Believe Can Reach
Agreement With Italy
Associated Press

PARIS, March 22-Friday) Hope
was expressed tonight in peace con
ference circles that by the first Of
next week a plan will be presented
which would surmount the difficulty
in the way, which caused Italy to
make the threat to withhold appro-
val of any treaty not definitely set
tling the Jugo Slav controversy. The
whole question is now before Pres.
Wilson and it is from him a plan of
settlement is looked for According
to statements by some of the mem
bers of the Italian delegation, the
state of mind of the Italian public is
declared to be such that the failure
of the Italian delegation t. secure
title to ~Fiume and the Dalmatian
coastal Island, might make grave in
ternal results.

SCARCITY HOMES
FELT IN IRELAND
Disappointment Is Expressed Over
Failure of Government To Pro-
vide Houses For People.
Associated Press

DUBLIN, March 22-Disappoint
ment is expressed in Belfast as wei
as in Dublin over the policy that wa
adopted by the government to solv
the problem of providing homes fo
the people. In England the housing
schemers are said to- be we'll ad
vanced. In Ireland, though the neet
is believed here to be greater thar
in England, nothing has been done
and the plan proposed by the gov
ernment is criticised as unsatisfac
tory and not likely to produce the
results desired.
In England the local authorities are
authorized to impose a penny tax tc
meet the loss on building schemes anC
the state provide funds necessary tc
cover the loss not made good by the
tax.
In Ireland there is to be no penny
rate. The local authorities will have
to borrow from the banks the money
necessary for building the houses
The Irish Local Government Board, a
body appointed by the Castle and not
regarded as responsible to Irish opin-
ion, will determine what is a fair
rent for the houses and the Treasury
will pay part of the differences be-
tween the rent paid by the tenant and
the amount necessary to meet the cost
of living.
1t is considered likely that the To-
cal authorities in Ireland will find
1t difficult to borrow this money from
the banks, as these local authorities
will be largely Sim Feiners bodies
which probably will treat the Local
Government Board as an English
authority to be challenged and OBJ
structed. Consequently the prospects
of success for the Irish housing plan
are not regarded as hopeful.
good deal of the unrest in Dub
lin is attributed to the condition of
the Dublin slums. Twenty-one thou
sand families, about one-third of the
population, live in one room tene-
ments. The government inspector has
reported that about 100000 English
pounds is needed for housing.
1t is not believed possible that Dub
lin could borrow eight millions un-
der the scheme proposed. Belfast is
comparatively new city and has not
the same slum problem. But it has
an increasing population and great
shortage of houses. 1t wants nearly
1,e0e, English posnds for the
schemes it Immediately contemplates,
and eventually will require 100000
English pounds. 1t has not the same
hostility to the Local Government
Board that Dublin has, but it is about
equally disappointed with the propo-
sails of the government

Fire Badly Damages
The Nichols Home

A destructive fire occurred last night
in the D. E. Nichols home on Strong
Ave. The upper floor of the two
story house was practically destroy
ed by flames. The blaze is believed
to have originated from a defective
wire.
The family was at home at the
time but did not know the house was
on fire until they were notified by
the neighbors. The furniture and all
the contents were practically de-
stroyed as the articles which were
saved were badly damaged by fire
and smoke. ss' -
Mr.. Nichols stated this morning he
was unable to ascertain the exact
amount of the damage, but that it
was practically a total loss.

THE Mysterious Visitor
(By Alice Gayden, Aged 12)
"One day as Mrs. Green sat in her
room. she heard creak on the
stairs. She went to her dresser and
picked up her revolver and stood be-
side the door. All at once she heard
steps in the hall. They came straight
to her door and stopped. She threw
open the door but no one was there
She waited and soon she heard them
again. They sounded as if they were
in the attic
THAT night when she went to bed,
she put the revolver under her pillow
and soon fell asleep. She was
awakened by brilliant light shining
in the room. She got her revolver
and saw a man dressed in white, like
a ghost.
'He raised his hand to speak and
said: i suppose you heard my steps
in the hall this Afternoon At this
Mrs. Green started to speak, but the
man continued. My dear lady you
need not say a word, for if you do
will call my gang here and you will
be sorry you spoke Mrs. Green was
dazed now and could not have spoken
if she had wanted to-
Il will not come again. said the
man, as have learned what / came
for. Adieu Madam AT this the
man was gone. The next morning the
police heard Of it and sent detectives
everywhere to try and learn about
and where the man was. But their
search was in vain for he had made
his getaway and was never heard of
again."

PRESIDENT HOME MAY 1.
Associated Pres:

FARIS. March 22-(Friday)-A
special session of the American Con-
gress will probably be called to as
semble about the middle May.
This is the date President Wilson
hopes to return to the United States.
It is thought to be unnecessary for
the President to be in Washington
when the call is issued and it may be
cabled from Paris in advance of his
departure.
The President, however, has reach
ed no decision and is reserving the
shaping of his course of action until
he has more definite idea of the
date of his return TO America.
