K/VCH SIDK WANTS ITALY.
Warring Nations Bringing Pressure to
Hear on Neutral Country
Koine, Mu roll 15. ? Political pressure
j ui?oi? Italy to pledge its future eotfbto
either to tho Empires of Central Eu
rope or the Allies luis beeii augmci.t
iiiK for smut; time anil Is today be
lieved to hove nhout reached Its oil-,
.max. ; .
- A wording to thoroughly reliable
sources Prince Von Ruelow, German
ambassador, has given formnl assur
ances that Germany will l>e able to
overoome resistance of Austria and lh
diu'e Vienna to concede to Italy terri
torial concessions demanded, together
; with a free hand in Southern Albania,
j In addition, the Central Empires would
further Italy's ambitions In the Eastern
Mediterranean. The German dlploilat
pointed out that the marine supremacy
of Great Bfi tain and France would
have the effect of crushing Italy.
Representatives of the Allies have
presented the tnatter in quite- a differ,
out light. They have united in say
ing that tho defeat of Germany and
Austria-Hungary was inevitable, : even
jjv.Uh.out the participation of Italy ?.c_Iii
case Italy refrained from taking 'part
she would receive nothing from the
allies when settlements are . matte.
With the conclusion of peace, or short*
ly thereafter, they argue, the separa
tion of Hungary from Austria Is to be
expected. This would lead to the ab
sorption of the Austrian provinces of
Germftn nationality by Germany and
the consequent i extension of German
dominion of Trieste, which thus would
rprever l>o lost to Italy. In addition
Italy would be forced toabanrton Av
lona and ' the Aegean Islands.
What is believed In high quarters to
be an authoratatlve outline of Italy's
territorial demand and Austria's, posi
tion regarding them Was obtained to
day. The difference of views, as thus
Indicated, appears to be so great that
well Informed perftons can see no like
lihood of an adjustment.
Roughly speaking, Italy wants a
sweep of territory north and east,
which would extend her boundary
around the northern end of the Adriatic
Hea as far south as Flume, on the east
ern coast. That would include the
Austrian naval base at Pola, and the
provinces of Trent and Trieste. Con
cessions which Austria is tinderstood to
l>e willing to make are insignificant as
compared wltlrtbe demands.
It Is regarded as probable that* under
pressure from Germany, Austria may
be -induced -to^ grant larger concessions,
but the belief Is generally , held in re
sponsible quarters that the extreme
Austrian concessions would be Insuffi
cient to satisfy Italy.
Italy's demands, as outlined today,
are set forth as follows :
To' the north, shetfdeslres the entire
province" pf Trent, bringing her fron
?ier to Verioste, Pass trie amTBreoie. in
cluding the districts of Reverto, Trent,
Rossen, Merart, Rresanone and Bru
pock ; to the east, she wrints to expend
her frontier to the Julian Alps, includ
ing the provinces jof Gorltz and Istrla,
with the-^dtetrietAof Tolmeln^ florliz,
Trieste, Pola and Flume. ^ Resides, she
wants th.e Dalmatian Islands, especially
Veglta, Chereo, Lunga, Rrazza, Leslna,
Curzola, Meled and LIssa. ,
The only rectification of the frontier,
which, according to this, information.
Austria Is willing- to grant is session
of terrtory" 5?hlch would give to Italy
(possession of. Lake Garda, with the
town of Riva and the valleys of the
Chlepe and -Ailigg rivers, including the
towns of Itoverto and Tione. hut ex
cluding Trent, and to the east the val
ley of the Isonzo River, Including Gra
disea, but excluding Goylto.
'? It Is understood also that f^r such
territory as she I* willing to cede, Aus
tria asks a large sum of money and
also the renunciation by Italy of am
claim to other territory within the
/irastro-TTnngf]ri?rl?^lre Which Is in
habited hy Italians. In -return {or these
concessions by. Italy Austria U wiling
tomake certain local grants, including
the establishment of an Italian univer
sity at Trieste. -

NAVAL .TORPEDOES.
Intricate Meohanlam of Theae Awful
"?J Enginaa of Dattruotlon.
At the torpedo's bend Is an explosive
chamber which holds damp guncotton.
Thin Is flred by means of a rod which,
on contact with the walls of a ship, Is
driven in upon a detonator... This fires
a primer, which In turn explodes the
guncotton .
The next chamber stores compressed
air to the pressure Of 2.000 pounds'" to
the square luch. This Is pructlcally
the boiler room of the torpedo, for it
supplies the motive power to the four
cylinder engine which drives It through
the water on Its errand of destruction
Next comes the wonderful gyroscopic
control of the air motor by which the
rudders ure adjusted. This Is where
tb* Intricate mechanism of the torpe
do Is so clearly demonstrated. Should
It rise or dip in the water this gyro
scope actuates a motor which in turn
operates rods related with Che rud
ders and at once readjusts any deflec
tion from the course originally set.
The motor mentioned is but a few
inches in length, yet the power It ex
erts by means of compressed air Is
such that the pressure of half an ounce
operated by the steering ge*r produces
n pull of 160 pounds oh the rudders.
This terrible fish's tall holds wheel
rgeaftng~?or the driving t of -two pro
pellers and the manipulation of the
rudders. The propellers revolve in op
posite directions, thereby preventing
the torpedo describing a . circle.? Lon

Woman and the Old Olympic Gjamaa.
Oue rule, of the original Olympic
games could not be followed .nowadays
without provoking serious troubles.
Women were not allowed to be present
or'even to be anywhere in the district
when the gables were being celebrated
on pain of being hurled from a precipi
tous rbek. This rule Is believed to
have* been defied only once* when the
offender was pardoned In consideration
of tbe fact that her father, brothers
and son had been victors In the games.
One particular priestess, however, was
not only exempt from this taw, but
was accommodated with a special front
seat on? an altar of white marble, and
women were allowed to enter chariots
for tbe races, though they might not
be present to see them .win.

The Kershaw Pharmacy was badly
damaged by lire Tuesday night of last
week. The lire was discovered at
about 11 :flO o'clock by (Jus Welsh, who
happened to be passing and noticed
that the store was lifted. The stock
of goods and fixtures wore badly dam
aged by the heat and stuoke and water
and will entail considerable loss. The
stock of dry goods of K. V. Truesdel,
,in the room adjoining, was also con
siderably damaged by water, the dam
age being covered by insurance. The
origin at the tire is unknown but it is,
supposed to have been accidental. The
night, following, at about 2 :30 a. m..
the livery and feed stable of H. W.
Pace was set on fire at {wo places,
kerosine being used by the incendiary ;
and had it not been for the timely
discovory of the lire by parties pass
ing, the building would certainly have
been a total loss and some of the
stock of Mr. Pace might have been
burned. The tire was started at the
partition which divides the mule -pens
from the stalls ? one blaze being start
ed near where the straw bag hangs,
which is used as a seat by the wag^n
driver, the other in the loft on the
opposite side.
