Paris, Feb. 19.-The Italian delega

ing to an official note, has informed
the secretary of the conference that
it cannot accept the proposal for the
arbitration of Italian and Jugo-Slay
claims in Dalmatia as urged by the
Jugo-Slavs.
The Italian plenipotentiaries ex-
plain that all territorial claims are
being submitted to the peace confer
ence and they do not believe recourse
should be had to any exceptional pro.

Early last week the Jugo-Slay dele
gates asked President Wilson to act
as arbitrator in the differences with
Italy regarding the eastern coast OF
the Adriatic.
President Wilson suggested that the
Italians and JugoSlays discuss their
differences. The Italians declined to
make decision at that time.
Later the Jugo4Slav delegates ap-
pealed to Premier Clemenceau at pres
ident of the conference to act as ar
btrator, but there have been no re-
ports that the French leader took .
any action.

others to celebrate Soviet day, came to
sudden grief. Agents of the govern

FORMER LOCAL MAN PROMINENT
SINGER.

Phileas Goulet, a former resident Of
Little Falls and the son of F. x. Goulet
Of this city, is gaining wide prominence
as singer. Mr.. Goulet has done most
of his singing in the west but he is
now in the east where his rich baritone
voice is winning him great recognition.
Mr.. Goulet recently sang at a Sunday
concert given at the Shubert theatre,
New York, by the Evening Telegram
Concert Club of that city. In it's
writeup of the concert the Telegram
was loud in it's praise of Mr.. Goulet:
Of his singing it said in part:
."Mr. Phileas Goulet, who was ac7
companied by Miss Madge Gould, was
suffering from a very severe cold. De-
spite this handicap Mr.. Goulet's rich
baritone voice carried IN volume every
note in the very difficult selections
which he was called upon to render.
His Serenata by Tosti proved him an
artist. Dvorak's "Songs My Mother
Taught Me- was perfectly sung but
his rendition Of Invictus, by Hahn; Les
Deux Grenadiers, by Schumann, and his
singing Of the prologue from Leoncaval-
IS "Pagliacci' proved that Mr.. Gou-
let ranks with many Of Americas op-
cratic stars.
"Mr. Goulet is better known in the
west, where he has appeared in the
Standard Opera company as well as in
recitals. He has sung in "Carmen,
"Faust, " "Paglacci,' and "Aida =
in Seattle. Thus far he has had some
forty recitals in the east.

ed up, marched to the public square
Of Weirton, forced to kneel and kiss
the American flag and then were
driven out Of town by police and
deputies.
Seven of the men, suspected of be-
ing the leaders of the radicals, after
kissing the flag, were taken to the
county Jail at New Cumberland. Later,
all but one was released. He is be-
ing held for investigation by the Fed.
eral authorities.
Raid Follows Many Threats.
The raid, quietly planned but sen
sational in it's results, was the out.
come of many threats that have been
made against foreigners and others
employed in steel plants here.
A large quantity of RED" literature
was found in the headquarters of the
radicals. One placard read in Finish:
Red Christmas, 1918; Red New
Years, 1919"
Another read:
"The peoples flag is red, my blood
runs red; hoist up the red flag on a
pole and let us live or die under it,
