WASHINGTON.

AMSTERDAM. May 15.-An official dispatch from Berlin today says that now the main lines for the cementins of the alliance between Germany and Austria have been fixed, the political. military and economic negotiations will doubtless begin shortly.
 It Is obvious, adds the dispatch, that the political and military arrangements can be carried through faster than tho economic. which will probably take several months to complete.
 Closer Military Union The phrase in the official report of the emperor'S conference regarding ths consolidation and deepening of the all liance, says the Berlin Tageblatt, per mits of the assumption that the aim of the convention is a close military and political union and a complete blending of military resources.
 Germany, during the conference of the two empceors, agreed to the solu- tion of the Polish question desired by Austria on condition that Austria Hun gary conclude a 15 years convention with Germany. according to Vienna dispatch to the Berlin LokaI AnZieger.
 Complete union between Austria Hungary and Poland may shortly be 1 expected, the message adds. Are in Entire Accord Emperor William has sent this mes- sage to Emperor Charles:
 Many thanks for your friendly tele- gram. I am exceedingly glad you are so satisfied with your visit here.

As men are demobilized they will

OF labor after the war. the Countess
Loschi says. "the future is bright with
promise for the women Of Italy more
than 200. 900 of whom are at work on
farms and in munition plants.
Until the war started. she said, the
status Of woman in italy was one OF
complete eclipse by man." She was
not allowed to handle her own money,
for instance. without the consent OF
her husband. Woman, as such. had no
standing in court except as the chat
tel Of husband or father.
New laws. said the countess, were
being drafted which would elevate
Italian womanhood to n plane as high
as that enjoyed, by the women of any
other country. The time was coming.
she felt sure, when Italy would have
women legislators and when they
would be allowed to practice in the
law courts. The inconsistency OF the
present time, she said. was shown in
the case Of Miss Therese Labricola.
Italy's first woman lawyer and fore
most suffragist, who. altho competent
to teach jurisprudence TO our youths
in law university was barred from
practicing in the courts.
The changed attitude toward women
in Italy the countess attributed in part
to the great response made by her sex
to the appeals Of the government for
war loans. During the recent fourth
loan, she said, the women Of Milan
alone bought more than 100000 Ira
worth Of bonds and other cities did as
well. The government urged the women
to buy independently of their husbands
ana. thus. Willingly or not, broke one
of Italy's oldest traditions.
