Changes on Italian Front.

There have been changes on the Italian
front. The German divisions have all
gone to the west front, leaving only
nights in Venice, Mestre, Treviso. Padua
and Vicenza with terror
They accomplish nothing save to
show their utter lack of respect for art
and decency Gen. Boroevic has re-
lieved the archduke of the supreme COM
mand and his place as commander OF
the two IsonZo armies has been taken
by Gen. Lirchback.- with headquarters
at Udine. His armies on the Piave are
commanded respectively by Gen. Worms
and Gen. Henriquer.
For some time the number of enemy
divisions diminished sensibly, but, now
newcomers from Galicia have raised
the number to about sixty. or approxi-
mately the same as before the Ger
mans left Only few Austrians are
on the French front. possibly because
Emperor Charles refuses to yield the
last rag of his dignity to Germany's
kaiser, he feeling that he has no men
to spare.
Nevertheless. there are many reasons
for believing that the Germans are
likely to choose the Italian front as
the point Of attack. Their constant
policy has been to attack the weakest
Of their>enemies and put them hors de
combat. Thhe first attempt against Italy
failed, but second might succeed.
I believe I am right in saying that
nothing would SO fill the Italians with
confidence and certainty of success as
to meet the next Austrian offensive
side by side with the American COM
raGeS.

New Industrial Era Expected to
Dawn in Spring in Many Sec

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
DUBLIN. January 25.-The develop
ment of aircraft factories and shipyards
in Ireland this spring is expected to
open up a new industrial era in many
sections of the country. Lack of facili-
ties for technical training in the south
of Ireland has been a Iong-standing
problem which the new yards and fac
tories will help to solve.
For the present. the business of air
plane manufacture will be carried on in
existing buildings that are being placed
at the disposal of the government, but
as rapidly as possible new factories of
the most up-to-date type will be erect
ed. The development is not intended to
be merely of temporary character.
Flight stations and training depots
parts of the island are permanent
structures. as it is believed that Ire
land, from its geographical position,
Will have an important share IN the
postwar commercial development of
aviation. It will be the gateway for
every attempt at transatlantic flight,
attempts which are expected to be fos-
tered and encouraged by the govern
ments of both the United States and
Great Britain.
Shipbuiiding will center in Dublin and
Cork. Efforts are being made to secure
a national shipyard for Dublin which

HUNS LIVING IN MEXICO
ACTIVE IN PROPAGANDA
Reported They Are Supplying Funds
to German Minister for Pro-
noting Teuton Cause.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, February 20.-Ger-
mans in Mexico. especially at the cap
ital, are supplying H. Won Eckardt, the
German minister here, with the sinews
of war for the extensive propaganda
campaign that is being carried on by
the legation, both through newspapers
and private agents. There has been
much speculation as to what means the
German minister used to secure funds
to maintain the large legation. his
sumptuous homo and the Teutonic
propaganda since he was cut or from
the fatherland, but 1t is now learned
that German banks, business houses
and individuals are buying his notes
on the imperial government.
The claim has been advanced repeat
edly that Won Eckardt, deprived Of the

municating with his government. was

whence they were sent by submarine to
Berlin. It was stated that he was be-
ing supplied with funds via this route,
but the enormous sums being spent by
the legation seemed to make this claim
untenable. Despite denial by the Span

that Won Eckardts letters are being
carried on its ships. that messages from

BERLIN MUSEUM GETS
BIG STAMP COLLECTION
Will Of Frenchman, Believed to
Have Been Made Before War,
Gives Huns Exhibit.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERN, January 25.-The worlds great
est stamp collection. at present in Paris.
and valued at $2.5oO.ooo. has been be-
queathed to the Berlin Postal Museum
It was the property of Philip la Renetiere
wealthy Frenchman. who died at his
home in Switzerland last year. 1t is sup
posed that the will was framed before the
war, as there is no reason to believe that
the owner had pro-German sympathies in
the present conflict.
The Berlin Postal Museum has already
one of the finest stamp collections in ex-
istence, but this bequest. if the French
courts allow it to stand. will put it out OF
reach of any rivals.
La Renetiere commenced his collection
In 1864, and spent upon it the greater
part of a large fortune. 1t includes the
only known specimen of the 1856 one-cent
British Guiana, the most priced stamp in
the world. said to be valued at s25. 600.
The collection has never been exhibited.
and it was always supposed that the
owner intended to leave it to the city of
Paris.
