UNHAPPY KINGS GUARD.
Once Aristoeratic Italian Soldier JeaI.
Gus Of Man In Trenches.
-Cnrrespon dence Associated Pres

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Rome. April S.-Among the most IN
happy men in Italy are said to be the
sixty soldiers OF the kings guard who
are not permitted to go 10 the front
and fix mt ike their brothers. The rea-
son for this restriction is that these
sixty men could probably not be re-
placed if killed. injured or taken pris-
oners. They are chosen with the ut
most care not only as regards their
habits and training but for their
height, the minimum of which is six
feet.
They begin where other men stop
growing" according to a popular say
ing. Many of them are even seven
feet in height They are chosen from
the carabinieri or military police and
must have absolutely unstained rec
ords. Each newly enrolled man, II he
accepts the appointment, must agree
to remain for a term of five years in the
guard, after which he may or may not
re-enlist. During that period, also he
may not marry.
The guard and their horses ar,
quartered inside the grounds of the
royal palace on the Quirinal Hill. The
guard does sentinel duty inside these
grounds when King Vivtor Emmanuel
IS in Rome and also accompany him
on state occasions, as on that Of March

along the Corso TO visit the tomb Of his
father IN the Pantheon, the anarchist

burned in the trenches abroad. The

Thousands of these candles have
been made, absorbing in the conStruc-

nouncement be given if possible as

sent to Europe. This decision is

Murphy. reporting the results of in

less useful in the trenches and can be
made to advantage by women and

WAR BENEFITS ARGENTINE.
Financial and Economical Conditions
Greatly Strengthened.

Buenos Aires, April 24.-Argentina's
financial and economic condition APP
parently is being strengthened as the
war drags on. The republic recently
signed a convention for financing the
sale of several million tons of cereals
to the entente allies, which really
amounted to huge loan, and there
have been other events in financial
circles which show that Argentine
credit abroad and confidence at home
are progressing hand in hand.
The fact that is being most widely
commented upon by the Argentine
newspapers is that confidence at home
has become so strong that stocks OF
the National Mortgage Bank known
as "credulas hipotecarias". are being
quoted at par for the first time IN
their history. These credulas are
looked upon in financial circles as ba-
fometers Of the nations condition, FOR
they are shares Ia bank which is
backed by the government and they
