But If thoibell must go, not directly, but by a devious route, to San Frnn clsco, nnd If half a hundrrd Invited guests must go with It, by all means among that cohort let thero be num bered at least one expert metallurgist and a commltteo from historic socie ties, versed in the history of tho relic and inspired with proper venerntlon for it.

John Hunny's "Fortune" WHEN John Runny died It was said that for tho Inst year or two of his lffo ho hnd been getting a salnry bigger than thnt of tho President of the United States Tho President receives J75.000. It was also said that before his salary was raised to this largo amount ho was getting $50,000 a year. "When hls widow offered his will for probate sho stated in her petition that the estate, consisting entirely of por eyial property, amounted to only $8000. The most natural Inquiry is, what did he do with the money that ho earned? Thero will be skeptical persons ready to say that ho did not get tho enor mous salary which tho publicity agents of the "movies" declared was pnld to him. Some explanation of tho discrep ancy between the amount that ho Is re puted to havo earned In tho past five years and tho sum which ho saved la needed beforo tho public will be satis fied. Ho cannot havo lived nt tho rato of $50,000 a year Did ho glvo his money to his sons ait he earned It or did he hand It over to his wife and tell her te Invest It for him In her own namo? Or did not he get, It after all? Garibaldi, an Idea Incarnate GARIBALDI was an Idea Incarnated. He had neither wealth nor posi tion.

On May P. 18?0. flfty-rlve years ago yesterday, he set sail from Oenoa with a force of about 1000 patriots to free Sicily. He was victorious, crossed to the main land and finally took Naples with an army that grew as Jt marohed north ward This campaign made Victor Em manuel, the lder, King and laid the foundations of Italy as It exists today.

Thnt Idea trannformcd hlrrt from a more mllor nml nn ndventurous fighter Into n Brent national charac ter and an Inspiration tn lovers of free dom wherever his name Is Itnown. It Is an Idea that dominates all Italy In tho present crisis. Now to Put the Verdict Into Effect mllB chief object In holding the spe- J-clal transit election last Thursday was to mako posslblo tho beginning of construction this summer. UnlesK this Is accomplished, tho cost of the election was a waste of public funds. If work was not to begin until next year, an election next November would havo been perfectly satisfactory. Technical procedure requires time. It Is nlrcady so Into In tho year that the loan nnd appropriation ordinances must bo facilitated In every way if a delay nf n year Is In bo avoided. The Ismie has been before tho public for many months. Tho mnjotlty In tho election was overwhelming In favor of tho pro ject. Thero Is nothing, therefore, to catiso Councils to hcsltnte. It has a clear field ahead nnd nothing over which to stumble. Tho wholo city Is wntchlng Councils today, confidant thnt It will enter whole-heartedly Into support of the necessary measures nnd work them to final passnge with the utmost speed. Thero need bo no partisanship dis played, for all can work together In behalf of an undertaking of Biich ob vious merit. Delay now enn mean only ono thing, nnd thnt Is obstruction. It Is no timo to mako hnsto slowly. Taxing Women to Lessen the Deficit SCItunwOMKN, Janitors nnd watch men In tho poitofflco in this city and In every other city In tho country nro to be taxed to raise funds to reduce the deficit. The acting Secretary of tho Treasury has ordered that every such person In tho employ of tho Govern ment shall bo docked eight days' pay Homo time before tho end of tho fiscal year This economy will save nbout $100,000 and enable tho Administration tn cIobo the year with Just so much smaller bnlanco on tho wrong sldo of tho ledger. Of course, It Is necessary to econo mize, but It Ih difficult to conceive of n more unwise nnd Inhuman way of saving money. Tho humhlo employes In tho Government buildings' nover have nnv largo surplus on which to fall back when sickness overtakes them. And they probnbly hnve no surplus at nil to carry them over the eight days of enforced Idleness without pay with which