ITALY WILL wr ENTER THE WAR the endeavor to deal adequately with the wide mmtifuations of Ger- man espionage in Britain which Knopferle‘s apprehepsion disclosed. Ins leached AI Agree-alt with Austria. According to Paris Adsiees. A despatch from Paris says: Pri- vate advices have been received here to the effect that Italy and Austria have reached an agreement which will satisfy the aspirations of the Italian people for an enlarge- ment of the national boundaries and preclude all possibility of an!» ed intervention by Italy on the side of the allies. While des awhea from Vienna recently saidp that Emperor F ran- cis Joseph was absolutely opposed to the cesaion of any territory as the price of continued neutrality on the part of Italy, the advices which have come to hand state that the Dual Monarchy has consented to the cession of the Trentino. It is added that the necessary docu. ments have been drawn up and signed. This news bears out the reports from Geneva recently that the Trentino, geographically and his. torically a part of the Italian pen- insula, was to be handed over to ltnly, but is to be occupied by Italian troops only at the end of the great war. Austria has inter- posed this stipulation so as to be certain that Italy will maintain her neutrality no matter what future events mny ehange the present situation. It has long been recognized here that however much the Italian peo- ple might desire to go to war on the side of the allies, the basic point in the official attitude of Italy is the declaration of Premier Balan- dra that Italy would remain neu- tral "until her interests were threatened." It hss been no secret that Italy would be willing to give a binding promise to the central empires to keep out of tho eoMiet in return for" satisfactory territorial concessions, and assur- ances that her aspirations in tho Adriatic would not be mensced in else of a Teutonic victory. Thinks Cool Calculating English May Be Blessing to Ila-kind. A despatch from London says: A protest against German self-esteem and against the prevailing spirit of hatred for England is made by Stimmen Der Zeit, the organ of the German Jesuits, which asserts that each nation has a special mission to perform in the world. Tho wish is express.‘ that the rich talents and ifts ot the cool, calculating Eng- fill', may become a blessing to mam kind, and that for France there may arise her old and precious civilization.

The Terrible Experience of a Rus- sian Oliver. The presence of wolves has added a new terror to the battle fields of East Prussia and Poland. A recent despateh from Petrograd gives the harrowing experience of a Russian offieer, as he related it in a Riga newspaper. He was severely wounded, and when he came to himself he was apparently the only living soul left on the field. Pull- ing himself together and leaning on his sword, he staggered as best he could to the shelter of the adjacent woods. “Just as I reached the edge of the woods," he says, "I halted in ter- ror. In the distance I heard the howling of a wolf. It sounded un- utterably melancholy in the still autumn night. Another wolf an- swered in the same dismal note. The howling drew nearer. Present- ly it was all round me, and grow- ing louder and more exultant every moment. "I am no coward. I am a sports- man, and have killed many wolves, but what I heard that night I can never forget. The howling kept coming closer and closer. I saw clearly there was no chance of sav- ing myself when the circle had fin- ally closed upon me. I went run- ning-how I managed it I do not know-toils some bushes a hun- dred yards away. I reached them and dropped to the ground. I re- solved to fight as long as I could. I hadniy loaded revolver and my sword. . "The wolves came nearer and nearer, and their howling filled the night. Now they were at the bor- der of the woods. In the darkness I could see dim shadows moving slowly between the trees, As they came out of the. woods from differ- ent directions, they drew together into one great pack, and stood thus for some minutes. Then another wolf howled from somewhere out on the battle field, and all at once the pack began to move. . .. "Without haste, in a deliberate trot, they passed the clump of bushes where I was sitting with drawn revolver. Not one turned toward me. I watched each one as he went by, expecting that he would spring‘at me. I do not know how many there were, but they were very many. all trotting so ath, to the field where the dead 6 lyhs- .

Germany to Settle A despatch from Washington says: The German Government has replied to the claim of the State Department for compensation for the sinking by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich of the American ship William P. Frye, assuming liability not only for destruction of the ves- sei, but of the cargo, under the Treaty of 1828. Germany requires, however, that the case shall be taken before a prize court for the establishment of facts concerning ownership of ship and cargo. To this the State Department will as- sent. A despatch from Petrograd says: The vident reason why Admiral Zouchon divided the Turkish fleet into squadrons in the recent raid in the Black Bea was anxiety as to the nature of the movements of Russian merchantmen. Although the Goeben has a large concrete patch in her side, and is slower by five or six knots than formerly, she was still able to outdisunce anything brought against her Sat- urday except the torpedo boats.

