Italy's Revolution. Taly has passed through a bloodless ! sevolution. The fascisti, impatient with the socialistic tendencies of the inistry und fearful of further ad- vances by the radical forces, have scized posilions of strategic impor- tance by swift and effective milita movements. The king, the fact that the nationalists domi- nate, has summoned their leader, Mussolini, to form a cabinet, and he has undertaken the task, after con- sulting with Gabrielle D'Armunzio. King Victor has been for some cars in a most difficult situation. ‘The erisis through which he has now yassed does not weaken his own po- sition, but, on the contrary, strength- ens it. The republican sentiment in Taly is represented largely by the vadical groups, who are evidently in the minority numerically, but have held politically important posts and lhave a sufficient bloc in the parlia- ment to make the formation of a wonarchical nationalist government difficult. The fascisti revolution is calculated to consolidate the elements of the king's party, if the mon- archist forces may thus be called, and uassure for a time, at least, a lublel zovernment in Italy. The fascisti movement had its origin in the soclalistic reactions following the peace, with violent manifestations in industrial centers.

This never has { been and never should be a factory | ut Virginia, over the river from situated and conditioned to be important industrial center and ing the co-operation of Wash- civie, business and financial lvaders toward this end. I At the very outset it must be made plain that to get co-opera from the National Capital there must be every auticn that 1 indus-) trial development shall in no way en- ercach upon the “Washin beauti- | idea.

The next night he is to ad- dress, for the same purpose, the di- rectors of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. The plan § ton mpl wised is to organize a mittee of Virginia and District of lumbia leade headed by the st mwan who can be found, to ndustrial scheme. This contemplates harnessing Great Falis for industrial power, getting the big railroads to advertise the Virginia ter- ritory adjacent to the railroads and the water front as the “industrial zone of the National Capital,” and generally to make it one of the great industrial regions of the country. Prominent Washington financiers and big business men are interested in this proposal. They are ready to give the heartiest co-operation if it will in no way disfigure *Washington beautiful” or mar its vicinage. Wash- ington business would profit much through such an industrial develop- | ment, but will refuse to consider such profit if it has to come at the cost of rificing one bit of the esthetic 1ty of the Capital city, its cutlook its entrances. or if the historic banks of the Potomac, especially from the War College to Great Falls, | are to be sacrificed to commercialisn:.

The resolution also requested the United Btates government to fix a date for the summoning of & conven- tion to frame a constitution upon which an in indent Philippine r public would be founded. Philippine independence can, and must, wait. The American people have other rauch more preasing business in hand just now, end Congress when it reassembles will be expected to trans- act it. Meanwhile, and later, the Filipinos would do well to assist Gen. Wood in the business he has in hand; to put their affairs, and particularly their financial affairs, in order; to improve legitimate opportunities now arising for their betterment in the new world that is now revolving on {ts axls. When the time comes the Filipinos will not be forgotten in the broad American readjustments. The Strange New Jersey Crime. A strange figure comes upon the scene in the New Brunswick murder yesterday, a “woman of mystery,” £he has been called in the dispatches, tell- ing her belated story of witnessing the actual crime by which the Rev. Hall and his mistress were slain. If her version stands it may solve the problem of this most puzsling homi- cide. It isa weird tale she tells—one that suggests the fantastic imaginings of the skilled writers of mystery stories. Faring forth at night upon an unusually intelligent mule, she chanced upon the scene of violence snd crime, which, from her descrip- tion, was of a most shocking char- She tells her story in circum- stantial detall and narrates a most vivid account of the slaying that, if correct, Involves two people. She left the scene and later returned to find a woman on her knees beslde the hodies, racked in anguish. This case at New Brunswick has produced some strange developments. There was first 2 confusion of au- thority, marked by blunders on the part of the police. Precious time was lost in the investigation. The inter- vention of the state executive was sought twice, first by the daughter of the dead woman, next by the wife of the dead man. Finally some order was given to the handling of the case. A youth confessed to participation as « witness and accused another, who was arrested. Promptiy public indig- | nation arose in behalf of the latter, funds were raised for his defense, his| sccusec broke down and acknowledged | the falsity of his charge and the young man was released. Then came the *pig woman,” with her ghastly revelation. 18 this a case of notoriety | seeking, or is it a belated but truthful contributicn to the selution? Psy-| chologists may discuss this question, but meanwhile the case drags on and no direct accusations are made. The crime, committed on the 15th of Sep-| remains unsolved. Yet it] daily holds the interest of a vast num- ber of people. It is at this time one of the most remarkable cases in thel criminal annals of this country. i The fact that Wilhelm's bride is to be called “her imperial majesty” in the nubtial contracts will not serve to start any widespread fashion in the matter. f While not personally complaining, Lloyd George frankly admits that his retirement lost the English govern- ment a very good man. § As Thanksgiving approaches, Eu-| rope offers every encouragement to the revival of peace dove and Turkey pleasantries. i Parking problems will apparently goes a step farther and invents a col- lapsible flivver. i While America ohserves the confer- ences of Europe, Europe is reciprocat- ing by keeping a watchful cye on America. k The coal output is increasing, but not enough to insure immediate di- minution of the consumer’s cash out- put. \ The tariff is relied on to simplify nearly all the explanations of high prices for some time to come. . i to oppose anything that threatens dis- figuring encroachment. teautiful vicinage for Washington { must come before a bigger busincss | for Washington. a { } A hot wave in Kansds, while neigh- boring states were battling with snow- storms, illustrates the determined dis- position of the Sunflower state to go her own way regardless of outside suggestion. } | Both the great national parties en- Jjoy the privilege of regarding results in the primaries as repudiation of dis- tinguished members of the opposition. 4 A large number of people appear to kpow more about the New Brunswick case than they are willing to tell, in- cluding the prosecuting authorities. ? Safety-first activities may be relied on to prevent too much demand for | temporary parking space in front of hospitals. i Gen. Wood to the Filipinos. Governor General Wood in his mes- sage to the Philippine legislature stressed economy and the conduct of the archipelago's affairs on business lines. He took a hopeful and encour- aging view of the situation, and said to the people that ‘“conditions of legitimate investments here”—in the Philippines—"are safe—safer than in many older countri He made this cordial and most worthy overture: It is my desire to co-operate with you to the best of my ability in ob- taining substantial benefits for the people of the Philippines. While we may have honest differences of opin- fon. I am confident that inasmuch as we each have a common purpose, we shall be able to harmonize our views and combine our efforts for the people’s good.

