"The Three Godfathers"
(At Sherry's tonight.)
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

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.

peace she will press the "correction"
of her northern border. 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.
Something of the spirit of that an
cient mistress of the world has late
ly been horn flfrnin in hay Tf io at.
ing itself in a thousand and one plans
suddenly formulated and aimed at the

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. The conditions, it is rum
ored, were felt to be unsatisfactory

to the allies on their face. But, as
the story goes, the Vatican regarded
them as a starting point. 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.

Rome, July 5. (By mail) Only an
allied peace can satisfy Italv. The
