Ss 'r I. Literary Digest's Plucky Stand Against Strike

1.-TWO weeks ago the Liter ary
 0 Digest was forced to get out q small edition because of strike troubles with the contracting printers.
 Last week the issue came out as usual. but the coming issue, October I1s, will be unique. It will be pub ilished without typesetters "who are lon an alleged vacation or irregular 'strike."
 The Digest has devised a means of making typesetters superflous. Plates will be made by photo en- graving typewriter copy, -"pasted up lin page form"
 The publishers announce that they Twill issue nearly million copies of an eighty-page magazine on their regular schedule"
 There is nothing like pluck and re- .sourcefulness. Everybody will be on the lookout for this popular periodi- cal, printed, so to speak, without printers.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-10-14

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 A nANY kinds of rumor, some alto lIWIl gether weird, others more than AVA half convincing, have come out of Italy in connection. with DAnnunzio s war against the world. One of these rumors is to the effect that D'Annunzio is the agent of the Duke of Aosta, who would like 10 be king.
 The duke is the kings cousin, and he is very popular man in Italy. He mas an ambitious wife. If King Victor could be pried> off the-throne by pop ular uprising .Aosta might be able to supplant the young heir and make him self king.
 The rumor mongers say, that DAn- nunzio is partisan of Aosta, and they also whisper that whenever D'Annun- zio seems strongly enough estaQnsheo in popular esteem Aosta will boldly an- nounce himself as D'Annunzio's sup porter. Then D'Annunzio will proclaim Aosta king of Italy in place of the SOW ereign who declined to sully Italy fame hy repudiating Italy's contracts with Ter allies.
 The story is too circumstantiaL Prob ably there is little or nothing in it. The only part that is important is the pre- sentation of the Duke of Aaosta as q possible leader of an Italian revolution. Most observers have predicted that the revolution, if it does come, will come from below. It may even come from the profoundest depths and cast down the whole fAaric of Italian Society. Few observers outside of Italy have contem- plated the possibility of dynastic revolution, a struggle between facVons of the uppermost strata of Italian life. D'Annunzio. always eager for ap- plause. unouestionably appreciates the

The glimpse is afforded by the governments ac- ton in detaining at Ellis Island ht tie group of singers, recently arrived here for the season. on the ground that they are contract laborers.
 Eaviola, one of the grour, and a member of the Chicago Opera cou- pany has been singing 15 years, has 1s0 operas in his repertoire, and crossed the ocean to fill contract that provides a salary of SIS week during rehearsal and sS5 week in season.
 On exactly the same terms came Tro- lese, a second basso of the Chicago company. with 200 operas at his com maud. and 30 years experience in grand opera. This is his tenth annual en- gager1cnt with the Chicago Opera company,
