ENTER ITALY.
tawa dispatches received last night
ate that the Italian parltment baa
conferred full powers on the govern
ment to make all decisions In case Of
war for the defense of the State,
Which indicates that Italy ts about to
strike if abe has mot already done so.
Parts ia eaJd to bo celebrating the
coaoiutoement of the Italian psr?i
mant's aoUon aa ff wer had been for
mally declared. It la not improbable
that war han been declared and that
on account of new* from Rome being
greatly delayed the announcement
has not reached the United Slates
lu the event Italy baa taken Mic
Held against Ibe powers of the pual
Alliance, righting by the ?id?- of th-;
nations or the Triple B?tente, a
phase of the war entirely new has
hon brought about. The fact that
Austria baa made Btrong overtures to
tin- italian government to continue
her ? ourse of neutrality and that Ger
many baa not been inactive In the
same matter, wc take to mean that
these power? feur the entrance of
their erstwhile colleague or the Triple
Allan? ?' Into the pit.
There is much speculation ar, to thc
effect Italy's ?'ntrance nito thc war on
the uide of Fran? ??, England and RUB
sla will have on the early termination
of the conflict. Thin ls a matter
whfch can, in a measure, be dcter
mlncd only by time. But one can
(ike th?- force ot Italy's land an?i
sea forrea and determine, in a way.
the extent of ihp additional odds thal
are piled up against Germany and
Austria in their efforts to light their
way out of the situation confronting
them. With reference to the w.ir
Btrcngth of Italy, the New York
Times supplies the following Intor
estlng data:
The new that Italy has 1.700.000
soldiers mobilized and equipped, that
ia. ready for immediate participation
in the war. In probably somewhat ex
aggreatcd. The number is very much
greater than the peace-time estimates
of her potential atrength In soldiery.
The regular establishment has con
sisted of twelve army corps and in
dependent cavalry, a force of about
400.000 men. The mobile militia han
been counted upon for 1126,000 men
more, "but the numbers put into the
field," says a writer In the States
men's Year Book, "would) probably
not exceed 200,000." There is then
the territorial militia, which is more
numerous than immedaitely available,
as only about one-half of its mem
bers have pnsed through the army
and mobile militia.
It seems Improbable that a govern
ment less anxious for war than it?
people seem to be should have made
out of thin material an army of 1,700.
000 men. In no short a time, and while
yet at peace. But the Italian army,
be lt very much less, say only 1.000,
000 men, ls yet a tremendous force
for Germany to have lost in the be
ginning and for the allies now to gain.
It would thua count twice against
Germany. It has already counted
once, when Italy elected to remain
neutral instead of adding her strength
to that of Germany and Austria,
whose ally she had been In peace.
So long as she remained neutral the
loss to Germany- was simply that nf
help; should now bc transferred tn
tho other Bide the loss would bo com
pounded. What might have been add
ed to the German strength l:> added
to that of the allies.
And If Germany before the war be
gan thought she would command the
Italian navy, then she would lose that
twice In tho event of lt? going at last
to the aide of the allies: The differ
ence between 19 Italian warships be
ing added to the German navy or re
maining neutral is 189 shipB, but tbe
difference. between 189 ships being
added to the German navy or geing
over to the allies* navy is 378 shipo.
That ls as the relative strength of the
opposing forces would be affected,
the Italian navy might will be cov
eted by either sido, lt contains four
dreadnoughts and twp more building,
eight predreadnoughts, twenty-two
cruisers, eighty-six torpedo boats,
thirty-five destroyers, and twenty-five
Bubmarines. Its strength In torpedo
boatB Is notable, at leset numerically.
France, with 2 1-3 times aa many bat
tleships ot the dreadnought ana pro
dreadnought types, baa less than
twice aa many torpedo boats as Italy.
The Italians navy Is also strong in
cruisers, having 22 against the French
navy's 31. and these would bc a wel
come addition to the forces of the al
lies at the present time. It waa owing
to lack of cruisers that the British
admiralty waa unable to convoy the
Lusitania.

