No ffne Can Tell Whether It "bei Is at War With IZ: Austria. r." intuncl BY HERBERT COREY.. (Copyright, 1013.) RIMINI, Italy, July 21..The thou:R. sand-year-old republic of San Marino st- is at war with Austria.or is not at war with Austria. I do not know. I tried to find out. but I Was not let. "How could it go to war with Austria?" laughed the Italian officer who f placed me under arrest here today. "It ami only has an army of eight men." lave ut(fe(] that it had been reported in the United States that San Marino had formally declared war against Austria, in spite of the disproportion between the two. San Marino has but rl/cr 11,000 people in all. It covers but in twenty-four square miles, and those <ird' srl,Iarc miles are upon the top of a hill pre- 2,500 feet high, which one reaches by <airia P'ol'ifled goat track. We defended SHIS. Its JlliJllclI \ IIICUJ J. ll 10 1,1. uc«V has hut eight men in its standing army. .. But its detractors should not forget, we said, that it has a national guard of sixty others. The United States depends upon th-e same system, and in about the same proportion. We rel. sentcd these jeers. ® "Has-San Marino gone to war?" asked > the officer of other officers nearby. We ^ had evidently impressed him. They .shook their heads in dissent. EN- "If it has, we haven't heard of it." y*: j said they, "ft i5 true that S00 men in'-e have volunteered for service in the .nie Italian army. That is permitted, you ark, know. But if it had gone to war we He- should have been told." purb>r Some International Etiquette. in'th r demand that we be permitted to (Prj. visit Kan Marino opened an interesting dm question of international law. We were rear l,lost unwelcome visitors at Rimini. l- in That city is in the war zone, and forf eignersf(are prohibited. But San Marino is an independent republic.has been iniiependent ever since l'ope Ur,1 ;n ban recognized it in 1631.and the wle. Italian officers were in doubt as to ains their authority to forbid citizens of one neutral country visiting another neuiki> tral country. They solved the probaml lerti most ingeniously. " "You can visit San Marino," they : said. "We do not forbid you. We wish to make that quite clear." "Unfortunately," they added, "the diliE-enee for San Marino does not leave Rimini until 6 o'clock tomorrow t : morning, whereas we regret that you ! must take the train out of Rimini at ls"n 3 o'clock this afternoon." ° We compromised on that. They gracefully put away our compliments on t,he manner in which they had evaded a ;'K- legal entanglement. They insistently de'dp clined our admiration. To the very roe- last.-to the moment when they turned on us over to the policeman who put us of 011 the train.they maintained that s.e.. they had not in any way obstructed ?v our quite legal desire to visit San Ma.. rino. It was merely that we did not have the time. To console us, they died took us about Rimini in what passes in Rimini for a hack. They showed us the graves of Sigismondo Malatesta and his wife, Isotto. We admired Sigismondo excessively. He seems to have been the Carnegie of the fifteenth best century. race "Sigismondo," said the officers, "desired immortality for his wife and 0 himself. So that he created, a court here to which he attracted poets and painters and saints." Poets' and Saints' Bones. A very practical man, this robber IK'S chieftain. He held that poets who >llcr would not come should be made to yj come. When he heard of a good, lively versifier.a Kipling of the mid die ages.he sent out a posse with an invitation. It was quite immaterial to il in his patron whether the poet came in happiness or in chains. It occurred to Sigismondo that his court would be all [NT- the better for a flavor of holiness, that ke*. flavor having been notoriously missing from the Jfalatesta menage for the several centuries they had held Rimini. LLT So he ordered his men-at-arms to catch s- him a mess of hermits and prophets. The current supply being unequal to 1NG this wlemand, he robbed various graves : and transported the sainted bones to 1 his court. One suspects Sigismondo must have been a most unpleasant neighbor, but these reminiscences redeem Rimini. Otherwise one would only remember it as a town of flat err- stone houses and dusty, empty streets, jare upon which a fierce white sun beat down. That is not quite accurate. It was here, 200 years before SigismonI do's time, that Giovanni Malatesta the jjjJ" Lame put to death his wife Fran" cesca and his brother Paolo. E"he) world is the richer for the tragedy. It j.m. was oil that grim story that Dante based his poem of "Francesca da Ri» in mini." iule: More might be told of Rimini, for this is truly historic ground,. It was enn11s .......

