Dl5posIIIoN OF
 ITALY'5 COLONIES
 CAUJE5 BIG BREAK
By The Associated Press

The Western Powers and Rus
 sia disagreed utter.y on the future of Italy's colonies. The problem
 thus went to tne United Nations,
 as provided i,i the Italian peace treaty.
 The U. s. was reported to have changed its mind, for military security reasons, on giving back the colonies to Italy Needing the Brit ish viewpoint, the U. s. was said to have decided it would be too risky ito turn back the strategic African
 possessions for three reasons:
 Italy is unable to defend them; should the Communists win Italy, the colonies would be Russian out posts; and no matter who runs Italy, Moscow undoubtedly would order Communists to stir trouble in the colonies. The U. s. has an air base in Libia which soon can handle BPS superfortress tombers.

Some "a Years Ago A President ~s'@
Made A Short Talk At Gettysburg

ended the war after the battle of
Gettysburg by following Lee.
Then there had been his visit to
Antietam field. An ugly story that
he had behaved with levity on that
awful ground had been circulated.
1t was false, of course, but it was
widely believed. Perhaps if he went
to Gettysburg. r@~.4
Then there was the party split in
Pennsylvania. The newspapers had
intimated broadly that he had come
to this battle-ground, filed with fresh
skeletons, in order to patch up a par
| tisan feud. That was not true, either,
but it had been said.
There was his speech. 1t hadn't
been much of a speech, but he had
taken pains with it, tried to make it
what presidents speech ought to be.
He had written part of it at the
White House, finished the rest of it
last night at Mr.. Wills house in Get
tysburg. He had even gone next
door, late at night, to read draft of
it to Seward.
He had been rewriting it this
morning when John G. Nicolay, one
of his secretaries, interrupted him
He was glad, anyway, that it had
been fine day. He wished that Ev-
erett had not held up the ceremonies
a half hour by his hardness. He wish.
ed they had given him bigger horse
to ride in the little parade to the
cemetry. He was pretty nearly al
in.
Well, it was over now. The trair
was pulling into Washington. It wa:
midnight when he reached the White
House.
The next day they brought him :
little note from Everett. He though
then it was just a compliment. HI
could not know that it would be rec
ognized as truth many years late
by his own people and by strangD
lands. 1t read:
~ should be glad if | could fiat
ter myself that came as near t.
the central idea of the occasion il
two hours as you did in two min
utes."
Abraham Lincoln sighed little an,
sat down to copy out in his scrawlinl
hand the speech he had made at Get
tysburg, November 10, 1868, as lit
tie present for that great orator, Ed
ward Everett.

Those sweet missives of Valen-
tines day which will be exchanged
Saturday have long history, dating
back to the period of the Roman
empire, albeit they have departed
considerably from the original con-
ception of the day.
No reason for the sentimental
practices associated with the day can
be found in the life of the saint who
is made to endorse the custom with
his name. st. Valentine wrote no
love songs nor even cast wistful
eyes on the Roman maidens.
He was a bishop in Rome who
stood steadfast during the Claudian
prosecutions and lost his own life
for his faith. Later many of the
holy fathers engaged in special cere-
monies in which they balloted for
names of saints in an attempt to
have a heavenly partner by which
they could pattern their earthly
lives.
st. Valentine having been one o1
the most devout saints was chosen
by a large number of the holy faith
ers as their patron saint, and conse
quently the celebration was named
after him. February IA was select
ed as the date for celebration be
cause of the desire to substitute thi'
holier rite for a more pagan cere
| mony which existed that day.
The clergy, however, failed il
their attempt to make the ceremonie'
popular among the youth of the day
The young people were not satisfied
and instituted a secular version o
the religious practice.
In various times the churche
stepped in in an attempt to sanctif.
the rites of st. Valentines Day. Al
ways after a temporary relapse tn
custom would spring up again witt
a new vigor. The custom finally be
came firmly established on the con
tinent.
In the days of quill pens and higI
postage rates the transmission o
valentines was an expensive luxury
