Rome, Nov. 30.—Premier Salandra made a speech at Turin the other day in which he said two words that sum- med up Ttaly’s purposes in the pres- ent Kuropean conflict—*‘national aspirations.” These two words are worth remembering by anyone who wishes to understand Italy’s role in the present conflict, and how it differs from that of England, France, Russia and ‘the other parties to the great struggle, Premier Salandra spoke at the moment the Balkan situation was ab- sorbing the attention of the world, but he did not mention the Balkans. If Serbia or Belgium or Poland had been uppermost in the public mind he doubtless would have passed that over too without mention, for the lieynote of Salandra and Italy in this was is not Belgium or Serbia or the Balkans or any other altruistic pur- pose, but always and distinctly the fulfillment of Italy’s “national as- virations.” New Parties and Leaders. This policy of seizing the present moment, when all Europe is at war, for realizing Italy’s aspirations, has swept aside old parties and leaders and brought new ones on the stage. 1t has given a name to a new party, the nationalist, which is an extreme section of the policy of realizing Italy’s national aspirations, and it has founded a newspaper in Rome, the Idea Nazionale, whose name again proclaims this fundamental idea of Italian policy, the realization of national aspirations. None of the Entente powers had any distinct na- tiona] aspirations leading them to enter the war, and they were moved considerably by humanitarian and altruistic ends. And that is where Ital policy differs ‘from all the others, as she is in this war chiefly to realize her national aspirations. First and formost of these aspira- tions is to get back Italy’s two lost provinces in the north—Trent in the west, and the rich strategic country north of Venice, sweeping around the head of the Adriatic Italy, They are essentially talian; all the people-speak Ttalian; the Italian laws make them Italian citizens if they come to Italy; cne of the members of the Italian cabinet is from these lost provinces and yet is an Italian citizen and a cabinet adviser of the King.

She has always aspired to set them, back, but it remained for the present aspirations.” Eyes on Istria. But Italy’s national aspirations do not end with getting back her lost provinces. Just across the Adriatic lies Istria, that great stretch of coun- try which used to be a Roman prov- ince and later was part of the Vene- tian Republic. Italy does not forget that this valuable shoreland along the Eastern Adriatic was once Italian and national aspiration feels that it should again be Italian. And beyond that lies the Aegean islands, and the route to the East, with Italy as the great power lying nearest this dazzling field, and the great power having the larg- est coast line on the Mediterranean. In this, too, Italy does not forget that old Rome was mistress of the Fast and West, and that a Roman Emperor, Constantine, founded Con- stantinople and gave it his name. These aspirations are vaguely defined, and are not a distinct part of the present national aspiration movement, hut they all go together in the popu- lar hopes and dreams of an expand- ing and greater Italy. Most Notable Feature. The most notable feature of this new movement of national aspiration | is the sudden disappearance of Ger- man prestige and influence. For years Germany had been building up a com- manding position in the commercial, financial and industral affairs of Ital The Triple Alliance was the political bond, but German business men were doing more than the politicians. Prac- | t;cally the entire import of foreign | goods, except coal, was controlled by Germany. German capital established great banks, built and operated rail- ways, electric light plants, factories, hotels with German managers and German waiters., Some of the most influential capitalists of Italy were of - POSTUM —the pure food-drink Y and happier.

