Ol the internal situason of Russia we have but uncertain glimpses. We can see enough though to know that the country is hopeessly by dissen- son We shared the expressed qualification over the succession of democracy to the empire for we never could conceive that a democracy in such a field could thrive Russia was made up of despots dreamers and densely ignorant and conglomerate population, containing element essential de- mocracy.

WAR HAS INJURED
ITALY VERY MUCH
Report Shows That Present European
Horror Has Put Big Dent in
Pocketbook.
BY JOHN H. HEARTED

I
! Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Italy Jan 24.-(By mail y
The budget reports for Italy's two
years of war today shows that in The
financial year 1855 Italy, spent 49,.
$4,000, of which 1852, 100000 were for
ordinary and $1,473,000,OOO for war
| expenses.
Ordinarily there would have been
a surplus Of $92,O0O,OO0. The way min.
istry accounted for $1,39S,00O Needy
familieies of soldiers received $28,-
100000 of this amount The ministry
of marine spent $75,000,0O0.
Other items directly due to The
war included $51,000,000 for issuing
and paying interest on three war
loans; $4,2o0O09 for transportation
and helping emigrants to repatrate;
$1.400, 000 to place the Italian Red
Sea colony in a state Of defense and
$1200000 for the fishermen of the
Adriatic coast The 1855 budget
closed with a deficit of $152, 100000.
In 1861 the army budget was in
creased by 900,000,O00 and the navy
by $63 100000 The payment of in
,terest on war loans amounted to $751;
100000; $4400,000 went toward re-
patriated Italians; $100O,000 toward
strengthening further the Red Sea
colony; 100000 to the fishermen;
100000 to war orphans. The total
expense was $1,796, 100000 and the
deficit, 1852 100000.
The general economic conditions
may be considered almost as good.
Probably much less distress has been
caused by the war in Italy than in
other belligerent countries. Since
the wars beginning Italians have
worked more, produced more and saw
ed more than ever before.
The populations thriftiness and toll
are proven by the fact that. while the
savings banks had $1,519, O00, 900 on
deposit on June 80, 1914. the present
deposits considerably exceed $780,
100000. This, in spite of the higher
cost of living and the war loans. which
has absorbed millions of dollars of
small savings. Besides, the remit
tances from emigrants have almost
ceased, as there are now only $4,000
emigrants abroad, compared with
$4,000 in 1913. The 1916 imports ex-
ceeded exports by 1864, 100000.

LONDON. Jan. 24.-American fugi-

too many things about themselves
that it's inconvenient to prove be-

Probably the only American arriy-

occasionally sailors who ship out of
American ports under careless skip

that there would be a decided reduc-

fewer deaths. Some of the injunc.

are as follows:
Don't overeat;l don't drink intoxi
Giants; sleep with your window open;
battle every day; always wash your

WESTERN MARYLAND|S
PLANS ARE APPROVED
Stockholders Ratify Plan for ConsoIi-
dalton at Baltimore Meeting
Yesterday.

Stockholders of the Western Mary
land Railway Company met in spe-
cial session yesterday and ratified the
plan for the consolidation of the yari-
Gus lines into compact organization.
They also ratified the financial plan
as previously outlined and which is
intended to raise money for the meet
ing of the outstanding notes and to
provide for the company's future
needs. There was no dissent to the
plans at the meeting and the mat
ter is now in the hands of the board
to carry out as rapidly as conditions
permit. The various details of the
plans were formulated by President
Carl R. Gray, with the approval of
the board.
The money to meet the outstanding
notes will be raised by a preferred
stock issue. This has already been
provided for without one dollar Of
commission to the company for an
underwriting or other guarantee for
its sale to raise the required amount
This is something unique in railroad
financing and it goes to show the con-
fidence those behind the Western
Maryland feel in the future of the
property There is also to be a
blanket mortgage for s150,000,000
which will take care of existing bond
ed Indebtedness and provide for the
future money needs of the company.
The plan has been worked out along
safe and conservative lines for all in
terests and tie prediction is that it
will be eminently successful.
