Ihe final step was the send ing of Italian troops to Saloniki. Italy and Germany severed diplomatic re lations last year. Italy's action probably will have lit tle effect in the military situation in tho immediate future, although an the war goes on it may have a more im portant bearing. On tho Austro-Ital-inn front Italy finds active use for hardly more than half her army and in future can send available troops to any front. Having committed her self already to the Macedonia cam paign, Italy's step is of no significance aa respects that theater of war. Germany hereafter will be free to take such part in the Austro-Italian campaign as may be decided on by the Teutonic allies, either in the way of leadership or by utilizing her sol diers when needed.

Mr Dunn avers are an utter financial fail ure, the excess of the total amount they have cost the public (exclusive of comparative taxes) over their pres ent value being $208,000,000 or $154, 378 a. mile.- With rates that are un justly burdensome to general tax payers, the lines have displayed evi dence of construction waste, extrava gant mismanagement, inaccurate ac counting and "pork-barrel" improve ments that would seem unbelieveable to one not acquainted with the inevit able attributes of government owner ship. With a capitalization of less than the construction cost of the In tercolonial railway, one of the Cana dian government lines, the railroads in the United States handle 6 per cent more passenger traffic and 27 per cent more freight traffic per mile with on ly 2.6 per cent greater operating ex penses. The major cause of this showing has been "politics," and the attempt of the present management to eliminate political influence is met with local opposition and a general lack of assistance. The picture, cer tainly is not pretty, but as an educa tive one it has great value. SHERRY THEATRE "Always the Best" Last Showing Today of FRANCIS X.
