Of comrades.

mother Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. All
was solemn silence in this barren
plain. where but a few short months
ago ragged the roar of cearn-beIching
cannon.
With Mrs Roosevelt were a few
friends and military officials.
The mother, who had partly agreed
with her husband that her son would
be buried where he fell on France s
soil. and who had come many miles
across the sea, bent under a fresh
grief. battled courageously against
her emotion. Tenderly. as if in n

sleeps his last sleep underneath, she
placed some flowers on the grave,
then stood for several minutes, ap-
parently visualizing the tragic but
glorious end Of the young aviator.

tons expected is the announcement OF
the successor TO the late Cardinal Far

Paul, Albany and Buffalo.
For this reason the golden Jubilee
is regarded as being the most i'm
portant event in the Catholic Church

Rome. Feb. 19.-F'ixing OF a salts

tween Italy and Austria is a prob
lem comparatively easy of solution.
since In the Rhaetian Alps Italy's
natural frontier is only broken by
a small German population number
ing about 100000, living on south
ern slopes OF these mountains.
Whatever may be future relations
between Italy and her Teutonic
neighbor, it is unlikely that these
half-deserted high Alpine valleys,
which belong geographically to Italy,
were Italian for centuries and will
return spontaneously to their allie
glance when they cease to form part
of a German state. will ever prove
the cause of future wars and dis
cussions.
Eastern Problem Serious.
The problem of Italy's Eastern
frontier and of her future relations
with the Jugo-Slav world is a far
more complicated one. The Eastern
Alps, as We all know, form a kind
Of angle, one branch extending south
wards as far as the Gulf of Guar

shores of the Adriatic close to Cape

Between the latter branch of the
Alpine Range and the sea lies a re-
gion known to history and geography
for 1000 years as Istria- This re-
gion was included in Italy by Au-

seats and a large number of members
of the House occupied seats in the

Declaring that the proposed league
involved surrender by the United
States of the right to defend herself
or to attack an enemy country, Sen
ator Poindexter said that the plan
was full of complications. that IT
would force the United States into
entangling alliances with the powers
of Europe and would wipe out the
Monroe Doctrine. He added:
'It is fertile seed OF war; it is a

Five principal grounds of objection
to the league-of-nations plan were an
nounced by Senator Poindexter, as
follows:
Surrender by the several nations TO

to determine the size of the army and
navy.
Compulsory arbitration OF all ques-
