ITALIAN FILMS FOR
EXPORT ON INCREA SE

Rome, Italy, June 22.-Of late
years italian exports of cinema films
have been considerable, so it is stated
by the British Chamber Of Commerce
for. Italy. Prior to, 1912 no separate
account was taken Of them in the
custom house statistics, and in that
year the exports reached 1850 kilos
valued at 11,628,O0O' lire of which
Great Britain took 37,78S kilos as
Italy's best customer for this article,
In the following years the quantities
exported were ILL., 1862 kilos in 1918;
104, 602 kilos in 1914; 1o2,191 kilos in
1915; 85,967 kilos in 1916. Quite re-
Gently representatives of London film
merchants have paid prolonged visits
in Italy for the purpose Of studying
the salient points of the chief Italian
film productions and of purchasing
some of those which they found suit
able for the markets of the United
Kingdom. They were much struck
with the beauty, art and detail of the
Italian work and. foresaw the pros
pect of a considerable increase of
business between the two countries.
A considerable number of film plays
will now be introduced in Great Bri-
tain, and in future Italian novelties
in films stand very good chance of be-
ing considered by British film mer-
chants. Italy imports a slightly lar
ger quantity of films than she ex-
ports, and a quantity varying from Is
per cent. to about SO per cent, usually
comes from Great Britain.

THE STATES-GRApHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
PRUSSIA AND

President Wilson, in his address 10
congress, said that Austria Hungary
is a vassal of the German empire.
That is true in substance, if not in
form. The ancient house of Haps-
burg doesn't yet do homage to the
newer house of Hohenzollern, and no
actual tribute is paid, but Austria
Hungary has for some years, moved
only as the German emperor directed.
In n of those interesting double
loaded editorial articles sometimes ap-
pearing in the Louisville Courier Jour-
nal, we find this quotation: "Among
the condolences which fell from Bis
marck's lips while he was yet at the
head of affairs, is this revealing SEN
tence: We took nothing from Austria
after Sadowa because we wanted to
be able n day to be reconciled with
her."
This remark from the first German
chancellor recalls much history before
and after Bismarck said it. 1t was,
also, exceedingly significant Of Prus-
sian principles and practice. !.
From 1878, when Count Rudolph Of
Hapsburg was made emperor, until
the battle of Sadowa, of which Prince
Bismarck spoke, in 1866, the Austrian
influence was more or less paramount
in German affairs. Frederick the
Great, in 1850, defeated Maria Theresa
and arbitrarily took from Austria the
province of Silesia. That created an
acrimonious rivalry between Austria

RIGHT FEED FOR COWS.

It would be difficult to make a good
feeding ration for COWS from Stage,
wheat straw and cottonseed meal, A
good ration should have more variety
and besides there would not be sufi-
Gent autriment in this ration. "A fair
IL good ration can be made from sill
age, wheat straw, millet, cowpeas and
coEtonseed meal. Cows should be fed
thirty to fifty pounds of silage, ten to
twelve pounds Of millet and eowpea
hay, all the straw the cows will con-
sumo, and one pound Of grain for each
three pounds Of milk produced daily.
This grain mixture could be made o

To go still further back. both Great
Britain and France were worsd than
short sighted to permit the eonquest
of Denmark in the early sixties, when
that country was robbed of Schlsss-
wig olstein. That was when Prussia,
under the guidance of her great trio,
William l, Bismarck and Won Moltke,
set out on a renewed career Of con-
quest, and it would have served Eng
land, France and Russia at that time,
to have joined in curbing her ambition
The Prince of Wales, afterwrds Ed
ward VII, was then married to a Dam
ish princess, and so was the Car AL
exander of Russia. Both England and
Russia made mild demonstrations of
friendship for Denmark, but went no
further. 1t would have saved the
world of today a great deal Of trouble
if they had.
But when, after the successive con-
quests of Denmark, Austria and
France, Prince Bismarck inveigled
Austria into a firm alliance with the
German empire that he had formed
he cast the net about her that
made her, as President Wilson says,
Germany's vassal.
She is not so absolutely under Prus-
sian dominance as the other German
states are, but is still compelled to act
as Germany directs, and brought on
the present war to give opportunity
for the establishment of the great mid
die empire that would extend from the
Persian gulf to the North Sea, and
under the rule Of the Hohenzollerns
dominate the world.-Nashville Ban.

A WAR OF MACHINERY.

One of the war correspondents wAl
the British army writes that the vic
tory the latter achieved in the vicinity
of Cambria is a victory of machinery
The war, he says, has entered a new
%stage-that Of machinery.
The first assertion is undeniably
true although the qualities of courage,
dash and brilliancy on the part of
those who planned and those who car
ried out the attack were factors Of the
utmost Importance. Tanks" would
have been useless if they had not been
manned by operators and backed by
infantry who displayed these qua. les
in the highest degree.

They have ample materials from which
to build such huge war monsters as
the British are using. They have any
number Of factories in which to make
them. The same is true of whatever

approximately 100000 tons, the in
crease in consumption caused by the
war is 100, 10000 tons, An instance
cited is that of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, which demands an increased
coal supply Of approximately 3,000,-
600 tons a year. The coal demands of
pub~lic-utility plants. particularly in
the industrial sections, have increased
a third.
According to the Department of Ag-
riculture, rats and mice destroy each
year property worth more than $780,
100000, equaling the gross earnings
of an army of 200,0 900 men.

and Prussia and the reigning houses
of Hapsburg and H~ohenzollern, but
still Austrian prestige in German af-
fairs continued in some degree ascend
ant.
When Prince Bismarck said Prus-
STA never took anything from Austria
after Sadowa, he meant there was no
indemnity or annexation" demanded,
but something was taken. Prussia
took the primary place as a German
state that Austria had previously oc-
cupied. In the Germanic confedera-
ton that had existed from 1915, that is
after the fall of Napoleon, until 1866,
when the battle Of Sadowa was fought
and Austria was humbled, the emper-
or of Austria had presided in the diets
that met at Frankfort-on-M Main. After
that there was a north German con-
federation, in which Prussian influ-
ence was dominant, until the present
German empire was formed in 1871.
What Prince Bismarck said reveal
ed that Prussia was not magnanimous,
but only crafty in not despoiling Aus
tria after her defeat of that country
in the short war of 1866. 1t also re-
vealed that Prussia was then prepar-
ing for the war with France in 1870,
and that this wal didn't really come of
the temporary question of the Spanish
succession, as was then supposed.
From the time that the elector of
Brandenburg, in the latter year Of
the 18th century, formed a standing
army of ~well-drilled soldiers, it has
been the policy of the Hohenzollerns
to make ~conquests and annexations to
their dominions. They were lenient with
Austria because there were no other
greater projects of conquest ahead.
What Prince Bismarck said was signi-
ficant of the combination Of the guile
and force that Prussia has always en-
ployed from her progress of the Duchy
of B~randenburg in 1900 to the attempt
at world empire in 1914.
1t was this combination that Presi-
dent Wilson called the Thing"
which he said was intolerable and that
the safety of democracy demands must
be crushed.
Prince Bismarck was called "the
great diplomat of the Driebund," be-
cause he was able to weld three an
enemies like Prussia, Austria and
Italy into a compact offensive and de-
fensive alliance. He was wise il not

but Austria was rot wise Ia cornifa
% complaeontly into the mar fixed
1or her inthrallmelt. She should have
remembered the Old score with Prussia
md have joined forces with Fance in
1870.
TO go back further, France was
sighted to allow Prussia to make
/ conquest of Austria in 1866. 1t was
distinctly her policy to keep her two
reutonic neighbors balanced against
Zach other.
