ITALY'S HARD CHOICE
It is not*surprising that reports
from various sources indicate
that Italy will seek to remain
neutral between the powers of the
Triple Entente and her own allies
lu the Triple Alliance. It seems,
at first glance, remarkable that
any power should hesitate to act
with those nations to which it has
long been bound by a eolemu cove
nant but the position of the Italian
government is extremely difficult.
Though Germany and Austria
llongary are Italy's allies, Great
Britain and France have been her
especial friends. FShe has no quar
rel with Russia. The Queen of
Italy is a daughter of the King of
Montenegro and the Montenegrins
and the Serbs are cousins, heart
ai.d soul in the same cause.
Italians kuow that their country
is not directly involved in the
quarrtl which began between Aus
tria-Hungary nd S?rvia and drew
<n other po<v?is. fnev do not
feel that either of t'icir allies has
beta forced to resist aggression
It 13 highly o/obabl# that a revo
lution would overthrow any gov
ernment which might ask them to
enduro the famine conditions of
war in behalf of nations so little
in n"ed, at 'he outset, of Italy's
help.
In the face of these conditions
national honor and its obligations
may lead the Italian government
to stand by its allies, but it is
now hesitating and striving to find
some way out of the difficulties in
which it is involved and the
reason is plain to be seen. The
situation is extremely trying and
the choice hard to make.
Railroads concede that wrecks
are some of the public's busi
ness, but war offices have not yet
reached that conclusion as to
battles. i
But then, the $169,000,000
boost in Americau graiu prices
caused by the war scare over night
is purely psychological, too.
When the peace conversations
peter out it will still be possiut
to fall tMCk on pour parlers and
protocols.
Jake Secrlst is one resident of,
Skagway who has solved the high
cast of living for the Lex: two.
months, anyhow.
Thanks to Senor Huerta's leis
urely progress across the Atlantic,
readers are occasionally reminded
that Mexico still ex:«is.
There would be a certain satis
faction in discarding the Queens-'
berry code and running prize fights
by house of representative rules.
The retirement from the activ
ities of life for two months of
Jake Secrist will doubtless causc a
sigh of relief from the Skagway
housewives who are trying to raise
enough chickens for home consump
tion nexe winter.
Tlio French trial system seems
to put the witness stand at the
dispoal of anybody who can think
up an unkind cut.
In Indiana an automobile party
raced an interurban car to a cross
ing and succeeded in making it a
dead heat.
lu speaking of the effect of the
European war on business condition*
in this country the Cordova Alas
kan o£ recent date says; "There are
various opinions expressed in Cor
dova and throughout the United
States," etc.
Just so.
It's a pleasant thought that
those five hur.dred million dollars
' hi- the treasury at Washington are
primarily for home consumption.
~
If the passenger boats are to
stop running, possibly Europe can
i arrange te import American beer
in tank steamers.
Somehow nobody scorns to have
thought of submitting the issue be
I tweea Austria an^ Servia to the
, French courts of justice.
I Lieuten .r.t Forte, R. N\, might
find it sard to pursuade the ad
miralty that a transatlantic flight
was his quickest way home.
In such martial times those im
pending French duels ought to be
fought with pistols instead of
rapiers rtterly useless in modern
war.
If that California islander whose
vote is to be polled at an expense
of $100 had a wife, the per capita
expense would be cut in half.
As a contribution to the suffra
gists" melting pot. Senator- Poni
erene might turn over the samples
from his Xorth Carolina gold mine.
If Sandusky does not care to
invite Colonel Goethals to be its
city manager, it might ask Senor
Huerta.
Mme. Caillaux, the well known
acquitted murderess, says she is
the happiest woman in France.
That seem to finish tho old saw
about the effect of beiug good.
If it isn't the drouth, it's the
wet weather. If it weie not war
that is raising the prices of flour,
shoes and things, it would be
peace.
If you have a Vest Pocket Kodak
with you when you go IlsMng, you
are doubly sure of success. You
can get some lasting evidence of
the trip, and the cost of the* camera
and photos will I-a a trifling ex
pense when compared with the
pleasure. Get in Eastman at
Keller's.
