PARADE TO CELEBRATE ITALIAN DAY
Men, Women and Children of Italian Blood Celebrate An niversary of Itas Entrance Into War Side of the Entente Meeting in Town Hall Follows Parade Italian Women Collect $S474 For Red Cross.

For the first time in the history of the United States the Italian flag has beer flown from the hagstaffs of the country along with Old Glory. This was on Friday in eommemoration of Italys entrance into the great world struggle on the side of the allies, the side of justice and righteousness.
 In Norwich the day was fittingly observed by the Italian speaking pop ulation, who displayed the flag and colors of their native land In the evening there was street parade and mass, meeting at the town hall, where prominent American and Italian citi- zens addressed the large audience.
 The parade which, considering the short. time in which 1t was planned, was a decided success and credit to the Italians of the city. The parade started from Shetucket street, led by the Italian band, followed by the Ital- ian societies, Garibaldi and Italian Fraternal society, bearing the Italian flags and the America. Ct might be appropriate to say at this point that there was a noticeable lack. of rever- ence for the flag among the crowds that lined the streets, as hardly anyone uncovered when the flag passed in parade.) Following the societies came the Italian children costumed to rep resent the United States and Italy. Following came the bicycle brigade, which was led by Frank Maierba, who rode a bicycle decorated to represent an airplane. On the airplane was the name Caproni, in honor of the won derful Italian air machine which has been a factor on the Italian front Following the bicycle brigade came two floats. one representing a battle ship and on the other was a tabeau of the allied nations, Louis Bombino representing Uncle Sam and Mrs Nancy Allegretti and Miss Mary h. nezinno as the other countries. The automobiles for the floats were do- mated by Joseph Angarano and James E. Moore. J. Allegretti conducted the automobiles.
 The line of march was from She tucllet street to Burnham square, tc Mckinley avenue, countermarching tC Washington square, back to Broadway to the court house, where the Italian band rendered several patriotic selec-
 tions

SALOON CASES IN
 CITY COURT SETTLED
Eleven, Propretors Pay s22.o2 Each
 Three Cases Dropped.

Eleven saloon keepers of the city paid full bills of costs, amounting in each case to $22.02, in the city court on Friday morning when their continued cases were nolled on those terms. They were all accused of violation of the liquor law in having side or back rooms at their saloons. Ten of them had been summoned into court by the state police about ten days ago, and Alfred Adam of Norwich Town was an added case on Friday. The follow ing were those who paid:
 George Greenberger, Murphy & Sul- livan, Cunningham estate, Herman Goldfaden, Karol Karpienia, Dennis P. Driscoll, Louis Wunderlich, Abraham Schanker Barney Katz, Ephraim Bud nick, Aired A. Adam.
 Two of those who had been sum moned declined to settle their cases as the others did. They were Keough & Williams and Herman Jackel, whose cases were continued until 10 a. m on May 91. Besides having the side room, it is claimed that the Keough & Will Hams place also has communication with the living apartments upstairs, and the same condition was charged against the place run by Alfred Adam at Norwich Town.

 show that because they had not made
 payment in full, which is custom allowed by the county commissioners l These were the saloons of Patrick Shes l on Franklin street, John G. Shea ot

WATCH FOR sALsgERRY.
Rumor Starts Officers Into Vigilance
 to Catch the Murderer.

The theory that Arthur Salsberry, murderer of Constable Kinney of Preston, has committed suicide, has been dispelled, as on Friday it was discovered that Salsberry had written othe Winchester Arms Co. in New Haven on May 13, one week after the murder, asking the company to send a check to his wife, Blanche Salsberr, for the amount due him.
 The fact that the letter had been written was disclosed by the appear ance of Mrs. Salsberry at a local bank to cash the check. Mrs. Salsberry seemed very anxious to obtain the money and it is thought that Salsberry must be in the neighborhood of his home. The local officials are keeping a close watch on the Salsberry home in an effort to locate the wanted man.

JAPAN's FOOD PROBLEM

Information coming through Toxic
indicates that the rather alarming
God situation in Japan has had to do
with the delay in going to Siberia to
prevent the Huns from oyerrunning
that country.
The price of rice has risen by leaps
and bounds. and all other staple food
tufts have followed closely This is
II part explicable as due to increased
cost of transportation and to the abnor
mally dry and cold winter which SER
ously cut down the supply of green
vegetables. but it is generally under
stood that increased cost of living in
Japan is due to profiteering.
Against any attempt on the part of
d he government TO stop this. the great
'eiyukai party seems to stand firm.
II has its backing in large capitalistic
interests which are definitely opposed
any government mobilization of in
iustry or even food supplies. In the

large profits that are being made, the
labor class, to considerable extent,
have shared and are able to command
higher rate of earning which en-
abled them to live But the very large
middle class suffered during the latter
part Of the winter.
The food problem now, seems cap
able of amelioration through the i'm
port of rice from Siam and Burma, but
this would cease when once the gov
eminent had use for its ships for mill
tary purposes. This check on marine
transportation constitutes the second
weighty reason. 1t would affect, not
only the common people, on the side
of their food, but would also put a
definite stop to business property.

RETURNING SOLDIERS

Some day there will be the return
ing soldiers to care for in this country
and the plans for bring them back
INTO the business life of the nation
are to be carefully laid. This coun-
try has alredy plans promulgated by
Australia
Two principles were enumerated in
the Australian system of repatriation:
first that the true purpose of repat-
ration is to secure the re-establish-
nent of returned soldiers in the indus
trial life of the community to the full
lest extent that circumstances will per
nit, and second, that, as soldier
abandoned his civil calling to serve
the state, il is the duty of the state
to sustain him until an opportunity
for such re-establishment is assured.
Sustenance, therefore, will be paid
to men VINO. after discharge from the
army, are seeking employment or are
being trained in technical schools.
The amounts will vary according to
the number of dependents, the maxi
mum payable being three pounds, six
shillings or approximately $16.50.
Centralized authority is obtained
through the creation of ministry of
repatriation, while decentralized ad-
ministration is assured by the organic
alton of state boards of seven mem
charged soldiers and one represen-
tative of organized labor.
A feature of the vocational train
ing which is being planned will be ma
tional workshops, wherein men whose
injuries preclude the possibility of
heir ever becoming sufficiently com
petent to earn their living as normal
workmen will be educated to new
tasks and perhaps employed perman-
entity. The totally and permanently
incapacitated will be provided for in
hotels, or, alternately, by special
grants supplementary to their pen
sions, if they prefer to remain with
their friends.
A rental allowance will be paid to
widows with their children mad inca
pacitated men, when such allowance
will permit the maintenance of a
| home
Widows DESTROYS of learning some
useful trade will be afforded the neces-
sary sustenance and training
Advances of money will be made in
certain cases for the establishment of
small businesses, for tools and for tran
81 to employment.
Australia is also following the prac-
tice of the United States after the Civil
War of granting to returned soldiers.
Major Blizzard, who took part in the
historic landing at Gallipoli and was
severely wounded has been allowed
200 acres near Echuca.
