TERMS OF PACT BY
 AUSTRIA AND ITALY

Rome, April 23-What purports to be stipu1ations on which an agree nent between Italy and Austria was originally proposed are printed by the Avantte. the organ of the Intran- sigent Socialists favoring neutrality, which gives as it's authority an un named former minister who said he participated in the original negotia- tions with Prince Von Buelow, the German anba assador.
 The following. are said to have been substantially the provisions of the agreement suggested:

WAR OFFICES ANNEX
 IN PEACEFUL SECTION

London, April 28--AIong the peace full green slopes of St. James Park, which marks the center of fashionable life in London, there have sprung up almost over night host of temporary buildings, to be used as an emergency extension of the War Office. They will house 3, staff of a thousand clerks. representing the Accounting depart ment.
 So rapidly has the work of this sec ton of the government grown that the huge War Building in Whitehall is badly overcrowded. Early in the war an extra story was built up on the roof to house part of the emergency staff.
 The new buildings in the Park are not jerry-built. although they have the appearance of mere shacks. They are so1idIy constructed, with founda- ton walls of brick four feet high, con- crete floors. and walls of carefully se- lected timber, asbestos lined The buildings are only temporary, of course, but provision was made. when they were planned. for war that might last several years.

Must Send Hostlers Back

London. April 2s-The Board of Trade has taken vigorous steps to prevent the abandonmentSi in England by steamship companies of American muIeteefs and horse tenders. who. are coming over now in large numbers with the shipments zpf army horses .sz Daring 1ssontfIss Of the war h11ndreds sof Americans who crossed on the horse boats were left stranded in England by the steamship lines, which advanced various debatable reasons for not returning the men to America R. P Skinner, American Consul Gen. in London, laid the facts
 before the Board Of Trade a, month
 ago. The Consulate was at once ad- yised to refer all stranded horse and
 mule tenders to the board, with the result that all such Americans are be- ing cared for. F'urthermore, MT
 Skinner has been advised that Brit ish steamship lines have been ira- l structed to provide return passages to America, regardless of alleged con- tracts and other mooted question.

Deputy Porzio, Advocate Catapano re- piled: "It cannot. be said that the case has been taken from him, the Deputy is very much occupied and gave it up voluntarily, as he could not devote suf- hcient time to it and it is quite possi- ble that he may deliver the final harangue. It has been said that the Charlton family were much disgusted at the time wasted over the time-tak- ing of the testimony in America, and that Deputy Porzio, as a member of Parliament, did not hurry up matters as he might have done, but this is not so, as the fault lies entirely in our procedure; an enormous fault when one considers that it took almost a year to consider the first normal legal inquiries.
 The counsel for the defense will be two, Avvacato Cattaneo of Como and myself. Avvocato Palmieri of New York. who is cognfzant of everything, will come to Italy for the trial.
 HI expect that the trial will be short especially as all the testimony for the defense will be read, while only a few people of McItrasio, where the murder took place, will be heard, so that time will only be consumed hearing the wit ness, Captain Scott, brother of the victim, and in the discussion of the ex- perts on sanity and in my address to the jury.'

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
 RESENT BEATS FOR
 AMERICAN REPORTERS


 London, April 23.@The Globe ex- presses alarm and regret at the free dom with which British statesmen and leaders are granting interviews to American and French newspa pers I've have already commented" urges the Globe. Ion the extent to which foreign Journalists are favored, at the expense of the British press by our soldiers and politicians. The aues- ton is not merely Of interest in news paper offices. but has a certain nation al Importance.
 If the policy of the Press Bureau stiles frankness where it is called for it might at least be expected that such a prohibition would be uniform, and that an article which the Censor inn agines helpful to the enemy if it ap- pears ln an English paper will have no less sinister influence if printed in Paris. or New York
 It appears, however, that scounse1s of rettcence which are binding when dealing with the English press may be relaxed when the speaker is taking for publication abroad, with the re7 suit they are cabled back again to tIis country Thisfts at best an iIlogfca1 and undignified state of affaira. ',7".

FLOUR IN TURKEY IS CHEAPER THAN
 IN ALL EUROPE

Athens, April 22.-Flour in Turkey is at present much cheaper than in any of the other countries of Europe. This fact is due to the large stores of grain wisely accumulated in the gov ernment stores. Turkeys last har- vest was estimated as worth $25O,- GOO, 900. of which the government is said to have obtained four-fifths.
 It is reported that there are heavy losses to the government supplies from rotting, but there appears to be no reason to expect that the stock on hand will not last until the next ElaF- vest.
 The next harvest. however. will be 8 small one, owing to the scanty sow mgs, and many experts prophesy that the result will certainly be a general famine in Turkey next autumn.

PORTER CHARLTO
 WON'T TRIAL
 FOR MANY MONTHS
Examination of Witnesses in America Cause of Big
 Delay.

Rome. Italy, April 23-AIthough July next will mark the elapse of five years since Porter Charlton was ar rested on the charge of murdering his wife in Italy, the case, it is learned. will not come to trial before autumn, if by then.
 His counsel, Avvocato Catapano. recently discusslfg the present de lay. said:
 There are two reasons for the de- lay, the examination of the wit nesses in Am erica, and the observa- tions which are being taken of the prisoners mental condition, at the asylum for the insane at Como.
 tAs Charlton had not the means to bring over any of his witnesses for the trial they all had to have their testimony taken at home, which was a. complicated process, conducted through the Departments of Justice and Foreign Affairs both Italian and American. If that had not been done there would have been the pro- babi1ity of his being Judged at the Assizes without one witness for the defense present.
 Instead. the testimony of the four teen witnesses in the United States will be read. the testimony. being of assumed, which is the total irrespon- sibility of the accuseds The inves- tigations cannot be closed and there fore be made public until the experi- ments to establish whether Charlton is insane have been given in May. Thus in June or at the latest in July, the decision will be given out, so that the trial can come on in the early autumn Avvocato .Catapano, how ever said that this was not at all .surei as should Italy be at war the trial would scarcely take place.
 You see,'' he continued, t4Cono is a frontier town, and in case of war even the courts of justice wil be upset. Charlton knows this and has not shown any great concern. He seems to be resigned to his position and thinks he will ultimately be released, meanwhile he is allowed all the phys ical exercise, to which he is so greatly attached, that he desires.

SHIPOWNERS MAKE BIG
 PROFITS THROUGH WAR

London, April 2s.-Several large English ship-owners are piling up profits at the rate of $500 900 or over month, and one firm at least is re- ported to have averaged practically a million dollars a month since the be- ginning of the war.
 It is, of course, only those who have had their ships free who have been able to make money. Some owners had their vessels tied up by charters at normal figures and others had their ships taken by the Government. Then all the shipowners have had to bear increased expenditures for wages, fuel, insurance and delays in port.
 The people who are really making the money, according to a London shipping Journal, are the Greek ship owners. For the last few years it explains, tttne Greeks have been stead fly buying ships, and they now have very considerable merchant marine. They can take full advantage of the high rates, and do not have to face the risks British shippers do, nor pay the extra wages
