Germans Are Favored.

1t is persistently alleged that this
policy involves the favoring of Ger
man enterprises to the disadvantage of
those of England France or America
that Italian bankers, manufacturers
and merchants are so dominated by
the Banca Comerciale that they are
apt to see through it's Spectacles; that
il has its arms up to the elbows in
italian politics, and that its three
rulers pull the strings that make many
a parliamentary puppet jump: that it
openly exerted its influence to keep
Italy out of the war because of the
harm to business"
I only know that these things and
more are commonly believed. It is
sure that before the war this bank
was the representative of all the great
German financial and commercial in
terests. and that now-today-a part
of the funds of the American embassy
are deposited in it; that the American
Red Cross banks. in part at least
through it: that British officers are
notified that their checks will be hon
ored anywhere in italy by the branches
of the Ranca Comerciale. That it is
German in tone is sure. But its man
ayers say that German investments
were made through 1t simply because
it was the one great international
financial house of italy.
ceding the war Germany invested
5000 100000 in Italy. That stream of
gold had much to do in changing italy
from a very poor country to one which
was beginning to be prosperous.
Italy's largest international trade
balances were with Germany and with
her enemy-ally, Austria.

Seized Vessels Busy.

indicating that the task has been at
tended by success. the statement is
made by a prominent official connected
with the shipping board that every
seized vessel has been completely re-
paired and in service. Many of them
have made as many as three and four
round trips through the war zone.
Three of the former German vessels
have been the objects of successful at
tack by she submarines. The Actaeon,
formerly the Adamsturm, and the
Owasco. formerly the Allemannia. were
sunk, and the Armenia was hit by a
torpedo, but was saved after being
beached. Several other former German
ships have been attacked. but escaped.
The announced sinkings of British
ships for the year up to and including
the week ending January 23 have been
1.033 vessels. Of which 763 were over
/ 800 tons and 270 were under that fig
ure. The joint losses Of France and
Italy have averaged three to four large

Giolitti Pro-Gertnan.

The cooperation OF a well disciplined
and financially powerful German ele-
ment must have been a great aid to
Giolitti. He has never bothered to
hide his pro-Germanism. although
there are those who say that in the
present crisis he will forget politics
and become a patriot. .
Italy has always hated and feared
Austria. but whenever. as has several
times happened. that unpleasant part,
ner in the triple alliance basket was
discovered trying to steal the Italian
eggs. Germany stood Ita1y's friend,
There are cynics who say that Germany,
put Austria up to her tricks, in order
to save italy from them and thus make
sure of the italian affection. Some
Of the records do look surprisingly
that way. But italy did not see the
bug under the chip. She had a real
affection for Germany before this war
broke out.
These are unpleasant things to hear,
and therefore, by all the rules OF pub
licity in this war. they ought not to
be printed. But they happen to be
true. They make all the more won
derful that fine spirit OF nationalism
which is leading Italy to forget old
prejudices in q great new nams Of

Friendly With Germans.

1t may be unpleasant for the United
States and for Great Britain and for
France to have the fact plainly stated
that Italy was infinitely more friendly
before the war with Germany than with
any one of these states. But 1t can do
no harm to make this statement blunt
ly, except to the feelings of those peo-
pie who like to fool themselves It may

Naturally, the exodus of the popu-

other Venetian towns whether occu-
pied or threatened by the enemy. is of
great injury to their interests, but of
advantage for the remainder of italy.
These Venetiars, who felt most deeply
the need of war, who have seen it at
close quarters and who have learned
splendid resistance, have carried
throughout Italy their noble feelings.

Great Britain invested very little
money. relatively speaking. in Italy
before the war. What money she did
invest she invested on her own terms.
Broadly speaking, the Briton is a most
satisfactory man to do business with.
He is honest and conscientious and
truthful. But he is not obliging and
he is not polite. The Briton and the
Italian found infinite difficulty in un-

ers. So American vessels, totaling 71.0S1

owned ships. a total of 107 vessels, hav-
ing gross tonnage OF 6s6.49 leaving on
the credit side of the American ledger in
the account with the central powers
net gain Of 515,433 gross tons.
The loss of life caused by the sinking OF
the sixty-nine American ships was more
than 300 persons. however.
Percentage Small.
The percentage of sinkings Of Ameri-
can ships compared with the number OF
vessels which have sailed through the
war zone successfully is small. Records
Of the Department of Commerce show
that for the period beginning with Feb
ruary /, 1917. and ending with December
/ there were cleared from American ports
IN the foreign trade, ships aggregating
17.138, 900 net. or approximately A.s34.-
400 gross tons. The number of ships
making up the total of tons was not made
public by the department.
Further offsetting the loss OF tom
mage occasioned by the submarine war
fare, the United States through the
shipping board reauisitioned in Amer
more than 100000 gross tons. and
contracts have been awarded for SS4
ships. a large number of which are
now under way and are being rushed
to completion.
In addition, the shipping board on
October 10 last placed under govern

Included IN these requisitioned ves-
sells were twenty-one ships in great

commandeered twenty-four steamers

count and ready for launching. Virtual
ly all of these were brought to At
lantic coast ports and Immediately put
into service. Almost one-half of them
had to be cut in. two to get them
through the Welland canal, but the
task was accomplished and the, ships
rejoined in less than three months from
the time the contract was awarded.
Another difficulty which faced the
United States in the task Of putting to
sea vessels to offset the ravages of the
U-boats was the repairing Of the will

The Banca Comerciale of Milan is
the spider in this web of commercial
intrigue. the simile being most re-
spectfully intended, for I know of no
charge of improper conduct brought
against this bank. although vague and
windy allegations float on every side.
What seems to be the basic truth is
that years ago three German Jews

stand in Italian names. Most of the

the English did. There is a similarity

long since France deliberately offended
Italy in matter of important politics.
Neither the Englishman nor the
Frenchman was really liked in Italy

lishman was perhaps the more popular.
The German pursued his peaceful

Some Mill Conditions
Are Unbelievable

The reports made by the conserva-
tion inspectors visiting Marion coun-
ty have been compiled and a copy of
these will be sent to the state council
OF defense and the war risk bureau at
Washington.
These inspectors visited Aurora, Hub
bard, Monitor, Mt. Angel Silverton,
Pratum, Stayton, Turner, Jefferson
and Salem, where they inspected all
buildings containing food supplies or
materials used or can be used by the
government.
In Salem they inspected thirty three
places where recommendations were
made to lessen the fire hazard and i'm
prove the fire fighting facilities and
all recommended more precaution as to
prohibiting strangers to enter or lott
er in or about the premises.
In several towns near Salem they re-
ported the conditions in several flour
mills almost unbelievable, which have
been reported to the federal authori-
ties; also the lack of interest taken
by several owners in protecting what
food supplies they have in the build
ing.
For the state at large more than
100 reports have been filed and these
will be assembled by Insurance Com
missioner Wells.

This was illustrated few days ago
when the department had news of the

after the crew had landed.

by the patrol reports was that of a
