ItltoiT.w VP RON STRINGS EX
l> tXGEHED.
The sudden outburst of the extreme;
German Jingoistic press against Italy |
on tho Titrko-Itailan question Is but I
another evidence that Italy Is en- i
forcing recognition that she is a first- |
elnss rc-wer in fact as well as In |
name, r.nd that It would be no longer j
safe, especially for Germany and Au?
stria-Hungary, to treat her as the
little sister of the powerful. One of
these ultra-organs, under the caption
"Tho Italian Peril," raises the cry of
"Italian |ierfldy"; charges that Italy
has "violated the International rights
of ttie peoples of Europe"! has be?
trayed those who have been faithful,
to her In seizing Tripoli, nnd Indulges;
in much more crimination of the same
sort, llow- Italy betrayed her allies'
by her Tripolitnn venture l< difficult 1
for one even of the hibsi iiBxy coin
prehension of the niovemenl In Itself,
or ovehtsiprecedihg and connected <vlth j
it. to see
The charge Is not only llloglc-tl, I
hut utterly senseless, and comes with,
particularly bid grace from Germany,
it is seMf-stultlfylng to the latter, con?
sidering that It Is well known that
Germany coveted Cyrencra; that she
bail been planning to grab it When
tii" propitious moment arrived, nnd
that Italy merely got there first, j
Apart from this, however, nnd as n \
proposition disassociated from ari>' !
question Of alliances and associated
t.i'.iio wit It the matter Of territorial'
aggrandizement In Africa. Italy has'
only done in tho ease what Germany
and Great Hritaln had repeatedly I
done. In that view, she had aburi- j
daneo of Justifiable precedent.
?S for Italla'n alleged Violation of
the International rights of the peo?
ples of Europe," which has \ ? trr/u- o ,
to Italy's operhtlbng in the Agciiri an"
threatened invasion of tm- Turkish
mainland in Europe, If the allegation
Is- tenable why have the powers not
protested? The query effectually djs
\!OSi s the Issue In point, sought to
)."? raised by our Germany contem-!
porary and Its allies In bringing it
forward; In her policy of taking
temporary possession of Turkeys
Agcari islands Hud menacing the
Dardanelles und the mainland, Italy1
adroitly, though somewhat audacious- j
ly. placed the other powers on the ?lc-j
fenslvc, arid so far from evoking so |
much as nn Intimation from the
chancelleries that she nad violated:
the International rights of others, j
compelled silent, which was as strong
as voiced, acceptance of her claim'
that she was acting within her own',
lights and the rights of war.
TTTt truth Is that when the attitude |
of the section of the German press
in discussion is analysed it Is indica?
tive of ileep and humiliating chagln
over the pnlpai.de fact that Italy has
tit Insl asserted herself, declines to he I
].<1 by the nose by ner associates In
the Tralhund, and has stretched to tho |
p.dnt of danger of breaking the apron
strings ('??iniaiiy and Austrla-Hun?
gnry with which Bismarck tied hier to ??
those t'v.. powers. Tho "Italian peril"
6Vir contemporaries foresee has noth
Irt? to do with "the International
rights of til" people of liurope."
Tnat Is a stalking horse behind w-?ch
Is serious apprehension that Italy will I
snap tlie apron strings which have:
long been exceedingly irritating to j
tiie Italian masses and turn to the j
embrace of Great Britain and France.]
This would mean a freer hand fori
eat Britain in concentrating her
Medilcrunoah fleet around tne "Tight
Little Isle" as n safeguard against
i, . man attack. It would glvo her
. ther ally in protecting her Medi?
terranean Interests and In Keeping
>pen arid secure her routo to her Ori?
ental <mlore \iu that great tnlum'
? I the Suez Canal. It would
further Isolation f?r Germany
i vastly Increased ability for Great
? Italn to dictate the sea power of
[the world, nnd that Germany keep
the peace. There Is method in the
Mtteriicss and tho anger of our nppre
e ,iid Jingoistic German con?
temporaries after all.

