HOPE SPRINGS
ETERNAL

Hope springs eternal in the hu-
man breast" is an old and long
lived adage of the English speaking
peoples, and maybe many others. 1T
is true, but misleading. The fact Is
that in the larger issues that becloud
whole lives hope is often replaced by
resignation. One finds out how thin
was the glory Of his untroubled
times, and that the happiness that
was sought so eagerly and hopefully
really amounted to featureless con-
tentment. Having lost it once for
all, man can find it in himself to
enjoy something else.
The boy Graves to be a cowboy,
a soldier, an adventurer or a great
statesman. He grows up thru high
school and tries his hand at counter
jumping. Finally you find him con-
tentedly raising small family on
$40 week. He is utterly happy,
having given up all his widest
dreams.
A college man goes into the pro-
fession of engineering to make him.
self a big man, leader. He winds
up, perhaps, as draughtsman in
somebody elses contract office, and
he enjoys life.
But it is not all in the resign
ment to ones made caliber, either
Most men are finally satisfied with
their own achievements in the world
They see the futility of former de-
sires and ambitions. A person can
lose nearly everything he at first
holds dear, excepting his immediate
family, and still jog along quite mer-
rily on the down slope of his life.
When a man finds out what is to
be he usually shrugs his shoulders
and excuses the fates OF all NAL
intent. "As it is, so it is,' he says
and that ends it.
One would think that 0. Henry
should have lost all interest in life
when, from the free life of an ad-
venturer in South America, he was
dragged into great stone prison
and confined for several long years
But he got into work he liked, in
the pharmacy of the prison, and
passed away much time writing sto,
ries that afterwards made him fine
name in literature. A man gets used
to prison life, so long as he doesn t
pine, but engages his interest in
something he likes.
General Pershing lost wife and
children in a fire at his home while
he was campaigning. 1t could not
be helped, nor the loss ever made up
. But he kept ON campaigning, and in
the great war took no small part al
the leaders counsels lover there. y
He had great work to do, and he
could live without personal happi,
ness.
The loss of happiness should not
mean the loss of reason, or peace OF
mind 1t is only a weak one thai
must pine away at being deprived OF
the easy blessedness others have
without effort.
A young man thinks he cannot be
happy without certain rewards in
life. But they in their latter days
take what is sent them with a good
grace. 1t takes an exceptional form
of stimulus to make man continue
after the things he at first believes
are essential to his happiness.
When rewards come, in later days
the man is too much engrossed ir

chine at Crossing-Did Not
Heed Warning.

Lawton. Mich.-F'ive persons, one
man, one woman and three children,
were killed instantly when west
bound mail train crashed into an auto
mobile in which they were riding. The
bodies of the man and one of the chill
dren were identified as George Pola-
kOw and the 12-year-old son, who lived
on a farm near Pawpaw. The woman

cago, and the other two children her
daughters, one 10 years old and the
other years old, who have been Wis
iring at the Polakow home. The sta
ton platform, few yards away, was
crowded with persons waiting for an
eastbound train when the accident took
place. The machine and its occupants
were tossed high in the air. According
to witnesses, a fiagman was standing
on the eastbound tracks when che auto
mobile approached. Instead of needing
the warning flag it is said the driver
ran his machine on the tracks in front
of the train.

Montreal. - Seven persons were
burned to death when in fire on
scenic railway at an amusement resort
near the city,. The bodies Of three
men, three women and boy were re-
covered from the ruins. Police feared

CLOSER RELATIONS
WITH U. S. URGED
NiTTI, ITALIAN PREMIER, WANTS
CLOSER ECONOMIC RELATIONS
WITH THE UNITED STATES.
There Is No Conflict of Interests Be-
tween the Two NatIons-Both Coun-
tries Striving For Further Realixa-
ton of Benefits of Free Government.

Rome.-Francisco Nitti, italian Pre-
mier, in an interview dealt at length
with Italy's efforts In the war and her
ambitions for the future. Particular
stress was laid by the Premier on
Italy's desire for closer economic re-
lations with the United States. He de-
clared that Italy was ripe for exploita-
ton by American business.
II find no difficulty in speaking plain
ly," said Signor Nittl to the CORE
spondent. Having been in America,
know something Of the great institu-
lions she has built up, industrally, 80
cially and politically. 1t is with feel
Ing of great pleasure, therefore, that
communicate to Americans this mes
sage as the head of the Italian govern
ment.
"My sentiments toward America are
known to all there. l have the stern
conviction that one of the essential
tasks of my Government will be the
establishment not only Of most cordial
relations with the United States, but
a genuine admission by the two ma
lions that there is community OF
ideals and sentiments directed toward
the common conception of democracy.
"There is no conflict Of interest be-
tween us. We are two demOcracles
striving for a still further realization
of the benefits of free governments"
"Italy's past fills pages OF history
with glory and renown," he said. IN
democracy one does not live upon
the vanquished past, but upon the work
and effort which the past established
which the present must strive at all
costs to perpetuate. 1t is in the per-
Torrance of this task that the Govern
ments of today are concerned most
deeply-the building and restoring OF
the material wrecks of war to insure
healthier enjoyment of the principles
so clearly defined"

FOOD CONTROL ADVOCATED
Seizure Of Private Stocks Held IN
Cold Storage Urged BY PresI'
dent Wilson.

