Tlio situation Is such that tlio rela tions of Italy and Germany sootn to havo roachod a grontor tension than at any time, sttice tlio war began. Ilefore leaving Home in the spring of 1915, Prince von Duelow, thou Gorman ambassador to Italy, con cluded an agreement with the Italian government, under which, In case of war between Austria and Italy, Gor uiany nnd Italy pledged thomselvos to roepoct the property and lives of their rospoctlve subjects. This meant for Germany a guarnnteo of several million dollars worth of proportion in Italy, held by her subjects, aud for Italy the safety of 30,000 of her cltUeus, still living In Gormany. Had Keith Alleged. Xo state of war exluta between Germany aud Italy, and the negotia tion of 1'ilnco von Uticlow Is still in foree. Italy, according to official opinion here, has faithfully observed the agreement, refraining from touohliiK German property and freely allowing Riibjorts of the German em pire to rotldo here. On the other hand, Germany Is unofficially ac cused of violating the agroomont In depriving Italian In Gormany of their liberty of action, preventing mon of military age from leaving the country, suspending payments due troatlng them as siibjocta of a hos tile power. Accordingly, a demand Is now bolng voiced for abrogation of the agreement, which In addition to the alleged disregard of Its provisions by Germany, has resulted In misunder standings In allied nations regarding the situation. i E I.ONDOX, Julv 1").

WAITKUCIAX. Ills, July 1!5. Tho ease of Will II. Orpet, university of Wisconsin student, cbargod with the niunlor of .Marlon Iaiiubert, was given to the Jury this afternoon. Counsel for the dofeudant said that .ludgo Donnelb's Instructions to the Jury wero tantamount to a command to Dig Jury to acquit. Special ProMccutor .loslyn In closing said that there could bo no doubt that tlio white spotH ou Marlon's coat ware made trout liquid. He asserted that the only real attack on this theory was iniulo by tlio dofouse, outsldo the use of experts, was to Intimate that tho spots wore placed thoro by some ono lutorostod In the prosecu tion. "And you don't hollovo that," Insisted the lawyer. .Speaking of Orpot's statement thnL ho moroly looked at the body aud fled, Mr. .loslyn said: Closing Aiguinent. "If ho suddenly was surprised to rind her uiicnnsoloiis there, wouldn't ho hnvo hathod her head lu snow, wouldn't ho havo opened her drus's, wouldn't ho hnvo searched exhaus tively for signs of life Hvon tho rnllous defendant would hnvo douo that, but ho didn't because bo know she was dead and he alone know." At the close of Mr. Joulyn'H argu ment, Judge Donnelly delivered bis luilructlous to tho Jury. Counsel for tho dofeuso considered Judge Donnelly's Instructions favor able to tho defendant. Hxcerpts fol low; "The Jury should not go beyond the evidence to hunt up doubts, nor must they entertain such doubU as chimerical or conjectural." "The court Instructs the Jury Hint although the Jury should bo satisfied from tho evidence beyond a reason able doubt that the deceased Marlon lambert died from cyanide of potas sium poisoning, still, If the Jury fur ther finds from the evidence that she hud tho snuio opportunity for taking the poison herself without the aid of the defendant, that the defendant bad to give It to her, and If It Is possible from any reasonable manner to ex plain all tho facts and circumstances proved ou the trial consistently with the hypothesis that she did take tho poison herself, for the purpose ot killing herself, then this Is sufficient to arise a resanoble doubt and tho Jury should render a verdict of not guilty." ludgo Pntoitt Dciifcndniit "Nothing short of proof so clear and convincing as to exclude every reasouatde hypothesis of Innocence will Justify a conrletlon. and without such proof, the jury must find the defendant not guilty." "To warrant a conviction the de fendant must bv proven guilty so slaurly that there la no reasonable theory that he can be Innocent." "Huless you find beyond all reas onable doubt In considering the evi dence that the defendant had omilde of potassium In bis possession Just trior to the death of Marion leniert, then you should rind the defendant hot guilty " "Flight, though a circumstance to be weighed agalust the defendant, is not of s conclusive character and It may not u. evidence of guilt If It ap pears that there was any motive for flight other than a sense of guilt."
