ITALY THREATENS
TO COERCE TURKEY
Insists on Immediate Sat-
iSfactiOn for Attack on
Consulate.
fBy Gable TO The Tnbune.l ]

Rome, Dec. 21.-Turkey is following
her usual dilatory tactics in connec-
ton with the Hodeida incident, which
is still in allowance. The Turkish au-
thorites at Hodeida have not needed
the orders sent from Constantinople
through the Italian government, and
have not released the British Consul
nor punished the police who broke into
the Italian Consulate.
The Italian government is deter
mined not to tolerate further delay,
and has warned the Turkish Ambassa-
dor here that unless immediate satls-
faction is given coercive measures VIII
be resorted TO. She disclaims respon-
sibility for future complications which
may prove detrimental to Turkey and
her allies.
The Pope has ordered all the bishops
within whose diocese war prisoners
are confined to provide a chaplain
speaking the prisoners language, who
must attend 20 their spiritual and tenn
poral comfort and insist upon every
prisoner writing to his family. The
chaplain must write himself when the
prisoners fail to do so, thus insuring
that families shall know their fate.
The chaplains are TO advance postal
expenses. which must be refunded to
the Pope.

Who We're in Metz.

Paris, Dec. 2l.-Georges WE'LL, the
long-lost Deputy for Metz in the Ger
man Parliament, has been found-or
rather, he has revealed himself Rarely
has anything more dramatic or sensa-
tional appeared in print than the first
few sentences of his manifesto to his
friends of Alsace-Lorraine.
"Since the outbreak of the war" he
writes, 81 have let the German press
circulate all sorts of stories about me
and have neither protested nor denied
because | owed complete silence TO my
aged parents, who were still at Strass-
burg, and | preferred 10 leave them
even in ignorance of what had hap
pened TO me than expose them to the
anger Of those who were still masters
in that city. Now that they are in
safety my liberty % speech is recon
quered.
"On August 3 | enlisted in the French
army. In joining the army Of the re-
public, and thus continuing the strug-
gle against miltarized and Prussian-
Ized Germany, ! am conscious of having
well fulfilled my duty as a Socialist
Deputy and Deputy for Alsace-Lor-

NINE. VANDERVELDE
TALKS OF BELCIANS
Cooper UnionCrowd Rises
to Her Defence When Ger
man HeCkIeS Her.

From the lips Of Nine. Lalla Wander
vclde. wife Of one of the Belgian min
;sters of state, a Cooper Union crowd
heard last night the story of the suf-
ferings Of Belgium. 1t was not exclu-
sively a Cooper Union crowd, for half
dozen limousines brought a scatter
ing of uptown folk to hear Nine. Van
dervelde tell her story.
But 1t was a typical Cooper Union
crowd for all that in its quickly chang
ing moods, its ready sympathies and its
even reader rage when the inevitable
heckler struck his discordant note.
Last night he was a muttering Ger
man sympathizer, who two or three
times voiced his dsapproval in an un-
dertone; but when Nine. Vandervelde
described how the civilian population
of her country was starving to death
because Germany had commandeered
food supplies to feed its swarming
,soldiery he broke out into a shouted
That's a ie!"
Then the meeting became unquali-
fiedly Cooper Union, with an uproar of
Kisses, shouts and threats. the general
refrain being "Throw him out!" Those
nearest the mutterer stood up and
glared down on him and warned him
Of all sorts of dire consequences if he
made another peep. He peeped not
once thereafter.
There is 10 doubt snipers shot at
the enemy" she said, after describing
/ the destruction of Louvain, "but that
was no reason for burning towns.
"The United States showed such a
different spirit. At Vera Cruz, when
/ the soldiers were shot at by snipers
they did not destroy it, but left the
city in better condition than when they
found it. Would that the citizens of
my country were treated like that
She then told how a refugee ship
with 1000 Belgians fleeing TO England
aboard, was torpedoed in mid-Channel
: by German submarine.
fortunately the English ship Queen
was near, and all but forty were saved
What do you think of that effort in
broad daylight to destroy defenceless
ship filled with refugees ~
She came to the United States, she
said, to appeal for help, as this was
the only country not reverting 70 bar
barism.
81 have come because you are The
most warmhearted and generous peo
pie in the world. My country want,
your help for the starving civilian,
now and for the work Of reconstruction
later. When you 60 home tonight lool
at your own babies. and then think o.
the Belgian fathers fighting for theil
country while their families wander OF
the face of the earth, sick and starv
ing
She said she was touched with hei
reception in this country, and had col
lected in a little more than two month,
more than S250,000 TO buy food for he
country.
The poor Belgian children will hav,
no presents this Christmas" she said
but thanks TO your generosity the!