Tt figures of Jupiter and Venus, Neptur and Minerva still look down from th arch upon Rimini's little people. Tbei is still turbulence in this land. Upo the house walls we saw rude scraw of "Viva I'Rivoluzione," which the mil tary had vainly tried to daub out wit paint. One may get in even neari touch with Caesar at San Marino. Thei the clocks still mark a six-hour day, a was the habit in ancient Rome. Ther is not a clock in the republic whic shows more than six hours upon il dial. Law everywhere is based upo the Roman code. The code Napoleoi still in use in Louisiana, is merely modern adaptation. But in San Marin they are unswerving in their all< giance to the past. Their law is tli Roman code itself, handed down ur changed through the centuries. Democrats in San Marino. Unless one has completely fallen victim to the charms of cathedrals an ruins," San Marino is the most interest ing spot in Italy. It is the most con pletely democratic country in all lit rope, with the possible exception of tli still older and poorer republic of Ar dorra in the Pyrenees. It is the mo* level-headed little land in the worli perhaps. Realizing that its strengt lies in its weakness, it refused to ex pand when Napoleon offered to exten its boundaries. It is the one remair ing survival of the Italy of the middl ages, when every city's hand wai against every other city, and towr were built on rocks to discourag visits. It was of such scattered an warring and anachronistic fragmenl that the movement which began wit Garibaldi built modern Italy. In on of his times of defeat Garibaldi too refuge here. One regrets to learn tha he was ungraciously received. Th burghers of San Marino had bccom selfish in. their freedom, and fcaile complications. It was founded by St. Marinus In 36 A.I)., according to tradition. In thos days .the men who wished to worshi according to their conscience could nc be content with merely finding a plac in a wilderness. It was further neccf sary to find a place in that wildernes which could be defended from thos who worshiped according to a differei formula. The rock of Monte Titan answered every requirement. It stand 2,500 feet high, with sheerly precipi tous sides, so that one sees for mile across this flat, warm land. So stiff the ascent that the diligence takes fiv hours to do the twelve miles from Hi mini. In the distance one may see th rock of .S*m. Le.o.. .Today San Leo chief interest is in the fact that in it castle the impostor Cagliostro died prisoner. San Marino's authenticate history dates from 385. During thos ten centuries it has been for the moi part free. Boys armed with cobble stones could defend its ladder-like ar proaches against men in armor. Today it is a self-respecting, sell sustaining republic. There are no ric people in San Marino, but there ar few poor ones. There are no beggar for there are few tourists to toss per nies. Its sole revenues come from il import taxes, which are collected b Italy at the Italian frontier on good imported into San Marino, and amour to about $12,000 a year. The cost < running its government is absuri Members of the great council of sixt members are paid $1 a year each. Til twelve members of the small council < twelve, chosen by lot from the gret council, are paid no more. Kven tl two capitani regent!, the ostensib rulers of the republic, are only pai $30 a year each. There is little coi of maintenance for roads that are ci in the rock. The wind sweeps thei clean each day. To 'an American, San Marino's chi< interest is in its political system, ur less one is frankly on the hunt for tl old and the picturesque. Bvery ma in the republic has a vote. Once a yes the great council is elected. The sma council eMects six of its twelve men bers as candidates for the position < capitani regenti, and twice a year t&v are chosen by lot from the six. The induction into office is an intcrestin ceremony, frankly a survival of m< dievalism. and abounding in gold la< and quaint processions. The systei must be held to have proven its wort: There are no official scandals in Sa Marino. Almost every one of consi quence gets at one time or anoth< during his life a chance at the ehi< honors. Because they* are abundantl practical, the infrequent cases at la are heard before a judge chosen froi a distance. The San Marino theory that in so small a community no juds could be found who might not 1 swayed by neiglfborhood prejudices. Years ago some one gave San Ms rino a battery of field pieces. It prove a white elephant. The guns could n< be fired from that hill except with tl certainty that the projectiles woul land unon the territory of their neigl bor. The great council considered tl matter for many anxious nights, ar finally solved the question by givin the guns to Italy. The standing arm is, in effect, a police force, and th national guard is merely a device 1 keep the standing army from too greai ly feeling its oats. If it has declare war against Austria, it was forced b the conflict between modernity-and a anachronism.

