In Flower Fete for Italy

nightly.
Every automobile was brave with
swapping flags and bending balloons,
while many were elaborately decorated
with garlands and canopies and para
were piled high with blossoms that
had 'been given wholesale by the fior-
lists or by wealthy friends of Italy who
had stripped the gardens of their
country homes. Thousands Of bouton-
nieres in red, white and green fell with
the flowers in the rain Of color that
swept down the avenue. At Washing
ton Square the parade divided into six
divisions, each going to remote part
of the city.

command OF the one that penetrated
into the heart of Little Italy" on the
upper East Side. Here the pushcart
merchants looked up in amazement TO
find pink carnations splashing in their
pickle barrels, and children sitting on
the curbstones, already bored with
existence at six, found themselves
fighting and shrieking and laughing in
a rain of roses.
Italy's War Achievements
During the afternoon giant Caproni

the festival crowds with one hundred
thousand red and green leaflets telling
what Italy has done in the great war.
The circulars read as follows:
The news that the American govern
ment had honored the Italian ally by
naming two new submarine chasers for
ltalys two greatest modern heroes
Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi-was
received with cheers by huge crowd
which gathered at the opening of the
Italian exhibit in Madison Square
Garden.
The Italian Ambassador to the Unit
ed States, Count Macchi di Cellere, re-
sponded with "a speech, in which he de-
clared that the American ideals of lib
erty and union had been beloved by
Italy for many years, and now the two
nations were fighting together on the
! same battlefields for those ideals.

Women Teachers Will Enroll
As Part Of Higher Pay Campaign

The opportunity to enroll to-day
with one of the political parties will
he taken advantage Of by most of the
women teachers of the city as a step
toward making their influence felt
when the next Legislature takes up
the matter Of their salaries.
The women teachers are practically
united in opposition to the so-called
eoual pay law enacted in 1911, as
modified by the five amendments enact
ID in 1912, 1918, 1914 and 1917. And
row that they have vote, they are
manning legislation in 1919 which will
remove the discriminatory effects of
.he. amendments SO that women will
actually have the same pay as the
men doing the same work in the public
school system.
Through the various organizations Of
teachers, the women have been re-
minded that it is to their self-interest
ID enroll before 10 o'clock tonight in
.heir home election districts, the reg
straton places of which are indicat-
Cd elsewhere in The Tribune to-day.
The Teachers Welfare League of
BROOKLYN has distributed circular

inc reasons, why you should enroll:"

and red flag in his hatband, prone
naded Fifth Avenue conscious of new
dignity yesterday 1t was proud
thing to be a son of Italy when the
green Of his country's flag mingled
with the Red Cross on Fifth Avenue
and with American flags in buttonholes
and on window ledges and Aagpoles in
the city.
America paid homage yesterday to
the flag which has flown for three years
over the ice trenches of the Alps and
over the heroes who last week braved
the mine strewn harbor of Pola to sink
an Austrian battleship.
There were speeches of political i'm
meetings in Washington Square and
the Metropolitan Opera House, but the
day was a flower festival for all the
bambini and the blackshawled grand
mothers and the truant schoolboys
who could find an excuse for lin
gering on Fifth Avenue or at Wash
ington Square during the long, sun
shiny hours. The height of the festi-
val was at II O'Clock, when $50 flower
decked automobiles swept down the
avenue from Sxty-irst Street to Wash
ington Square, fiinging armfuls of
roses, carnations and irises at the
houting crowds.
Captain Bayliss Heads Parade
The parade was headed by Captain
Adelaide Bayliss, of the National
League for Women's Service, and a
corps of motorcycle police. Two tour

Ceribelli carried great liberty bells

and the women in the cars wore ber

On the Screen
''Cecelia of the Pink Roses
Gives Miss Davies an Oppor-
tunity to Look Beautiful