AMERICA HAS SPOKEN
(New York World.)
When the president, in hts speech a? the mayor's luncheon Monday, declar
ed ?hal "America asks nothing or herself except what she has a right to asi
lor humanity," he translated th?- not? to Germany out of the language of di
plomacy Into the language of the people.
That ls what the United States means In this crisis. AB the president so fe
llcltously expressed lt: "We want no nation's property; WP wish to questlor
no nation's honor; we wish lo stand selfishly in the way of th<' development
of no nation; we want nothing that we can not get by our own legitimate en
terprise and hy the Inspiration of our own example; and standing for th?s?
things, lt ls not pretension on our part to say that we are privileged to stan<!
for whut every nation would wish to st ind for, and speak for those things
which all humanity must desire."
Had the president's note to Germany represented anything less than tim
Inherent Idealism of the American people, it would have been greeted by DC
sueh mighty chorus of approval. Ile himself would not have been applauded
in the ?treetH of New York yesterday as no other president has been applaud
d with the memory of living men. When the Westminster Gazette called thc
note lo Germany "the greatest single event of the war." it had in mind th?
spirit and purpose that shaped the note, and that spirit and purpose are the
::"iil of the Republic.
't ir. because "the force of America is the force of moral principle, th it
there ls not anything else that she lover, and that there IB not anything else
tor which slie will contend." that the country has responded unanimously to
President Wilson's leadership. He Stands forth not merely as chief magis
trate of Hie nation, not merely as executive head of the government, hut ai!
. lie very embodiment of trat moral principle without which the Republic
could not live.
Germany could make no graver blunder than to misread the significance ol
that sentiment. The Rerlln correspondent of The World, whose news BOUrcec
ire exceptional, telegraphs thnt "Germany will not deviate one lot) from its
lubrnarine warfare against Kn gland " which presumably means that lt will
continue to pile Lusitania massacre upon Lusitania mnssacre If possible. This
opinion is "based dupon a knowledge of the situation here and the temper of
lovernmental, army and navy circles, the press and tho people." Ho that nv,
lt may. there IR an American temper that ls not to be disregarded either, and
that temper is the temper of 100.000,000 people who. as the president says
ask nothing for themselvse except what they have a rglht to ask for human
Hy. Such a moral force has never been subdued by any mllitiry force, -?nd
never will be subdued. If Herlin can not see tlnit, Rerlln in blind to thc
greatest fact 1n human hlBtory.
The American people, sometimes treat their government lightly. They ha
bitually treat their politics lightly and their political IsBues lightly. But
they never treat their ideals' lightly. They never permit thone Ideals to br
trampled under foot, no matter what the cost of protection may be. It may
not bc easy for the German government In Its present state of mind to ahow
io those Ideals the respect they deserve, but the need of so doing is impera
tive.
One of the Pari? newspap'erB calls the presidents note to Germany an ulti
matum. It waa not an ultimatum In form or in substance, but the spirit back
of lt is an ultimatum, and that spirit ls the spirit to which the president gave
expression yesterday. Today "we are privileged to stand for what every na
tion would wiBh to Bland for." If Germany does not wish to stand for lt, BO
much the worso for Germany. America has spoken.