they must begin tho summer. Tho outrage of the new order Is so grent that It Is not even good politics to economize In thlt? way. It ought to bo posslblo to save $100,000 without tax ing scrubwomen to pay for tho ex travagances of n Democratic Congress. Tho Tragedy of China THERE is tho tragedy of force In tho Chlno-Japnneso situation. The young giant of tho Enst hns Just begun to wake. Constructive statesmanship has been bringing tho country forward rap idly. Rich In history, In human nnd material assets, China has Just caught tho Inspiration of a great future, a fu ture of accomplishment and fast prog ress. Yet, with all Its riches. It Is un prepared, an ensy prey for any armed nntion. China, of course, has been considered for yenrs a field for exploitation. Her sovereignty hns again and again been violated. Concessions ot all sorta havo been wrung from her. This must bo taken Into nccount In considering tho attitude of Japan. Toklo can seo no Immorality In doing what other na tions havo done whenever tho oppor tunity presented Itself. She has China nt her mercy, why not take advantage of it? So forth goes the ultlmntum. It is a shortsighted policy on Japan's part. If there Is to be an East ern Monroe Doctrine, there must bo be hind It a force grenter than Nippon's. It would be a wiser policy to strengthen China; to aid her to assumo a proper placo among tho nations of tho earth; to cultivate her friendship; to make her a co-guarantor of tho territorial Integrity of tho East. A Monroo Doc trine In that part of the world will never bo maintained by Japan alone. Thnt Is obvious and beyond dispute. As to tho courso to bo followed by tho United States, it appears that wo muBt again nesumo tho role of n pro tester. That has been our fnto for moro than two years. Wo havo been pro testing In Mexico, protesting In Eu rope and now wo must protest In Asia. Ilut our moral Influence does not seem to get results. We are listened to and politely Ignored. Yet even so, the greatest of republics must stand by tho youngest and most populous of all re publics and exert In Its behalf the full weight of Its moral Influence. Gabriel o d'Annunzlo apparently thinks that his trumpet call Is as po tent as .that of the archangel of tho same name. The German submarine gave the Gultilght no warping, but the United States gave one to Germany three months before. It was a great day for Baltimore when it dedicated the new hospital "Diamond Jim" Brady has given to Johns Hopkins, and re-elected Mayor Preston. Sentimental pleas for sympathy did not work In the case of the man who confessed that he had robbed his em ployers, but would not have done It If his employers had not led him to drink. He has been sentenced to imprisonment for seven years and six months, as he deserved. If any one thought that Judge Hughes did not have a following he must have changed his mind when he saw the eagerness with which candi dates for the presidential nomination are seeking to win over the friends of the man who is trying- to take himself out ot tfte pHuftUoB, ., EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. MAY ITALY WILL FIGHT ONLY FOR ITALY Her Spirit Is Neither Pro-Ger-mnn nor Pro-Ally Against Russian Tyranny and Franco British Imperialism. By ARTHUR LIVINGSTON TO THE surprise of everybody, tho entrance of Turkey Into the. war did not raiiso much alarm In Unly. Tho complacent attitude of tho Italian Gov ernment In thnt crisis is now fairly In telligible. Italy rightly estimated tho strength of England on tho Suez Canal, nnd Turkey's new cntnnglcmcnts simply relieved tho ntrnln on the Italian troops In Tripoli, who havo never padded tho Interior lands still Infested by nomadic raiders Tho recent attacks on tho Dardanelles havo meanwhile Increased Italy's strategic value. Just ns Aus tria's disturbance of Balkan equilib rium clearly defined Italy's require ment and brought the attainment of It within her grasp, so the Imminent col lapso of Turkey hns clarified her rolo In tho prospective readjustment of tho Near East. Italy Is now In a position to sell her BUpport to the Allies In ex change for concessions In Asia Minor and tho Aegean. From England par ticularly sho can exact nothing for her weight