"Cecelia Of the Pink Roses" novel
by Katherine Haviland Taylor, was
never intended for the screen. One
suspects that at the end of the first
reel, and the suspicion becomes a GER
tainty at the end of the third reel.
The picture, with Marion Davies in
the title role, was shown yesterday at
the New York Roof. AS it stands it
proves two things. One. is that Miss
Davies can look beautiful in old, torn
clothes, and the other is that she can
look still more beautiful in Paris
frocks.
The people of whom one might ex-
pect something really worth while have
chance to do very little. They are
Willette Kershawe and George lie
Guerc.
Miss Kershawe is Mary, the wife Of
Jeremiah Madden, bricklayer, who in
vents a process of making bricks with
out straw, and thereby becomes a mill
ionaire. But before this interesting
event takes place Mary passes away.
Promise to spend your money in edu-
eating our children. I want Cecilia to
be lady and l want Johnny to be a
good man" AS it turned out later
Cecilia became lady, but Johnny in
sisted on going to the devil.
Cecilia goes to boarding school
and becomes the butt of all their
practical jokes because she soaks her
bread in her tea and says her prayers
every night.
But one day she meets Harry Ben
tram, fine, upright young man, just
the one to make Cecilia happy, and a
little later she is graduated with
honors and goes home with an engage
ment ring on her finger
This is where George lie Guere come s
in. He is little Johnny grown-up. We
felt from the first that Johnny would
grow up to be fascinating and he did.
Johnny drank more than was good for
him and went to cabarets and became
involved in near scandal and was, in
short, the only really interesting per-
son in the picture. George LIE Guere
gave a clever Interpretation of the
role; although he did not appear until
along about the fifth reel, he carried
away the honors of the day. We like
lie Guere. His style is finished and one
always feels quite sure of him. He
never disappoints.
While no one could accuse "Cecelia
of the pink roses" of being wildly ex-
citing, it will probably please the
movie fans, for it has pleasant love
story and happy ending, in which
virtue triumphs over all opposition,

With the subject of food conserva-

special interest attaches to the educa,,
tional campaign of "The American
Angler" magazine, which three weeks

OF the country series of motion pict-
ures of "Fishes and Fishing" The
pictures are presented by James A.

many kinds of angling, but also por-

Wherever "The American Angler"

CONVERSION OF BONDS.

The Treasury Department at Wash lngtOn has announced that the priv ilege of conversion of 4Io bonds will expire on November 9 and that those who wish to convert them into bonds Of the Third Liberty Loan should do so promptly instead of waiting until the last moment. Delay results in overburdening the banking institu- tiOns of the country and the Treasury department by making them handle all conversions at the last moment and may result in the loss of the privilege of conversion altogether.
 Holders of coupon bonds are strongly urged to request issue of registered bonds in order to protect themselves against the risk of loss, theft and destruction of their bonds.
 Official Department Circular No. IA, with forms of application, has been distributed to Federal Reserve Banks and banks and trust companies throughout the United States. These institutions are asked, as a matter of patriotic service, to assist bond holders in exchanging 4lc bonds for IA e bonds and in registering their bonds.

PERRE1TAS WEAKEN
 HEARING SENTENCE
Death Penalty Shock to Wife Of
 One of the Accused

Standing before the bar in the superior court Erasmo and Joseph Ferretta heard Judge Lucicn r. Bur pee impose sentence Which carried with it the forfeiture of their lives for the murder of frank fuimeSe, which was committed on une ,, last The date set for the execution is February 5, 1919, The stiffness of the court was ominous. Erasmo and Joseph stood side by side. Erasmo, the older who throughout the trial was pale faced and haggard in ap- pearance and several pounds less in weight than when arrested, leaned his back against the big column ill the room. He was even more pale than during the trial. Asked by Judge Burpee if he had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be imposed he replied:
 "I have nothing to say"
 Judge Burpee proceeded with the formal sentence. As he reached the end Erasmo sank to the floor. The deputy sheriff in attendance assisted hirn to a chair.
 Joseph only shook his head when asked if he had anything to say and like EraSmO, began 10 tOtter when the end of the form was reached. The deputy attending him had to SUD- port him.
 The formal-"You are sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead and bay God have mercy on your sOuP' was omitted. When Judge Burpee ceased talking Joseph asked: May I say something?" He was cautioned to be quiet. Both had to be aided to the prisoners pen.
 In nearby room was the young wife of Erasmo, the shoemaker. She had heard the verdict of the jury which found her husband and the father of her unborn child, guilty of murder. Throughout the court building he agonizing screams were heard. Ind when she learned a little later that February ,, 1919 was the date appointed for the hanging she again shreked in grief, expressing ejaCula- tionS in Italian.
 The jury was only about 45 min utes in reaching it's finding.
 During the judges charge to the jury following the noon day recess the prisoners sat withing the pris- oners' enclosure. They were taken to the cells below the court room while the jury de1berated. While the jury was locked up friends of Mrs. Perretta succeeded in getting her to leave the court room. The prisoners were returned to hear the

TrasmO shrugged his shoulders and gestured as if to say it cant be helped.
 The prisoners were taken to the Hartford county jail and within 20 days, in accordance With the order of the court, will be taken to the Connecticut State Prison at WetherS- field.
