Major j. B. Merkln, q temperance

DENY ITALIAN CLAIMS.
Berlin Declares False Reasons Havs
Been Given For War Declaration.


Berlin, by wireless to Sayville. May
22-The Overseas News Agency today
gave out the following:
"The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zei-
tung, giving a history of the Italian
crisis, says that Italy's reason for par
ticipating in the war is not, as pretend
ed, because Austro-Hungary attacked
Serbia, Italy demanded compensation
on the grounds that the triple alliance
pledged concessions In case Of q change
Of the balance of power in the Balkans.
"Austro- Hungary accepted the Ital-
ian contention and conceded the claims
Suddenly, on May 4, Italy advanced
the pretense that the triple alliance
had been broken by Austria, thus con-
tradicting her own statements. which
formed the basis for the negotiations.
On May 10, .Austro- Hungary offered
still larger ompensation. which the
German chancellor, DR.. Bethmann-
Hollweg. announced on May 1S, in the
reichstag.
This newspaper concludes:
'If Italy takes up arms against the
Teutonic allies it will be for the pur-
pose Of obtaining by breach sof faith
what could have been obtained without
bloodshed."
Berlin newspapers refer to para
graph in the Italian premier's state
ment, which said Italy. after May l..
could not remain isolated.
The Italian socialist paper, valanti,
repeats the declaration that a majority
Of the Italians are against war. 1t re-
ports that soldiers have publicly pro-
tested against going to war.

Walsh referred to the deportation OF

Did you demonstrate with your Of
fcers for condoling and sympathizing
with this violRtf6n Of constitutional
rights?' demanded Walsh.

lations of the constitution"
Mr. Walsh asked II Mr.. Rockefelled
would have punished officials for such
conduct had he known OF it.
Mr.. Rockefeller said in such case
he would have taken such steps as he
considered proper and expedient.
Walsh asked il the witness did not
think Sheriff Farr's deputies were a
menace to the peace Of the community
and to the American government"
Il can not tell whether they were
more of a menace than failure" was
the answer.

the commission was considering rec
concentrations Of law in this respect.
