illegitimate methods" The third
chapter declares that all persons be-

EXPLOSION IS
tContfnue1 from i.age one,

tConunue1 from i'age One.I
pointed out by President Wilson that
the possession of Fiume and too great
a portion of the Dalmatian coast and
islands can only lay the basis for a
future war with the new Jugo-Slav
state that would almost inevita bly,
plunge all Europe into a new catas-
trophe. This opposition by the So
cialists to the so-called imperialistic
policy explains the recent popular
demonstrations in Italy against the
Socialists and the sacking of their
leading paper, Avanti.
Real Danger of Hun Pact.
While 1tely's financial, economical.
coal and food situation is 50 serious
that Italy could not possibly break
with the allies without looking imme5
diately for succor in some other quar-
ter, nevertheless her threat to do so
and to return to her former German
alliance must not be taken too lightly.
1t should be remembered by every
one that Italy is p Mediterranean
country and the only two outlets and
inlets to the Mediterranean, namely,
the Straits of Gibraltar and the Suez
canal, are controlled by England. Eng
land or any other group of powers
with whom England is associated, by
closing those two inlets to the Medi-
terranean and consequently to Italian
ports, could starve Italy to death in a
very short space of time
For this reason there has ever been
in Italy a large school OF diplomats,
of statesmen and of thinking popula =
ton that is convinced that Italy's only
guarantee OF life can be secured thru
an alliance with some northern coun-
try like Germany that can insure her
an outlet to the northern seas.
The great bulk of Italians who be-
fore the war and since have ranked
as pro-German." have been influ-
enced only by this one consideration
which they regard as vital to Italy's
future safety.
Because of this fact and because af
the large number of supporters in
Italy of this thesis, a return to the
German alliance by Italy must not be
considered as purely a bluff.
New Political Fences Built.
On the other hand, it is also certain
that leading Italian statesmen like
b ssolati, -Nitti and others who re-
signed several months ago from Or
lando's cabinet because of his So
called imperialistic policy have been
steadily at work building up their own
political fences
1t is entirely possible, therefore
that should Orlando and Sonnino still
stand out for their full demands and
fail to secure them that the Orlando
government might be overthrown and
a new one headed by Nitti or some
one else, come into power on a plat
form to take more conciliating atti-
tude. The most serious danger. how
ever, would appear to lie in the pres
ent frame of mind of the Italian pop
ulation, which has been aroused to a
degree of intensity if not almost of
frenzy in the demand for Fiume that
is without parallel in Italy's national
life. Should this demand be refused
it is not to be expected that this Ital-
ian population of 37.00O,000 human
beings, stung to the quick in their
most sacred sentiments of racial and
national pride. will quietly subside
without an explosion that may entail
almost any possibility. -5,...s.s1-

SEVERE TEST SHOWS
HOW TO SAVE SHOES

"A molder in our foundry wore a
pair of shoes with Neolin Soles every
day for ten months and two weeks
both in the foundry, and to and from
his work-and they are just worn out"
The Sessions Foundry Company of
Bristol, Connecticut. makes this report
on a pair of Ne6lin-soled molders'
shoes given them for test.
Neolin Soles have none of the short
comiNgs of other soles. They do not
burn or crack under conditions such
as these-nor do they wear out quickly
under the grind of abrasive materials.
They are made by Science to be es-
pecially tough and durable, will stand
the toughest kind of usage and so
wear longer and save money. More
over. they are comfortable and water
proof.
You can get them on new shoes in
many styles for men, women and chill
dren-or as re-soles. They are manu-
featured by The Goodyear Tire &.
Rubber Co., Akron. Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to
outwear all other heels.
