out
through padrones, who bargain with
the foreman, paying him for jobs and
getting the money back by unmerci-
full fleeing Of the men who get the
jobs.
This is profitable, and more profit
able still when the INSCRIPTIONS fore
man is willing to discharge men for
the sake of making salable jobs. The
practice is demoralizing to any indus
try and to the men who work where it
prevails.
But attacks upon innocent and ig-
norant foreigners are not the means
by which the evil should be met.
Where industries are properly man
aged there will be no foreman selling
Jobs.
