Italy Places
Germans on
Enemy Basis

Rome. July 20 (via Paris, July 81,
1921 a MA ministerial decree
was issued today placing the persons
and property of Germans on the same
footing of those of Austrians and Hun
garians. The decree does not directly
mention Germans, but states that al
lies Of Austria are to be treated as
enemies and their subjects and goods
are liable to SeQuestration.
Prior to the war German property
and interests in Italy were estimated
to be worth $250,000 900. Their value
is now placed at about S150,000, 900
There are only a few German sub
jects now in Italy and these will be
either placed in concentration camp
or sent across the Swiss border.
There has been strong agitation in
Italy for the breaking off of all rela-
lions with Germany. The curious sit
uation caused by Italy being at war
with Austria while nominally at peace
with Germany was emphasized by an
agreement between Rome and Berlin,
wherein all rights of the citizens of
one country dOmiciled in the other
were to be respected.
On July 16 this agreement was de-
nOunced by Italy on the ground it was
not being observed by Germany.
At the great council of the entente
powers held at Paris last February
the Italian representative were press
ed for an explanation as to why Italy
had not declared war on Germany. On
Feb. 20 Italy requistioned "a German
ships which were interned in Italian
ports. AS a similar action by Portu-
gal had promptly called forth an ulti-
matum from Berlin, which was fol-
lowed by a declaration of war, it was
confidentially expected that the same
sequel would follow in regard to Italy.
AS far as is known, however, Will
helm Strasse did not even protest. If
war is now declared, Italian troops
may be sent to the western front, ac-
cording to the expectations expressed
in London and Paris.

1t was learned from an authoritative

not Identical with that presented by

Mr.. Arredondo saw Acting Secretary

EXPECT PROTEST

cred a possibility today by state de-

vessel may draw more definite OBJ

So far the allies have suggested
only that the Deutschland is a poten-
tial warship. Additional representa-
tiOns. it is believed, would suggest
that the vessel lacks many character
istiCs essential to a merchant ship,
and might even attempt to hold the
United States liable for damage the
submarine might do to allied shipping
after she leaves American waters.

AT THE UNIQUE MONDAY

Mimi a founding, is taken from
the convent in which she has been
raised, to an inn kept by M. Ducros.
There Rudolphe, nephew of the veal
thy M. Durandi, falls in love with
her. However, his uncle wants him
to marry Madame de Rouvre, a
wealthy widow and friend of his
uncle. Rudolphe has quarrel with
his uncle, and leaves him. In the
Latin Quarter in Paris he meets
several Bohemians, who are in the
country for a holiday, and in them
and their methods of living Rudclphe
sees his ideal life.
And then, few minutes later, he
rescues Mimi, and in her he finds
his ideal woman, but Marcel a
painter of some renoWn, comes be-
tween them. Musette, sweetheart of
Marcel, introduces her to another
rich young man, but Mimi remains
loyal to Rudolphe, although he is
lead to believe otherwise, with the
result that Rudolphe, in a rage,
leaves Mimi From this point they
drift to vastly different channels, I'M
til one day, Mimi exhausted, enters
the court of Madame de Rouvre, who
tells her that Rudolphe has given
her up, and to go away.
A friend of Rudolphe, however,
catches a glimpse of her, and tells
Rudolphe. He seeks her, but finds
her in so delicate a condition that
she requires instant medical atten-
ton. Rudolphe, still in his uncle's
disfavor and penniless, persuades his
three other friends to assist him
in procuring the necessary money to
buy medicine for Mimi. They sue
coed in raising money enough, but
too late. Mimi passes away in the
midst of her loyal friends, with the
realization that Rudolphe has always
loved her; that he had brought the
uncle to know that love will con
quer all, and that all her friends had
been true to her and did SO much to
make her happy at the end.