Washington. Defore mas
President Wilson delivered a message
to Congress which brought forth such
demonstrations Of approval as the
message he delivered. His declarations
that there could be no settled condi-
lions here or elsewhere until the treaty
of peace is out Of the way and that
the work Of liquidating the war has
become the chief concern Of America
and the other nations Of the world
called forth a great demonstration
from the Democrats, and his handling
of the labor situation pleased both Re-
publicans and Democrats, both sides
joining heartily in the applause When
he said passion and disregard for the
rights of others have no place in the
councils Of free nation" there was
general and hearty applause from both
sides of the chamber, and when he
added there must be no threats the
applause was renewed with increased
vigor until it swelled into a climax Of
cheers.
When, the President entered the
House all Of the galleries were
thronged, except the Presidents own
gallery and the diplomatic gallery.
Mrs Wilson, with a. party of friends,
was in the Presidents gallery, but
there were not more than half dozen
persons in the diplomatic gallery.

VAST HORDES OF
FOOD IN STORAGE
HELD IN AMERICA FOR HIGHER
PRICES HERE OR IN EUROPE
BY PRoFiTEERs.
Over Ten Billions Pounds of Food Nee.
essities Held In Storage BY Money
Grabbers Awaiting an Opportunity
to Mulct the Consumer.

New York.-GOvernmen figures show
that there Is now in storage, held for
higher prices here or shipment abroad,
1O,OOO,OOOOOO pounds (5,0OO,0OO,OOO
tons) of food. These figures, as
founding in themselves, are little less
than amazing when it is recalled that
during June exports amounted to
S11s,OOO,O0O. and July undoubtedly
crossed the $1,O0O,OOO,O00 mark for
the first time in the conntrys history.
1t is reasonable to assume that an
equal figure will be set for August.
How much of this inordnate guam
tity Of food-all ready for consump-
tion-is locked up in the 1913 private
and the 10 licensed cold storage ware
houses in and about New York will
never be determined unless the owners
are placed on the witness stand and
forced to divulge the facts. Quite nat
urally they are not telling their own
business or that of their customers at
a time when the government is making
extraordinary efforts to determine
why the cost Of living continues to
mount
In addition to these cold storage
warehouses in this vicinity hundreds
of loft buildings, barns, breweries and
other structures are being used for So
called "dry storage" Here goods
which do not need refrigeration can
be safely hidden away for indefinite
periOdS.
Although exact information as to the
contents of all these places is unob-
tainable, it is, nevertheless, known
that they are bullying from cellar to
garnet with goods which citizens Of the
United States will not see until the
cost of living has scared considerably
higher than the present Inflated wal
ues."
Federal officials are usually willing
to give newspaper men information,
but they invariably stipulate that they
shall not be quoted. One of them said
today:
"Of the immense quantities of food
Stuffs held In storage the greater per-
centage is at the moment in the hands
of profiteers, who are awaiting an op.
portunity to mulct either the citizens
of Europe or this country. 1t makes
no difference to them"

Murphy Accuses Wilson.

Paris.-Having been refused per-
mission to visit Ireland, J. A. Murphy,
Irish-American Commissioners, issued
statement in which he accused Pres
ident Wilson of having cOnnived with
the Government of Great Britain in
the suppression of an investigation of
British atrocities in Ireland. Murphy,
who will sail for New York in two Or
three days, charges that from present
indications it is almost foregone con-
clusion that thanks to the way Presi-
dent Wilson played into the hands OF
Lloyd George" the Peace Conference
will not consider the Irish question.

and a republic set up with Essad
Pasha as president. He, too, was
forced out, and the little country was
left prey to Austrian intrigue from
the north and the Vaccinations of the
pro-GermaL King Constantine of
Greece from the south. On Christmas
day, 1914, the Italian government, fear
Ing possible developments in Albania,
sent the 10th regiment of bersaglierl
to occupy the little fishing hamlet Of
Valona.
Saved Albania for Allies.
"By so doing" said General Scrlven,
"Italy saved at least the greater part
of southern Albania from the horrors
of Austrian and probably Bulgar 0ccu-
patton, and, in addition, became the
deciding factor in the great ultimate
success Of the Balkan campaign, which
now appears to have been the loose
stone in the arch that upheld the Ger
man power.
"By this peaceful occupation q mill
tary position was secured that later be-
came an important naval station for
the allies, as well as a strategic and
| tactical base of such Importance that
had 1t fallen into the hands of the
enemy, the great military romance of
the Balkans, If played at all, would
have occupied far more narrow
stage, and the whole Of western AL
bania would have been thrown open to
the Germans.
"With the entrance of the Italians
into the war, military activity In the
Balkans increased. Additional forces
were sent to Valona, from which as n
base Italian control was extended
over all southern Albania. The italian

Praise for Italian
Army i'm Albania

New York.-Brig. Gen. George P.
Scriven, formerly chief Of the signal
corps of the United States army, who
was for several months attached as
American military observer to the
Italian forces in the field, and who
recently returned from Rome, speaks
enthusiastically of what he saw in
Valona, or Avlona, as it Is sometimes
called, the chief port Of Albania, which
the secret treaty of London, in April,
1915, allotted to Italy. Valona he said,
is regarded by the Italians as one of
the keys to the Adratic, and their oc-
cupation since December, 1914, when
troops were landed because Of internal
disorder has transformed it from a
squalid fishing village to seaport that
is on it's way to attain an Importance
1t has not enjoyed since the days of
the Roman Empire. Docks have been
built, buildings have been erected, and
military roads, unsurpassed anywhere,
have been constructed from Valona
throughout Albania by Italian engi-
neers, he said.
The general described how the
Prince Of Wied, placed on the Albanian
throne by the powers. was overthrown,
