Yankee Swaps Tales
With A King

New Nork.-Despite the veracious
adventures of Mark Twains Yankee
in the Court of King Arthur. il is an
unusual thing for a Yankee of the
present day TO have a chance to
swap yarns with a king. as man TO
man. Hamilton Holt. editor of THE
Independent who has just returned
to this city from Italy. had that ex-
perience. Mr.. Holt went to Italy as
a representative of the Italy-Amer-
ica Society of this country, at the
time of the celebration of ltaly's
third war anniversary While there
he had an informal interview with
the king, in the course of which
they exchanged numerous anecdotes,
a pastime of which Victor Emanuel
is very fond.
One of the kings stories illustrated
the ingenuity of Italian war prison.
ers in Austria in communicating with
their families. One Italian private
wrote home from an Austrian prison
describing at great length the splen-
di6 treatment he was receiving, COM
Portable quarters and clothing. good
care and plentiful food. nothing but
kindness from the guards. In
short" he concluded. they treat me
in every way as though ] were Bap-
tiste."
The Austrian censor supposed he
referred to John the Baptist. as a
climax of eulogy and readily passed
the letter.

of a NANCY old cur suffered to live
in an outbuilding of the soldiers
home and subject to general neglect
and abuse
The true meaning of the letter was
therefore eloquently obvious to his

Ireland to Start
Search For Ancient
DEPOSITS of Gold

DublIn.-Gold mining in Ireland is
a possibility of the near future hinted
at in a report of a committee organ
ICED here to make a survey of Ire
lands mineral wealth. 1t is believed
that ancient deposits of gold. which
were worked in the late eighteenth
century along the Ballinvally stream.
might be found commercially profit
able under modern mining methods
According to the published state
ment the first discovery of gold along
the Ballinvally was made in 1896
when a nugget weighing half an
ounce was picked up. The search
continued for two months. and at the
end of that time 1855 ounces of pure
gold had been found.
The gold found ranged from tinv
atoms to nuggets weighing over a
pound. One nugget weighed twenty-
two ounces. measuring four inches in
length by three in breadth. A giIded
plaster cast of this nugget which was
retained by the finder has recently
been placed on exhibition at Trinity
College. Dublin.
AS late as 1856 a nugget weighing
six ounces was picked up in the
Ba1linvally. and il is believed thar
with the latest modern methods a sub
stantial profit could be made from in
tensive operations in this district The
spots proposed for experiment are at
Cronehane. Balhnvally. Crogan-Mor
and Killahurian.

WOMAN PROBLEM
IS WORKING OUT
Pennsy's Female Help Making
Good in Many and
Varied Branches

The woman problem is no longer
uncertain with the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The Philadelphia division
is now falling into line and will soon
nave big army of women. Just
now the female forces number sew
erdl hundred. Training facilities to
ascertain ability of women is bring
ing good results.
An analysis of the figures for the
record of labor turn over during the
ten-day period between May 81 and
June .. inclusive. on all divisions of
the pennsylvania Railroad east OF
pittsburgh has been made. During
the period named 4,777 employees
left the service and 5,122 new ones
were hired. This net gain, however,
occurred during the last two days
OF the period named and was ap-
parently sporadic. These figures re-
late only to divisional forces and
exclude those in the general Offices
Women succeed Men
a remarkab Bile thing shown up in
this list is that during that period
in question 1,454 more women were
hired than meanwhile left the serv-
ice. 1t also shows that during that
period of time 900 male employees
were lost as against a gain of 1915
female workers. The total divisional
forces average approximately 150,-
600 and records kept through the
year show that the rate of turn over
is approximately 100 per cent.
The Central Grand division of the
Pennsylvania, with headquarters in
Williamsport, composes the Will
Transport, Remove, Sunbury and Ell
mira divisions. In May the number
of women employed on this grand
division was 774 and this number
has since been increased until now
it is approximately 1000.
What Women Are Doing
To give an idea of what the wom-
en- are doing it may be stated that in
May there were thirty-four women
car cleaners on this grand division.
two women machine hands in the
boiler shop, one in the blacksmith
shop and three in the machine shop
at Remove. There We're fourteen
women shop hands on the Williams
port division and twelve track la
borers, with a total of forty-one
track laborers on the grand division.
The Williamsport division had three
women tower cleaners. four locomo-
tive cleaners. two cooks. twenty
three station clerks. one draughting

HUNS PROPOSE
PEACE TO ITALY
Usual Attempt to Break Down
Morale Tried Again
by Germany

Washington.-That Germany has
offered IAN honorable peace to Italy
was disclosed by Premier Orlando
before the Italian Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday. according to Rome
ca bles.
In the course of statement to the
chamber Premier Orlando referred
to the announcement which was
made by him about a fortnight ago
that the Central Powers had made
overtures TO Italy for separate
peace. The premier's comment that
this proposal had been rejected
promptly by the Italian government
was greeted by an enthusiastic dem-
onstration.
Advices received here do not indi-
cate the nature of the temptations
held out to Italy, but reports from
Rome, current at the time first news
was given of this attempt to break
the solidarity of the Entente alliance
indicated that Emperor Charles was
the prime mover in the attempt at
peace negotiations and that he had
held out a promise of extension of
the Italian border northward in rec
oSnition of Italy's predominating
influence over the eastern shore of
the Adriatic. besides some minor
concessions relating to the status of
Italian subjects in Austria.
The peace move was launched re
cently'-probably as a step in antici-
patton OF the Austrian drive. These
are the same tactics employed by
the Germans before their last as
Sault on Italy designed to break
the morale of the Italian troops.
That the Teutons would pursue
such course was forecast some
time ago by the Italians.
AT that ii was stated that Ger
many would also extend her proffer
through the usual concealed chan
nels TO other powers fighting against
her.
