ITALY'S STATESMEN NOT
 WILLING TO. ENTER WAR
Till Every Peaceful Means of Obtaining Peoples Desire
 Has Been Exhausted.

Rome, April ', $40 p. m. via Paris, April s, $50 a. m.-ltaly's failure to enter the war up to the present time is explained in official circles as due to the fact that the country's states men do not wish to plunge the na- tion into the enormous risks of war without first exhausting every possi- ble means of obtaining what the people desire without recourse to arms. It is pointed out that in the mean time Italy is gaining every day in military strength and in economic re- sources.
 Official reports received here from European capitals are said to agree in the statement that the supreme clash between the allies on one side and the. Austro-German armies on the other, which originally seemed certain to take place in May will be postponed until June or even later The answers made to those who are urging immediate 'hostilities is that in the circumstances there is no reason why Italy should hasten her action, since the longer she delays the greater would be her chances of success and the greater the aid she would be able to give those countries on whose side she would align herself.
 No attempt is made to deny that a war against Austria would be popular. In this connection it is pointed out that the Italian army has been suc- cessfully mobilized without protest from Austria, the country most ob- viously threatened. This is taken in some yquarters to indicate that the leaders of the dual monarchy are de- sirious of averting hostilities and that they may yet consent to make the territorial concessions Italy desires.

EXHIBITS FOR TRADE
 WEEK ARE ANNOUNCED
Manufacturers Interested in Permanent Display of
 Products.

X permanent manufacturers exhibit will in all probability be established as a result of the Made in New Brit ain Week to begin Monday, April 12. Interest in such an exhibit has been stimulated to such an extent that sen- timent is strong on the part of the manufacturers in favor of the plan.
 The manner in which the merchants and manufacturers have taken hold of the Made in New Britain Week preparations has assured success for the Mercantile bureaus plans. It is expected that twenty-five manufact- urers will have exhibits in the stores. Arrangements have already been made for ten exhibits, which will be placed as follows: Z American Hosiery, at Besse-Leland; Beaton & Caldwell, at Peter Crona. 1. Corbin Cabinet Lock, at Crowell's Drug store; Fafnir Bearing Co. nt United Electric company; National Spring Bed Co, at B. C. Porter Sons; N. B. Stamp Works. at NJ. c. Levitt: Parker Shirt Co. at Besse-Lelana; {; Stanley Rule & Level Co, at H L. Mills; Hart & Cooley Co, at J. O. Mills; Junter Brush Co, at Dickin :. sons Drug Co. s.. ..
 The Chamber of Commerce is doing considerable advertising for the af- fair in outlying towns, which will be supplemented by the advertisements of the merchants of the city. Special electrical displays are being arranged and the theaters will have good bills for the benefit of the visitors.
 The permanent manufacturers eN- hibit, when it becomes a fact, will be open to the public at all times and will be an extension of the exhibits to be made next week. The object is partly educational and partly to stim ulate civic pride and advertise the products of New Britain's industries.

YACHT OF PRESIDENT , GONZALES WRECKED
Chief Executive of Costa Rica Has Narrow Escape From Drowning
 in Caribbean Sea,

San Jose, Costa Rica, April S.-Al- fredo Gonzales, president of Costa Rica, had a narrow escape from drowning when the presidential yacht was wrecked in the Caribbean sea three days ago. He and the mem bers of his party swam ashore through heavy surf.
 The president, accom- mpanied by the members of his cabinet, group of government officials and several con- gressmen went on the government yacht to the Talamanca region, en the Atlantic coast. On their way back to Port Limon, a heavy mortimer struck the yacht and she was driven ashore on the rocks. The passen- gers and crew had to take to the water. They were all successful in getting safely to dry land, but found the point where they made shore to be absolutely isolated. It took the shipwrecked party two days, during which time they were without food or shelter, to walk to the nearest point on the railroad from which they could get back to the capital. They came into San Jose today.
 The recital of the dangers to which President Gonzales was subjected made 8 deep impression on his country men, and he was given a rousing re- ception as he drove through tho streets of the city. . .,...e.

