white hart which, after a thousand
years, was killed by Agathocles, king
of Sicily. Pliny records that Alexan'
der caught white stag and placed a
collar of gold about its neck; then
this was done by julius Caesar, and
was handed down from hero to hero,
with the usual changes in story to
prevent anachronism. There was once
a white hart caught in Windsor for

France and one in Germany, the last
of which was killed by Charlemagne.
Then after three centuries, Richard
Coeur de Lion slew it, the whole story
being inscribed in stone on the walls

NEW WAR MINISTER
HAS MANY PROBLEMS

ROME, Jan. 5.-CBy Mail)-The
rev war minister, General Caviglia,
aeyotes much Of his activities to the
lerions problem Of rehabilitation,
charging principally on economical
concessions This has caused a
good Impression. lie also has said
he will improve the facilities for
lending all soldiers to their homes
overseas whenever they returned to
italy for the war. In order to expe-
dite the placing Of discharged sol
diers at work steps are being taken
gradually to lessen the work per-
formed by prisoners.
The problem of rehabilitation for
some time has raised hopes and
fears. When the armistice was
signed many persons thought demob-
ili2ation could begin at once. This
elief was strengthened by the e.
forts Of the disloyalists who secretly
circulated leaflets which gave the
false impression that gradual and
collective discharges from the army
were about to take place, The ef-
lects of this seditious work soon ap-
reared when all the newspapers be-
gan to express the demand heard in
every part of Italy, whether Of those
who wanted to know when demobil-
ization would begin and in what
way; whether of those who wanted
the press to urge the speedy dis
charge of one or another class. of
recruits, or of those who insisted on
immediate discharge.
The government which alone has
The responsibility and the duty to
choose the most favorable time, as
we'll as the means has bewun the
work. IT is being carried out with
due regard to the fact that the sign
ing of the armistice does not mean
peace, and that until peace is signed
the future may hold surprises in
store for which all the allies should
keep themselves prepared.
The other fact which concerns
the government is that the Italian
army must guard frontier of
great length under the terms Of the
armistice; must maintain the lines
of Albania and of Libia and hold
strategic points of enemy territory
Besides there is tn Jugo Slav peril

GERMANS FOMENTED
JUC0-SLAV REVOLT

ROME, Feb. 1.-(By mail)-Ad-
vantage is taken of the trouble be-
tween Italy and the Jugo Slavs by
certain newspapers published in
German, which assert that move
ment is on foot in Italy to bring
about an alliance with German Aus
tria. That such a movement exists
in Italy cannot be asserted from ex-
act knowledge There is no denial,
however, that factions here do SYM
pathize with the Germans, and it
would be no surprise if they should
become the. promoters, if not a po-
litical alliance. of commercial tie.
The fiction was put in circulation
by the Innsbrucker, which, after re-
marking that German Austria should
not allow the opportunity to pass
unnoticed, added:
THE war with Italy is ended and
the German people (admitting that
Italy shall respect German terri
tories) has not and never will have
the idea Of redress Hatred cannot
change itself forthwith to sympa-
thy. The hatred which in the first
period of the war was united to
scorn, changed little by little at
hatred accompanied by respect. A
certain reserve will do no harm;
but between German Austria and
Italy wholly reunited there cannot
and should not exist hostility any
longer"

tria is weak and in need Of support

Speaking of these propositions
concerning an alliance with our enc
mics, the newspapers quote an inter-
view which the correspondent of the
Idea Rationale of Budapest recent
ly had with Count Karolyi, the act
ual president of the Hungarian re-
public, who said of Italy:
Il understand the legitimate an
tipathy of your country toward the
Hungarians who took the part of
dishonor; but that Hungary is dead.
You killed it with your arms, and
we buried it with the republic. We
are different people; we wish to re-
vive the beautiful and dear tradi-
tions of the long ago. On this side
of the Adriatic we are perhaps the
ones most interested in having rela-
tions with you"

The Hague tells me, says writer
in Westminster (England) Gazette,
that an exhibition has just been
held there of work done in Germany
by our men who have been trans
