ROME, Aug. Italy is just now
approaching the climax of her power
In the great war. Twelve months
have witnessed consolidation OF the
Italian war machine, brilliant advan-
ces on all fronts where Italian soldiers
face the foe and fullest utilization of
the Italian nayy's power in the Medi-
terranean.
For the first time in months the
muddled Italian political situation has
apparently settled down, with the
recent overwhelming vote OF conf
dence in the Boselli cabinet. Italy has
learned, probably from England. the
necessity Of co-ordinated, harmonious
prosecution OF the war, with every
ounce Of her strength.

What Germany Believes an Immediate
Peace Would Mean
(From the New York SUM-.

II Germany could obtain peace to-
day her possession of northern France
or Belgium. OF large territories in the
Balkans, OF great areas formerly IN
der russian control would serve her
we'll in the adjustment Of terms. That
is obvious.
But there is another factor not so
obvious that should be considered.
We are now remodelling our politi-
cal and social establishment to devote
our energy to war. The process has
advanced with gratifying celebrity. but
the change from our habitual devo-
ton TO peaceful pursuits has only be-
gun. IL It were arrested now by the
removal Of the immediate necessity
for its prosecution there would be a
strong sentiment in favor of abandon
ment of the enterprise This would
be supported by numerous anti-mili-
tarists with no sinister motive. It
would be urged by every agent Of
Prussia in this country. The Ameri-
can people, unused to an adequate
army and navy. longing for the re-
pose of their former condition, would
be beset to stop the creation of de-
fensive ornaments and to surrender
themselves again to their previous
state.
It would be asserted that our mere
threat to arm had brought Prussia to
terms. and that in another emergency
another threat would accomplish the
same result.
That such a policy would be adopt
ed we do not believe; but that the

policy OF adequate military and naval
preparedness will be ours n peace is
not obtained is proved by what we
have already done.
Against America unarmed. trusting
TO treaties and the good will Of other
Powers for the maintenance Of its
rights. the Prussianized German EN-
pire can prevail at any time But
America armed and ready to resist
force by force SPELLS the end OF Prus-
sian dreams OF world rulership.
Hence a German peace made now
might leave the world open for an
other Prussian excursion OF conquest.
while peace enforced by the final vic
tory of the Allies means enduring
tranquility, the safety of small ma
tions. the end of Prussian ambitions
outside the sphere of their legitimate
activity. There is hope Of world do
miniOn for Berlin If the old order in
which Germany alone stood sword in
hand among peoples armed with pop
guns. can be restored; there is hope
for freedom only I'm peace made by
the Allies.
Prussia sneers at our martial power.
She does not sheer at our martial re-
sources. These organized for war,
Prussia must abandon her plan to
enslave the world; and II Prussia can
prevent that organization she will do
it.. The man accoutred to fight may
Justly hold in contempt the giant

PROTECTION ARGUMENT FROM NEW YORK TIMES.

UWITH the coming OF the war the very heavy inn
W portatons from Germany ceased entirely and
those from England have fallen to very small proper
lions. Meanwhile, the American manufacturers have
not been able 20 increase their capacity sufficiently

Wonder how that statement ever escaped the blue
pencil OF the free-trade editor OF the New York Times
rom which II is quoted.
The WilsonUnderwood tariff law took all protection
away from cutlery FOR instance and during the ten
months free operation that law October 1913 to,Juy
1914 inclusive imports Of cutlery increased SO per
cent the similar ten months period October 1912

correctly observes although apan is showing up
strong in our cutlery market concern in New Brit
ain. Conn, which engaged in the manufacture OF
safety razors recently closed down the shop which

could be purchased in Japan and of shipment paid

OF thing but occasionally the Times, well Demo

few people, also believe that sixty
days in jail is the equivalent of a
$25 fine. The women said that they
could not conscientiously pay the
fine, and every sensible man approves
the action of the President in pardon
ing the women after they have suf-
fered infinitely more than a fine by
even their short stay in prison. The
only sensible and effective way to
treat these mistaken zealots who are
anxious to suffer for a just cause is
to let them severely alone.
