ITALY WON WAR DESPITE ODDS
Outnumbered, She Brought ON de.
bacle by Magnificent Work.

Washington.-The Italian troops
were we'll on their way into Trentlno
when the armistice halted the allied
armies on their many battle fronts
The dreams OF a century Of the Italian
people-the redemption OF their lost
domains lin the nOrth-waS being
realized BY the force or arms when
the German-Austrian collapse made
it sure that the Trentino, like Alsace-
Lorraine, would be returned by the
peace terms to the mother race.
The Austrian government" in It's
latest official census admitted that the
Trentino was italian by 100000 out Oh
its 100000 population. The whole
district had retained the Latin cul-
ture i'm spite Of the efforts to German
ize it in language and customs. At
tempts at rebellion had been put
down ruthlessly by the Austrian mas
tiers. Seeds of dissension sowed by
the Austrians had caused estrange-
ment between the Italian Irredent-
lists and the Jugo-Slavs, whose inter-
ests since have proven to be parallel.
The Italians had fought not only
against superior Austrian forces, but
against the physical difficulties pre-
scented in the mountainous districts
of the frontier. In three years OF
fighting under the most difficult con-
ditions the Italians took from their
hereditary enemies prisoners num-
bering 4,489 officers and 169,896 en-
listed men. Italian engineers built
$500 kilometers OF road and swung
800 kilometers Of cable from cliff to
cliff for the transportation OF troops
and munitions.
Italy has called to arms little fewer
than 100000 misn, of which she has
lost 100000. In recent fighting on
the Austrian front Italy had at her
disposal only 81 divisions to oppose
the 10 divisions OF the enemy. ia ad-
dition Italy sent forces into France,
Albania, Macedonia and Palestine,
which, it is said, were greater than
the French, British and American
forces sent to aid Italy.
Italy did all this at time when she
was not well prepared for war in her
industries and natural resources.
She especially lacked cOaK

S6-1S ROMANCE ON ROCKS
OctOgenarian Seeks To Annul We'd
ding With Young Manfcurist.

Although James Harvey Hart, a
retired Brooklyn jeweler, was sc
years old last May when he came
back from a honeymoon in Atlantic
City with his bride Of IS, who before
the wedding was Miss Katie Wolf, q
manicure girl i'm Brooklyn barber
shop, and mighty pretty manicure
girl at that, Mr.. Hart neither looked
his age nor felt it, he said. He was
robust-looking patriarch and is
credited with having remarked to
one of the relatives of his BRIDE.
"We've had a lovely time on our
honeymoon, and I'm so. happy that
don't understand how I've got along
for 50 many years without wife. i
was lonely widower, but now I'm
living again.
1t looked at the time as though
this was a Decemher-May union that
was going to prove the happy excep-
ton to the rule about such alliances,
for the little bride was beaming, too,
and clung to the arm Of her white
haired husband.
But the romance is all off. Not
only have they separated lit de-
veloped that Mr.. Hart after a few
months left his young wife,, but now
the venerable bridegroom has brought
a suit in the Supreme Court in Brook
lyn to have the marriage annulled
The aged husband, through his at
torney, contends in the legal docu-
ments now on file that the marriage
should be declared null and void be
cause Of his advanced age at the time
Of the ceremony. He insists that he
was too old for marriage and that he
was merely companion to his young
wife.
From the legal standpoint as we'll
as from it's human side the case will
be interesting too, because it is the
first Instance on record in Brooklyn
lawyers say, where contesting
party in an anulment suit seeks free
dom while blaming himself for the
alleged failure of the marriage.
1t is not contended by young Mrs.
Hart nor her attorney that she wants
the marriage to be pronounced legal
and binding because she wishes to 60
back to her ancient spouse She does
not wish any such thing. What she
wants to do il to protect her dover
rights in Mr. Harris estate. He is
worth about 100000.

Did you ever stop to consider what
the sculptor has done for the world
Enduring marble and eternal bronze
have preserved the most remote
antiquity, and appeal to the 1oftiest
human sentiments. We can still see
the ancient Sphinx but we cannot
conceive of the countless generations
that have looked on it. Legend tells
us that it offered shelter to the
Christ Child during the flight into
Egypt, yet the time between then
and now is scarcely more in the life
of the Sphinx than is a year in the
| life OF man. Nations rise and fall
creeds and races perish, but this work
Of the ancient Egyptian sculptor re
mains and will remain to a future
even more remote than it's past
What sculptor can think of these
things without being inspired tc

represented iii the Peabody Institute
at Baltimore by 90 many noble eI-
amples. Though all Americans are
proud Of William Henry RinehaFt
Marylanders have a right to a special
pride in the man and his work. He
was Carroll County boy, born In
1926. He went to school in We3t-
minister and helped his father on his
farm. Now, it happened that on this
farm was marble quarry and a
stone cutting yard In which this boy
took a most natural interest He
used to try to carve reliefs in the
sides of the quarry, and I am told
that his first crude efforts gave no
promise at all of the great genius
that he possessed.
When sixteen his father allowed
him to 90 to Baltimore where he
spent his nights at the Maryland
Institute, and his days a. an appren-
tice in marble yard. From crude
beginnings that would discourage
many, he gradually improved till
one day his work was brought to the
attention of the late William T..
Walters, whose perception of genius
was so keen that he at once took a
deep interest in the boy, and from
then on, his career steadily pro-
crossed to the great achievements
that gave him his place I'm history.
! Reinhart died In Rome in 1874.
In his will he entrusted to William
T. Walters $4,000 for the encourage
ment of sculpture in Maryland. Due
to wise and careful investment this
sum had increased to about 500, 900
when in 1895 the Rinehart School
was founded.
Besides the support of this School,
which is a part or the Maryland
Institute, this fund supports two
scholarships of $1,000 a year each,
one for Paris and one for Rome, per-
hitting the winners to thus remain
three or four years abroad with
sufficient money and freedom to de-
vote all their time to the study OF

scholarships have so far been award

truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-

germ. III your child has cold when

take him out OF school and keep him
Off the street until fully recovered, a.
there ID a hundred times more danger
Of his taking diptheria when he has

Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger Of diph-
iberia or any other germ disease be-

Churches to Participate i'm Great

A great campaign is being planned
in the Methodist Protestant church to
raise a million dollars for missions,
education and charitable purposes.
MAY IL to q are the dates set for The

tricts, of which, the churches located
in Carroll county are known as dis
.trict number 8.
Simultaneous meetings are being
held i'm all the districts this week, that
of this county taking place in the
Methodist Protestant church, this city,

Four Flying Squadrons of four men
each have been organized for this work
and the territory has been toured in
automobiles.

of the service has been prepared Tor
each Sunday from now to May IL and
is being used in all the churches of

Rev. Edgar T. Read, pastor of the
church in Westminster has charge Of
this district, and DR.. T. H. Lewis is
the leader of the Squadron that will
present the matter to the several con-
gregations Of this part Of the con-
ference.
The churches Of Carroll will surely
measure up to their responsibility in
this matter as they have in all others.