ngnlnst posslblo Russian pre tensions. . Very frankly Itnllans nro talking of Smyrna nnd tho Aegean Isles an the centre of a future Itnllan "spbero of Influence" In the Oriental Mediterranean. It Is perfectly apparent that If In her minimum demands Italy Is hostile to Austria and Germany, In her larger ambitions sho Is equally hostile to the Allies both Individually and as a group. Her continued neutrality hitherto has sprung ns much from theso facto as from Internal conditions. It Is obvious, and has been obvious from the outsat, that tho defeat ot Germany and Aus tria Is necessary to tho realization of any pnrt of tho Italian program. A victorious Austria would yield her nothing. The Allies. If defeated, could glvo her nothing After five cpnturles Italy Is at last heeding the volco of her own Mnchlnvelll A weak France, a weak England, n tottering Austria, nn Isolated Gormnny, Italy's two mil lion men, with perfected nnd untouched equipment, supported by a strong and united national consciousness for this situation tho Italian Government has been waiting, is still waiting. For this sho will contlnuo to wait until tho Allies havo granted her tho majority of her demands and until she is In a posi tion to deal Austria a decisive blow. On what conditions nt homo hns this cool-headed policy of tho Government rested? The nntl-Austrlnn fury that swept over Italy from tlio Alps to Henovonto in August was counter-balanced by tho hostility of tho South to tho North, nnd by the vociferous if platitudinous moralizing of clericals and aristocrats lukewarmly pro-German. The Triplo Alllanco wiw for Italy never moro than an official atti tude, an attitude, Indeed, fortified by lather Important commercial ex changes, involving somo Italian money In Germany and much German money In Italy. If thut alllanco was ro newed in 101.1, thnt renewal was only a "scrap of paper." Austria virtually terminated tho Triplo Alllanco with Itnly as a sano Itnllan policy by tho annexation of Herzegovina; sho de stroyed every shred of popular favor In Italy toward that alllnnco by her attitude on Albania during the Turco Itallnn war. It Is, moreover, only 50 yenrs ago that In every city of Lom bnrdy and Vonetla tho Austrian hang man and the Austrian hendsman were murdering tho fathers and the grand fathers of tho presont generation of North Itnllans. In August, too, the Austrlnn firing squads wero silencing at Trieste nnd Znra, nt Flumo and Ragusa, tho louder voices of rejuve nated Irredentists. South vs. North But this cry of execration and von geanco that roso from upper Italy found only a passive echo In the south. There tho present Italian Government repre sents to tho popular Imagination only tho greed of northern Industrialism acting upon tho agriculturists of tho south ns the perpetuator nnd tho con secrator of Bourbon feudalism. If tho north looked toward Trent and Trieste, tho south looked toward Algiers and Morocco. If Milan remembered Sol ferino nnd Marino, the southern Gnrl bnldlans recalled Mentano nnd Aspro mont. Thero havo been agrarian riots nnd labor riots, nntl-Austrlan riots nnd nntl-Freneh riots. The result Is that tho nntl-Austrlan spirit and the anti-French spirit, tho pro-German spirit and tho pro-Allies spirit. have blended Into a pro-Italian spirit. Italy to day looks upon the war with a sense of nationalism stronger than at any time In her history. She has pro claimed officially that this conflagra tion was begun by an Austro-German aggression, an nggresslon which ex cuses her from any obligation under the Triple Alliance. She has served notice on Austria that the sins of Na poleon Bonaparte must now bo erased from the map of Northern Italy. But she sees In tho motives of Imperial Britain and Imperial France nothing that deserves the spilling of Italian blood, much that merits Italian sus picion and requires Italian watchful ness. So that when sho enters the war, it will indeed be against German mill tarlsm and Austrian rapacity; but also against Russian tyranny and Franco British imperialism. Her citizens mean while have ample opportunity for aca demic emotions and academic Idealism. But Italy is going to tight In this war for Italy, THE UNIQUENESS OP HUGHES From the.

