FiuTne Calls Forth SCOrn
 Of Deputies
Socialist Deputy in Italian Parliament Makes Bitter
 Attack.
PREFERS BOLSHEVISM
 TO MILITARISM

Rome, Sunday, Sept 2s-Today's debate in the chamber was opened by Deputy Tura.d, leader of the official sociaHsts.
 What Is happening today is the outgrowth of the war;" he declared. War arouses all appetites and the more you attempt to gratify them the less you succeed in satisfying them"
 The deputy attacked those who, he said, for three years had ignored the fact that Plume was Italian and had sanctioned its going to the Crontians. He 'believed, however, that Plume would be better placed as the capital of an autonomous state than other wise.
 Deputy Tursutt censuned those who were now attacking American inter vention, after Italy had "called America to her rescue"
 He condemned the D'Annunzio raid 1Epon Plume and continued:
 After making war upon Germany and Austria. we now are preparing for war against Juso-Slavia, but which of the American banks will supply us with the funds2'
 He argued that 1t would be only the oower of the protetariat that could save Italy from either mihtarism or Bol- shevism-
 'sWe socialists, even the mildest among lls," he continued, If put to a a choice between militartsm anu Bol- sheytsrn, will not hesitate to choose the latter.
 '~The solution of the present dif1- entities cannot be found In the parlia- 1ueut, but in the people, who must decide and pass ssr-ence on what Is 5ons and express their views on what they wish done. Likewise, the peace treaty must be discussed by the peo- ple All this can be accomplished through general elecuous.'
 Count Soderini. a Catholic deputy, supported the plan of proclaiming Plume Italian. At the same time he condemned what he characterized as dangerous adventures" and urged the necessity of re-establishing army discipline.

PLAZA

The show presented to large audi ences yesterday at the Plaza theatre lives up to the advance billing and Is as excellent as the press agent said it would be. The feature picture, '"rhe Light" Theda Bara's newest photo play, is a very fine picture. One can not long remain blind to the work of Theda in this super-production. Never has a feature offered Miss Bara greater opportunities for in 1t she lives up to her reputation of ''the Sarah Bernhardt of the screen" She portrays the most infamous woman in Paris, who finds the light through the eyes of a blinded sculptor. Seeing his misery, she abandons her life of many loves to nurse this wreck of man and to bring happiness <ato his existence.
 The show is headlined vaudeyiIIey by the famous stage comedian. Sher- man De Forest, and a good comedy company in "A Day at the Circus" The roars of laughter which MT.

SHARP'S ACTION
 NOT A SURPRISE
With His Wife Will Probably Leave France Before
 March 15. 2

Paris, Sunday, Feb. 16-Announce- nation of William Graves Sharp, American ambassador, was not a. sur prise to his friends here, some of whom had known since November that he had asked President Wilson to release him. His letter, explaining that private business reasons prompt ed him to resign and return home permanently, reached President Will son before he sailed for France and his resignation kept reluctantly after several conversations between him and the President here.
 One of Ambassador Sharp's dis tinctive services to Persident Wilson has been the sending of weekly cable letters to Washington since Americas s entrance into the war. These mes sages dwelt upon the situation in France, the state of public sentiment and the convictions of the Premier and other members of the cabinet on dominating questions of the moment They were prepared from a variety of materials and derived frequently from personal contact with the lead ing figures of the war, and appear to have been of uncommon value to the President.
 Besides dealing with many delicate political questions which arose be- tween the United States and France before Americas entrance into the war Amba ssa dor Sharp had also tc take up with the French government problems concerning the care o1 enemy prisoners in France MT. and Mrs. Sharp probably will Ileave for America before March Is.
