THE FIRST PLOW
Old Tuljal Cain was badly bored by
Jill the wrangles -of bis dsy; bo made n
plowshare of a sword, and thought that
war was flono away. "Woe whist,'' he.
eid, "when people boo how much a
yton-share beats a sword, they'll get a
ior"v and try, like me, to sanely earn
tlielr bed and board. The tools of war
I laugh to scorn, no worthy trinmps
lisve they won; a man can't cultivate
liis corn with any sort of patent gun.
War makes the weary nations weep, and
agriculture mukos them grin; no hus
lunilntnn can shear his sheep with entu
pull or culverin." Alns for good old
Tuliiil Cuin, and all the lessons that he

for ever .since we've scrapped and

wiser nmv, since war 1ms bled the na
tions white? Hlmll we proceed to make

The case of Gabriele D'Annunzio, the Italian poet-soldier
who led the Italian mutineers in the seizure of Fiume,
presents the most spectacular exhibition of the sentimen
tal poatic'temperament in politics since the days of Lord
Byron.- The latter, however, was inspired by a passionate
love of liberty and sought the freedom of oppressed peo
ples, regardess of nationality, while D'Annunzio is inspir
ed by a fiery provincial patrotism seeking Italian, glory
at the expense of liberty and justice, r :v ;
Fiume is not and never was an Italian city. Census
figures show a cosmopolitan community with representa
tives from all the peoples of south-central Europe. Italians
comprise the largest faction in the city proper, but if the
suburbs containing most of the popuation, are included,
the Jugo Slavs are in the majority.
Fiume has had a varied history and passed from the
possession of one nation to another since its. foundation
by the Romans and its subsequent destruction during the
dark ages.- Most of the time it has been ruled- by ; the
Hapsburgs or their feudal mandatories. Only for a brief
period when Venice ruled the Adriatic, was Fiume Italian.
Since the union of Austria and Hungary, Fiume has been
a possession of the latter, the port of entry for Hungary
Croatia, Bosnia and the Slavic nations held in subjection
by the dual empire.
Italy never asserted any claim, to Fiume until the Al
lied arms had been successful. Even the secret treaties by
which the Allied nations secured the support of Italy by
promising Triest, and the northern Adriatic coast, left
Fiume out of the reckoning.
Italian claims to Fiume were presented to the peace
conference and rejected as an injustice to the liberated
peoples, despite the threat of Italian jingoes to secede
from the conference. The action of D'Annunzio is for
mally repudiated by the Italian government, which, how
ever, is doing little to suppress the mutiny and has appeal
ed to the Allied nations to capture the city, which D'An
nunzio declares will be destroyed before surrendered.
Italy faces a second cabinet crisis as a result of the
Fiume episode. The sympathies of a large proportion of
Italians is evidently with the poet, who voices the imperiol
aims that led the Italians to their recent wars of conquest
and caused their participation in the world conflict.
; ; Imperialism and not democracy inspires D'Annunzio
a restoration and perpetuation of the ideals of the old
order of empire, a medievial triumph of might over right,
and all the poet's fiery imagery, all his passionate patriot
ism, all his fanciful fanfaronade cannot color black wrong
the shining light of justice.

As I gently rubbed my sun -burned
skin with colil-crenin, 'Julia appeared.
Cousin Madeleine 's maid.
"Can I do uuHliiiig for von, Mis3
Lime?"
"No thank you, Julia," I said.
Cousin Madeleine has been so thought
fill, lately. Ever simto Anne 'a illness,
.she has (vied to do little things for me.
Hut Julia still hesitated in the door
way. "Miss I.ane," she said, "will yon
wear your white Pown tonight t"
"Yes, Julia," I answered. Kit,, must
know I havo no other for eveninfr.
"Could I not n mm go your hair, just
a touch here " ,
She made a step forward. Quietly,
she had taken the brush from my luind.
With long, even strokes she wns lirusli
intr it. She had coiled it, then in a
soft knot, low on mv neck. She picked
up a narrow silver ribbon which had tied
sonic flowers, Hoftly she twisted it.
Then in a skillful way she caught it in
mv hr.ir. A tiny bandeau of sTtvet
wound across (ho front. At the side
wus just a glimpse of metal ribbon. The
whole effect wns lovely. I gave a little
Rasp.
"How did yon do it, Julia?"
"It is art, Miss Lune."
And it was art. l'or, when I had slip
ped on mv filmy white dress, I looked
demure, dainty. I might bis a girl of
eighteen with those rosc-piuK cheeks
and those star-lit eyes.
"Lovely, Miss Lane. It is perfect."
Julia stood off and wutched me.
I thought, "I look well tonight real
ly well. And Mr. Arnold has gone," lis