German origin or with German back- ing, and gardually German influence became little short of predominant in Italian affairs. Even in political and international affairs German influence s often felt, and one of the sins laid against the great Giolitti—and unjustly laid against him—was that his policy up to the time of his re- cent fall was inspired by Germany. But this vast fabric of German in- fluence in Italy was swept away al- most in a day by the new movement for the realization of Italy’s national aspirations. Up to that time, just before Italy entered the war, Giolitti had been the great power in Italian affairs, believed by many to be the greatest man since Cavour. He had more than 300 of his partisans in the Chamber and his word was law. Early last May he came to Rome de- termined to keep Italy out of the war, and with the Chamber full of his partisans about to meet, it was sup- posed Giolitti would prevail. But the force of the new movement for nat- ional aspirations was under-estimated. It wal lead by skilful new leaders, with their own newspaper. The popu- jar imagination was excited by ap- peals to get back the lost province and for a greater Italy. Giolitti’s House Stormed. Wild enthusiasm suddenly took pos- session of the people. Mobs formed in the streets; Giolitti’s house was stormed. His supporters in the Chamber were hooted and insulted. It was even feared that revolution might spring out of the intense popu- tar feeling. Gradually, however, the soldiers and police got the upper hand. Eut the new movement had trium- phed; the fulfillment of Italy’s nat- lonal aspirations was the watchword from that time forward. Giolitti and his followers disappeared from the scene and are in seclusion. Italy de- rounced the Triple Alliance, and on May 23 declared war against Austria. Since then all of Italy’s energies have been concentrated on redeeming the two lost provinces, and the fighting now going on in Trent and along the upper Adriatic is merely the latest phase of this great movement for the realization of Italy’s national aspira- tions. Prince Von Buelow's beautiful pal- ace here in Rome is one of the sad relics of former German prestige which preceeded the new movement. 1t is one of the finest properties in Rome, originally called the Villa Malta, but renamed by him as the Villa of Roses, as the spacious gardens are a perfect wilderness of roses said to number 40,000 rare species, prob- ragain ably the largest in Europe. Even in these days of approaching winter pro- fusions of roses hang over the walls and climb the sidess of the fine old mansion. Wife Italian Woman. ‘When Von Buelow retired from the German Chancellorship, he chose Rome as his future home, his wife being an Italian woman, Princess di Camporeale, and together they chose this palace of the roses. It was as a young attache of embassy here that Von Buelow met his TItalian bride, and Bismark yielded for the first time to a request that a member of the German diplomatic corps marry a foreigner—a precedent which later gave American wives to Baron Speck Von Sternberg, Baron Von Kettler and many others. The Vilia of Roses is as beautiful as ever, but the blinds are closed and there is an air of sadness and desolation about the place, which has remained closed since Von Bue- low retired before the rising tide of the new movement, culminating in Giolitti’s tall, the denounciation of the Triple Alliance, and Italy’s en- trance into the war, How far Italy will go into the Balkan campaign will depend upon how far the leaders think it will con- tribute to their policy of Italy’s nat- ional aspirations. They will not into it as France has gone, to save Serbia. n fact, lialy’s interests do not tend toward building up a strong Serbia, for Serbia, like ltaly, has her pirations for control of the eastern ccast of the Adriatic. Greece, too, is the small rising power of the eastern Mediterranean which might some day check Italy's aspirations of becoming the great predominating power of the eastern Mediterrancan, So ‘that there has been no marked en- thusiasm in ltaly about entering the Balkan conflict. The military leaders, like General Candora, commander-in- chief, have strongly opposed any par- ticipation, saying Italy’s road lay to the north—the rescue of her two lost provinces. Allied influence has been strong from outside, however, and a landing in Albania or a movement toward Macedonia may bring Italy into the Balkan theater of war. But in that case it will be because par- ticipation in the Balkan struggle holds out one more prospect for realizing Italy's national aspirations, in the territorial upheavals finally re- sulting from the struggle now going on in the Balkins. Two Outstading Features, The two outstanding figures of the present regime are Premier Salandra and Baron Sonnino, minister of foreign affairs. They embody the spirit of Italy’s policy of national as- pirations, but are not of the radical nationalist party which believes in spreading these aspirations over all eastern Europe. They are of the cautious and moderate class, Salan- dra was a professor of law at the university, and he has the scholastic mind, which measures and balances everything, and is sure before he acts. Sennino, though voicing an aggressive new policy, is also regarded as a sure man, one of ‘the old school marked for his extreme rigidity and correct- ness. He has been twice premier, was leader of the moderate party, so that it was much of the concession for IF MEALS MAKE STOMACH SOUR TAKE MAGNESIA Quickly Sweetens Acid Stomach, Stops All Distress and Makes Digestion Easy A PHYSICIAN’S ADVIC Nothing can be better ror the speedy cor- rection of sour, acid stomacn than the use of plain bisurated magnesia and if the many thousands who sufer from such con- ditions after nearly every meal they eat would follow the suggestion there would be far fewer chronic dyspeptics in the world and normal digestion would be the rule in- stead of exception. ‘Wnen meals turn sour, and lie a fermenting acid mass in the sto- mach, heartburn, belching, bloating and a whole train of distressing symptoms follow as a matter of course ana we call it “in- digestion.” As a matter or fact it is only the excessive secretion or ‘hydrochloric acid in the stomach that 1s causing the trouble, and instead of forcing the fer- menting food into the intestines with the ald of a pepsin plll or digestive tablet, a teaspoonful of bisuratea magnesia, taken in a quarter glassful of water should be used. This serves as an antaca and promptly dis- solves or neutralizes the excessive acid in the stomach, sweetens its food contents and natural digestion follows without any arti- ficial aid or discomfort or any kind. As there are various forms of magnesia be sure to ask your druggist for bisurated mag- nesia. Dage-Allen & Co. (INCORPORATED) HARTFORD Business Hours, 8:30 to 6. Tel. Ch. 1080.

These two cool old heads are thus carrying out the new and agsgressive policy of national aspirations. It/ makes a good combination—old heads for council and popular enthusiasm for momentum. And so this key-note “national aspirations” has become | tremendously powerful and popular. It is one of those chance political phrases which for a time catch popu- lar fancy. People here not only make speeches about it, but sing of it in reopular songs, and half the store windows in Rome have a big map bearing the inscription: “Italy’s Na- tional Aspirations.” The people gaze | at these maps, and smile approvingly at the waves of red ink spreading over the two lost provinces in the | north, and then down the eastern | Adriatic through Istria and Albania— for that is Italy’s line of expansion on which she is fighting this war, or, as she chances to call it, her “national aspirations.” of his ORDER GLASS BOTTLES.
