NOES AND rKOTITi,ITES.

Italy is fast becoming a land of confusion, mob violence has been evi- dent in many cities for some time past and matters arc growing worse instead Of better. High prices and proftccrinS in the essentials of life seem 10 be the points upon which the trouble is based. There is no definite attempt to overthrow the government though there is dissatisfaction caused by q tendency to blame authorities for the high prices. The Govcrnmen is not in the hest position possible but the dcmonstra lions have been staged against the shop-kccpcrs rather than public officials. Tn fact we are told, that in some localities the police and tho mob arc working in harmony. 1talys riots should not be confused with Bolshevism
 The Shop-kcepcrs in Rome last Sat urd-'y announced that they would re- duce their prices. They were taking 10 heart tho lesson of other cities

In Flor encc the mayor acted as municipal shop-keeper after the populaCe had demanded lowering of prices The cost of food articles was reduced hy official action from fifty to seventy per cent. Elsewhere the outra sed peoples have raided stores and carried off all | edible goods, but have resorted to an l equitable method of dist ribution after tho food had hecn collected al a con- | tral point. Mob action and reason- able control arc, SinguIarly enough, both present.
 There is but one conclusion to | reach when tho troubles Of Italy arc l considered and that is that the shop 1 keeper has been q rrofiteer of the l most -sham meloss sort. The conduct of l those who have raided him proves if. It was well organized action and ha q ! thinking people in back of it, other wise there would have been shame less footing and no division of the | SpOllS. l ne cay or the pr0nteCr IS past in Italy, at least Rome proved 1 that when she voluntarily reduced prices * ;EaE ssag sss ll

ATTENTION TO THE LE.at,lE.


 With the return Of the George Washington to these shores, bearing the President Of the United States, who, need We notify you, has been in place called Paris over in France. the time for heated and spirited campaign of education on the League of Nations will he instituted. The Senate, vrithng in the intriCac cies of the covenant, has been vajnly seeking to grasp a point of argument against Woodrow Wilson. Democrat, and the Leag gue of Nations generally. It has followed many leads without a great deal of success. Popular acclaim to it's points has been lacking. It has hshed about in the pot of public scntimen for something with which to fight the league and has failed, so far. There is little doubt but that many Amcri cans resent the seeming desire on the part of their chief executive to take the whole matter upon his own ShOul- ders and pose as the man behind it all. Disturbed at the srcCess of that gen t1enan in these attempts and dis mayed at his addition to Dem mocrat1c prestige Republicans are fighting the league, to defeat it, thereby diSCredlt- ing hin. That is the real reason back of the crocodile tears. over China, shed in the Senate That is the reason for the bringing up of every question even to religion in an attempt to de- feat the Lea que.
 President Wilson returns tomorrow. He has been working upon his mes sage to Congress- which, needless to say, concerns little but the question of the league. He has prepared 10 Ike a speaking tour in favor of the league. Tn all probabilities he will fire the first gun in his campaign when he speaks at the reception which will be ten dered him in Carnegie Hall upon his arrival. We are to be told what he thinks of the League of Nations.
 We regret that the President has not the fighting force of speech which characterized such mcr as Theodore Roosevelt His words would fall upon more anxious ears should they be tireed With the virile fire of that man. But Wilson's speech will Dc scholarly, 1t will be Gorceful in a more polished manner He is well able to place a fair argument before an attentive world His words arc awaited.
 Politics or no politics, personality unheeded, it is time for the nation to consider the league in every light. For the next month there will be little but opportunity to do so with CampaiSn- CTS of every political faith and every degree of authority upon the stump. The question is not shall we az grandize Woodrow Wilson. shall we help to further the Dem ocratic party?" It is "Is the League of Nations the best solution of a difficulty that con fronts the United States and the world at large?" The answer may be easily decided very soon.

 'Kindly receive this paper.
 Some town Archangel is. You pay three rubles for coffee and seven ru- bes for pound Of bread. Horse meat is six ruhles a pound
 Hay is 100 rubles for 20 pounds Before the war it was three rublcs wagon load. One ruble is worth eight cents of American money, before it was worth 52 cents. Awful hot it is here too in summer.

NO LEAVES IN TOWN

The camp on the whole is complete
within itself, so that men are rarely
permitted to come into Brest, to add
to the already perceptible unrest here.
Meetings have been taking place re-

which have caused some discomfort,
but the authorities are putting forth
every effort to keep the port free from
the disorder that is often found in a
port town.
The American soldiers from the Pom
tanezen camp spend their leaves in
other areas. Last week special train
took 400 American soldiers on leave
to Nice as special reward for their
rapid work in reconstructing disin-
lection plant which was burned down.
A plan was devised whereby the plant
could be erected in 10 days, but Gen.
eral Butler told the force of soldiers
that he would give them a 10 days
leave in Nice, II they could do the work
in half the time. In exactly five days
the new plant was working and the 400
soldiers were on their way to Nice.

of the troops, and entertainments OF
one sort or another are given every
night.
The newest feature of the camp Is
the salvage station and repair pant
with a capacity for equipping transient
troops at the rate of 900 men per hour.
About lao French women are given
employment here in repairing SHOES
alone. An average of $500 pairs OF
shoes are repaired daily.
The roads are being improved every
where about Brest. The labor en-
ployed for this work Is MADE up
largely of German prisoners Of war,
so the complaint about soldiers re-
pairing the roads of France for small
pay is without ground. The roads that
have been worn by American traffic
are being repaired under American
superyision.
