.|TA[Y|S UPON EVE
Of DECISIVE STAND
Striking Incidents Believed to
Forecast Greater Events
for Kingdom.
PREMIER IN CONFERENCE
WITH FOREIGN MINISTER
Salandra's Visit to Gaeta Is Signal
for Several Patriotic
0utbursts.

ROME. March 9-Premier Salandra,
after his visit Sunday to Gaeta to In
augurate a new military harbor, a
journey during which very consid-
cradle degree of national feeling was
manifested, had long interview with
Foreign Minister Sonnino Monday.
Last night the council of ministers
were in session. These facts. together
with other indications, lead to the
widespread belief that Italy today is
upon the eve of great and decisive events.
One of the premiers remarks at
Gaeta is attracting considerable atten-
oitn. Referring to the kind of brown
bread allowed in Italy after March 22,
Signor Salandra said:
This is a noble bread. Our soldiers
will be the first to be sacrificed. and
Italians will see the destiny of their
country accomplished"
Ceremony at Gaeta.
The ceremony at Gaeta, which an Of
fetal report said was of local character.
was attended by senators and deputies
Gen. Nora, representing the army and
navy, thanked the premier for being
present and concluded with the words:
"If the leaders tell US to stay we will
stay; if they tell us to march we will
march. always and everywhere In the
name of the King of Italy.
These words created such enthusiasm
that Premier Salandra rose and en-
braced the general. whereupon the en-
thusiasm was increased. The premier
in a reply to Gen. Morras remarks s
said that although it might be with
anguish all Italians would do their
duty with Gods help, under the king 8
orders, for the glory of the fatherland.
Interpretation of Words.
Many of those present expressed the
opinion that the words with anguish"
meant that negotiations to have the
Italian national aspirations satisfied
and the country's rights recognized
had failed, and that thus there must
be recourse to other means to attain
the object. Premier Salandra received
an ovation.
The enthusiasm reached it's climax
when Mgr Niola. Archbishop Of
Gaeta, while they were in the cathedral,
waved before the premier the sacred
flag of the Venetian fleet, which IN
1871 triumphed over the Turks at
Lepanto.
The return of the premier to Rome
was a triumphal procession. the crowds
acclaiming him at each station. At Cessa
one person cried viva neutrality" The
premier leaned from the window of his
with me. Viva Italy,"
This brought an outburst of ap-
plause.
Tension Reported Relaxed.
BERLIN, via London, March 9.-It is
announced in diplomatic quarters that a
decided relaxation Of tension in the
Austro-Italian situation is noticeable
This is attributable probably to the initi-
alton Of direct negotiations between the
two countries in response to the Austrian
overtures.
How far the negotiations have pro-
gressed and whether tangible results
have been obtained has not been learned,
but it is believed improbable in diplomatic
circles that any decisive result has been
reached

SOCIAL CENTER SCHOOLS

Question of Extra Compensation
Where Night Meetings Are
Held Is Raised.

AS a result of the opening of school
buildings in Washington as social CEN
ters, as allowed in the bill recently
passed by Congress. janitors of the
schools probably will ask that some
provision be made for paying them for
their extra services or that their sal
aries be increased. The board of edu-
cation expects to take up this matter.

That the use of the buildings be SO
regulated as to allow the janitors free
range of them on Saturday. the "big
cleanup" day of the week. has al
ready been made by committee Of the
Janitors' Association of Hugh F. Nc
Queeny, superintendent of janitors. Mr..
McQueeny referred the committee to
Supt Ernest L. Thurston.
1t is pointed out that in many Of the
buildings the janitors have to be pres
ent as early as 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. When meetings are held in the
buildings at night, therefore. closing at
10 or IL o'clock, it gives the janitor
but little time for sleep.
1t is proposed by the janitors that a
time for closing the meetings be set
This, as well as other regulations, will
be taken up by the hoard, as stated.
Further than this, it is probable that
for use at night. inasmuch as many
have no lighting arrangement; also.
that no building is likely to be used
every night in the week.
Janitors' Rate of P&y.
The scale Of wages for janitors at
present Is as follows: eight-room
buildings, $50 a month; twelve-room
buildings, $50 a month; sixteen-room
buildings. $40 a month, and for high
schools. SIS a month.
The school system has a few engi-
neers who receive higher pay than
this The scale given is for the jani-
tors in charge and not their ass istants,
who, of course, receive less.
1t Is possible that until the board of
education is able to take action lookin I,
toward increasing the wages af lani-
tors-which would be next fall at the
earliest-some provision may be made
whereby the organizations using the
buildings would pay for his extra
services. Likewise, it is possible that
similar provision may have to be made
for the use of the lights in the build
ing.
