ITALY To TAKE
GRAIN CENSUS
Dispatch Tells of Action Being
Taken to Break Up Menace
Decree Is Signed by Duke

Rome, Jan. ia decree sign
ed by the Duke Of Genoa as lieu
tenant general of King Victor En-
manuel orders that a census of all
grain be taken not later than Jan
uary 25. 1t is provided that any
person failing to announce the
quantity of grain he possesses or
makes any false statement is pun
ishable by a years Imprisonment
and $1,000 fine.
Another decree establishes rules
for the requisitioning of grain by
the military authorities. Resist
ance to requisition is punishable by
a year S imprisonment and $4,000
fine. in addition to confscation of
the cereals.
The census and requisitioning
measures are intended to prevent
speculation in cereals and to in
sure a sufficient supply for the ne
cessities of the army and the pop
ulation and to keep down prices.
The census decree makes it COM
pulSory for whoever possesses
more than five quintals of cereals
tC announce the quantity and the
quality of the grain in his posses
sion. Each person may indicate
the quantity necessary for the con-
sumption of his own family and
the agricultural laborerS until the
time for harvesting the new crop.
the average being three quintals
during the twelve months. He may
also indicate the quantity needed
for the next sowing and for food
for cattle.
Information from a diplomatic
source says that an effort is now
being made by Austria and Ger
many to limit purchases of food
stuffs in Switzerland. This is said
to be the main cause for the low
exchange. The only possible rem
edy consists in the wholesale requi-
sitioning of foodstuffs in Bulgaria,
the payment for these shipments
being made in paper money.

EDUCATION Of
foreign CLASS
How to Assimilate Foreigners Is
Question Before Meeting at
Philadelphia.

How to aSsimilate the millions
Of foreign-speaking aliens in this
country and bring them up to the
highest standards of American cit
izenship, will be one Of the ques-
tions discussed at the national con-
ference on immigration, at the
Bellevue-Stratford, January 20.
The conference will terminate
with mass meeting at the Metro
politan Opera House, with Colonel
Roosevelt as the principal speaker.
The conference will be in charge
OF the national Americanization
committee. According to a state
ment issued the other day by the
committee, there are in this cOun-
try upwards of 100000 foreign
horn whites, Of whom more than
II 100000 are more than 21 years
old In addition there are 10000
900 persons of foreign parentage
II the United States.
This seems, reads the state
ment, that in this country there
is vast mass Of foreign-speaking,
foreign-trained citizens in an un-
assimilated or only partially as
simulated condition. Of the H.
100000 foreign-born adults in this
country, only 80, GA were recorded
as attending school. These figures
present a grave problem which the
national Americanization commit
tee is attempting to solve.
Night schools are inadequate
for the training of the foreign
born; the children of immi migrants
are thrust into overcrowded
schools, and the adult population
is made to depend upon the. child s
immature Interpretation of Ameri-
ca, which is the only one many Of
these adults now know.

Pope Taking
Peace Steps
Seeks to Learn by What Compro-
mise Belgium Can Be Re
stored.

Rome, Jan. 15.-According TO
reports here Pope Benedict hopes
to take his first practical step to
ward peace in the near future.
Pope Benedict has been con-
vinced from the beginning of the
war that the restoration of Belgi-
um by Germany was an impera-
tive preliminary to any peace pro
posals. He has made this fact
known both to Germany and the
allies.
AT the recent papal consistory
Cardinal Hartmann, of Cologne, is
reported to have submitted to his
holiness the terms upon which Ger
many will consent to evacuate Bel
gium territory. The pontiff's s next
step was to learn the views of the
Belgians themselves and Germany
consented to visit to Rome by
the Belgian prelates.
Having learned Belgium s terms
the Pope plans to submit them to
Germany, hoping through these
negotiations to begin the series of
compromises necessary for peace.

100000 SUIT.
filed AGAINST
A NEWSPAPER
Papers With Summons Returnable
Second Monday of Feb. in
Hands of Prothonotary

John w. Reed. who recently re
tired as Common Pleas Judge of
jefferson county. has filed a suit
against Gil. c. Reitz, president and
director; w. n. Conrad, director.
and John G. Digit, managing ed
itor, of the BroOkville Republican
for an alleged libelous article ap-
pearing in the Republican of Feb
II, 1915.
The suit is a civil one and the
damages sought amount to $780,
GOO.
The action is based on an arti-
Gle written by John G. Digit, ed
itor Of the Republican, which the
Judge maintains was inspired by
Mr.. Reitz and Mr.. Conrad. 1t was
in answer to an article appearing
ia the Brockwayville Record of
Feb. 5, 1915. This was immediate
ly following license court, and in
it the editor lauded Judge Reed.
The Republican ~ reply stated
that the hypocrisy" Of the court
would be wiped out at the Novem-
Der election so that it would not
longer be visible. This, in addi-
tion to other statements in the
same article, is the basis upon
which Judge Reed filed his suit for
damages.