at Chicago and remained In close touch i
with the Roosevelt forces up to the I
time of the nomination of Tnft, was ?
cordially greeted by President Taft to- .
day whert lie entered the executive i
olflces to present a constituent.
Senator Borah announced at Chicago |
that he would not follow Colonel I
Roosevelt and that he would support i
the regular Republican ticket. had!
nothing new to say on the subject
to-day beyond the fact that his po- .
sitlon was already well known.
"?The Democrats at Baltimore are
doing splendid work for the ROpubll- ;
can party.' was the comment of the
Idaho Senator as to the Democratic
rumpus, "bUt I do riot wish to make
any statement at this time."
There is little doubt that Senator
Borith will bo oho of the most prom- i
Ineht of the Republican speakers In j
the coming Campaign, lie win go
into protr-sslve !:? p '.blirnn territory,,
where he has many friends who were
Strohe fol him ns a compromise can- |

paign, oh plans for tine campaign,
everything being held up pending the i
outcome in tho Baitlmore convention
and the c-m'.ng here n.-xt Monday of
the executive committee of the Repub?
lican National Committee.
Tho Republican attitude will be
Shaped after '.he Democrats aet, and
after the program Of Colone] Roosevelt
becomes more definitely known, The
Jo itlon of national committee head?
quarters has not been determined, (but
"tvill probably be In Washington or New
Tork, ?with an Important branch at
Chicago, where Mr. Hilles will spend
much of his !!me
Tho prevailing opinion Is that the
R* p?bll ?'.?>.ns will be well supplied with
fand*. In th" tight for the nomination.
1t ?? understood, thf Roosevelt people
obtained three or four times as much
money a= did the Taft people, but in
the fight for the election the situation
will 1... reversed, especially If Colonel
Roosevelt looms up as endangering the
?Republican ticket.
Whatever Che views of Colonel
Roosevelt and hi* hackers ns to his
chances. It Is 'beyond question true
tlhat regular Republicans who dolly
visit the White Home are unanimous
In declaring that the new party will
make a comparatively poor showing,
and that the race will be between the

Washington. July 2.?The Houie ruehed
thro?gh yesterday a resolution Introduced
li> Representative Hay, chairman of the,
Rouse Military Affairs Committee, providing
for a Special appropriation of H.ltA.MjQ, a?lt- 1
ed for last Heek by President Taft, to pro-j
vide for the holding of the Joint militia I
and regular army Slimmer encampments j
already planned by tho War Department. ]
To-day the House rmnri the army appro?
priation bllli The bill contains ?ovfiral
,:. * 10 which the President bad ob- 1
locted lt> bis veto message, but did not 111
c nt,. any legislation which had been added
?? thi I'll! after It bad gone Into conti r
ence.
An attack on the way In which President
Taft vetoed the bill was made by Repre?
sentative May, of Virginia, tnis afternoon,
when in- hriiugiit up the oil" for discussion
and pastSgh, Mr. liny spoke for only a
t, w minutes, but he. had a large typewrit?
ten nianjiscrlpt on the subject of the veto,
which he asked to have inserted In the
iloenrit. Ill diseasing the matter, he IS Id!
"If the veto I' used In the manner to
which it !>? employed by President Toft,
theo Congress will be simply an agent for
registering th? will of th? oxeeullve. In
vetoing thin hill tlie President says hr will
e;n nny hi!' that has In It legislation
Which he approve!, but any appropriation
lilil which hat any legislation which h0
does not approve will not be signed by
him. He win sign any bill that takes'
m out Of t 10 Treasury, but he seems
unwilling to slsn a bill that will bring
about mi economy."
The bill, as discussed In the Ileus? to?
day, Is the same bill that wag pasted by
the House. It should not be confuted with
the bill as It v.as mart., up by the Conferees
of tie Mouse and Renate As the bill now
Hands Major-General Wood and his posi?
tion of il.lrf of staff Is not affected.
Tlie present bill cuts the number of cav?
alry regiments from fifteen to ten. it xeipes
out the appropriation for twenty-five fitmv
posts, und allows the Secretary of War to
abandon anv army poet he wlshos. The
five-year enlistment term Is left In the
I present bill, ,-inrt this Increase of the t>r:n
; of two years Is oae of the points on Which
j there Is great criticism of the War Depart
I ntent from certain officers of the War De?
partment.
This bin consolidates the departments of
the quartermaster general. commissary
general and paymaster general, and makes
:i great consolidation In ih?- eff|.?s of the
adjutant general, Inspector general nnd
i ehl, f of stofT.
I The bill earr|/,s nn appropriation of ?9;,