Certain individusls, whether Washingtonians or not {s a matter of no consequence, have been supplying bonds for those whose actlvities had been stopped, temporarily at least, by prohibition amendment agents, and for this serv- ice the bondsmen have charged a very stift price. In many Instances it has put a severe dent In the Jbank roll uf the dealer in contraband beverages. In many instances it has compelled some of the smaller fry to seek divers means of replenishing thelr bank ac- counts to an extent where they could purchase new stocks of liquors. It appears that several bondsmen, after having put up the necessary collateral for thelr clients, have offered to re- finance the bootlegger on condition that they would be given a larg~ “1ve of the profits, or, as they expressed it, “a good-size cut-in.” Now for the inside part of the story. After a cer- tain perlod of time, the bondsm who has been drawing down his share of profits in these illicit goods and also secured a heavy premium for furnishing the bond, quietly causes the prohibition agents to be tipped off as to the actlvitles of certain boot- leggers, with the result that once more the violator of the law Is taken into custody aad s compelled to give | an additional bond. The result has been that some of the bondsmen have completed a circle of continuous in- come by means of taking the boot- legger’s monsy and then later betray- ing him. While, of course, no good citizen holds a brief for a violator of the law, yet one cannot admire tho unsportsmanlike conduct of the aforc- sald bondsmen. * ok ok x 'OR many months we have read of the rejuvenation of the aged and infirm by means of glands—monkey and otherwise.

The fact that the offic ot speed record of 224.05 mlle: for the present, at lcast, to Gen. Mitchell hecause of the fact that, when he made his noted speed test, all necessary official foreign as well as domestic, were on hand. and when Lieut. B. L. Maughan re- corded his mark of 248% miles & hour only American Army and Navy timers were on hand, so that the lat- ter figure cannot appear as a “world record” is not of so much concern. in the opinion of the editors who have discussed the wonderful per- formances, as Is figuring cut what is to be gained by high speed of this sort. If high speed is neccssary to the immedtate future or aviation, cdi- tors agree that it is all right, but. in view of the number of noted aviators who have been killed recently—men that the services can ill afford to spare, there is a suggestion that it might be & good thing at present to curb speed and concentrate on safety. In addition, it seems a certainty that all records in flying are more or less meaningless at the present time, and the El Paso Times wants to know “where will aviation stop?’ In cail- ing attention to the fact that the per- formance of Lieut. L. J. Maitland, who with a handicap of enzine trouble to overcome covered a meas- ured course of 156 miles at the rate| of 203 miles an hour, and did thirty miles of that distance at the rate of 5.1. was of even greater importance. ‘A" coast-to-coast flight,” the Timey continues, “with one stop for fuel, A balloon trip as any uuusual feat. Humanity ad- justs itself rapidly to changed cond!- tions. A good many of us remember when telephones were a luxury.

There will be limitations travel, of course, for a few there were limitations to the the locomotive. But astonishing year. automobile and 248% miles won't sound to our children's children.’ This great speed is all right “for the Army,” the Chicago Tribune ar- gues, but from “‘the standpoint ‘of commercial development the gliding experiments now golng on in Eng- land, or which recently were made in Germany, are more important. Fo commercial development, out of which finer improvement must come unless aviation Is always to remain a subsi- dised sclence, we most need safety and low costs. Safety with caution is virtually here. The low costs must follow. Public interest'and patronage will bring them. And such sensa- tional achievements as those at Self- ridge Field will stimulate interest. That in the final analysis is their chief value outside the military.” The Worcester Post, characterizing the flights at Detroit as “epochal in aerial navigation,” insists that they also “prove that airplanes of the near fu- ture will know hardly any speed limit. The Post refers to parachute dovelopments in connection with speed tests and predicts the time is near when the mayor of Boston will make an official call on the mayor of | Worcester “in_ten minutes.” The Seattle Times gets satisfaction out of the performancea as conclu- sively showing “that American manu- facturers can build as staunch, as fast and as nachines as foreigners, and that American pilots are as skill- ful and as daring as their rivals over- seas.” There is also a belief, ex- pressed by the Minneapolis Tribune. that “it s possible that sustalned traveling at this high rate will some y be a common experience, and that a man will have to go 300 miles an hour before somebody thinks to shout at him: ‘What's your hurry? " And the Nashville Tennessean Bug- gests that “the airplane of the future 1literally will ‘burn the wind.’" History naturally repeats, the Oswego Palladium points out, in re- calling, “when in May, 1848, a passen- ger train on the Great Western Rail- ay In England ran 53.25 miles at the rate of 68 miles an. hour, it was probably .thought that man had reached his maximum speed In travel. ‘Except for short distances that early record still is among the topmost in_steam transportation, although rallroad trains have run as high as two miles a minute.
