RENEWAL OF
 FRIENDSHIP
 COSTS MONEY

The renewal of old friendships may be considered profitable by some folks, but after an experience in this game which cost her $500 yesterday Helen Mccarthy, of 1,4OS Main street, is everlastingly convinced that some former acquaintances are to be looked upon dubiously if not with downright suspicion.
 According to the story told to the police, a man and woman who roomed police, a man and woman who room ed at Miss McCarthy's home several years ago called at her house yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making a brief visit. The hostess showed the woman a new $500 mink coat which she recently pur- chased, and the visitor was greatly impressed with the garment.
 The callers made their departure a short time later, and Miss Mccarthy then left for her afternoons work. When she returned to her home last evening, she found that the visitors had returned to the house and made off with the mink coat. The couple entered the house through a window, and disturbed nothing but the coat The police are Investigating.

INTERFERENCE
 BY ALLIES GAN PREVENT WAR
Only Alternative That Is Left In Adriatic
 Situation.

Geneva, Monday, Nov. 24-Tele- grams received by the Serbian bureau at Berne from Belgrade, Zara and Spalato convey the impression that only prompt interference by the al- lies can prevent war over the Adria- tic situation, as the Jugo SIavs are ready to fight the Italians.
 "We are astonished that the peace conference permits our people to en- dure constant Italian prosecutions, says one Belgrade paper received here. Our peaceful attitude is praiseworfy, when we might throw D'Annunzio and his fii1ibusters into the sea-"
 Another newspaper accuses Italy of desiring to blockade Jugo Slavia's ex- ports and imports, and thus 'stran- gle her. A third repeats recent re- ports that a reign of terror prevails in zara, that everybody must wear a brassard inscribed Italy or death" or be badly treated, and that Slavs are afraid to leave their houses.
 Paris, Nov. 24.---Dfspatches con- firmjng reports from Geneva that the situation along the eastern shore of the Adriatic is critical are issued by the Jugo Slav bureau here. The bu- reau says the Jugo S1av government has asked its ministers at Paris, Lon don and Washington to draw the att tention of those government to the dangerous situation arising from D'Annunzio's raids and those he is reported about to make.

LABOR DELEGATES
 THREATENINCT TO QUIT CONFERENCE
Hostile Attitude Halts Dis cussion of Workmen's
 Proposals.

Washington, Nov. 25-Labor dele gates to the international labor con ference threatened to withdraw. today
 if their proposals continued to be met by a hostile attitude.'' The threat was uttered by Conrad Ilg, of the Swiss delegation, during discussion of the proposed eight hour day conven- tion when Chairman Jules Cartier of the Belgian delegation ruled out con- sideration of wage guarantees pro- posed by Gino Baldesi, Italian labor delegate.
 "1f by 8 hostile attitude" Ilg de- clared, discussion of proposals of workmen is to be made impossible, the workmen will leave the confer ence.
 An immediate rupture was prevent ed when a compromise plan offered by Leon Jouhaux, French labor dele gate, was accepted.
 Baldesi sought to have the propos- ed international convention providfne for an eight hour day so framed as to guarantee that wages would not be decreased because of a decrease in hours. He anticipated trouble in this regard, he said, in countries where labor was not strongly or ganized.
 The eight hour day proposal was approved and was sent to the draft ing committee. Baldesi immediately renewed his efforts to secure action on his amendment and was supported by Jourhaux
 Adoption of the eight hour proposal was marked by heated arguments but it went through without further amendment. An effort by Mir Ilg to provide that workers should be paid for holidays was defeated.
