real Russian people and they want
the allies TO send sufficient forces to
guarantee a speedy end to the reign
OF terror by the boisheviki. whom the
peasants regard as fanatical savages.
Meanwhile, poverty in the villages
Is increasing. There is no kerosene
or candles and the people have gone
back three centuries, using a primi-
tive iron lantern, in which they burn
birch faggots for light. Having had
no tobacco for many months. they are
smoking dried moss and tea Ere
quently, they halt river boats and
offer to trade great quantities Of pro-
duce for one cheap cigaret.
The american Red Cross is taking
steps to relieve the shortage.

What Italy VIII Gain.

Italy, in a treaty with France and
Russia just before her entrance into
the war in 1915. was guaranteed parts
of Istria and Dalmatia, which the
principle OF nationality demands shall
go to a new free nation sprlnE1ng
from the ashes Of the dual monarchy.
Here again I think Americans need not
assume that Italy will prove unrea-
sonable, or that her former demands
are in irreconcilable conflict, as they
appear TO be, with the new world
spirit of peace which we are out 10
get For it must be remembered that
Italy, at the time her territorial pro-
gram was framed, looked forward TO
a world Of wars Of violence. and felt
compelled to seek safety IN the old
guarantees Of strategic frontiers and
economic advantages over her neigh
bors.
It has been said by Italians that the
Adrfatic is one Of the lungs Of italy,
by which they meant that the posses
sion Of this sea was vital to the safety
Of the country. These views, though
still held by some. have Of late been
giving away TO the feeling that, IN
der a world of international comfy
and guarantees. strategic require
ments need no longer be regarded as
Of the same Importance. while the
doctrine OF the league OF nations and
the inspiring utteranee OF president
Wilson have made many converts
among important Italians.
The recent recognition by baron
SonninO. the foreign minister Of the
JugO-Slav nation. disposes OF what
was long a boyle among many entente
new Servia were in such conflict with
those OF Italy that their rival claims
TO the same territory would not be
satisfied without conflict

The naturalization Of the Darda-

a point upon which all the allies are
