+. H. Abbott Tells Something of Great Project Under Way in Washing
 ton County

Montgomery, May 22-tSpecial. .)-One of the largest immigration projects ever car ried out in the south has just been Montgomery last night. says the Mont gomery Advertiser.
 F. H, Abbott of Washington, D. C.. for merly commissioner of Indian affairs in the Taft administration, has charge of the work. MT. Abbott passed through Mont gomery from New York last night on his way to Fairford Washington county, where an immense acreage has been taken up to carry out the plan. To a representative of The Advertiser in Washington several weeks ago MT. Abbott said the project was ready to launch and that announcement would be made of it mtted that the company had been or sanized. the land taken over and that all that remained was working out the details of the big endeavor
 The corporation that has taken over the land is made up of Chicago and New York capitalists who have been quietly looking over the south for some months for the most suitable place to form ex- tensive colonies of farmers. They finally selected 5000 acres of land around Fairford. Washington county. MT. Abbott will spend today and tomorrow going over this property. He expects to come to Montgomery next Monday for a short stay. After a brief trip back north he will return to Alabama to assume ac- tive management in carrying out the plan for bringing hundreds of farmers into this state.
 The general plan provides for setting side at once about 10000 acres for north- ern and western farmers. This land will be put in shape for immediate cultivation with such conveniences as will attract good homes and start to work without delay. The farming tracts In this 1000 acres will be sold on longtime payments and on easy terms. In this way the new corners can pay for the land with the money they make from their crop and live stock.
 It is possible that the corporation will take large section of the land and de- velop it for it's own use. The devel- opment will be through the growing of alfalfa and other legumes, grain crops and the raising of cattle.
 All of the details of the work will be planned within the next couple of weeks and the corporation will begin bringing down northern and western farmers.
 Mr. Abbott was met last night by clem- ent S. Ucker of the Southern Settlement and Development Organization of Balti- more MT. Ucker. one of the best known immigration authorities in the United States, was here attending the meeting of the secretaries of the Southern Cham bcrs of Commerce. Mir. Abbott invited him to go to Washington county and look over the property with him and MT. ticker accepted the invitation

ITALY'S ATTITUDE A PAINFUL SURPRISE"
 DECLARES AUSTRIA

 gary as a fragrant violation, both in let ter and spirit, of the alliance and treaty."
 The cabinets of Vienna and Berlin even though deploring 1taly's resolution to re- main neutral, a resolution which in "our view was hardly compatible with spirit of the treaty, nevertheless Loyalty admitted the view of the Italian goverpment, and an exchange of views wr..,n then took place established unaltered the main tenance of the triple alliance.
 Under article of the treaty Italy pre- sented claims which aimed at securing certain compensations in the event of Austria Hungary obtaining advantages from the war, territorial or otherwise, in the Balkan peninsula
 Austria Hungary accepted this stand point and declared herself ready to sub init the question to examination. at the same time pointing out that so long as the eventual advantages accorded to Austria Hungary remained unknown 1t would be difficult to fix such compensa- tons
 Baron Burian Von Rajecz contended that Italy shared this view as was shown In the declaration made by the late Mar quis D San Giuliano, dated August % last year. in which the then Italian foreign minister said that ''it would be prema- : ture to speak of compensations.'
 Nevertheless. Baron Won Burian con tinues, Austria Hungary always has been ready to begin conversat tions on the sub ject and when Italy made her demands Austria Hungary accepted even this as I basis for negotiations, although in it's opinion Article VII of the treaty never referred to the territory of the treaty bound parties. but related purely and simply to the Balkan peninsula
 While 1t was impossible to accede to all the demands Austria Hungary with a sincere desire to reach an understand ing. made sacrifices which were only Justified by "a desire to uphold the al liance existing for so many years to the common advantage of both countries" Replying to Italian objection that the concessions offered by Austria Hungary were only to be realized at an indefinite time. namely at the end of the war Baron Burian says that Austria Hungary was ready to offer all necessary guaran- tees to prepare for this transfer and in sure its even being carried out at nc distant date.
 ',The royal Italian government. in al arbitrary manner, has disburdened itsel of all its obligations. and the Austro Hungarian government declines responsi blity for all the consequences that may arise from this procedure"

States find in the future that the Chino- Japanese treaty conhicted with its rights.
 It is understood that another power has intimated to China that on account of the disturbed conditions brought about by the European war it would be wise not to irritste or alarm Japan by broaching the subject of Americas memorandum before the conclusion of the treaty negotiations.
 The delay in drafting the treaty is said to have been due to the fact that the Japanese representatives wished to depart from the terms of the Japanese ulti- matum which China accepted. The Jap anese however, are now showing willing ness to revert to the first requirements of the ultimatum and the Chinese expect that the treaty will be signed on Tues day next There probably will be secret articles but it is stated on good authority that these will not be of importance.
