la muerte primero y de la vida des
pues, del famoso Pejerrey de Loui-
! siana, que ACADIA de pasar a otra
vida vfctima del pistoletazo de un
] senior que apenas aver era TODD un
! desconocido. Dicen los d~espachos
de Baton Rouge que Ell senador
Long murio rezando; que sus nlti-
mas palabras fueron: ioh Dios, 81
tan solo fuera tn voluntad que no
me muriera.. Todayfa no acabo

Como Sc We, Ell ilustre asasinado

mismo de mi amigo Valenzuela, el
que Sc me murio hace dos amos, di
ciendo: iDios MIC, que va a ser de
mi mujer Y mis- hijos! En- realidad
de verdad, la mujer y los hijos es
tan ahora mejor que cuando Ell pa
Dire esposo viva. Cada tragedia
trae consigo su propio balsamo pa

Ello es que ell critic angustiado
del pr6cer de Louisiana me lleYa
a considerar la proposition de Sir

poner en- espanol mas o menos
asi: NADIA HAY GRANDE EN- LA

ROME, July 17.-Italy went on a
seml-war basis today. with nearly q
million of her men called to arms and
her silver partly nationalized.
The pace of departures for East
Africa of troops and war materials
was speeded up, while the 1talo-
Ethiopian Arbitration Commission
prepared to meet again.
italian circles expressed belief that
the commission, on which an Amer1-
can is one of Ethiopia's representa-
tiyes, would be unable to settle the
Italo- Ethiopian border dispute by
peaceful methods.
II Duce, addressing 1000 war vet
Grams Sunday from the Coliseum, as
serted:
These stones are eloquent of the
grandeur of Rome achieved through
the force of her arms and the wisdom
of her laws.
Nothing prevents us from believ-
ing that these destinies of yesterday
viii not be those of tomorrow"
Silver became to a great degree the
property of the government by a de-
cree issued late Saturday, calling in
ali silver money. Previously export
of the metal in any form had been
forbidden.
The African expeditionary force is
expected to number 225,0 900 men, but
M,lssoIini assured the nation and
served notice on the world that this
would not weaken Italy's front to
