ITALY FREE TO ENTER
WAR, SAYS NEWSPAPER
Rome, via Paris, Wednesday.—
Commenting favorably upon the
adjournment of the Chamber of
Deputies the Giornale d'ltalia says
every Deputy is now convinced of
the necessity for Italy to act ener
getically, "facing any sacrifice, ev
en a supreme struggle, to realize
Italian aspirations." The news
paper adds:
" With the full liberty of action
granted by Parliament the govern
ment now r is free to choose the
way, the means and the hour of
using the weapons at its disposal
with the firmness and prudence
necessary to insure success, while
the country, calm and disciplined,
i? ready for everything."
The Italian government is said
to have refused a request made by
Germany that a mission sent to
Erythrea be permitted to continue
its journey through that district
into Abyssinia. Italy's refusal is
reported to have been based upon
the belief that the object of the
mission was to incite an attack by
Abyssinians upon the British forc
es in the Sudas.
Erythrea is an Italian protecto
rate in East Africa bordering on
the Red Sea opposite Turkish ter
ritory in Arabia.

U. S. SUBMARINE
TOMB OF 25 MEN
IN OCEAN DEDPTHL
Honolulu, March 25—The Am
mean submarine F-4 tonight lie:
at the bottom of the sea two mile
from this shore, the tomb of Lieut
\ltred L. Ede, her commander
and 25 enlisted men of the United
States navy. The F-4 was fount
as the result of a frantic 12-hou
search by other undersea boats
instituted at noon today, when
the submarine failed to rise to the.
surface from morning target prac
tice with the rest of the underwa
ter flotilla, stationed here.
It was close to midnight when
a submarine searcher located the
long dark body of the F-4, ino
tionless at the bottom of the sea
Not the faintest sign of life wa c
• be seen aboard her and such su
perficial examination as the finder
could make led to the belief that
the doomed submarine's tanks had
burst, suffocating every man of
the crew with sulphuric acid
fumes.

ALL THE NEWS FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE.
HAVE YOU SUBSCRIBED?
YOUNG ELOPERS ARE
NOW SEEKING DIVORCE
When John Thomas Morgan, a
wealthy young law student in
Denver university, eloped with
Miss Jean Johnson of this place,
last June, "just for the novelty of
it, " he did not think he would be
facing a divorce suit with alimony
in less than a year. Miss Johnson,
who is aged 20 and pretty, left In
diana early last year to visit her
father, J. 11. Johnson, a broker in
Denver. Morgan met her in June
and eloped with her to Golden
Pol., where they were married or
June 25. after an acquaintance of
•
two weeks. They lived together
for several months, and, according
to the bridegroom's father, his son
"stopped his wild ways, led an ex
emplary life and was a good hus
band." The young bride evident
ly thought otherwise, for she filed
a suit in divorce 10 days ago, al
leging "extreme cruelty." Morgan
says lie will not contest the suit;
that he eloped "just for the nov
elty of it," and that he has had
enough. He has arranged for the
payment of alimony outside of the
court.
Jean Johnson formerly resided
in Blairsville. Her parents were
divorced several years ago, her fa
ther locating in Denver. Her mo
ther was remarried to Earl Ray
mond. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond and
Miss Johnson came to this place
some years ago. Miss Johnson has
much talent as an amateur actress.
She won local fame at a business
#
men's carnival given by the New
Century Club of Indiana in Feb
ruary, 1911, with her "Stingy
Kid" and "Honey Time" songs,
rendered when she was attired as
a boy.
