ITALY AND THE EASTERN ADRrArrc.

u VERY Italian resident in Deaware-and there are
II many OF them-is hopeful that as one result Of the
impending conference Italy win realize to the full
her rightful longing for territorial expansion on the
eastern shore OF the Adrlatc
No one In State who reads the war news can be
ignorant Of the fact that lalys demands the Eastern
Adratic have been subjected to much friendly and hos
tile criticism. She has been criticized often for de-
manding too much for demanding too little There
are those who accuse her Of abandoning cities with
Italian populations to the rule Of the Says and they
cite Ragusa example.
Ragusa is seaport in Damata. which, according to
the treaty Of London. the Italians are willing to concede
to the newly-formed. or rather still-tO-becompeted
coalition OF Jugo-Savs Those who oppose this oesson
claim that Ragusa Is ancient city Of Latin civilization
and culture which has had nothing common with the
Slays but centuries OF quarrels They quote from the
Encyclopedia Britannica the following to support their
contention: "The Stradone street (of Ragusa)
was marshy channel dividing the Latin Island Of Ragusa
from the Slayonc settlement OF Dubrovnik
Two stately converts stand the ends Of the city for
the Francscans were set TO guard the western gate or
Porta Pila against the hostile Slavs while the Domnlcans
kept the eastern gate. Porta Place"
From these excerpts the supporters Of the Latin ma
ture Of Ragusa feel Justified nferrng that Ragusa
was far from being Slavic cty on the contrary they
assert that Ragusa has been perssenty attacked by the
Savs residing in the surroundings and that the lnhab-
tants of Ragusa had TO take to halt the incur
sions OF the barbrans The fact that the Encyclopedia
also Of the city that ito refugees Of all nations
even to those who had been its bitter foes the city
afforded asylum given further proof of the pre-
vailing Latin sentiment Of the population
The cession Of Ragusa to the Slavs is called by the
ultranationaiss noble sacrifice by Italy in the inter-
ests Of world According them the Slavs have
no right TO the city which is italian in population and
sentiments. II they should get the city Il would not be
because they deserved it, but because Italy was more than
moderate in her demands and chose to sacrifice Latin
city to the Slavs rather than endanger world peace

w. ID. GREENE.

Our patriarch brother has gone to his
rest,
Adieu to our father and friend;
United at last TO the wife Of his youth,
Midst rapture that never shall end
BY precept and verse he exhorted us oft
To put our whole trust in the Lord.
With whom he has walked and talked
until called,
To receive his eternal reward.
BY his verses l have every reason to
hope,
That many faint hearts have been
cheered,
And many that were either lukewarm
or cold,
Have by them been nightly stirred.
And l think that when Jesus hands out
the rewards,
Unto those who are saved by His
grace,
When the roll Of the servants Of. God
shall be called,
j. T. c. will be found in his place.
