There is much anxiety concerning

the Tiber near the SAINT Angelo bridge
which is showing several cracks. This
embankment is closed to the public

Many cattle have been drowned, but
up to the present time there has been

The embaiIkment near the military
college which was still in course OF
construction, collapsed this afternoon.
Rome, Feb. Is, l:55 p. m.-The flood
waters in the streets around st. Pet.
ers have risen TO height Of four
feet and II inches. Several walls have
collapsed but without serious ccnse-

Information from the upper reaches |
of the Tiber indicate a further rise in |
the flood waters of few inches after
which, unless there should come more |
rain, the waters undoubtedly will be-
gin to go down.
In the lowlying quarters the people
have been driven from their homes or
are prisoners in the upper stories OF
their houses. The military authori-

aid in rescue work and to provide
food to sufferers cut of from supplies.
In Rome the river Tiber Is more than
so feet out of its normal banks and
is rising at the rate OF inches an
hour. The one bright spot in the sit

showed signs of Gearing and this
gives hope that the waters will soon
recede.

Shall the lesson be forgotten; the
sacrifice lost?
That question the belligerent ma
tons only will have the power to
answer; but every one in the world
will be entitled to be heard upon 1t,
for 1t will be a question OF civiliza-
ton, the most momentous Of our era.
1t seems incredible that after this
the stricken people will set their
feet in the same old paths of policy
and suspicion which must lead them
again to the same result.
Finding expression through a great
multitude Of voices everywhere the
general public opinion of mankind
should influence the minds of the
negotiators who settle the terms OF
peace and inspire them to a new de-
parture In the establishment of JUS
tice as the rule Of international re-
lations. a.
While We must not be overconfi.
dent of our individual qualifications
to point out the detailed methods
through which the result may be &C
complished We may still advocate
measures which seem practicable
and appropriate to the purpose.
We can see that definite rules OF
national conduct should be agreed
upon; that a court of competent
Jurisdiction should be established to
Judge OF national conformity to those
rules; and that new sanctions should
be provided to compel respect fol
the judgments rendered.
Above all the motive and spirit o.
the new institutions should be clear
ly and fully, not the promotion OF am
bition or the extension of power. bu
the safeguarding Of human rights an'
the perfection of individual liberty
Toward this high end the courage
and hope and conviction OF the hum

YOUNG Mother Wants
SUPPORT FOR Child

Judge Churchman spent consider
able time in City Court today inQuir-
ing into the circumstances surround
ing a non-support charge brought
against Charles Siszka by Mary krel.
Mary desires support for a two
months-old child. Siszka does not
deny that he is the father of the
child but displayed a release from all
claims which he secured from the
Young woman. He declared that he
paid 500 for the release.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn de-
clared that the giving of such re-
lease should not be countenanced by
the court He stated that as Mary
was only 19 years of age she could not
legally give such a release. Il was
claimed by j Frank Ball, counsel for
Sszka. that the girl was at least %
years of age and he produced several
witnesses TO prove her age.
In order that all doubt as TO the
age of Mary can be cleared up the
case was continued for week Mr.

brought by Mary against Siszka hac
been dismissed by the late Magistrat,
Buckley.

.DUPONTS must SUBMIT
Formulas OR DROP SUIT

Judge Mcpherson, in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in
Philadelphia yesterday. decided that
the DUPONT Powder Company's trade
secrets which it is charged Walter
T. Masland is about to use in his
private business. must be disclosed
to experts. so that II can be deter
mined whether they really are secrets.
Masland was formerly in the employ
OF the 2. |. DUPONT de Nemours Pow
der Company and the DUPONT Fabri-
koid Company as a chemist, and in
1912 was placed in charge Of expert
mental work Of making artificial
leather. When he left the companies
TO engage in business for himself his
former employers began suit 10 pre-
vent him from using secrets learned
while working for them.
Masland. through Attorney George
Quintard Horwitz. filed an answer de-
nying that he contemplated using the
secret processes or private methods
OF the corporations, and challenging
their assertion that the means he in
tended to adopt for the manufacture
OF artificial leather were known only
to them. and were their private prop
erty. Masland maintained that the
methods he purposed using we're com
mon usage in the trade. and that he
too. had a right to employ them.
The companies objected to having
the dispute formulas submitted to ex-
/ perts TO determine whether the,
were secrets. but. under the order
/ Of Judge Mcpherson. they will hav,
! the option of consenting TO having the
matter laid before experts or with
drawing their suit.
