Italians are much incensed at the Ordinances recently passed by

the authorities of Trieste by which Italian subjects have been deprived of their posts under the municipality. The Italian Ambassador in Vienna has lodged a. complaint. Italian newspapers which have condemned the Ordinances have been seized at Trieste. As a result of the Italian protests the Ordinances have been slightly modified. Like the new anti-Japanese law in California, they apply theoreti- cally to all foreigners, but it is perfectly well understood that they are aimed at Italians. The agitation proves not only the enthusiasm among Italians for " Italia Irredenta," but the inevitable and apparently permanent insecurity of the Triple Alliance.