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville, y.
Yl, Dec. 21.-While a German bulle-
tim issued yesterday gave only scant
details regarding the military opera
tions in Russian Poland, the Austrian
official communication supplies data
,howing that the eastern movement Of
the Germans through Poland and the
northward movement Of the Austrians
through Galicia are proceeding stead

Special dispatches from the Aus

Dunkrk (via London), Dec. 21.-Al-
lied airmen made successful attacks on
the Germans in Belgium on Saturday.
In the afternoon twelve bombs were
dropped on Zeppelin sheds in Brussels.
Yesterday evening another raid was
made by a British naval airman on the
German positions near Ostend. He set
out i'm complete darkness and returned
an hour later, having dropped nine
bombs, which he is convinced caused
considerable damage.
This raid is the first instance Of
& flight to the enemy's territory made
throughout IN complete darkness.
London, Dec. 21.-While the French
and German official reports issued to-
day are conflicting as 10 the results OF
the fighting, it is apparent that the
Allies are engaged in a concentrated
effort to drive the German troops back
to their own soil. In proof of this, the
German War Office gave out what pur-
ported to be an army order OF Decem-
Der II, signed by General JoHre and
found on the body of a French soldier
calling for an attack on the enemy all
along the battle line. The order says
that heavy reinforcements have been
received by the Allies, and 1T Is now
our business TO clear the fatherland
of the invaders"

lest fighting in the west since the Ger
mans made their attempts to force a
way to the English Channel IS now III

AUSTRIAN DIPLOMAT
WOULD SEEK PEACE
Calls Country's Existence
Threatened by Sticking
to Germany.

Paris, Dec. 2l.-Taken in conJunc-
ton with anti-war outbursts in Aus
tria-Hungary, the following statement
of an Austrian diplomat published in
the Gazette de Lauzanne' is OF great
interest The paper does not give the
name of the diplomat, but describes
him as a statesman who had his hour
of notriety, but who retired as the
result of strong discord with men now
guiding the policy of the Dual Mon
archy. The statement says:
There is only one way out for US
and that is a separate peace and the
abandonment of Germany. Our exist
ence is threatened, and whatever may
be the result of the war it is our duty
to withdraw from il while there is
still time. We have nothing TO hope
from victorious German Empire.
Our future depends on weakened
Germany and on a Prussia that has
failed in her mission. Then we can
hope to regain preponderance in CEN
trail Europe without interesting our
selves too much in the Eastern situa-
tion, where we have squandered our
best forces during the last thirty
years.
by making peace now we may hope
10 maintain the status quo and TO COM
pensate Servia and Montenegro We
might abandon a part of Albania. By
this means we should pit against Italy.
our ally of yesterday, our enemy of
all time, the Balkan peoples. We
should isolate her in Europe and pre-
vent her becoming the mistresS~pf the
Adriatic. II will be too late FOR her
TO throw off her menacing neutrality.
She would have against her Austria
and the united Balkan States. We
could allow Russia TO go TO Constan-

Turkey. We should retain in exchange
Galicia. Boukovina and Pennsylvania.

Men nowadays seem to assume it is a great virtue to be abed late in the morning. In the wise old days or Greece it wasn't so. Here is quota tion from the dialogue of Charmides;
 Lysimachus-Let me beg favor of you. Come to my house tomorrow at dawn, and we will advise about these matters. For the present let us make an end of the conversation
 Socrates-I will come tomorrow, Ly- simachus, as you propose, God willing.
 Think of rising at dawn these days just to have a talk. Yet that IS just what "Athena's wisest son" agreed to do and did. What a contrast to our modern morning laziness! But think what a fine time it was to meet and talk; when the air was cool and full of fragrance and the songs of the birds. The world was just freshening up and putting on its beautiful smile Socrates knew all this, and so promised to be there at dawn.-Ohio State Journal.
