nnd Market streets, They breakfasted
together and chatted about affairs of the
day. Dominick asked If he could take a
little stroll out (o the corner and, look
nbout. Of course he could. He went out
and looked About a bit and returned. The
two literary deputies were ir the midst ot
their morning papers and plgars. Dom
inick rested a few minutes and then
asked if he might "take a Jaunt up Mar
ket street." "Sure," and the deputies ex
changed a glance of confidence. And
again Dominick came back, The "deps"
were, still smoking. Finally the prisoner
asked if he could take a look at City
Hall. He must have got lost between
15th and Market streets and the "Hall,"
for he hasn't returned yet. The scribes
dropped in to tell their literary friends In
the local newspaper offices about Jt.,
"Rut Dopilnlck -will come back," 'they
s'sid, "he's such a nice fellow." At pres
ent, Domlnlck's views on the matter can
not be obtained.

ITALIAN ARMY AND NAVY
READY TO STRIKE HARD
Soldiers Are Well Trained and Equipped and Form Efficient
Fighting Force Can Hurl 3,380,200 Men at Foe.
Strength of Navy Lies in Modernity.
Although ranking fifth among tho Tow
ers of continental Europe In numerical
military strength and seventh as a world
naval Power, Italy Is really stronger thnn
bare statistics Indicate. Its nrmy Is well
trained, its navy modern, while tho expe
rience received by the general staff,
commissary nnd other departments In tho
war ngalnst the Turks In Tripoli greatly
increased their elllclency.
Itnlys total war strength Is 3,380,:00,
made up of the regular army of 306,000
and well-trained reserves, in nddltlon,
there are nearly half a million men In
the country who have had no military
training, but who nre available for mili
tary duty lu emergencies. Italian cav
alry Is considered superior to any in
Europe, while special frontier troops of
haidy mountaineers bar tho nation's
mountain passes from Invaders. Its In
fantry and Held artillery, although nu
merically weaker than t'noso of Austria,
are better trained and under the com
mand of officers whose schooling Is equal
to those of Frnnce.
Military service In Italy Is compulsory
nnd begins at tho age of 21, Two years
In the regular standing army are rollowed
by six years In tho first or active re
Berves. Then follows four years in tho
mobile militia, while the. remainder of the
term, about seven years, is served in tho
territorial mllltla. In the latter only
about 30 days are spent with the colors.
Tho field army comprises 12 corps and
threo cavalry divisions. Ench division
consists of two brigades of two regiments
nnd Ave batteries of field artillery. Each
corps has two divisions of Infantry, a
regiment of Held artillery (36 guns), two
or three heavy batteries, a regiment of
cavnlry and one ot light Infantry. The
Alplnl or mountain troops are composed
of eight regiments and two regiments of
mountain batteries ot 33 guns each. In
nddltlon there aro seven companies of
aviators, with 30 aeroplanes nnd nine air
ships. The Infantry Is armed with Mannllcher
Carcano magazlno rifles, while the field
artillery has Just been rearmed with the
Deport gun of a calibre of 7.5 centimetres.
The strength of the Italian navy lies In
Kb modernity. Four euperdreadnoughts,
the C, Columbo, M. Collonna, F .Morosini
and Caracciolo, the equal of any ships
In the world, are being rapidly rushed to
completion. These Bhlps were laid down
early In 1914 and will be of 30,000 tons each,
while eight monster 15-Inch guns will com
pose their main batteries. They are of the
same class as the latest British super
dreadnoughts and will carry a crew of
13CO men. (!) addition to these Italy has
two " dreadnoughts recently launched,
the Calo DuillQ and the Andrea Dorla.
They have a displacement of 22,000 tons
and carry 13 12-Inch guns apiece In addi
tion to their secondary batteries. Their
contract speed call for 23 knots.
In commission are four dreadnoughts,
launched at various periods In the last
three years. They are the Conte dl

Vinci, of 22.000 tons, nnd tho Dante
Allghleri, of SO00 tons. Ten battlcBhlps
compose the Hist line fleet. Their heaviest
armament consists of 10 nnd 12-Inch guns,
but they form an efficient fighting force,
nnd outclass moat of tho ships in the
Austrian navy. They were completed dur
ing the period from 1D05 to 1901.
In the second line of Italy's naval force
aro seven battleships ot the second class,
flvo of which enrry 10-lnch guns on their
main batteries.
Among the older Italian aunored ships
which might bo used to bombard weaker
forts arc threo battleships ot the 1S90
typo. They are of comparatively heavy
displacement, 11,000 tons, nnd carry old
style 13-lnch rifles. They are, however,
obsolete In many respects and very slow.
Many modern destroyers nre being com
pleted at tho Italian shipyards, while 45
aro in commission. Seventy-five torpedo
boats and 20 submarlncB are also in com
mission, nnd more submarines are In
course of construction. Mine layers and
transports complete the fleet which some
experts bellevo should bo ranked ahead
of Hussla's and perhaps Japan's. At any
rate, it is a most effective fighting force
and one to be reckoned with.

ITALY'S BELLIGERENCY
FURTHER DELAYS REPLY
OF KAISER TO U.S. NOTE
New Factor in War Situa
tion May Have Amelio
rating Influence on Char
acter of German Re
sponse to Protest.
WASHINGTON, May 21.
Italy's entrance Into the war over
shadowed everything else In the Intel
national lino today.
It was accepted hero that tho latest
development greatly coompllcatcd tm
German situation, completely blocking,
as It did, one of tho last two remnlnlng
highways for the entrance of supplies
Into tho Teutonic Umpire.
It wns nlso expected further to delay
the Ocrman reply to tho Wilson noto.
EFFECT ON GERMAN HEPLY.
Tho consensus hero Is that Italy's war
declaration nnturally will have a noften
lng effect upon the German reply to tho
WllBon note, assuming that there might
havo been anything harsh In that reply.
It Is not believed that the German nntlon,
besot on all sides, will run the risk of
alienating tho United States at tnis
critical time.
That Germany may still havo to depend
largely upon submarine warfare Is con
sidered probable, but there Ib nn opti
mistic feeling that this wnrfare hereafter
will be conducted so ns not to endanger
tho lives of Americans nnd that proper
reparation evcntunlly will be made for
the loss of lives on tho Lusltanla, which
caufed the Wilson note of protest.
The United States was rrepared to ex
tend Us neutrality to Includo Italy, A
proclamation Btmltar In every respect to
those already Issued was on President
Wilson's desk awaiting his signature.
Tho Stato Department has authorized
Ambassador Pnge In Home to tnko over
Austrian diplomatic nnd consular busi
ness In Italy nnd Ambassador Pen field In
Vienna to tako charge of Italian Inter
ests In Austria during tho war.
EFFECT ON U. S. LADOP..
Ono ot tho things which most Interested
officials here was tho question whether
tho thousands ot Italians In this country
who aro liable to military service aro to
be summoned home nt once. It wns bo
lleved most of them would respond
readily, and It wan stated this would ef
fect the United States more from a labor
Rtnndpolnt than has any other develop
ment since the war began.
No other belligerent, said officials, has
recalled any great number of Its sub
jects to the colors. Tho Italians, how
ever, In the last few years, It was de
clared, have had a monopoly of construc
tion work, and If thoso in the country
return to fight a "famine" was predicted
in tho so-called "common labor" market.
This will be aggravated, It was added, if
the Balkan countries enter tho war nlso.