The ' federation represents the army of llie Catholic Church. 1 do not mean the generals, but the soldiers. This opinion springs naturally from the learning of the catechism, for from that moment you are affiliated with the American Federation of Catholic Societies. "Let you ally yourself with the great army. There is work for everybody. There is so much good to do and so much evil to remedy in this society that you all should take a part. "The press has declared that I am here as a special messenger of the Pope with a message for peace. I have no special message from the holy father on this side. You all know that we all must pray for peace as the holy father is doing. We must also pray to keep apart from war and continue in peace as we are." SAYS HIGHER PRICES TO STAY. Oxford Professor Declares Increases Will Remain in England. Correspondence of tlie Associated Press. OXFORD, England, July- 30.."There will be no more cheap prices; after this war the world is in for a period of rising prices." declared Dr. Slater, principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, in the first of a series of lectures on economic phases of the world war. "1 do not believe," he said, "that ; there will be a period of poverty aft| er the war. There will be no necessity for poverty, and such poverty as there Is will be due to misapplication of the productive powers which will be available. It will be the poverty which comes from wasted resources, and not from inadequate resources. "There will be no return to pre-war prices. That means that there will be a permanent readjustment of our methods. There will have to be a permanent rise of wages and other permanent readjustments to meet the higher prices. The proper policy for the trade unions is to accept the war bonuses, not for the duration of the war, but for the duration of the higher prices."

~ MYSTERY SHROUDSour~ SAN MARINO'S ARMYve.
No ffne Can Tell Whether It"bei Is at War WithIZ: Austria.r."
intuncl BY HERBERT COREY..(Copyright, 1013.)
RIMINI, Italy, July 21..The thou:R.sand-year-old republic of San Marinost- is at war with Austria.or is not at
war with Austria. I do not know. Itried to find out. but I Was not let."How could it go to war with Austria?"laughed the Italian officer who
f placed me under arrest here today. "Itami only has an army of eight men."lave ut(fe(] that it had been reported
in the United States that San Marinohad formally declared war againstAustria, in spite of the disproportionbetween the two. San Marino has but
rl/cr 11,000 people in all. It covers butin twenty-four square miles, and those
<ird' srl,Iarc miles are upon the top of a hillpre- 2,500 feet high, which one reaches by<airia P'ol'ifled goat track. We defendedSHIS. Its JlliJllclI \ IIICUJ J. ll 10 1,1. uc«V
has hut eight men in its standing army... But its detractors should not forget,
we said, that it has a national guardof sixty others. The United States dependsupon th-e same system, and inabout the same proportion. We rel.sentcd these jeers. ®"Has-San Marino gone to war?" asked
> the officer of other officers nearby. We
^ had evidently impressed him. They.shook their heads in dissent.EN- "If it has, we haven't heard of it."y*: j said they, "ft i5 true that S00 men
in'-e have volunteered for service in the.nie Italian army. That is permitted, youark, know. But if it had gone to war weHe- should have been told."
purb>r Some International Etiquette.in'th r demand that we be permitted to
(Prj. visit Kan Marino opened an interestingdm question of international law. We were
rearl,lost unwelcome visitors at Rimini.
l- in That city is in the war zone, and forfeignersf(are prohibited. But San Marinois an independent republic.hasbeen iniiependent ever since l'ope Ur,1;n ban recognized it in 1631.and the
wle. Italian officers were in doubt as toains their authority to forbid citizens of one
neutral country visiting another neuiki>tral country. They solved the probamllerti most ingeniously." "You can visit San Marino," they
: said. "We do not forbid you. Wewish to make that quite clear.""Unfortunately," they added, "the
diliE-enee for San Marino does notleave Rimini until 6 o'clock tomorrow t
: morning, whereas we regret that you! must take the train out of Rimini atls"n 3 o'clock this afternoon."
