ITALY SEES SLAV
PROBLEM; PRESS
VOICES DISOUIET

Rome. Dec. 11.-"When italy
signed the London convention. had
the disappearance of Austria-Hungary
been f~oreseen?" asks the Messagero,
commenting on the recent conference
in London. 1t continues by saying
that the sacrifice of Fiume demon
strates that such an eventuality had
not been expected, but it is natural,
now that Austria no longer exists,
that Italy should have liberty Of &C
ton. She has redeemed one Of her
most enthusiastically Italian towns,
putting into effect one of the prin-
ciples of President Wilson, the self
determination of peoples.
Italy. says the article, has always
promised Serbia a commercial outlet
to the sea, and the promise will be
kept. If Serbia became greater,
owing to annexation of the South
Slavs, she will need more than one
outlet, but the Serbs, with South Slav
territory, both military and naval,
will force the Italians to make grave
financial sacrifices to maintain the
supremacy of the sea and defend her
territory.

4 U wADs.
Result of a Cleanup in One Of Chi
cagO's Theatcrs.

S06O 4k1CoVC4Ss
In one Chicago theater 3,462 wads,
an average of four to a, seat, have
been removed. Now not even Will
liam's crown Is more useless than a
spent cake Of gum, but what is the
chewer to do with it?
There is no argument for placing it
under a theater seat. A dog buries a
bone against the time when food sup
plies are short. When hungry he re-
covers his treasure. But what assur-
ance is there that the gum chewer
will sit in the same seat the next time
at theater And, provided the same
seat is obtained, what assurance is
there that the right cud Of gum can
be selected from the six or seven
ranged along the under side of the
seat? Gum thrown on floors and side
walks has caused much profanity.
The only solution would seem to be
to roll the gun into a ball with the
tongue. then thrust it into a hollow
tooth until the nearest gum garbage
can Is reached. This course will also
end the career of lots of little
microbes that must frolic about the
theater seats, on clothing and good
ness knows where, causing endless
trouble.-IndianapOlis News.

NOVEL CASES in
THE COURTS
(From New York Times.)

In Bliss versus Clark, in the appel
ate term of the New York supreme
court, first department, the question
was considered, which is of the great
est importance to occupants Of apart
ment houses, as to what legal redress
the tenant of IN apartment can have
if the landlord does not furnish suf-
f1cient heat. In this case the land
lord started summary proceedings to
dispossess the tenant for failure to
pay rent for the month of February,
1918. The lease contained no cove
nant by the landlord to supply heat.
The tenant admitted the rent due,
but counterclaimed for an amount
expended on gas heaters and other
expenses.
The conclusions Of the appellate
term were as follows:
ut thus follows that, where there
is no express covenant to furnish
heat, the tenant may abandon the
premises and successfully resist a
claim for rent, but that such lack of
heat cannot be the basis of an inde-
pendent action by the tenant for dam
ages against the landlord, nor can the
tenant continue to occupy the prem
Uses and counterclaim damage in an
action by the landlord for rent. This
Is SOunu IN principle as well as upon
authority, which authority, so far as
we can find, has never been over
ruled and is binding upon this court.
Upon principle. it is one thing to per-
NIT a recovery where a covenanter has
expressly and in fact agreed, and a
totally different thing for a court to
imply in law such a covenant. 1t is
not an answer to say hat such agree
ment follows because a lease has
been made Of a living apartment. An
express agreement is the act Of the
parties, while a covenant implied in
law is totally different. If the court
is to create such an agreement. what
is to be its extent? This can finally
only be determined by the expression
Of the courts through the medium Of
litigation; whereas this question does
not arise il such an agreement is
properly left to the parties or to leg
is%lation. 1t may be more proper to
say hat in circumstances as here dis
closed there is a failure OF consider
alton rather than any covenant

WILL INVESTIGATE
STORIES OF POGROMS

Washington, Dec. 11.-Announce-
ment was made here that American
Polish leaders hoped t. be able with
in ten days to SEND to Poland a COM
mission to investigate at first hand
the stories Of pogronls recently cabled
from abroad.
The date of sailing is.understood to
be dependent upon the selection of
three commissioners, representing the
asked to assist in the investigation.
The suggestion for the appointment
of this joint commission was original
ly made by the National Polish de-
partment and the Polish National De-
tense committee at a session held in
New York. The Jewish organizations,
through their officers, have now an
noQnced their agreement with the
plan.
John F. Smulski, Of Chicago, presi-
dent Of the National Polish depart
ment, today issued a statement in
which he said:
I'VE are firm in our belief that the
commission will return with absolute
and unanimous denials Of the pogrom
stories. 1t would not be surprising If
in Poland they did find disturbances
because of economic conditions and
disorders, which follow war, for in
Poland war still exists, but the stories
of massacres will be absolutely dis
proved and the animus of the Ger
mans in setting them afloat will be
understood.
THE travels Of the joint commits
sion will, however, nave a value
wholly apart from this study. I ex-
pect that the commissioners, irrespec-
tive Of their religious beliefs. will re-
turn, convinced hat the real solution
of the Jewish problem rests on the
creation Of a strong independent
Polish state, with area sufficient to
relieve h terrible overcrowding, and
with food products sufficient for all
the inhabitants. With a reconstructed
Poland of large area, there will be
land and opportunity for all.
Germany still aims to control
Poland n the creation Of bad blood
between the Poles and Jews in Poland
is simply the renewal of an old meth
cd of ruling by dissension."

that he has known women undertaking
