ABSENCE OF VODKA CURBS PROFANITY PETROGRAD. April 27 A Russian merchant who has just returned from a drive of about 350 miles through the Interior, says the prohibition of vodka has caused a curious change in the speach of the Moujlks (peasants).

"Did you discuss New York politics." "I do not remember. No I am sure we did not discuss state affairs." 'Did you seek Sen Piatt's advice." "You misuse that word Advice, said the Col.

R. with a grin, his voice ascending to the familiar falsetto. Roosevelt to Piatt. Chicago. Oct. 7, 1900: We have had great fun on this trip, though the work has been very wearing. I think I can say that the trip has been a successful one so far. I met Hanna today and had a very nice talk with him. Good Lord how 1 nope we can geat r"ettigrew tor tne sanate, that particular swine seems to me on the whole the most obnoxious of the entire drove. DIPLOMATS TO MEET ROME, April 27.

Italy and the European War Virtual Impossibility that She Can Remain Neutral to the End of the Mighty Conflict.

BY JAMES D. WHELPLEY. Author of "The Trade of the World," Etc. It is no longer an academic question for Italy as to her place in the final outcome of the great war for, with the acquisition of Tripoli, the status of affairs in Mediterranean and Black sea waters became of vital concern to that country. The rejection by Austria of the demands of Italy for the territory at the head of the Adriatic was inevitable and even had Austria yielded it is more than likely Italy would have still remained unsatisfied. Her statesmen now have wider ambitions for, with the rearrangement of Balkan and near eastern1 political lines which is to come, Italian interests would be in jeopardy should she remain neutral to the end. There would be nothing heroic in the participation of Italy in' the war any more than there was in the position of Roumania in the Balkan wars. Italy stands to gain in any case excet that through neutrality her territory might be increased to the north her southern interests would not be to well taken care of by the Allies as If she came into their councils.

GOAL STRIKE ENDS

CLEVELAND, April 27. Peace in Ohio coal fields, idle- for more than a year, due to a strike, loomed up as almost a certainty as the operators and miners' constituting the joint : scale committee began their deliberations In tbe Hollenden hotel today. Both sides expressed confidence that they would be able to reach an agreement. ' ARGUES TO SUSTAIN MUfiCIE INDICTMENTS MUNCIE, Ind. April 27. Arguments to show why the three indictments against Mayor Rolla Bunch and other-city officials should be sustained today were made by- Special Prosecutor W. A. Thompson and his assistant, Wilbur Ryman, before Judge Ellis, in circuit court. The court's decision is; expected in a few days The indictments charge conspiracy to solicit and extort -bribes from resort keepers, blind tigers and gamblers. The defense contends that there is no statute which permits the court to appoint a special prosecutor when the county council refuses to vote funds for such officer. A motion was filed to rescind the order of the court appointing such prosecutor. 1 PRISONERS PLAY CRICKET GAMES MANCHESTER, Eng., April 27. One of the greatest attractions in the prison camp at Ruhloben, near Berlin, says an Englishman who has been allowed to return, is a series of cricket games between the British on one side and the negro captives on the other. The negroes invariably win, he narrates, and then march back - to their barracks four abreast singing "Tipperary," and very highly pleased with themselves. - DELAY PEACE PLAN IN CHICAGO STRIKE CHICAGO, Aprif 27. P?ace negotiations In the strike of 16,000 Chicago carpenters were postponed until Thursday. The ten arbitrators selected from the Carpenters' union and the Contractors' association, have been unable to come to any agreement on the wage demand of the men. The carpenters demand 70 cents an hour, an increase of five cents over the present scale. JOE BENZ IS NOW READY FOR BATTLE Joe Benz. Joe Benz's rapid return to shape has been the most remarkable feature of the White Sax training trip. Today he is further advanced than the White Sox officials had expected by July 1. He is almost- ready to pitch a complete game without extending his strength. When he went to California a few weeks ago it was s a physical wreck. . Italy has an effective army of at least one" million men. It could ' be raised to two million under pressure. Her navy is strong and well up to modern standards. It is not believed that any large Italian force will be sent north through France, nor will much of a demonstration be made against Austria owing to the difficult character of the country along the Italian frontier. The guarding of her northern boundary, the sending of an expedition across the Adriatic to cooperate with Serbia and considerable activity on the part of her navy would probably be the general plan of her operations. It has been stated that Switzerland will permit the passage of troops should Italy desire to move directly to the north. This is interesting and highly important if true but further confirmation of this must come before it will be believed. Ends Triple' Alliance. Should Italy enter this war it means the end of the Triple Alliance, it means tbe complete political and military Isolation of Germany and Austria. It will also demonstrate the extreme improbability of a close and

GERMANS SURPRISED BY CANADIAN TROOPS LONDON, April 27. Correspondents on the Flanders front say that the Germans themselves declare that had it pot been for the Canadian troops the allies, would be in retreat along the entire Flanders front. . "The, Canadians upset all the German calculations," one correspondent says. "The kaiser's troops expected their coup to result In the quick fall of Ypres and the capture of all the important points along the canal. Their expectations would have been fulfilled if the Canadians had not smashed, into their advancing line, throwing eleven entire regiments into confusion. .Telegraphing from Dunkirk, another correspondent says:. "The Belgians against proved their heroism on the canal, enrolling their names with those of the brave Canadians. They repeatedly attacked the Germans, retiring only when overwhelmed by force of numbers.". JERSEY RAILROAD ACCEPTS REBATES TRENTON. N. J., "April 27 The federal grand jury today returned an indictment against the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company for violations of' the Elks interstate commerce act in that it has been receiving and accepting rebates on coal shipped from Nrsquehonlng and from Pauto from the Central Railroad of New Jersey.

ITALY TO STAY OUT OF EUROPEAN WAR ROME. April 27. Italy will not partiXnnta in the war. Bv remaining neutral she will win a greater victory than would he possiDie snouia sne enter either one of the hostile camps." This statement was made today by a high official of the Italian government. A complete change in the situation has developed during the last twenty-four hours. A full statement of the international situation as it involves Italy will be made to parliament when it convenes on May 12. SMITH RESIGNS INDIANAPOLIS, April , 27.

COOKVILLE, Tenn., April 27 Howard Regland, a prosperous farmer, is dead and Deputy Sheriff Walter Stout fatally wounded, as the result of a deadly pistol dual between the two men at Ivy Gap, fifteen miles northwest of here. ELKHART REMAINS WET. ELKHART, Ind., April 27 Elkhart will remain in the wet list of Indiana cities for two more years at least, as the result of Monday's local option election. Out of 5,088 votes cast, the majority favoring the licensed saloon was 108. This was a decrease of majority from two years ago of 197. successful political friendship between a Teutonic and a Latin race. There are a few, very few men now in Italy's public affairs who loom large, for the average Italian now concerned with the affairs of his country is more of a politician than a statesman. The economic position of the country is not particularly strong, social unrest is marked and it was but a year or so ago that the nation was on the verge of revolution. Wars are often the refuge of politicians from political dangers and the proposed outlet for national activities may prove a safetyvalve and result in a new solidarity, that no other force could bring about. To ally themselves with the great forces of the Allies, now apparently on the road to complete control of the immediate destinies of Europe, is an alluring vision for an ambitions and emotional Italian statesman in power for what it may bring to his country and incidentally to himself . and his friends open a wide field of pleasant anticipation. Whatever service is compulsory in Italy and those who have serve dand are discharged remain reservists. '