° We compromised on that. They gracefullyput away our compliments on t,hemanner in which they had evaded a
;'K- legal entanglement. They insistently de'dpclined our admiration. To the veryroe- last.-to the moment when they turnedon us over to the policeman who put usof 011 the train.they maintained that
s.e.. they had not in any way obstructed?v our quite legal desire to visit San Ma..rino. It was merely that we did not
have the time. To console us, theydied took us about Rimini in what passes in
Rimini for a hack. They showed usthe graves of Sigismondo Malatestaand his wife, Isotto. We admiredSigismondo excessively. He seems tohave been the Carnegie of the fifteenth
best century.race "Sigismondo," said the officers, "desiredimmortality for his wife and0 himself. So that he created, a court
here to which he attracted poets andpainters and saints."
Poets' and Saints' Bones.A very practical man, this robber
IK'S chieftain. He held that poets who>llcr would not come should be made to
yj come. When he heard of a good,lively versifier.a Kipling of the middie ages.he sent out a posse with an
invitation. It was quite immaterial toil in his patron whether the poet came in
happiness or in chains. It occurred toSigismondo that his court would be all
[NT- the better for a flavor of holiness, thatke*. flavor having been notoriously missing
from the Jfalatesta menage for theseveral centuries they had held Rimini.
LLT So he ordered his men-at-arms to catchs- him a mess of hermits and prophets.
The current supply being unequal to1NG this wlemand, he robbed various graves: and transported the sainted bones to1 his court. One suspects Sigismondo
must have been a most unpleasantneighbor, but these reminiscences redeemRimini. Otherwise one wouldonly remember it as a town of flat
err- stone houses and dusty, empty streets,jare upon which a fierce white sun beat
down. That is not quite accurate. Itwas here, 200 years before SigismonIdo's time, that Giovanni Malatesta the
jjjJ" Lame put to death his wife Fran"cesca and his brother Paolo. E"he)world is the richer for the tragedy. It
j.m. was oil that grim story that Dantebased his poem of "Francesca da Ri»in mini."
iule: More might be told of Rimini, forthis is truly historic ground,. It was

Ttfigures of Jupiter and Venus, Nepturand Minerva still look down from tharch upon Rimini's little people. Tbeiis still turbulence in this land. Upothe house walls we saw rude scraw
of "Viva I'Rivoluzione," which the miltary had vainly tried to daub out witpaint. One may get in even neari
touch with Caesar at San Marino. Theithe clocks still mark a six-hour day, a

The code Napoleoistill in use in Louisiana, is merelymodern adaptation. But in San Marinthey are unswerving in their all<giance to the past. Their law is tliRoman code itself, handed down ur
changed through the centuries.
Democrats in San Marino.Unless one has completely fallen
victim to the charms of cathedrals an
ruins," San Marino is the most interesting spot in Italy. It is the most con
pletely democratic country in all litrope, with the possible exception of tlistill older and poorer republic of Ardorra in the Pyrenees. It is the mo*level-headed little land in the worliperhaps. Realizing that its strengtlies in its weakness, it refused to ex
pand when Napoleon offered to extenits boundaries. It is the one remairing survival of the Italy of the middlages, when every city's hand waiagainst every other city, and towrwere built on rocks to discouragvisits. It was of such scattered an
warring and anachronistic fragmenlthat the movement which began witGaribaldi built modern Italy. In onof his times of defeat Garibaldi toorefuge here. One regrets to learn thahe was ungraciously received. Thburghers of San Marino had bccomselfish in. their freedom, and fcailecomplications.
