only port south of Trieste communicat'
ing with the interior by broad dgause
railroad 1t is the one practicable out
let to the southern Slavs from the IN
terror to the sea. In the hands Vi
Italy it condemns the Jugo-SlaVs 10
economic servitude and the very mo
ment that they have achieved polltlca'
unity and independence. Baron son
nino is demanding this sacrifice, please
remember. not in accordance with the
treaty of London. but in defiance OF H.
The case of Dalmatia is different.
There France and Great Britain are
bound by treaty and must carry it into
effect if Italy insists, though they
have urged her, for her own sake, to
moderate her terms. But the United
States has a right to demand revision
of this treaty. President Wilson points
out that the conditions contemplated
in the treaty have changed that there
is not longer an Austria-H
against which Italy must remain ON
guard, but a small and friendly state
which has no navy and never heeu
build one unless forced to do so by
the aggressions of big and greedy
neighbor. Italy has 35,OOO,OO0 inhabit-
ants. The JugoSlaV state has perhaps
1000 600. The terrific problem OF
Italian defense in the Adriatic may
be envisaged from these figures.
In Damatia, too. Italian press agents
make much of the Italian population,
but these claims are merely laughable.
According to the last census Dalmatia
contained Gas, ,GG6 inhabitants, of whom
.G99 were Jugo-Slavs. and only 49,
OPS Italians. The claim that Austria
Hungary has counted Italians as SlaVs
is discounted by the Italian writer,
Prezzolini who points out that back
in 1893. when the Italians took the cen
sus in these parts only 10000 out OF
800. 900 We're classed as Latins.
The Jugo-Slavs have marred their
own case by blunders and violent Ian
guage, but their case at bottom is
sound. Italy has no just claim to the
eastern coast of the Adriatic south OF
the Istrian Peninsula.

The Adriatic tangle can be under
stood only by going back to its origin
in 1866. In that year Italy, as the ally
of Prussia against Austria, received
the province of Venetia. which she fail
ed to get in alliance with Louis Napo-
leon seven years before. But at the
instigation of Bismarck, who meant to
bind Austria TO the Prussian charloJ
wheels, the Italian frontier was drawn
in such wise as to leave half million
Italian and some most valuable terri
tory still in the hands OF the Hapsburgs
Austria retained the Trentino. that cor

Naturally. Italian statesmen cher

at the first chance. They found their
chance in the present war, but they
seized il with small regard to the right

hard bargain with the allies at London
before they would enter the war, and
now are trying to drive harder bar

But the treaty of London in April

she was not assigned the town Of

tia is now part of the Jugo-Slav state.
The allies at this time expected 10

on Gainesville, when the sun was low
All dusty in the afterglow,
The streets lay lstless. row on row,
And cars We're rolling rapidly.
But Gainesville sees another sight,
When stars shine in the dead of night
A vision of a brighter light
To brighten up her scenery.
~
In clothes of toll were they arrayed
Each workman had a pick and spade,
And none to do, did seem afraid,
To join the noble revelry.
Then shook the streets with timber
riven,
All rushed TO work, no one was driven
And louder than the bolts of heaven
Far flashed the street artillery.
And faster yet the work did go,
The chug holes melted like the snow;
The paved streets glistened row on row,
The work was done rapidly.
'Tis morn, but scarce the rising sun
Can pierce the rolling clouds of dun;
My dream is past, 1t was such fun,
1t seemed to me reality.
Oh, may il happen. On, ye brave.
Our town must live. 1t is no grave,
Wave, Gainesville! All thy banners
wave,
And charge with all stability!
We must build streets. we must be

Wen pave them. too. We'll be complete

ing the revolt of the Jugo- Slavs which
eliminated in the seizure of the Aus
trian fleet and the proclamation Of
Southern Slav independence.
Yet almost as soon as victory was
assured Italian leaders began to revert
to the old policy OF annexation. which
had caused so much trouble. Baron
Sonnino has been the leader in all
this campaign OF reaction, and he has
at last carried Premier Orlando along
with him. When the peace conference
assembled the Italian delegates refused
to meet the Jugo Slavs, and demanded
not only their pound of flesh, as pro-
vided by the treaty of London. put
the town of Fiume. which, as stated
above, was expressly reserved under
that treaty 10 the Croats.
In substance, Italy says TO France
and England: You must keep sacred
the treaty OF London in Dalnatia,
and you must let me violate the treaty
of London in Fiume."
In bolstering up this preposterous
claim, the majority of the population
of Fiume is Italian. 1t is. But ltaly
cannot annex Fiume without annexing
its suburbs and a strip of land con
