ITALIAN PAPER
ISSUES WARNING

Z Milan, Italy, June 25-Under the
heading ''Foes Within" The Corriere
della Sera' publishes a short article
which begins by quoting an extract
from the protest addressed by the gov
erning body of the Liberal Association
of Milan to Signor Canepa, Minister of
Food. The criticism contained in the
passage quoted applies not merely to
the question of the distribution of rice,
which is of special local Importance,
but to the whole government policy
which, it maintains, is not convincing
as applied either to the prevention of
waste nor as an internal policy with
which to confront the foes within the
country. The criticism Is severe, says
not factious. Who are the foes with
in? the article continues, and answers
it's own question by saying that neither
to the, governing body Of the Liberal
Association nor to the writer are the
foes within confined to those unhappys
persons who are playing the part of
spies in the pay of the Central En-
pires They will be dealt with by
those concerned with the public
safety, who will not be guided by sem.
timental considerations. The real
foes within are those Italians who
either carry on in open propaganda
against the war, or, by devious ways,
take upon themselves to weaken the
nations power of resistance. Those
Italians who, more or less openly fan,
instead of trying to extinguish, the
smouldering discomfort of the poorer
classes at the trials and sacrifices en-
tailed by the war, and who both in the
newspapers or privately, designate as
public enemies those who are Loyalty
supporting the government program:
War until victory is gained. In or
der to conquer, the article continues
the requirements imposed by supreme
necessity must be loyalty fulfilled, and
in the demands of the peasants and
workmen for peace, made with little
realization Of what a catastrophe the
peace they ask for might. eventually
be. must be seen an error of judgment
to be corrected. a fear to be allayed,
an anxiety to be assuaged, and not an
irritation to be increased, or something
to be made use Of for e1ectioneering
purposes.
Such foes within, states the article,
were by no means to be found only
among the official Socialists. The evil
was much more widespread than that.
The official Socialists, at any rate.
spoke out openly. but there were other
people who did not speak openly, but
who, if they did, would say the same
things. Their propaganda was more
cunningly devised. This time of great
crisis. not only in European politics,
but in civil consciousness, made it in
evitable that the attitude taken up
today would count and carry weight
In the future. and the foes within of
today could not tomorrow combine
with party who had Loyalty accepted
the national discipline and who would
protest to the government against any
internal policy which they considered
showed weakness toward the disin-
tegrating forces within the country.
For these reasons, the article con-
cludes, the protest issued by the
Milanese Liberal Association is well
come and should not be forgotten.

Remonstrants Object
Cohen Saloon Transfer

An attempt to transfer a saloon to
the recently built up residential sec
ton of Wood and Suburban avenues
has met with a remonstrance signed
by 81 property owners in the neigh
borhood. The paper was filed Sat
urday morning with the county COM
missioners
Jacob Cohen, who conducts a sa-
loon at $50 Pembroke street at pres
emit, is the applicant for transfer. He
thinks the Stratfeld section would be
a paying location for a life saving
station. Among those who signed
the remonstrance are former State
Senator Christian M. Newman, M. E.
Brewster-Greene, o. H. Brothwe1l and
DR.. C. N. Payne. It is claimed the
location isf unsuitable for a saloon be-
cause it is residential and because
there is not adequate police protection.
No date has been set for a hear

FAIRFIELD AVE. AND MIDDLE ST

The heroism of the Dutch people
has become a. world tradition. Not
alone have they repeatedly sacrificed
themselves but have even sacrificed
their homes and their country rather
than give them up to a foreign foe.
Such was the case during the Spanish
Inquisition and such was the case on
June 25, 1920, when the King of
France, at the head of 10000 choice
troops, commanded by the ablest gem
erals in the world, entered Utrecht
in triumph and advanced to within
nine miles of Amsterdam. At this
crisis the Inhabitants of Amsterdam
opened the s1uices and laid the coun-
try under water. Fertile fields and
any villages were overwhelme by the
inundation, but the foe hastily with
drew, thus saving Holland, for the
time being, at any rate. On this date
In 1925 Jonathan Wild, the noted
thief catcher, was hanged at Tyburn.
The evening previous he tried to poi
son himself, but lived to be stoned
and hooted by the mob on his way
to the gallows. On June 25, 1894,
Charleroi, scene of bloody fighting
during the present war. was surrend-
cred to the French under ,Jourdan.
On the same date in the year 1916
Napoleon made his farewell address
to his soldiers.

Who would be- leye, except by seeing, that the smock could lodge in the brain of clever designer and emerge in a glori- fled form as 1t has in this handsome conception.
 As shown. this dress is developed in dark sand-colored satin and ornament ed with braid (which stimulates em- broidery) in the same color and with a little black introduced to give 1t emphasis.
 This frock appears to be in two pieces, but the picture fails to make one entirely certain of this. The one piece frock is the order of the day, and in frOcks, as in some other things, appearances are misleading. If not in two pieces there is at least no doubt of the tunic over the skirt Probably this and the underskirt are both joined to the bodice but if makes no differ ence so long as the effect presented in the picture is attained in the making.
