Professor Barrett is ar 0rientalist and has made study oi many languages, Born at Cape airer- deau. educated at Johns Hopkins and Washington Lee universities. he spent the early years of his life in travel and study Of languages abroad, Re- gently Professor Barrett compiled a critical edition Of the kashmirian Atrarsa Neda, in seven parts. which appeared before the public. rrofes- sor Barrett spoke on the life of the People Of Italy" He said in part:
 Italy is a kingdom in southern Europe. consisting. in the main. of a large peninsula, having n singular re. semblanee to n boot in shape. stretch Ing southwards into the Mediterran- can. but also including the mainland and the islands Of Sicily. It is bound- cd on the north and tho northwest by the Alps, which separate 1t from Austria, Switzerland and France. and on the northeast by Austria. Else where 1t is washed by the Mediter- ranean or the Adriatie an arm Of the latter.
 'rhe area is about 10000 square miles. For administrative purposes 1t is divided into 6s provinces, which are grouped under 16 departments Compartment territoralD, some of them consisting of only n single prov ince.
 From 1861, when the Kingdom of Italy was constituted, until 1865, Turin was the capital. Florence was then selected. and in 1871 Rome. The largest city is Naples, next in order Milan. Rome, Turin, Palermo. Genoa, Florence and Venice.
 South Has African Climate
 Tn the south of Italy the climate that of Africa, being dry md burning and being subject to the ,irocco. In the northern regions the of the Alps, and the abundance of water courses serve to pleasant temperature.

 'sFhe aneienl history of Italy began with Rome, The modern history be- gins with sTs A. n, when 0doaeer. chief Of the Herulians, 2 German tribe invaded the country and was proclaimed king of Italy. After reign of twelve years he and his fol- lowers were eyeTpawered by the 0s- traealhs under Theodarie the Great.
 scharlemagne made war nnan De- sidefians, king of the I.omhards. took his prisoner in his capital. paya. in 77i. and united his empire with the Frankish monarchy, Italy. with the exception Of Benepente and the re. republics of Lower Italy. thus hes came a constituent nart Of the Frank ish monarchy. and the imperial crown of the west was bestowed on Char lemange in 500. And so with many wars. Italy came up through the ages signing peace treaty in 1912 with or course Italy played big part in the late World war.
 'The Italian language Is one on the Romance tongues. or tongues derived from the Latin. and is therefore a sister Of French. Spanish and Portn. gnese. Ii Is derived not from the literary language of Rome as we know 1t. but from the old popular dialect or Lingua Romanana rnstica. German races contributed words to Is vocabulary also.
 About the close Of the 18th cen- Iury native poets arose. who initiated ] he Provencais as to the form of their composition but wrote in their own language. Among the most impor. mt Of these early poets in the Flor sntine was Guido cavalcantl. who much to the development! ,f the Italian language and poetical Ityle.
 But the great lnminary Of the per- od. and by far the greatest poetic .enius which Italy has produced. was Dante. In Italian prose the oldest ,oox is d'Ristoro's Compositions del dondo, written about the middle of he 18th century. In this department Dante also takes a high place with is Vita Nuovan and Convito.
 About the middle of the 18th cen- nry complete revolution took place n Italian literature. which was pre- eded and accompanied by a general levation of public life. The infiu- nee of German and English liter ture began to communicate a more ealthy tone to the national litera- ure.

The press welcomes the pro- posal heartily and although not an- ticipating that it will be approved by the senate at the present session or that it implies Americas entrance to the league of nations, the editorial writers interpret it as an important sign that American aloofness in Euro pean affairs is being abandoned.

Many ShOpmen Get
Increase in Wages
(BY Federated Pressl

Chicago = Ten thousand mainte-
nance of way employees on the Nor
thern Pacific road will receive wage
increases amounting to $3,000,000
year, as a result of an agreement
between the union and the road. The
application of the union, recently filed
with the railroad labor board, will be
withdrawn because of this new scale,
which raises foremen $40 a month,
carpenters 3A cents and watchmen
2 cents an hour. Common labor will
receive 80 cents-an hour.
Maintenance of way employees on
the Wabash road, numbering $500,
have been granted raises of from l
to 9 cents, making the hourly wage
81 to al cents. A wage increase,
which will cost the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific $4,000 year, has
been received by the coach cleaners
and mechanics helpers of that road.
An advance of A cents an hour has
been won by 100 signalmen on the
Philadelphia and Reading.
Twelve thousand shopmen on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul have
applied to the railroad labor board
for increases amounting to $80O,00O
wear. Their demand ranges from
81a to Is cents an hour raise. Nego-
tiations are also being carried on by
the shopmen of the Chicago &
Northwestern, and the Southern Rall-
wav. and are about to begin, it is
said, on the Southern Pacific.

