Whole of Days Session Likely To Be Consumed With Further Cross Examination-C0nf With
 His Counsel

Syracuse, N. Y, April 25-Theodore Roosevelt will resume the witness stand here tomorrow for further examination in William Barnes s5O,oo0 suit for alleged libel, The examination, attorneys said to- night. was likely to consume the whole of tomorrows session of court.
 Barnes arrived here today from Al bany, where he went when court was recessed Friday. He took part in a lengthy conference with his attorneys, then announced he would return to Al bany tomorrow to be present at the re- opening of the state constitutional con- rcntion.
 Attorneys said Barnes probably would tare che sand sometime next week.
 Colonel Roosevelt conferred with his counsel, too. This morning he went to church and later motored from the home of Horace S. Wilkinson, progressive leader, whose guest he is. to a hotel where he met his lawyers.
 Syracuse apparently is becoming used to having the former President as its guest. When tEe colonel first arrived here he was followed about town. Now the Syracusans still watch the colonel but they have stopped following him.

SOCIALISTS PLAN ID
 KEEP ITALY NEUTRAL IS HELD INADEQUATE
Widespread Criticism Felt Over Plan For Agreement Presented to Prince
 VOn BuelOw

Rome. April 25.-(via Paris.)-Thc press, politicians and the public arc discussing with the most lively inter est the plan for Austro-ltalfan agreement reported to have been pre- scented by the German ambassador. Prince Von BueIow, in the original ne- gotiations on this subject. This plan, as set forth by the socialist organ. Avnnti, which favers neutrality. pro- vides among other things for recoe- ntion of the reciprocal interests of Itnly and Austria in preserving the triple alliance and for territorial con- sessions by Austria.
 Criticism of any such agreement is widespread. on the ground that the concessions Italy would receive are not set forth with sufficient clearness. The opinion is expected that so long as Aus tria retains her present territory on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, with Pola, Cattaro and the 6oa Dalmatian islands which some naval experts have com pared to 500 dreadnaughts-it will be impossible to reach a settlement. This view is expressed by one well known commentator in this manner:
 A Strategic Menace
 such settlement would leave in the hands of Austria all the points which constitute grave menace strategically to Italy. If Austria really is willing to cede the territories inhabited principal ly by Italians she must yield not only the province of Trent but Pola, Plume and the greater part of Dalmatia. This evidently is not Austra's intention Austria obviously is having recourse to petty expedients to gain time hoping unforeseen events will make possible a solution more satisfactory than one based on concessions of the Italian de. mands in their entirety"
 The Corriere Della Sera says that the Austro- Italian problem cannot be solved by resorting to trivial expedients, but demands solution which would effect an expansion of Italian territory along racial lines and would guarantee to Italy the means of satifactory maritime uelenSe.
 This newspaper says that Italys re- lations with the Slavs and other ques- tions arising from the new situation in the Mediterranean should be left to fu- ture settlement by international agree ment.
 Urge Neutrality
 Milan, Italy, April 25.-(via Paris. Opposition to Italy's participation in the war is expressed by Deputy Filippo Turati of Milan. socialist leader, in letter published here today. Signor Turatis letter is regarded as an in dication of the attitude of Italian so- cialists. Sgnor Turati writes:
 Italian socialists have the strongest sympathy for the allies. feeling that the violation of the treaties designed to pro tect Belgium has presented common peril, and cordially desire an Anglo French victory
 Sympathy thus aroused may properly stir the nation to exercise it's moral in- huence to take diplomatic action. and may lead even to the formation of vol

Insomnia Relieved.

No one should toss and turn sleep
lessly half the night IL he has no men
tai worries or physical ailments.
Going to bed with the stomach empty
is more harmful than having it over
loaded with food, although that, of
course, should also be avoided. Crack
ers and milk or a glass of hot milk is
excellent, and elderly persons may be
given arrowroot with a little sherry
in 1t.
Plenty of sleep, restful sleep, is nee
essary, absolutely necessary, to good
looks, and all beauty sleep must be
taken, remember, before midnight.
Stand erect before an open window
and inhale, hold the breath, stretch out
the arms horizontally, then exhale. Do
this a few times before going to bed.
