Italfans in Amerion. The final entrance of Italy into the great Buropean war brings the Italian element of our United States population to the fore- ground, and prompts inquiry as to the number and distribution of our citizens or residents of Italian birth. According to the censug figures for 1910, the number of persons in this country bora in Italy | was 1,343,125, while according to the classifica- | tion of mother tongue the number was 2,098, 000, being 6.5 per cent of the total foreign white stock. By this last measurement, the Ttalians in this country are only one-fourth as numerous as those of the German mother tongue, who constitute 25.7 per cent of the total. It ig Interesting to note, too, that of the large cities of this country the Itallan stock ranks first as having the largest representation among the foreign born population only in New Orleans, but is second in New York City, where Russia has the first place. In Nebraska the Italian born population as enumerated in the 1910 census was negligible except in Omahn, credited with 2,361 out of a total for the state of 3,799, In recent years Italy has been one of the principal sources of our immigration, last year (1914) actually leading all other countries with 283,738, and the preceding year being out- topped by Russia alone. Applying the obvious ratio to the 5,066 of these immigrants who gave Nebraska as their destination, it is safe to figure at least one thousand of them to have been Italians. The number of Itallan-Americans in this country, and their comparative recent exc- dus from the mother country, foreshadows a specially keen Interest among them in the for- tunes of war that may come to Italy, gal Quibbling. Frequently efforts made by lawyers to secure the acquittal of men who are accused of high crimes are an affront to common sense, useful only as indicating the extent to which an “‘expert” will go in the matter of distorting the law in his “‘defense” of a criminal. From Wyo- ming, for illustration, an appeal Is perfected to the United States supreme court in behalf of a condemned murderer because of an error in the date on the indictment, a blunder so palpable that it is of importance only bechuse it affords 4 technicality on which to base a quibble. In Nebraska the supreme court {s to review the proceedings by which a condemned murderer was convicted, the chief reason assigned being that a member of the State Board of Pardons was permitted to testify during the trial, the accused being a paroled prisoner at the time the murder was committed. During the course of a trial recently had in Douglas county the jury was asked to acquit a man accused of murder because he was held by the police, and because he was also accused of stealing from freight cars, the plea belng that it was only the police and the rallroad companies that wanted his con- vietion. Such efforts as these are not to serve, but to cheat, justice. In neither of these cases is tha innocence of the accused alleged to prove a mis- carriage of justice; the whole fabric of the de- fense resting on some technical point involving fact. Yet courts and law- Again are the generous people of the United States asked to come to the relief of the suffer- ers trom war, This time ft Is Mexico that sends out the appeal, President Wilson, as head of ths American Red Cross, being asked to take meas- ures for the assistance of starving people .in various parts of the southern republic. Of course, this appeal will meet with a ready and a hearty response from this country, and the destitute across the border will be given all help in their extremity. In no more impreesive or effective way could the miesion of the United States be shown than in the provision of relief for the vietims of war. It is the deed that sup- ports the faith of our people in the genius of their institutions. - The United States stands for peacq for all the world, with full opportunity for the enjoyment of all its privileges, exempli- fled by the contributions of its citizens to the ald of victims of the war in other countries. tale of all this strife is told, the this country in the drama of to- with such glory as will make proudest ray seem dim | Ce— ' Starting the Ferment.

That he is also stupid was clearly shown by his patently envious and unreasonable attitude towards Villa, whose fealty he could have retained by fair conduct and unbroken agreement. Carranza could have brought peace to Mexico when first he entered the city in August, 1914, to confer with Carbajal who had been appointed provisional president on the flight of Huerta—had he been aught but an arbitrary. vain obstructionist. Had he the patriotism he vaunts of been faithful to the principles he continually boasts, o provisional government which the United States would cheerfully have recognized and encouraged could then and there have been encouraged The second Carranza occupation of siexico City, beginning in January, 1915, under General Alvaro Obregon, repeats the story of the first with slight variation; there fs the same search for money under cloak of hunting out the “enemies of the cause,’” the same reprisals, the same barbarous disregard of el pueblo while posing as their champfon, the same inithlessness 1o the very principles for which they | claim to be fighting, the same arrogance of speech and conduct—ludicrous In its upstart braggadocio to | the onlooker. but grievous to the natives who must | endure and suffer its Insolent and cruely unjust man- | dates.

It s not unlikely that Carranza will executé Villareal on some trumped-up charge or other~that Is the Carranza way; but, if he 15 not murdered, he will be an asset to bankrupt Mexico when the day comes that it can set out upon the rehabilitation of its fipances.

Suth Is Felicitas Villareal. “Villa is the man to wi all those outside the factions Yook for a sol of the present addled condition. It may be that he will not prove equal to the dual task of fighting and playing politics, and the sequence of events following his triumphant entry into Mexico City in November certainly indicates that he was not, or la not yet, equipped for the double game.

He is a brutal specimen of low- born man, of the ranchero type: prone to outbursts of furious, ungoverned temper, and capable of any cru- elty to gain his end. Villa has fewer men than Carransa—who, by the way, is a general by courtesy and does no fighting but they are a better trained force, and Generals Felipl Angeles and Raoul Madero, brother of the mur- dered president, are two dependable asaistants. Zapata s a consistent but hardly a national figury in the Mexican question: his is guerrilla waffare, and Morelos state his battle ground, where always he has been & form'dable opponent. His followers are the stmple-minded, zealous Indians, fighting to regain the land rights which, ‘n their case, have been to some extent taken away without justice and without reimbursement. They are difficult to disiodse ar | home in the brush, but not strong in the open. They | are the “bandits” they have been called, because that is the one method of warfare they know. When first they came to Mexico City, they were honest, and even gentle—a strange experience after Carranza. If Villa is equal to curbing defections in his own party and of adding to his supply of ammunition, he will beat Obregon; if he vanquishes Obregon, he will destroy Carvanza's chief support; and so only may there be hope of peace coming to Mexico The cost of the Barnes-Roosevelt trial is figure! by the Brooklyn Eagle at $M8975.