For a long time the Progressive

generally that the days of the board
are numbered. There are administra-

who insist the president will support

West Va. Gunner
(By Federated Press)

Los Angeles =. California motion
picture circles are gossiping about a
film in which William S. Hart is ex-
pected to star, woven around the as
sassination of Sid Hatfield, the fight
ing pro-miner chief of police in Mat
tewan, w. Va. The struggle between
the West Virginia union miners and
the operators with their gunmen is to
form the background of the story.
The feud between the Mccoy and
Hatfield families of Mingo and Nc
Dowell counties will also be featured.
Hatfield was shot down in 1921 on the
courthouse steps as he was walking
unarmed to answer summons. His
assassins, company gunmen, were
tried and acquitted in the operator
controlled court. Bill Hart is re-
ported to have declared the scenario,
sketched by Sid's brother Willis, as
the best he ever heard Of. An Eng
lish film concern is after the movie
rights.

Chinese Immigrants
Flooding the Country

New York-Hundreds of European
immigrats are literally kicked away
from this gateway to America every
month because the quota from their
particular country happens to be full
but. Chinese coolies to the estimated
number of 5000 have had no trouble
in getting in despite the Chinese ex-
clusion act. That number recently
has scattered through the states of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts, and many of them have
e placed white workers at various
kinds of unskilled labor.
One instance is that sof the Goer-
niger Construction Co. of Wilkes
barre. Pa, which is employing 55
Chinese coolies on $1,000,000 series
of sewerage contracts for the city.
They got the coolies by advertising
for laborers, and a New York labor
agency furnished the Chinese. They
are paid As cents an hour-higher
pay than is given coolies usually
ten hours a day and seven days a
week The company keeps them Sc
gregated on farm mile from the
city, where they are taken after each
days work.
Many are working in factories in
and about New York-only a few,
however, in any one factory. The en-
ployers and the labor agents who
furnish them are careful not to put
too many on any one job so that sus-
piciOn may not be aroused
In some cases, whole crews of for
efgn incoming ships, manned by
Chinese, have deserted on arrival in
port here. The lynx eyes of the gov
ernment agents who frequently have
torn families apart and sent part of
them back to Europe because of the
immigration law, aren't sharp enough
to see scores of Chinese coming ashore
together. The immigration commits
sioner, r. E. Tod, says he hasn't
enough men to keep the Chinese out.
They are too busy excluding white
persons.

many months it has been trying to
sell a months free vacation and all
expenses at Camp Custer, zone of the
favored spots in the military estab-

It's military drummers have sought

It's civilian aides like the Chicago

It's corporation allies like Samuel In

employees four weeks vacation with

departments free gift of training and
all expenses at Camp Custer.
The Chicago youngsters won't bite.

This is far less than 10 per cent Of the

Little effort is being made to inter-

Coop. Plan Defeats
Anti-UniOn Move
(By Federated Pressl

San Jose, Cal. - In their fight
against organized building crafts
men, anti-unonists attempted to STOP
union contractors from securing
building material. This move proveo
a boomerang, for the Santa Clare
county building trades council took
up the challenge and entered the
building material business.
The workers started with a few
dollars. That was Is months ago
Since then their business has amount
ed to more than 10000, and the
anti-unionists are chattering with
fright at the further possibilities OF
this movement.
In a statement issued by the build
ing trades council, it is stated that
IS per cent of all the work in Sar
Jose is union, and of the few anti
union contracts not one Of them pays
union rates.
"They told US we couldn't get g
sack of cement, but we are bringing
it in by the shipload," the unionlsts
saw. 'They told us we couldn't get
a bag of hardwall, but we are bring,
ing it in by the carload. They tolo
US we cOuluH get UlISho3 an"
we used to have to buy them by the
thousand, now we have contracted fol
them by the million.
"The material business of the
building trades council is growing
growing every day. Just how large
this business will ultimately grow we
have no idea, but this we do know
that it was the organization of oul
money into this business that made IL
possible for the Santa Clara county
building trades council to maintain
the right to organize and bargain
collectively
"We tell this story so that working
men everywhere may be of good cheer
and learn that the malpractice OF the
material combine, when once under
stood, can be overwhelmed. ;.

been told to go there before in the