It was founded by St. Marinus In 36A.I)., according to tradition. In thosdays .the men who wished to worshiaccording to their conscience could ncbe content with merely finding a placin a wilderness. It was further neccfsary to find a place in that wilderneswhich could be defended from thoswho worshiped according to a differeiformula. The rock of Monte Titananswered every requirement. It stand2,500 feet high, with sheerly precipitous sides, so that one sees for mileacross this flat, warm land. So stiffthe ascent that the diligence takes fivhours to do the twelve miles from Himini. In the distance one may see throck of .S*m. Le.o.. .Today San Leochief interest is in the fact that in itcastle the impostor Cagliostro diedprisoner. San Marino's authenticatehistory dates from 385. During thosten centuries it has been for the moipart free. Boys armed with cobblestones could defend its ladder-like arproaches against men in armor.Today it is a self-respecting, sell
sustaining republic. There are no ricpeople in San Marino, but there arfew poor ones. There are no beggarfor there are few tourists to toss pernies. Its sole revenues come from ilimport taxes, which are collected bItaly at the Italian frontier on goodimported into San Marino, and amourto about $12,000 a year. The cost <
running its government is absuriMembers of the great council of sixtmembers are paid $1 a year each. Tiltwelve members of the small council <twelve, chosen by lot from the gretcouncil, are paid no more. Kven tltwo capitani regent!, the ostensibrulers of the republic, are only pai$30 a year each. There is little coiof maintenance for roads that are ciin the rock. The wind sweeps theiclean each day.To 'an American, San Marino's chi<
interest is in its political system, urless one is frankly on the hunt for tlold and the picturesque. Bvery main the republic has a vote. Once a yesthe great council is elected. The smacouncil eMects six of its twelve menbers as candidates for the position <
capitani regenti, and twice a year t&vare chosen by lot from the six. Theinduction into office is an intcrestinceremony, frankly a survival of m<
dievalism. and abounding in gold la<and quaint processions. The systeimust be held to have proven its wort:There are no official scandals in SaMarino. Almost every one of consi

be fired from that hill except with tlcertainty that the projectiles woulland unon the territory of their neiglbor. The great council considered tlmatter for many anxious nights, ar
finally solved the question by givinthe guns to Italy. The standing arm
is, in effect, a police force, and thnational guard is merely a device 1keep the standing army from too greaily feeling its oats. If it has declarewar against Austria, it was forced bthe conflict between modernity-and a
anachronism. It may have been r<parded as desirable to withhold froiAustrian fliers a neutral port upowhich they might alight and submto interment rather than to capture.But has San Marino.this pinpoint <

peace in Europe and that Catholic or:rganizations the world over be asked toparticipate in a universal request for

their cordial welcome He said:>f "Today I am the prisoner of a great,^ generous, good Catholic i.eop!e of Toledo.
This is my second visit to your city,. my first visit being when 1 came to
America for the first time. I am enjoy- '
ing your hospitality and also that ofthe non-Catholic people whose broadmindedness I know;"I want to say just a word about
the Catholic Federation of America. The '
federation represents the army of llieCatholic Church. 1 do not mean thegenerals, but the soldiers. This opinionsprings naturally from the learning ofthe catechism, for from that momentyou are affiliated with the AmericanFederation of Catholic Societies."Let you ally yourself with the great
army. There is work for everybody.There is so much good to do and somuch evil to remedy in this societythat you all should take a part."The press has declared that I am
here as a special messenger of thePope with a message for peace. Ihave no special message from the holyfather on this side. You all know thatwe all must pray for peace as theholy father is doing. We must alsopray to keep apart from war and continuein peace as we are."
SAYS HIGHER PRICES TO STAY.
Oxford Professor Declares IncreasesWill Remain in England.
Correspondence of tlie Associated Press.OXFORD, England, July- 30.."There
will be no more cheap prices; after thiswar the world is in for a period ofrising prices." declared Dr. Slater,principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, inthe first of a series of lectures oneconomic phases of the world war.
"1 do not believe," he said, "that; there will be a period of poverty aft|er the war. There will be no necessityfor poverty, and such poverty as thereIs will be due to misapplication of theproductive powers which will be available.It will be the poverty whichcomes from wasted resources, and notfrom inadequate resources."There will be no return to pre-war
prices. That means that there will be apermanent readjustment of our methods.There will have to be a permanentrise of wages and other permanent readjustmentsto meet the higher prices.The proper policy for the trade unionsis to accept the war bonuses, not forthe duration of the war, but for theduration of the higher prices."
