ARE JUCOSLAVS ENEMIES

Some of the Italian propagan
dists have attempted to Justify
their annexatiOnist program by
the assertion that the Jugoslays
are the enemies of Italy, that they
are likely to combine with the Gel
mans against Italy, and that the
annexation of Fiume as well as
of the territory allotted to Italy
by the treaty is justified as pre-
cautiOnary measure, no less than
as a reward for Italy's sacrifices
in the war.
1t is undeniable that many
CrOatain troops and some Bos-
mans were the most implacable
enemies of Italy in the fighting
from the IsonzO to the Piaye. But
are the Serbs enemies? The TIA
lians did not think so in the Win
ter of 1915, when they trans
shipped the remnants of the Ser
bian Army from the Albanian
ports to Corfu. And so far as a
reward for sacrifices is concerned,
Serbia's sacrifice is proportions
tely greater than that of any
other country in the alliance. OF
the 12,000,000 Jugoslavs, 5000,
900, the populations of Serbia and
Montenegro, were formally and
openly allied with Italy and the
rest of the nations combined
against Germany. <Of the 1000,
900 Jugoslavs under Austro Hun
garian sovereignty in 1914 many
thousands deserted like the Cze-
and joined the armies
of their enemies. here were Jugos

SOME EARLY SET-BACKS.

When we acquired the street car
and lighting property in 1906 it was
estimated that further investment
would be needed to bring the property
to an earning basis.
Our purchase was based on an cs-
innate of future expense for develop
ment. The preliminary estimate was
made in good faith and was as nearly
accurate as possible in advance of
actual performance.
But every extension, every develop
ment, has cost from two to three
times the original estimate.
The Caguas line was no sooner built
than floods made reconstruction of a
considerable portion necessary. This
work and reconstructing the trolley
system were at their height when the
1907 panic made financing almost inn
possibly expensive.
The set-backs, while discouraging.
and costly, did not cause us to lose
faith in our task or in the belief
that when finished thousands of
people would be benefited by the COM
pletion of our undertaking.
