German diplomats. The second la the Ilian Ministerial crisis, which is more important than the public are led to believe. It is impossible for Italy to again Increase her müiftary budget, for if she did before ten years had passed she would be a complete bankrupt. But King Humbert gave his royal word of honor two years aga to Emperor William. that he would never lessen bis army eyes by a single man without the consent of the German War Office.
King Humbert then can do nothing. His hands are doubly tled, first by the formal treaty of the Dreiband and secondly by bła royal word. That is the reason why King Humbert is going to Potsdam in June. He is going to try to be relleved of bis obligation by his imperial ally. He wants permission to decrease his army and it is doubtful if he will get it.

The passage of this bill, in my opinion, would mean that Americans would be as rigidly excluded from China as Chinamen from America.

Hereafter the words of Jefferson may be quoted: All men are created equal except Chicamen.
The bill is un-American and unrepublican. It is the result of ignorance combined with morbid desire on the part of its promoters to satisfy the fancied patriotism of their con- stituents.