Lord: Roberta next made him one of hits, aides, a fact which undoubtedly had: much to do with his subsequent suc- i cees. Reguding thh post he attend- ed the Butt College from which he eventually passed out extremely crtditaNy. By this time he was quite the scientific soldier, and, what is more, exceedingly ambiti- ous and capable. Thus it wss'that, in 1898, he became D.A.A.G. to Lord Kitchener. and was present in that capacity at the battles of At- bars sud Khartoum. K. of K. en- dorsed Lord Roberts’ opinion of his brains by mentioning him twice in despatdhes and in taking this comparatively young offieer very much into his confidence, indeed, treating him as one of his right- hand men. A Defender of Lsdysmlth. By this time he was no longer a. _rifleman, having exchanged from the 60th into the Coldstream Guards, and on war breaking out in South Africa, Sir George White, who was very much one of "Bobs' " men and an admirer of "Bobs' " discoveries, asked to have him on his staff in Natal. Theconsequence of this request was that, as A.A. G., Rawlinson was with Sir George during the defence of Ladysmith. Though nowadays the siege of that, place seems almost a. small episode, yet it must not be forgotten that the defending force suffered tre- mendous privations and showed the utmost skill and gallantry in de- fending Ladysmith until its relief. Haulinson did so well with Sir George that he next went to head- quarters; in South Africa, serving under both of his former chiefs, “Bobs" and “Lord K." He also found time to command a mobile column, get mentioned three times in despatches, and get both the Kings and Queen's medals with eight Clasps. By this time he had convinced everyone that he had brains, so his appointment as com- mandant of the Staff College was considered eminently suitable, and so it proved. After this he got command of a brigade at Alder- shot, and later of a division on Salisbury Plain l He is essentially a soldier of the modern school of thought, and believes that brains are better than beauty, initiation more useful than pipeclay. Most men with the money he has would have retired long ago. Only the love of his work and a desire to distinguish himself kept him in the army. He is only fifty years of age. Essentially a Sportsman. He is essentially a, sportsman: even at Sandhurst he kept polo ponies, rather to the envy of a good many people who could not afford to do likewise, and where there is hunting , polo, cricket, or racquets there "Rawley" is tube found. He can laugh very heartily and tell all sorts of stories exceedingly well. He also confesses to a predilection for drawing, and there are few men in the service, even including the "mad, married, or methodist" sappers, who can make a field map quicker or better than he can, He has found time to get married and become a father. He also found time to succeed his father as second baronet. General French has told us much that he has done in France. and all that he has told us is to "Row- ley's" credit. Amongst other things we learn that-upon one occa- sion he was brave enough to take the responsibility of questioning Sir John's orders and refusing to sac- rihee his men on what he recog- nized to be a hopeless enterprise, and Sir John French in his des- patches agreed, when the circum- stances came to light that Sir Henry had been correct in his judgment. In doing this he undoubtedly did a far more gallant act thin in refus- ing responsibility by scrupulously obeying instructions and throwing away his menu lives.

'ilw disrepute of Mephitis mephitica is so firmly established that it is d"ffr cult to find anyone who has a g nod word to say about him. An ae- count, however, in Outdoor World and Recreation, by Mr. Ernest H. Haynes, who scraped moire than a casual acquaintance with a whole family of skunks, gives a somewhat different character to what he de- clares is a much maligm-d animal. By offering an occasional feast of meat, he made friends with a. pair of skunks that lived in a. burrow nears stone wall. One morning in early May he walked round to call, and just inside the entrance found a squirming mass of black and white young skunks, a.“ tugging away at their mother, who lay on her side that they might have a bet- ter 1tppertury'ty. "Her head was away from me," says Mr. Haynes, "and hidden in the darkness of the burrow, but her tail was turned toward me, and as I approadhed she raised it slowly over her back. This movement had great significance for me, since I was well within range. For ab- vious reasons I was anxious to avoid any misunderstanding at this moment, so I sat down and waited very quietly. Then I talked to her, knowing that she would re- tugnize the sound of my voice. "'Hello, old lady l,' I said in a low tone. 'Meady, now! steady'.' And at the same time I stroked her fur ever so gently with my fingers. Very slowly the expressive tail was lowered, and as 1 continued to stroke her fur more and more briskly, she stretched herself in comfort, and even leaned toward me a little as a cat might have done. I worked my hand gently forward until I felt one of the plump little babies. Without a suggestion of hurry I drew him from the hole, rose quietly to my feet, and once clear of the mouth of the burrow, dashed off home like an Indian to photograph and make notes of my prize. Within an hour I had put him back into the den again. "I continued to visit these queer little neighbors for weeks, and finally in June I took three of the babies from their mother and pro- ceeded to rear them by hand, feed- ing them at first with a glass medi- cine dropper. The next step was' to teach them to eat from a saucer, and this they soon learned to do, although in the beginning they were very mt‘ssy about it, for they would put their paws into the dish and Slop the contents. about. As they grow larger, I used to take them out. into the fselds with me and watch them catdh crickets and grasshoppers. Their usual method was to capture their prey by put- ting their paws on it, and then to kill it by rolling it on the ground with their feet. 812,000 Prisoners “Often they picked up wild cher- ries under the trees and gathered blackberries and raspberries by pulling down the branches with their paws. They were extremely good-naeured little fellows, and ne- ver attempted to bite me, although they were somewhat obstinate at times, running off with all their might when I wanted to take them 'home, or stamping at me petulant- ly, like spoiled children, when I went to pick them up, - “I kept these skunks tor two years. and they seemed happy in their semi-captivity; but I knew that they would be happier it they had entire freedom, so I liberated them in a wilderness paradise, where for all I know they are still leading happy-and useful-lives." A despatch from Amsterdam says: Word received here from Ber- li'n says that on April l, 812.800 prisoners of war were being held in Germany-rolls officers and 802.- 633 men.
