Italy Gains New Hope.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
ROME. November 13-"From to-
day commences Il new era for Italy"
With this sentiment the Italian
public this morning received the news
from Washington of the debt accord.
Although the size of the payment
when published will certainly shock
many who had convinced themselves
that Italy could pay virtually moth
ing. all will be forgotten by politicians
and financiers in the sigh of relief
that Italy's international position is
finally stabilized.
Italy's eyes are fixed on 800, ,000,-
600 loan which, it is confidently ex-
pected, will follow the settlement.
With this new capital available,
Italy young industries will flourish
and her 100000 population will be
put anew to productive labor. With
he prosperity that is expected to fol-
low Italy will easily be able to pay
America the huge sums demanded.
This is the expectation aroused by
The settlement. From today the World
War is liquidated for Italy and the
nation can shake off the past and
work more for the future.

A summary OF the Chinese military
situation was received here yesterday
from Minister MacMurray in Peking.
The attitude of Gen. Feng Yu-HSiang,
the Christian general, he said, rs not
yet entirely clear" but the plan of
Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian war
lord and chief supporter Of the pro
visional government, apparently Is
ito hold the attack from the south
along the line, Techow or Machang to
Paotig Flu, while enveloping Peking
from Jehol east and south in a threat
against Feng."
A consular report from Tsinan said
that formal notification had been
given there of an armiStice between
the Manchurian and Chekiang forces
pending peace negotiations. but that
'war-like measures continue in Shan
tung.''
Finance Minister Out.
MIR. MacMurray reported that he
had been reliably informed of the
resignation of the finance minister
Of the provisional government, an
Anfu politician. Minister Yeh OF the
COMMUNICATIONS ministry was in
Mukden, and had repeatedly deferred
his return to Pelling, but insisted that
a peaceful settlement stu was possible.
The State Departments paraphrase
of the Amba ssador's dispatch said:
THE Manchuria! troops have re-
tired before the advance Of the
Chekiang troops to the Shantung-
Kiangsu border, with further retire
ment possible. Manchurian troops at
Pacting are cutting the Peking- Han
kow Railway and thus communica-

Next in line for public mention we
have our neighbor and friend, Frank
II. Skeels, who several years ago ar
rived in Custer County to take the
position Of managing engineer at the
old Ramshorn minee at Bayhorse.
Mr.. Skeels is the man who put this
old mine on a paying basis, yielding
thousands Of dollars to its owners an

down now we predict it will be but
temporary for the price of silver and
lead is too high for capitalists who
have the Ramshorn opportunity to
overlook. For the past six or seven
years the road from the Ramshorn to
the shipping point at Mackay has
been lined with large trucks hauling
in equipment and supplies and hun
dreds upon hundreds Of rich concen-
trates out. Mr.. Skeels has caused the
uncovering Of body after body of rich
ore in this old mine and certainly
comes in for his share of the credit
for the development of "Idaho's
Mineral Empire"
Next in line we have ]. G. Walker
of the Livingston Mines Corporation.
During the past three years Mr..
Walker has re-habilitated one Of the
Oldest mining properties in this sec
ton Of the State. He has supervis-
ed the erection Of a large mill, tram
way, electric light and power plant
and other items necessary to success