By PIERRE LOTI I'tlluitratlon for the Honton Evonlnfr Tranecrlpt and the Philadelphia Kvcnlng Ledger. Trnnslntlon from RUINS under a gloomy light, a light which seems desirous of vanishing before Its time vast ruins and yet so dollcato! A vista of graceful colon nndes and arches, charming In their mystery, bringing bnck memories of tho medieval tlmo with ItB Gothic art, it flower which faded so soon. And tho remains of that art aro usually to bo seen In tho shnpo of somo old church or nnclent cloister, mere Isolated frag ments thrust Into tho world ot today. But hero there Is a group, first a cathe dral from which thero stretches a mazo of outer buildings, and then a sort of palnco In whoso long, turretod facades arched windows stand In rows. It is almost tho only group In tho world, a veritable section of tho past a mazo of colonnades and arches, a bit of archaic lace fashioned from stono. The sky Is low and sombre, as dolo ful as It seems In dreams But tho truo night has yet to come. It is only tho heavy clouds of a northern winter that cast a sort of yellowish darkness over all the land. Tho squares around these tnll ruins nro filled with soldiers, who stnnd still or who movo slowly nbout In silent lit tle groups a trifle solemnly, ns though awaiting something of which every ono knows, but nbout which no ono speaks. Thero nro also poorly dressed women with haggard faces and llttlo children; but tho lowly civil population Is com pletely swallowed up In tho mns3 of rough uniforms, almost all soiled and earthy, having evidently witnessed many a long battle. The graceful khalil-yollow uniform of tho English nnd the slender black regimentals of tho Belgians mingle with tho sky-blue military cloaks of our French soldiers, who make up tho majority. All this taken together results In an almost neutral shade, and two or three red cloaks of Arab chieftains form a sharp and unexpected contrast to this uni versal monotony of a gloomy winter evening. Sinister Magnificence Ruins, yes, but on close examination very puzzling ruins, for the debris seems Ilko that of yesterday and the crevasses and breaks are much too white beside the gray of the walls and towers, and hero and there In tho in terior of tho church, through the broken glass of the windows, one sees bits of glittering gold. In truth time Is not the destroyer. Tlmo spared these marvels, and up to our day man even In the midst of the worst revolutions and tho most bloody conquests never did them harm. Reluctant Light The light always passed rapidly over the lonely ruins of Ypres, but it comes today almost with reluctance, and thla dull March evening seems to be as bright as high noon. At this time the distance seems perhaps a little more blurred and melancholy, and this sign alpne tells us of approaching night. And now the night is almost here, the true night which will put an end to every trace of life. The crowd of sol diers retires gradually into the streets, already dark, but which surely will not be lighted. Far away a bugle Is calling them to their evening mla In the houses or the barracks -where! they sleep Insecurely, sureBome tirre, of be ing awakened by a. shell or by the "Marmltes" to the din of combat. Poor, gallant children of France, rolled up in their blue cloaks, never knowing the hour when death will be hurled at them blindly from a distance across tho gloomy space. For over the bom bardment there presides a most de lightful mt of fantasy. New ft I o. DON'T PROFIT BY THAT ceaseless rnln of fire, now only a single shell which comes by blind chance bringing death In Its wako. And tho ruins surround themselves with silence as thoy await tho end of tho great drama. After tho Nightmnro of Winter Now tho silhouettes of tho cathedral nnd the great belfry aro all that nro pictured ngnlnst tho sky, llko tho gc3 turo of a shattered nrm now turned Into stono. As tho night gradually closes in on you under tho weight of Its clouds you recall with increasing vividness tho mournful surroundings In tho midst of which Ypres is now lost, tho vast, tcnnntless plain, now almost black, tho mutilated roads, over which nono would know how to flee, tho fields flooded with wnter or blanketed with snow, the linos of trenches where, alas! our soldiers are cold and suffering. And qulto near, about tho dlstancn of a cannon shot, stand those other grim mer nnd moro sordid ditches whero tho Ineradicable savages lurk, always ready to charge In compact masses with the war cry of tho wild Indian, or to steal forth treacherously that they may hurl burning liquid at our soldiers. But how long the twilight lingers theso last few days! Without knowing tho tlmo you feel It Is late, and this, do splto everything, Is a, vague hnrblnger of spring. You feel thnt the nightmare of winter has run its course, that tho sun will shlno oncn more, tho sun of deliverance, that sweet breezes will como Just as they did beforo to bring back tho flowers nnd tho song of birds to thoso vast wastes, to tho thou sands of fresh-dug graves. And thero Is nnothcr sign of spring. Upon the square which is now deserted three or four little girls who'cannot bo much over 6 run wildly about, having es caped from tho cava whero they sleep. They Join hands to dnnco a ring danco to nn old Flemish folk-song, as they would on an evening In May. Then a llttlo grown-up, about 10 years old. bids them bo silent, and whilst thoy grumblo loudly, chases them townrd tho cellars, where they go to sleep after having said a prayer to their gentle mother. What unspeakable sadness there Is In this childish ring which formed thero In the dusk of a cold March evening, In a square commanded by tho ghost of a belfry, In a martyred town.
