King of Italy Seeks Military Reduction

The King of Italy, who visited the Czar of Russia in July, will pay a visit to the Emperor of Germany during the present month. His visits to these monarchs is said to be in the interests of a reduction in the naval and military expenditures of the European nations. He is said to have received much encouragement from the czar along this line. There is no question but that it would be a great boon to the sorely over-taxed peasants, but there is a great question whether the king will be able to bring it to pass.
