NOME, ALASKA, JUNE Z 1915.
Sow that Italy has definitely cast
tier lot ott the side of war. the probab
ility that she may. as is surmised,
withdraw from the mighty contest
after regaining the possessions wrested
from her by Austria in former en
counters. seems hut a remote possi
bility save in the event that Austria is
completely overwhelmed beneath the
resistless tide of foes which are al
ready clutching at her throat and
threatening to tear her down. This
contingency aside, there is hardly a
doubt that the very conditions which
led Italy into the struggle will force a
continuance of her warlike activities
until the Austrian is either returned
victorious as the ally of the mighty
German nation or is a bleeding and
dismembered wreck crushed beneath
the overwhelming weight of nations.
It must be remembered that it was the
Italian people, and by their wish and
will, that the nation plunged into the
throes of conflict. The animating im
pulse of the people was in every way
akin to that which lias so long filled
the hearts and minds of the people of
the French nation, namely, the desire
to regain the territory wrung from
among the national possessions by a
dominating foe in former days.
Although little known outside the
national boundaries, this desire is one
that the Italian people have long hug
ged to their breast as dearly as have
the French looked forward to the day
that they should witness the return of
the coveted provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine To Italy the retention of
Istria by Austria, as the culminating
act of a long string of usurpations
prior to the formation of the present
kingdom of Italy and especially dur
ing those days of tense struggle after
the treaty of Vienna had handed over
to Austria the destinies of the several
Italian states, has never been forgiven
and the scars left by the galling Aus
trian yoke have resulted in a hatred
of the Hapsburg monarchy deep seated
and historic. Therefore, not only does
Iatria and its great port of Trieste re
present to the Italians what Alsace
Lorraine does to the French, but back
of the desire to regain the possession
of those coveted territories is an in
born hatred of the Austrians which
cannot he dissipated from the minds
of the Italian people save by the com
plete humbling of tlieir hereditary foe.
The spontaneous cry of the people of
Italy for a share in the great fight of
the allies against the Austrians is but
Khe natural inclination of a people,
who cherished the memory of their
wrongs, to take vengence when the
opportunity was offered and it is that
name desire which will, in all pro
bability, keep the nation at the task
to which it has set its hand until the
last memory of the wrongs that the\
have been compelled to endure at the
hands of the Austrians has been
washed away in the blood of the na
tion which the average Italian regards
as the chief cause of most of the suf
fering during that war distracted
period when Italy was struggling for
a place among the nations of the earth.
LINGUISTS IN WAR TIME.
One of the interesting sidelights on
the Euroi>ean situation is the advan
tage which the Germans enjoy because
of their ability to speak foreign lan
guages with more proficiency than the
allies In a dispatch to the l-ondon
Standard an English airman is quoted
as saying that one of the greatest
needs of the allies is interpreters for
hoth the French and British troops
He tells of his own shortcomings In
this respect:
'I regard the inezhaustable supply
of men who know local languages as
one of the chief factors of German ef
ficiency in the war. The allies need
absolutely all the interpreters they can
get and are suffering for lack of them
Verv few British officers and hardlv
any soldiers speak even serviceable
French Over and over again I have
myself been deliberately misled by ap
parent peasants who. I felt sure were
Gorman spies."
The average German is a far better
linguist than the average Frenchman
or Englishman In a measure this is
due to the thoroughness of German
educational methods, but It also is due
|to the fact that Germans who settle in
foreign countries associate with the
native inhabitants and assimilate their
methods of thought and ways of doing
business, whereas the Englishman
holds himself aloof, and the French
man prefers the company of those who
can speak French and thus relieve him
of the necessity of learning another
tongue.
It has aften been pointed out that,
no matter to what part of the British
Empire an English official may be sent,
ho will find a little England awaiting
him. with cricket or polo grounds
handy, and most of the social customs
and distinctions just the same as at
home Yet it is generally admitted
that the Englishman has mads an ad
mirable colonizer, usually much su
perior to the German. Why is this"
Strange as it may seem, the Eng
lishman's very refusal to master a for
eign language has made him keep from
becoming intimate with the subject
races, and the result has been that his
aloofness ha9 endowed the native peo
ples with feelings of a We and respect.
