Italy Spending 5 Millions Daily

Rome.-The war is costing Italy
numbers, about $5,000,000 a day. In
estimating the cost of the war the ex-
penditure incurred during the ten
months of Italy's neutrality for war
preparations as we'll as the money
spent during the 33 months of war up
to the end of last February are taken
into account. The estimate is only ap-
proximate. because besides the money
actually spent for war expenditure
payments made by the war office and
the admiralty for extraordinary ex-
penditure due to the war are included
in the calculation.
On the other hand the increased ex-
other government departments during
the period from August l, 1914, to Feb
ruary IS, 1913, are not taken into ac-
count Only the expenditure of the
three ministries of war, of the navy
and of munitions is added together Ii
order to afford an Indication of how
much the war Is costing Italy.
Cost of Warfare Grows.
The total extending over period of
two years and nine months when d.
yided into shorter periods reveals that
war expenditure is increasing. Thus,
while during the first quarter Of Italy's
Intervention, from June to August,
1915, S97, 100000 were spent every
month. during the last quarter, from
December. 1917, to February. 1918, the
average monthly expenditure increased
to s2S2, 600, 900, and 1t is therefore cal
culated that at present the war is
costing Italy s10,OOO,000 a day.

So far no serious attempt has been
made to improve the food situation in
Italy, which is gradually getting worse.
not so much on account of acute short
age as to disorganized distribution and
artificial increase of prices due to the
speeulations of middlemen and to ex-
tensiye boarding. Sensational revela-
lions are being made in the local press
about the profits of middlemen espe.
eially in respect to animal food. For
instance, it has been ascertained that
the lamb market has been cornered by
middlemen, who are buying lambs at
Il cents pound and selling them to
retailers at over SLIGO, with the re-
suit that the market prices of lamb
have risen TO almost 81 pound.
Profiteers Unchecked.
Strangely enough no action has yet
been taken against the denounced mid
dlemen while boarding is being re-
pressed in halfhearted way, despite
the fact that all the shops and restau-
rants raided afforded convincing proof
that cheese, fats and foodstuffs of
every description are being hidden and
sold at fancy prices. A few arrests
have been made, but the measures so
far adopted are inadequate to improve
existing conditions.
AS the patience of citizens is we'll
nigh exhausted, it is feared that popu-
lar dissatisfaction and resentment will
lead to disorders and thus weaken ma
tional resistance at time when the
situation is apt to become serious ow.
ing to an impending offensive on the
italian front. Radical and energetic
measures are therefore imperative.

The war department is so urgent in

BOLSHEV|K STRIKE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Further
information regarding the expulsion of
the Russian bolshevik representatives
from Switzerland was given today in a
statement from the Swiss legation. The
soviet agents had been admitted only
on condition they obey the laws of
Switzerland and were expelled. it was
said, only after they failed to heed re-
peated warnings.
Ever since the arrival in Swtzer-
land of the representatives Of the soviet
republic of Russia, their headquarters
have been the source of intrigue and
of revolutionary propa ganda," said the
statement The Swiss government,
which had admitted them only on con-
dition that they respect the laws of the
land, after repeated warnings, lately
requested them to leave the country.

exploiting the feelings of discomfort
and unrest. resulting from general
economic conditions, threatened to call
a general strike if the measures taken
by the authorities were not revoked. In
reply the federal government summoned
congress, whose members almost unan-
imously endorsed its policy, expelled the
Russian representatives and carried
out the proposed mobilization. The
general strike was called. but promptly
and Internationally revoked when the
leaders realized that public opinion
theoretically condemned their action.
There is every reason to believe
that the efforts to introduce bolshevik
ism in Switzerland have thus been
doomed to utter failure. This triumph
of true liberty and genuine democracy
over violence and anarchy will nowhere
be greeted with more satisfaction than
in the United States"

DARKE|V CRAY HAIR.
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR DARK
EMS so NATURALLY THAT
NOBODY CAN TELL

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays We get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears: but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that. be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives il
an appearance of abundance.

TAKE STEPS TO
AROUSE TRADE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Immedi-

South and Central America has been
suggested to the shipping board by the
United States section of the interna-
tional high commission, a pan-Ameri-
can organization to promote commerce
and trade relations between the United
States and the southern republics.
Secretary McAdoO, as chairman OF
the United States section, issued
statement today emphasizing the i'm
portance for Immediate Latin Ameri-
can trade and saying the official and
commercial interests of Latin America
insist on better transportation facili-
ties as basis for closer commercial
and financial relations.
'On July 10, 1915, l addressed a COM
munication," said Mr.. McAdoo, Ito
delegates at the first pan American
financial conference, emphasizing the
necessity of united effort 10 provide
adequately for the needs of their COM
merce and to enable them to avail
themselves of the markets of the
United States. Much has interviewed
since 1915 to delay, and in many re-
spects to make more difficult, the full
fillment of the task but there is, how
ever, strong desire on the part of
every agency of this government to
contribute, within the measure of its
power, toward giving TO our Latin
American commerce the most adequate
facilities"

ties and towns in the state had strug
sled with the disease, used stringent

Plea for Action
After a discussion as to whether the
business places should be opened or
continued closed whether vaccine
should be placed at the disposal of the
public, free of cost and with physi-
clans to administer it, whether the
wearing of the masks did any good,
and whether a strict quarantine could
be enforced, the meeting seemed little
advanced toward the accomplishment
of things
1T seems" said Dwight B. Heard,
that what We want in Phoenix is ac-
ton. We are not interested in the diff
ferent views of men. we want con-
certed action. 1t is evident that con-
'certed action has not existed between
the state and city health officers. 1t
is our business to devise a plan of
action, a method best to be followed
and then to have the authorities say
to the people you must obey these
rules. The crowds should be stopped,
no matter where they congregate A
quarantine should be enforced. Do not
attempt to enforce vaccination, but es-
tablish stations where it may be ad-
ministered free of cost. | suggest that
this meeting proceed to the appoint
ment by the president of the Maricopa