?. S. OWNS THE MOST POWERFUL LONG
DISTANCE RADIO STATION IN WORLD
With tlie completion erf the bia;
wireless station at Darlen. Canal
Zone, tbe United States owns the
jroatest and most po werf t?* long dis
tance radio eUtlon In the world. Its
average range under ordinary weather
conditions la R.0OO miles. It took a
year and a half to build lt at a coa:
of $300,000.
Tho Derlen station ls one of a chain
of stations which will connect ali the
possessions of the United States. One
will be built st Manila, aaother at
Hawaii and still another at San
Diego. Th? government already has
a wireless plant at Arlington,. near
Washington. Through these stations
constant communication will be main
tained with avery part of the insular
and continental possessions of the
country.
Messages from Nauen, the chief
wireless station of the German gov
ernment near Berlin, have been read
at Darlen, and sine?; the plant went
into commission on May 1 regular
communications have passed between
Darlen and Arlington.
Tho station has three con.feet tow
er* cohering an aroa of six acres. The
towers are different from those at
Say ville. L. I., from which the Ger
man government receives and trans
mita most of Ita official communica
tions to the United States and through
which the German emb&jsy communi
cates with Berlin. At Sayvlllo the
base, of each tower ta secured .to its
foundation by a great hinge, on which
it win turn when pulled to an op
right position. At Darlen the towers
were built piece by piece. Just like
th? steel framework of a skyscraper.
They do not need the aid of guys to
withstand *he force ot heavy .torms.

Frank'* Caae Without a Precedent
(New York Times.)
Memory is searched in vain for
another criminal case in which a ver
dict of conviction aroused anything
even approaching or moro than re
motely nnnlogcouH to the dissatisfac
tion which is felt, and in all (?arte or
the country except one. expressed, lu
regard to tlje condemnation of !>>o
M. Frank on ?he charge of murdering
Mary Phagan..
What we now see is a simultaneous
and spontaneous movement every
wher? out of Georgia-a movement
in which ail sorts of people unite
to impress upon the executive official
of that State the adverse view of tho
trial and conviction taken literally by
hundreds of thousands. This they do
in part by resolutions adopted at great
public meetings, in part by petitions
signed by long llBts of names, and
still more by Individual telegrams and
letters sent to the Governor of Geor
gia, declaring strong doubt of Frank's
guilt or strong belief In his innocence,
and asking, aa an emergency measure,
that his sentence be commuted to
life imprisonment in order that op
portunity may bo provided for t ? fu
ture vindication as confidently ex
pected.
Meanwhile-and it ls a strange . and
somewhat mystifying phenomenon
we hoar almost nothing from the citl
xena of Atlanta and Georgia, as such.
That anything Ilka all of thom-that
oven a majority-believe tho guilt of
Frank proved beyond a "reasonable
doubt" as the law demands, by tho
unsupported and largely refuted
testimony of a depraved negro. Is not
claimed, even by themselves. Of the
few Georgians who venture to express
an opinion, practically all either favor
or consent tn a commutation of sen
tence. Frank's death ls now demand

real antagonism to leniency-to a
chance for reconsideration-now re

Proof Which Disproves.
(New York World )
We cannot but admire the extraor
dinary intellectual acumen and pow
ers of deductive logic shown by Prof.
Jastrow, German economist. After
all other minds had failed to connect
the government of the United States
with the manufacture and sale of war
munitions to the enemies ot Ger
many, he announces tu? discovery
that thc Federal Reserve banks are
accepting notes in payment for these
munitions and that these notes are
obligations o' thc? United States. Thia
constitutes a "violation of neutrali
ty."
Prof. Jastrow's discovery is about
en.mil lu truth to some other prior
German conclusions abou the United
States. Federal reserve circulating
notes are, Indeed, obligations of tba
United States in a remote sense, bnt
the notes ho speaks of are a different
thing. - They are mercantile paper ac
cepted or Indorsed by member banks
and become an obligation of these
banks and not ot the government.
They romain an obligation of these
banks even when rediscounted at a
federal reserve bank, and the most the
government undertakes to do ts to
hold tho banks to tbeir obligations.
The existing national bank notes
are more.directly an obligation ot the
United States than the federal reserve
notes. But is the government of the
United statcB therefore associated in
any degree with every private concerb
which does business with a national
bank?
The best evidence of the strict neu
trality of the United States ls to be
found In the desporation of the argu
ments to disprove lt. of which Prof.
Jastrow's Is a crowning example.
