RICH VAGABONDS.

A man arrested in Boston thought
he was giving a sufficient refuta-
tion Of the charge of idle and dis
orderly when he flashed $4,000
roll of bills.
The judge thought otherwise.
Quite unmoved by this display of
wealth, he sentenced the defend
ant to six months in Jail.
There was a time when such an
offender in Boston or almost any
where else, would have got off
with verbal rebuke, or at the
worst small money fine. Those
piping times of tolerance have van
iShed. There is now no more so
cial or judicial sanction for a rich
vagabond than a poor one.
That, by the way, is another lit
tie proof that the war for dcmoc
racy is winning at home as well as
in Italy and France.

COBB'S PEACE FORMULA.

Irwin Cobb says that America ha:
three tasks to perform in this war
They are;
First, to make the world a de
cent place for human beings to live
in;
Second to cure the only spot or
earth where gang Of autocratic
degenerates still believes it has a
divine right to rule over its fel-
low
Third, to knock the mania out
OF Germania,"
1t is 4 pretty good statement OF
the situation. On careful analysis
however, the three really hoil down
to one. ii we succeed in knock
ing the mania out of Germania,
the other two items will take care
OF themselves.
Mr.. Cobb deserves the thanks OF
the nation for furnishing this lucid
Cobbian peace formula"

SUGAR AND WHEAT.

France has cut her sugar allow
ance for household use to Is pounds
a wear per person. That makes four
ounces a week for the French, and
they are not at all sure OF getting
that.
They cannot possibly get it unless
we heed the request OF our food adj
ministration and cut down our
household consumption TO So
pounds per year, or II ounces per
week.
Surely we can get along with
three times as much sugar as the
French! 1t should be easier, too,
French! 1t should be easier, too,
because OF the big American con
sumption OF sugar in the form OF
candy, preserves and other factory
products. Our total consumption,
under the saving plan now urged,
will still be about 90 pounds year
apiece, or 49,. ounces a week, per
haps four times as much as the
French are getting.
The French bread ration has been
cut one-third. II it were cut much
more there wouldn't be any bread
ration. And remember that bread
plays u much more important part
in the French diet than it does in
ours-it is normally half the French
meal
1t is up to US to see that the
French do not go any hungricr than
they are already. They work and
light as bravely on their present re
duced diet as they ever did; but
there is a danger point that must
not be passed, and there is certainly
a limit to what this comfortable,
well-ied nation should ask its al
most exhausted allies to endure.
Every handful OF wheat flour, ev-
cry piece OF wheat bread that any
American consumes beyond his abb !
solute need. until the new crop
comes in, is taken out OF the mouth |
Of some French soldier, French war
worker, French woman or child.
What are we going to do about !
it: There is only one thing any .
American can do
save or France, which saved the
" urld rom the Hun.

on that stock, amounting to nearly

The decision will be viewed with
alarm by good many public serv-

The breach between the Republi-

widening. Declaring that the re-
fusal of George A. Glynn, chairman
of the state committee, to call a
meeting OF the Republicans OF the
state to discuss the coming cam

an opportunity for the orderly dis
cussion of current events and the
public expression of party views.
Senator'S Wadsworth and Calder
have joined in a call for a Republi-
can meeting at Saratoga Springs on
Iuly lS. This is altogether "unof-
fetal but it means that the anti
Whitman forces are in movement
to defeat the governors third term

Senator Sherman of Illinois has

ITALY WON WAR
DESPITE ODDS

-
Trentino was Italian by 10000 out of
It's 3SO,OUO population. The whole dis
tr1ct had retained the Latin culture in
spite of the efforts to Germanize II In
language and customs. Attempts at
rebellion had been put down ruthlessly
by the Austrian masters. Seeds of dis
sension sowed by the Austrians had
caused estrangement between the Ital-
ian lrredentists and the ~Jugo-Slavs,
whose interests since have proved to
be parallel.
h Italians had fought not only
against superior Austrian forces, but
against the physical difficulties pre-
sented In the mountainous districts OF
the frontier. In three years of fight
ing under the most difficult conditions
the Italians took from their hereditary
enemies prisoners numbering 4,489 Of
ficers and 1896 enlisted men. Ital-
ian engineers built $500 kilometers of
road and swung 1900 kilometers of
cable from cliff to cliff for the trans
portation Of troops and munitions.
Italy has called to arms little fewer
than 5.5O0,O00 men, Of which she has
lost 100000. In recent fighting on
the Austrian front Italy had at her
disposal only "a divisions to oppose
the 20 divisions of the enemy. In adj
dition Italy sent forces into France,
Albania, Macedonia and Palestine,
which, it is said, were greater than
the French, British and American
forces sent to aid Italy.
Not Prepared for War.
Italy did all this at q time when she
was not well prepared for war in her
industries and natural She
especially lacked coal.
The Trentino with the Italian occu-
patton could not be much more italian
In spirit than under the Austrian rule.
Trent, a city Of 10000 inhabitants, is
typically italian in customs and archi-
lecture. Such is the condition in Riva.
on Lake Garda, and other important
towns In the district. The rural dis
tricts, too, are almost completely Ital-
ian In language and spirit.
1t Is one Of the anomalies Of history
that such a province could remain so
long under an alien yoke. 1t was high
ly priced by the Hapsburgs for it's
military possibilities, a mountain
wedge projecting into Italy, as one
