GOOD NEWSFOR
10Th DIVISION
Will Come Home Two Weeks
Sooner Than Scheduled,
Word From France

That the Seventy Eighth Light
ming Division will reach home ahead
of its present schedule is indicated
in an article in the division news
paper, ..The Flash" published April
8, which has just reached this city.
According to the Flash the Seventy
Eighth has been scheduled to leave
Bordeaux which should hasten the
sailing by at least two weeks.
The Twenty Ninth division, the
Blue Grey, which has been relieved
from duty and assigned to early con-
voy also expects to sail for home earl
ier than anticipated. according to
word from members of the unit. Un-
official reports in the division, the let
ters say, are that II will arrive home
about the middle of June instead or
the early part of July.
The order for the Seventy Eighth
to 20 TO Bordeaux will mean that it
will not have to pass through the
LIE Mans area where most of the div
ision have to wait several weeks be-
fore sailing. The telegram announc-
ing the assignment to Bordeaux. the
paper says, was received by 1t. Col.
w. II. Mcmillan, assistant chief OF
staff. It said that the division would
take over the area then occupied by
the Eighty Second division. An ad-
vance party from the Seventy Eighth
left for the new area 10 make pre-
liminary arrangements for its occd-

MOVE To GUARD
. HEALTH Of MEN
At CITY PLANTS
Board of Health Told That
DiSpensary is Needed
Here

Adding dyspensary or q bureau OF
hygiene to the. health department for
the purpose OF combating existing
evils Of health hazardous and occupa-
tional diseases among the employees
of various concerns in this city where
the work in some cases necessitates
unavoidable dangers to the men, was
considered last night by the health
commissioners at their regular meet
ing, after the proposition had been
advocated by the DIR. Starr of New
York, representing the United States
Public Health Service.
If such a clinic was established in
this city the government would assist
the health board to a certain extent
by providing a supervising physician
while the work is in the first stages
of organization. Also it is thought
that some financial aid might be
available from the government.
Dr. Starr pointed out that this
problem OF industrial diseases and
maladies Is one of such importance
that it demands the attention of every
community throughout the country
and nrist be contended with. He
thought that the LOCAL. health board
should take up the matter as some
thing distinctly for the benefit of the
municipality at large especially in
such an industrial center as Perth
Amboy is. He also remarked that
the u. S. Public Health Service was
backing this movement all over and
were desirous of helping and giving
their support to it wherever possible.
An expert on the subject would
have charge of the work.. one who
could Visualize the possibilities of
such an undertaking in a field like
Perth Amboy where ample opportu-
nifty is afforded for extensive work
along those lines.
DIR. Starr was firmly convinced that
this idea would result in no friction
between employer and employed
since without exception the employ
ers had agreed that the plan was an
excellent one. an some were eager to
have IL. He even declared that 1t
would tend to serve as an ameliorat-
ing factor in reducing the antagonism
that exists between the two classes in
some instances, and would be advan-
tageous to the employers and employ
es alike.
DIR. Starr made 1t clear that it was
n responsibility that health boards
should assume and he urged its adop-
ton by the local board. A meeting
will be arranged in the near future,
at which time the question will be
discussed more thoroughly and the
details of the plan explained.

because of engine trouble. AS he was
working about the machine he saw
a man running towards him without
coat or hat, and, following him an
other coatless man with revolver.
The Middlesex county officer stopped
the fleeing man and being suspected

the workers when the campaign

II is said also that the chances Of
reaching an accord at the final meet
ing were good If Premier Orlando had
remained a half hour longer. But
the approach of the time for the de-
parture of his train and his feeling
that he should consult the Italian
people finally caused him to withdraw
while the plan which might have
brought about an agreement was stiii

SITUATION lalicu oeriOuS.
PARIS. April 20 (5:S5 p. Mi
The peace conference has been Sc
verely shaken by the Italian crisis,
and the extent to which its work will
be affected is receiving the anxious
attention of the delegates. The Amer
ican storm has broken and the air
has cleared in that quarter, but in
other quarters less optomistic view
is taken, the feeling being that an
element of confusion has been intro
duced which win result IN more or
less delay at the moment the German
delegates are arriving.
In French and Italian circles the
situation is regarded as serious and
some quarters even represent 1t as
desperate, but this extreme view is
not generally held.
Several of the committees met to-
day with the italian members pres
ent, and the secretariate of the Amer
ican delegation said no notice had
been received of the withdrawal of
Italian participation. Pending formal
action no break in relations would be
assumed, IL was added, but the de-
parture of three of the Italian dele
gates and announcement or the de-
parture of Foreign Minister Sonnino
and former Minister Salandra to oc-
cur on Saturday, creates an anomo-
louS situation, as IL lS not hhoWh II
whether Italy will be represented at
the plenary session of the conference
on Monday when part of the treaty,
including the League of Nations COW
enant, will be finally passed upon.
Reports received here show tha'
Premier Orlando's passage through
Turin and other Italian cities was
made the. occasion of tumultuous
demonstrations. which are expected to
culminate in Rome on Saturday.
French reports represent the. nnal
meeting between President wilson
and Premier Orlando before the lat
ter's departure as highly dramatic IL
character. One version Is that the
Italian prime minister In addressing
the American president said.
you have contested the authority
of the Italian government before its
people, and IL is my duty to go before
the representatives of the ltaiian peo-
pie and say TO them: Decide between
Mr.. Wilson and me-,
To this President Wilson Is repre-
sented to have replied:
This is certainly your right
In American quarters 1t is said that
the foregoing version of the incident
is probably a refiexion of Premier
Oriandos public statement in which
he refers to the Presidents appealing
directly TO the people.
