(By UOGrU; Y.

BABSON) Naples, Ituly, Doc. 20, 1912. Italy ha jusi been to war with 'tursuy. hyt In order to get. some more land lor her people.

Senile land Is very rcarce nnd dear In Italy all the level ground has been bought up and Is being Cullivuleii anil sens in very hih 1 1 ices. If the Italian Rarden. lie must buy ihe slue of a hill no sleep that his witc must hold him by a rope v.iiiie no is hoeiim the ground. There-lure Italy, om- dark night stole across tne iVieuiterraiiean sea und toon Tripoli! Ureeco and Servia are now ut war with Xurkey. Why? In order to get 1 tome 111010 land for tlieir people.

'1 hern uie saiu 10 oe S.unii.Uou Gh'chs in different parts of Kuiope and America, nmi yet elreeic can leeu and sheltei only about 8.U110.VUU. Both f.rccce and Mervia are very rocky countries and must have more fertile land or else he HljBorlicu by some larger nnilon. There-lore, they are lighting Turkey, as she Is now weak and has more land than the can care fori In every cafo I hear talk about a coming war between i.nglami and Uermuiiy. Because itviinany lieco more land, and it she caunoi get 11 anv other way, must soim- nay light lor it. "We might as well die in Put tie as to starve at hoir.

It Is for our In- lere-ts to luive a great number of una 1 1 ow ners. I Thcroloie, what does this mctin to you and me? Well, It meuns three things: I 1. That the American continent is the best country In the world In which )ou and 1 can today get money, land! and power.

As I see the hard-working tieiinans and Italians tilling steep hill! tides, the Russian peasant horno down by barbaric taxes, the Kngllsh farmers paving over "II their crops for rent, 1 111 predate the I'niied States and Canada, where we can buy a level; lertile farm '1 few dollar per iej nun work it with. .111 I-r of In ing roh-bei. by eiin.

We must light ami unearned wealth. A musl work tor taxing idleness and en louragiiig labor. We must adopt tho tin-lrh'S which are h-iua nrea-hed bv David Lloyd lienrge lu Lnghmii.
