H ; ernment. H ‘Washington, D, C. Aug. 24—A re- ew of Italy’s economic condition be- re the war suggests the nature of problems confranting her in the Present and forms a commentary of in- terest to Americans upon the happen- ings in the southwestern war theatre. I considering, Italy's pre-war . condl- tion, it must be remembered that Aus- tria-Hungary, her opponent, has been considered by students of fianances to be in a bad way for years The main difference is that the Dual Monarchy is a land rich in natural resources, while Italy is poor in those things that to make up an industrial nation. ustrians have invested heavily in tutures with considerable optimism, while the Italians have faced the prob- lem of hewing out a way of progress by better organizations, better techni- que and by territorial expanmsion. A brief sketch of Itallan commerce, in- Qustry and finances is given in a bul- letin just issued by the National Geo- graphic Society, which follows: “Italy was just getting into the struggle of international trade compe- tition in earnmest at the outbreak the European war. Of cougse, Ital history of economic growth as a nation is a matter of barely 50 years, most of which time has been time of slow preparation. Step by step, in her northern states, an industry has been built up and its development has been in spite of great odds; for Italy 1s a land poor in actual resources, shelter- ing millions of poor citizens, yet sup- porting a large national debt and an expensive government. < “Modern Italy is more a land of art traditions than of art itself. It is a aterial nation, absorbed in its prob- ems of commercial and industrial growth, of higher standards of life for its people, and of more practical and efficient organization. ~ The Italian people are industrious, on the whole well educated, ingenious mechanics, and possessed of the keemest ambi- dons for themselves and their coun- try. “Italy is credited with a total na- tional wealth less than ome-tenth as great as that of the United States, while its population is equal to four- tenths of the population of this coun- try. It had at the beginning of the war, a public debt considerably larger than ours ana this debt bore interest ranging from three to five per cent. Part of its heavy government expenses came from the task of developing of the seventh largest navy in the world, and the maintainance in peace times of a standing army of 240,000. These ex- penditures are now increased enor- mously. “It has been said that the stream of money that has flowed from the sons and daughters of Italy working in the United States has represented the margin of comfort to-the masses of home-staying Italians. The annual remittances from this country have been well over $100,000,000, or about ‘equal to the yearly interest the govern- ment has had to pay each year upon the whole national debt. the Italian government i and the burden of interest carried by her pea- ple was greater than that of the Uni- teq States or of Germany before the ‘war. The amount of money brought into Italy from the United States has been equal to ome-fifth of ‘raised by the nation as revenue from the amount ‘The credjt of housew g ‘ soweak. Lydia E.

NORWICH WOMEN FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE Mrs. W. L. Stearns and Mrs. O. L. Johnson Members of National Com- mittee. Mrs. W. L. Stearns and Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson, of Norwich, have been ap: pointed members of the National Com- mittee of the Woman's Section of the Navy League of the United States to organize the local work of that body in arousing the women of the United States to the necessity in the present days of strife and peril to work for the ends of patriotism and national de- fense. They will act in conjunction with a body of more than a thousand aof the most prominent women in every section of the United States, num- bering among them Mrs. William Cum- ming Story, President General I\ A. R., Mrs. Daisy “McLaurin Stevens, Presi- dent General Daughters of the Confed- eracy, Mrs. George Dewey, Miss Anne Morgan, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, Mrs. Thomas Edison, .Mrs. Alexander Van Renssaeller, Mrs. George Lauder Car- negie, Mrs. Grace M. Pierce, Registrar D. A. R, Mrs. Augustus P. Gardiner, Mrs. Medill McCormick, Mrs. Ralph Beaver Strassburger, Miss Julia Mar- lowe, Mrs. George Harvey and a host of others. The Woman's Segction of the Navy League is the first and only woman's organization in this country working for the cause of patrietism and na- tional defense. It was organized by a number of patriotic women in Wash- ington whose husbands were members of the mem's Navy League, who thought_ that women ought to have ome part in the National Defense movement exclusively their own. The | section’s call to the women of Amer- ica to rally to the cause of patriotism instantly struck a responsive key-note in the hearts and imaginations of the patriotic women all over the country, and the section has spread like wild- fire. Letters have been received from prominent women all over the country, enthusiastically endorsing the League, and memberships bave been pouring in at the rate of several thousand a day. present, although the work has been in progress omly a little more than two weeks, the Section has over ten thousand active working members, and enthusiasm runs high. In the va- rious localities in which the Section builds up strong organizations other pageants will be held. Boarde of Trade and Comercial and Political bodies of all sorts will be visited and no effort will be spared to point out to the law- makers of the country the necessity of providing National Defense, and of adopting such measures as shall en- courage the growth of true patriotism throughout the land. TRIBUTE TO MRS. USSHER. Death Came to Her in the Land She Lowsd, in the Work to Which Her Life Was Consecrated. At Newington, Sunday, Rev, Her- bert Mack the Congregational church spoke briefly in memory of Mre, Elzabeth Barrows Ussher, the daugh- ter of Rev. J. O. Banom, of Norwich Town, a former pastor of the church, who dled of gyphus fever recently at Van, Turkey/as announced by cable, He said: “In this fearful stream of war that has been sweeping over Europe, and parts of Asia, it so happens that the district aboyt Vi and Urumiah in Persia has & very whirlpool of slaughter and pestilence.

For years now the Sunday school has regularly supported a Turkish orphan of her selection. She had just the qualities and the fitness that brought her success in one of the hardest mis- sion fields in all the world, “Do you say, now, that disaster has fallen upon the mission, now that this life has been sacrified that the mis- sionaries should have been recalled?
