When "The Three Godfathers" ap peared in the Saturday Evening Post the editor of that publication declared that Peter B. Kyne had written the time it appeared in the distance until it overwhelmed the immediate scene and then passed onward. The Bluebird production has other novel features. Three desperadoes are c ailed upon to keep the breath of life in the newly born babe, suddenly and unexpectedly thrust upon them when its mother died, alone in the middle of the Mojave desert. The touch of human interest that develops from the sacrifices of these men in transferring the baby to a place of safety is the great element upon ARCADE best story the Post ever printed.' With a special car filled with ani mals and paraphernalia necessary to the proper equipment of the scenes, Le Saint took a large company to the Mojave desert and there worked four weeks completing the exteriors. In cident to his stay on the desert Mr. Le Saint 'caught" an actual sand storm in all its terrifying details, from the which the Bluebird feature is expect ed to make its appeal to the public. A plan of cooperation between forest officers and postoffice employ es has been put into action, whereby rural mail carriers and postmasters in or near National forests are to re port the discovery of forest fires to the nearest forest officer.

She will seek, as she always has sought, tho return of her "unredeemed lands," Trent and Trieste. The natural fortifications of the Alps, which are now entirely In Austrian territory, must be divided. Italy must have something besides frontier plains and valleys to insure her a peaceful and prosperous life. The almost insurmountable difficul ties of her mountain warfare, she as serts, have proven this to her beyond the shadow of a doubt. The "threat" of an armed Austria, looking down upon her, must be forever removed. In the Italian opinion the Austrian control of t.lA Artrinfii alc cIiauM come to an end. Owing to the uneven- ness or xne Daiance, Italy declares that her Adriatic commerce has amounted to a practical nothing. On the other hand. Austria if in naaai4ar) has thrived on her unjust control and prevented lair competition. Under the spur of such possessions Italy dreams that much of the power of old Rome would return to her.

The presence of the Pope in Rome apparently has done little to comnli- cate the Italian situation. Benedict nas made at least one direct plea and not a few indirect pleas for a gen eral peace. His efforts have been diplomatically resisted by all the al lies, including Ttnlv. Th nu.ow.j inquiries of the Holy Father, it is said, always meet with a unanimous allied response. "We are ready for peace, but only for an allied peace' the allies invariably are reported to reply. The Italian papers generally trive but little if nnv cmilna t-N V Pope's peaceward utterances. Con sequently they do not come into the constant thought of the people. The possibility of any marked effect is therefore eliminated. However, the general belief here is that Germany is seeking to effect peace through the Holy Father. Papal representatives to the Central Powers are said to have laid the con ditions of a pax Germanica before His Holiness.

Many be lieve that they invited President Wil son's recent academic discussions on peace and the apparent interest of the King of Spain. Italians generally view the alleged performance as a show of German weakness and an enemy plea for an early peace. These can be the neces sary preliminary steps that possibly may reach peace, it is admitted. The bali, however, can be and probably will be on the roll for many months, it is reminded. If it is on the roll at all, comes the constant Italian repeti tion, it is on the roll not toward a pax Germanica but toward a stable allied' peace. When will the war end? Italian speculation gives the question many answers. The Vatican, it is felt, is making a stupendous effort to end the strife before Winter. The Pope, it is rumored, has not given up nope of accomplishing his purpose. The mili tary apparently does not look for fin al triumph before 1918. The people guess everything, ranging from five more months to five more years. The Italian government, however, does not speculate. It leaves that to the oth ers. In the meanime it prepares by hard and constant, but patriotic labor for am indefinite period of fighting.