REACH NO DECISION
 ON DRINK QUESTION
British Cabinet Fails to Solve Prob Iem-No Settlement Expected
 Till Parliament Meets.

London. April 8. 12:16 D. m.-The cabinet having failed to come to a decision on the drink question, no settlement is expected until parlia- ment meets next week. The impress sion is growing that the government will content itself with bringing in measure prohibiting the sale of spirits. Even this step will not be exclusively a government policy. since nothing can be done without consaiJaiion with other parties
 The conservative leaders, A. J. Bal four and Andrew Bonar Law. are be- leved already to have given privately their assent to whatever ac;Ion may he taken, provided no measure for total prohibition be considered at this time.
 In proposing the prohibition of the sale of spirits and possibly wine and lessening the strength or peer. Great Britain would be following the foot steps of Russia, which before the adoption of total prohibition forbade the manufacture or use of spirits.
 Even the prohibition of traffic in spirits is not likely to be adopted without considerable opposition from the vested interests. The influence of the party favoring voluntary ab- stinence is growing. Its latest re- cruits include the heads of various churches, who have signed a pledge to abstain from intoxicating liquors during the war.
 Opposition to the suppression of the use of spirits is in some degree sec tional, since Scotland consumes per capita three times as much spirits as England, and half again as much as Ireland. Scottish opposition, if solid. might easily cause the defeat of the measure.

FIFTY YEARS IN MINISTRY.
Paper by Rev. J. F. Adams Read at
 Methodist Conference.

New York, April S.-Tne New York East Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church today adopted a resolution expressing its belief that "equaI suffrage is in the logic of the democratic to which our nation is committed" and the hope that at the November election in New York state the proposed amendment to the state constitution granting suffrage to women will find the hosts of Methodism solidly lined up in it's favor"
 The conference today listened to the semi-centennial papers of four members of the conference who have been for fifty years in the Methodist ministry-the Revs. John F. Adams. New Britain, Conn.,; w. w. Bowdish. Brooklyn, and T. N. Laine and s. k. Smith, retired.

MORE CONSIDERATION FOR
 ALIEN WOVEN AND GIRLS
Arrested or Detained By Im- migration Authorities at
 American Ports.

Washington, April S.-Greater con- sideration is to be shown in the fu- ture to alien women and girls who have been arrested or detained by inn migration authorities under amend ments to the immigration rules which have just been approved by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 Hereafter those detained or ar rested upon their arrival in this coun- try will be placed under the super vision of special female officers, who will see to it that they are properly cared for in the immigration stations or in philanthropic or other similar organizations. Only in case of abso- lute necessity shall detained women similar places.
 Tt being the purpose of this spe- cial procedure to humanize the ad- ministration of the law" says the bureau of immigration, ''it is inn portant that the cases of women and girls snall be handled in particularly considerate and careful manner, not only while the aliens are being de- tained in this country, but in the event of deportation, after they ar rive in the country of their nativity or at the port where they originally embarked for the United States
 The bureau has made arrangements to notify women's organizations in Europe and elsewhere of all facts and circumstances of all cases so that in case aliens are deported assistance may be rendered them when they reach their native country.

BERLIN PRESS SCORES
 BRITISH ADMIRALTY
For Not Making Public Details o1 Sinking of Submarine U-29
 May Be "Reprehensiblc.'

Berlin, via London, April $, 1l:lo a. m.-The press of the capital IS virtually unanimous in declaring the fact that the British admiralty has not made public the details of the sinking of the submarine U-29 looks highly suspicious The Tages lei- tung says that although the British made their first report regarding the submarine on March 26, nothing has been given out as to the time, place or manner of it's sinking. The paper believes this probably is because the methods employed by the British were "reprehensible," and adds:
 "We can imagine no other reason for this delay than that British yes sels surprised the U-29 while it was rescuing the crew of steamer"
 Other papers make similar sugges- tions incuding the surmise that the submarine was sunk by q merchant man flying @ neutral flag.
