ITALY WILL KEEP
OUT BUT TAKING
NO CHANCES
Negotiations With Austria Still in
Progress
CRITICISM OF INTERVIEW
Senator Dandrea Talked Too Soon
of His Conference With Prince
Won BueloW.
CRITICISM OF INTERVIEW

Rome, April Negotiations be-
tween Italy and Austria are still pro
oeeding. but nevertheless the Italian
government is taking all precautions
for defense There was a meeting of
the cabinet this morning and this af-
ternoon conference lasting three
hours took place between Premier
Salandra, Foreign Minister Sonnino
and Minister of War zupelli The
conference was regarded as of the
highest importance.
Former Premier Giolitti said today
he did not consider the negotiations
between Italy and Austria have fail
ed and therefore does not believe It
aly's Intervention in the war is i'm
minent Signor Gioletti is generally
called pro-German.
There is storm OF criticism over
the interview with Senator Ricardo
Carafa Dandria, an intimate friend
of Prince Won Buelow, the German
ambassador printed in the Messag-
ero. IL seems that Prince Won Buel-
ow intrusted Senator Carafa Dandria
with message TO the premier, warn
ing him that Germany would defend
Austria in case of Italian Intervention
Premier Salandra was quoted as hay-
ing said in reply that aimpelIed by
the paramount interests of our
country. we will proceed with our
our duty against all our antagonists. ="
An official statement was issued de
nying that the premier had made
ANY concrete statement of any
kind" The senator is blamed for
diyulging the nature of his mission
TO the premier as this proved that
Prince Won Buelow was not on friend
ly terms with the italian govern
menI.
In an interview in the Tribuna to-
day Senator Carafa Dendria admitted
he had made efforts TO avert war be-
tween Italy and Austria. He praised
Prince Won Buelow's friendship for
Italy and emphasized his sorrow that
there had been a coolness in the rela
tions between Italy and Germany.
He did not, however, give any reas-
ons why he had not kept his visit to
the premier secret The senator's
protestations of patriotism are con
tradieted by the fact that autograph
ed photographs of the Kaiser are dis
played ostentatiously in his resi-.
dence.
The German embassy denies the re
port that Prince Won Buelow has sold
his villa 1t did not deny, however.
that the Princes horses and dogs
were shipped to Berlin this morning.

WILSON ADDRESS
WINS NO FRIENDS
IN GERMANY
CynicaIIy Scored BY Newspapers
in Kaiser'S Realm
OUR iNEUTaALIiY QUESTIONED
Presidents Offer to Assist in Adjust
ment at Close of War Meets
With No Favor.

Berlin, April Accommodating on the
address of President Wilson at the
luncheon of the Associated Press in
New York on Tuesday, the Vossiche
Zeitung speaks as follows: we
could believe in the inclination of the
United States after the war to play
the role to which President Wilson re
fers, namely to prepare assistance
for both belligerent parties, II Am
orleans during the war had acted in
accordance with the principle OF as
sistance to neither side. The purvey-
ors of the arms and ammunition to
adversaries, cannot, all of sudden,
pretend to be the impartial friend of
all belligerents in the negotiations at
the conclusion of the war"
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger says:
President Wilson is nightly mistak
en- if he imagines his sort of neutral
ity will be acknowledged and valued
by the bellgerents as fair play. 1t is
impossible for Germany and her al
lies TO esteem as sign of self-con-
troll onesided patronage by the con-
tinuation of a most extensive supply
or arms, combined with humble en-
durance of all English oppression of
neutral commerce. So far as Ger
many is concerned, President Wilson
need not trouble about preparations
after the war"
The Cologne Gazette says: CAS- a
philosophical and academic thesis,
President Wilson's views may have
value, but in the light of the sanguin-
any experience through which Europe
is passing they sound almost like
mockery. At least in Germany this
is the reception that win be given
the promise that after the war Ameri
ca will lend her support to both bel
ligerents. after supporting Great Brit
ain and her allies during the war it.
self with cannon and rifles and this
so effectively that public opinion in
Germany is accustomed to see in Am
erica an ally of our enemies"
The ideas expressed by President
Wilson and referred to in their COM
ment by these German newspapers
doubtless are found in the following
paragraph: Let us think of America
before we think of Europe, in order
that America may be fit to be Eur
ope's friend when the day of tested
friendship comes. The test of friend
ship is not now sympathy with one
side or the other, but getting ready
to help both sides when the struggle
is over.

Titcomb stating that an investigation

the commissioner in the project.
Any farmer in this vicinity who be-
lieves that he has plot Of land
with the water supply that would be
necessary for the hatchery is re-
quested to communicate with Mr..
Carpenter.
The commissioner has written Z.
S. Casselman of Dorset, who is an ex-
pert fish culturist, requesting him to
make an advance report on available
sites.
The trout fry which were received
some time ago from the state hat
cherry are making fine progress in
the tanks of the local association
which have been installed in H. P.

JEWS ARE STARVING
In Poland They Suffer Worse Than
Others

London, April 22-Seven million
Poles, of whom 100000 are Jews.
are in dire need of food. This state
ment was made today by Hermann
Laundau, a prominent Jewish philan
thropist associated with various Jew
ish charities in London
"Of these sufferers 100000 are
east OF the Vistula river and 1.500,
600 west of the river" Mr.. Landau
said, THE Jews are even poorer
than the Gentiles, because of the boy
cot against the Jews in parts of Pol
and before the beginning of the war,
which impoverished thousands who
would otherwise been able to
provide for their families
Political and religious prejudice
against the Jews also renders their
condition worse than that of the
Catholics. In parts of Poland evacu-
ated by the Germans many Jews are
living on potato peels and garbage
left by the army. The Catholic pop
uation has been able to fee beyond
Warsaw in much larger number than
the Jews.

Brattleboro, April 22.-News has
reached here that the selectmen of
the towns of Peru and Winhall have

THE WINTER CIRCUS
Remarkable Performances by Train.
ed Animals at the Opera House /.

Lukens winter circus last evening
opened a three-night's engagement
at the opera house with an attend
ance far below the merits of the en-
tertainment. Many of the stunts"
of the performing animals were not
only decidedly original but were res
markable demonstrations of what
can be accomplished with dumb
beasts by thorough teaching,
The group of bears constituted the
best feature of the program. The
animals not only went through some
of the usual acts of performing ami
mails, but carried out such difficult
feats as walking on ball, skating on
roller skates and giving an imitation
of drinking bout in which the bears
apparently reached state of joyful
intoxication.
The bareback riding on the ponies
by the dogs was another excellent
entertainment and the trapeze work
and the slack wire walking presented
considerable that was new to Ben
nington people.

London, April 22-Several signs OF
new activity in the North Sea ap'
peared today. 1t was announced that
today on all steamship communi-

perhaps more. is believed to fore
shadow some important movement.
Word was also sent to foreign Con

approaching ships.
Reports from Copenhagen told OF
the presence of an Anglo-French
feet off the lower coast of Norway
