Jail in America
Preferable 10
Freedom, Italy

CLEVELAND, Ohio. April IAN
italian fugitive from Justice, Louis
Gallo, has decided that imprison-
ment in America is preferable to
freedom in Italy. The Italian pleaded
guilty to charges of conspiracy and
operating still.
Gallo jumped a $4,000 bond and
fled to Italy when he was arrested
in 1897.
Gallo came back to the United
States and told Federal Judge Jones
that he pleaded guilty.
Il guess I didn't appreciate Am
erica until got TO Italy, They really
don't have any freedom there. 1t is
just like being in a Jail all the time, "
Gallo said.

OLD 20-YEAR CYCLE RUNS
TRUE AS NAILS Get THE
UNITED STATES RILED UP
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April Every
20 years the United States gets riled
at Germany.
1t has been going on for about
80 years Now We are at another
peak of anger, The cause is approx
mately the same as before. Ger
mans, when on the march, often
seem to us overbearing. And situ-
ated as we are, separated from Ger
many by France, England and the
Atlantic Ocean, we are not obliged
to pacify them After a time tenn
pers cool and good relations are re-
stored.
If you can look at the thing in
the philosophic light of 80 years it
may help to keep your dander
down. Based on previous experience,
we probably will be on speaking
terms" with Germany in half
dozen years, perhaps less; that is,
if we don't get mixed up in a war
meantime.
We had our first tiff with the
German Empire over the Samoan
Islands. The Samoan Islands are
the Bahamas of the South Seas.
Germans got there first but in 1889
our exploring sailor, Captain Wilkes,
put in at capacious Page Page Har-
Dor, explored it, negotiated with the
natives-and established U. S. re-
lations there.
Things ambled along for about
30 years with the Germans not
caring much whether we took the
islands or left them alone. Then
the German Empire pulled together
after the Franco-Prussian war of
1870 and began reaching out tenta-
lively for colonies and naval bases.
