she has all of her young sons mo
bilized and under her immediate con-
trol to lessen the percentage of hit
eracy in italy.
Previous to the war the large per-
centage Of Italians who could not read
and write was not so much due to
the fact that italy did not have suffi-
cient educational facilities as to con-
stitutional objection on a certain part
of her population to being educated,
This was especially the case with dis
tIicts IN the extreme southern portion
Italy.
With all of these people under arms
ard under military discipline now. IT.
41yi hopes before demobilization can
AXE place to have them an at. least
aapable of reading and writing. u
One of the last step~ - this end
has been an order by the italian gov
arHment for 1iOO0.Q00 copy books and
100 600 spelling books, These viii be
placed In all of the recreation rooms
that have been set aside for the use
Of the soldiers both at the front and in
repose. locations. other assistance and
Inducements win also be offered to

Donohoe also called the attention of Mir Maoney to the fact that he did not to be backed by any of the known Democrats; that his present political manager, Frank Aldrich formerly of Nome, and o. P Hubbard, for merly of Valdez, could hardly qualify as bona hde Democrats
 When the attention of MT.

Maloney that the latter would get in the entire Territory 200 Democratic votes at the primaries MT. Donohoe said that what he did concede that MT. Maloney would get all of the votes of the Wickersham machine in the primaries, that o. P. Hubbard, John Frame, pr, F. M. Boyle, Frank Aldrich and James Wickersham could induce into the Democratic primaries and vote for Maloney, as Wickersham has contestant candidate for the Republican nomination and therefore does need the vote of the primaries.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-lntense indiqnation is felt by the people ot Rumania over the peace terms i'm posed by the Germans.
 With it's military force scattered by reason of the armistce. its strateg'' cal position is hopeless, and there is nothing left but for Rumana to yield to the German demands.
 The Royal Family are greatly de- pressed over the course of events Both the King and Queen express the hope that America will sympa- thixe with them and help them, in- steam of condemning them.
 Germany has control of the Ruman- Ian railways for a period of 15 years, and has possession of the four prin- cipaI fortified passes through the carpathian mountains. German goods are allowed to enter Rumania free of charge, under the arrangements dictated by Germany, but all goods from Rumania to Ger many are regulated under the old German tariff.
