GOVERNMENT IS UPHELD
Deputies at Rome Pass Vote of Con
fidence, 4 IS to. 49 Sending of
' Von Flotow as Ambassador
Causes Wide Comment. .
i
I' BERLIN, Dec 5. Commentln on
; the declaration of Premier Salandra In
tthe Italian Chamber of Deputies, the
Norddeutsche Allgexneine Zeitung says
I that Italy's attitude in reserving for
herself the right to take a hand in the
7 political readjustment of Europe, so far
as her own interests are involved,
J should make a great impression in
Europe.
; "Premier Salandra made It dear,"
; ays the newspaper, "that Italy's neu
trality Is self-impose;! and voluntary
ton her part. For thiJ reason Italy has
Ireserved the right t. act independently.
Ibhould developments threaten her po
sition as a world power through in
tended territorial gains, then her pol
icy of aloofness, maintained up to the
Tpvesent time, would no longer be
; binding. i
X 'Friends Wot Surprised.
I "For the friends and allies of Italy,"
;the Allgemeine Zeitung continues, "this
; announcement comes as no surprise.
Italy's allies realize fully that the
J Italian Kingdom could not be exclud
I ed from a European settlement."
I ROME, Dec. 4. The Italian Chamber
X today passed a vote of confidence in
; its government, 413 to 49.
; Formal announcement that Prince
t Bernard von. Buelow, former Chancellor
of the German Empire, had been placed
f at the head of the German Embassy
J here, while the present Ambassador,
Herr von Flotow is to be absent three
m months on account of his health, has
j aroused much Interested comment in
J Home.
I Although this move has been re
; ported as probable for some time, it
I has produced a sensation. It Is con
' sidered remarable that a former chan
i cellor should become the head of an
embassy, which is by no means the
; moBt important in the German diplo
I matic service.
J Move Regarded mm German Answer.
; The appointment was discussed with
- animation in Italian political circles
I today. Some statesmen declared It to
be Germany's answer to the declara
j tion of Premier Salandra to the Italian
j Parliament Thursday that there was
; no clause in any treaty binding Italy
j to participate with the Teuton allies
i In the present conflict, and that Italy
Z would maintain her present attitude of
watchful and armed neutrality, while
I others recalled that Prince von Buelow
had been most popular in Rome since
he was Ambassador to the Quirinal 20
; years ago. and that his wife belongs
j to a prominent Italian family.
j . Many observers are of opinion the
5 appointment" of Prince von Buelow to
Z this post means Berlin Is about to
Z exercise strong -pressure to prevent
; Italy from passing to the side of the
I allies.
j TOLL RATE TO BE TALKED
County Asked to Fix Prices for Use
of Harrlman Bridge.
Z A petition presented to the County
Commissioners yesterday by the O.-W.
; R. & N. Company asking that the coun
; ty determine the rates of tolls to be
J charged to traffic crossing the upper
; deck of the railroad bridge in North
J Portland, In view of the failure of the
1 city to come to terms with the com
Z pany for its rental, will be considered
T tomorrow morning by the Commts
t sioners.
In the permit granted by the Port
2 of Portland Commission for erection of
; the Dridge it was specified that the
; railroad company should add the upper
; deck for streetcar, team and pedestrian
traffic, the company to be paid for the
t use of the same by the city or county
- on a rental basts giving a return to the
I company of 5 per c.et-t net on cost of
construction and maintenance of the
upper deck.

to favor the United States aa much as
possible without departing from their
policy or starring Germany at the ex

reason is that both countries have

The maps are similar to those used

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE
Hood's Sarsaparilla surely and ef
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated In any other way.
External applications for their removal
have proven almost useless, because
they cannot drive out the Impurities
that are in the blood.
Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich
blood, perfects the digestion, and oullds
up the whole system. The skin he
comes smooth, clean and healthy. This
great blood remedy has stood the test
of forty years. Insist on having Hood's,
for nothing else acts like it There is
no real substitute. Get it today. Sold
