Italian Socialism.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
The noticeable feature of italian sor
cialisln at the present time is its ten
dency toward division. On the one hand
there are the moderates, under the
leadership of SUI men as Mr.. Turatt.
and Mr.. Trees, who, during the recent
labor troubles in Lombardy, urged set
tlement by Cancellation and negotiation.
and on the other, the bolshevist group,
which condemns the recent settlement of
the metal workers strike, and is prac-
tically in favor of looking to Moscow
for its instructions. Tremendous eff
forts are being made by Mr.. Serrati, I'M
til recently editor of the ".Avanti," and
others to stem the tide, but so far, ap-
parently, with little success. For the.
moment the bolshevist wing is in the
ascendant. By a narrow majority Of
seven to five, in the directorate Of Il,

the acceptance of Nicholas Lenin's re-

Too Many Prophets.
From the New York Post.

AIAiii liz 4NC" L o9ts
There is an excess of minor prophets
n literature, journalism and politics.
When our hopes are buoyed up by the
EIave promises Of politicians, our emo
tions stirred by the forecasts of popu-
lar C~assandras, and our ardor kindled
by the spells of social soothsayers-only
to meet the inevitable disappointment
surely we are entitled to compensation.
There is an excess of propheteering, and
the community, as usual, pays. Proph-

most is the production of IDEAS, not for

SAYS GERMAN REFUSED
TO BUY N. Y. PAPER

New York, Dec. 4 Omitted Press).-
The German government definitely
refused to finance the purchase of the
New York Evening Mail in 1915 by
Dr. Edward Rilmeley, according to
a deposition in court here Friday.
Rumely's attorneys thereby presented
the first direct evidence in his behalf
to refute charges he had violated the
trading with the enemy act.
The deposition was obtained from
Professor Won Schultz Graevernitz,
OF Freiburg University, an intimate
friend with Rumely, with whom he
became acquainted when he studied
IN Germany. The professor stated
Fumely had told him he had an OPP
ton on a New York paper, asking
him to see certain wealthy Ameri-
cans in Germany to finance the deal.
He mentioned Herman Sielken, Mrs.
Adolpllus Busch, George Ehrt, sr.
lie also asked him to see the German
foreign office. He was told at the
foreign office, he said, that Germany
would not aid in the purchase.

Silly But DANGEROUS.

"War between the United States and
Japan is almost certain within a few
years unless the United States deals
firmly with the situation as il exists lin
the orient and builds and maintains q
navy in the Pacific surpassed by none"
Thus Congressman Dyer, Of st. Louis,
one Of the tourists on the recent con-
gressional junket to the far east, ak
Mr.. Dyer follows with a long list Of
the dangers he conceives exist. Japan
can AXE the Philippines any time, he
saws. True enough, and it has been true
for % years. Japan would never come
over here to fight, but her vessels would
dart out and sink ours as fast as they
got over. peculiar reasoning for a man
who wants us to build more vesselsD
And so on through the typical stock
in trade of the Japanese war alarmist.
All this shows not merely the
us-elessness, but the danger of
sending men, wholly unfamiliar with
international matters and the east
ern nations on such an excursion as these
congressman INDUCED themselves in as
guests of the American taxpayer. Con-
gresham Dyer thinks these are new
things that one discovers from a first
hand investigation. But he does not
contribute to them an item that a reas-
onably intelligent person could not have
learned at home from the study of an
atlas.
This man comes back posing as an
expert. He has been there. He peddles
a line Of alarmist dope" thai was ''old
stuff" in America years before the war
In Europe began. He is ready to rouse
hostility and ill-feeling--the begetter of
all wars. And he becomes, even though
i%gnorantly, a real source of the dangers
he predicts. If we needed real informa-
ZION about conditions iE the far east,
We should never think of sending such
as Dyer after it. But In our easy going
way we permit him and a lot OF other
congressman to vote themselves a holi-
day trip in the orient-which Is a small
matter-and then to come back as ex-
perts, specially fit to pass on great ma
tonal policies.

HER PET DOG PROBABLY

Mayo, IL years Of age, today owes
her safety.
Mary was sen to the store for a
bottle of milk early-about 6 o'clock
when tho streets were brightly
lighted, and many people were re-
turning from work.
Little Mary, carrying her milk, had
started home, when she was accosted
by a strange mar who snatched the
milk from her, drank it and threat
ened her life if she made an cutlery.
The girl was led to a barn, she
brokenly told her parents, where she
was forcibly detained. And then the
dog, just dog came into the story.
He haerd the child's cries, ran to the
barn, and began barking, frightening
the assailant away.
