Berlin Police Clash With
Loot PedIers; One Killed

BERLIN, Monday, May 5 (By The
Associated Press) Police officers and
statesmen who were selling stolen goods
clashed to-day, four policemen being
wounded and one civilian killed. The
fight resulted from a raid on the sales
men, and as the police advanced a
crowd opened fire on them with revol-
vers.
A company of soldiers was sent to
the aid of the police, who captured
nine statesmen, who had in their pos
session thousand illegal food cards
and large amount of stolen property
Mobs which attempted to rescue the
prisoners were driven off.

this connection, it was noted, Marquis
Imperiali, the Italian Ambassador at
London, represented Italy at the meet
ing Of the organization committee of
the league Of nations yesterday af-
ternoon.
The decision of the Belgian Crown
Council that the Belgian delegates
should sign the treaty, as Belgium had
been promised a satisfactory arrange
ment of her war debts, through the
hearty support given her by the Amer
lean delegates, was another develop
ment of an auspicious day for the
peace conference.
The newspapers generally express
satisfaction with the decision of the
Italian delegates to be present Wednes-
day when the peace treaty is delivered
to the Germans.
Sign of Solidarity
They look upon the action of the Ital-
ians as a sign OF solidarity between the
Allies, and point out that the return of
the Italians indicates that Italy will
continue at the side of the Allies and
battle any German mannuvre to cause
dissension among the five great pow
ers. The belief is held that Italy will
help in finding ways and means for q
satisfactory solution of the Adriatic
problem,

Costa Rica President
Is Facing Crucial Battle

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 5.-Cos-
ta Rican forces commanded by the Mic
araguan general, Chavez, which en-
trenched at the frontier village of La
Cruz on the Pacific coast of Costa
Rica, have retired upon the approach
of a revolutionary force of Costa
Ricans, which was advancing from
the village of Sapoa, on Lake Nicara-
qua.
General Chavezs forces have re-
treated in the direction of Liberia,
capital of the province of Guam Acaste.
Military experts believe that President
Tinoco of Costa Rica will put up a
hard fight at Liberia, but if he suffers
defeat his government will probably
collapse.

New-York tribune., 1919-05-07

Stephen Jean Marie Pichon is at the
head of the French Department of
Foreign Affairs for the fifth time in
his long career as statesman and
journalist. When Clemenceau assumed
the relns of the government in Novem-
ber, 1917, at the most critical period
of the war and called Pichon from the
editorial chair OF the "Petit Journal"
to assume the difficult Foreign port
folio all France and the Allied diplo-
matte world applauded the Premier's s
choice.
Throughout the war, even before he
became member of the government,
Nj. Plchon was an uncompromising ad-
vocate of q victorious peace and of full
reparation for the wrongs France had
suffered at the hands of the Germans.
In March, 1913, Clemenceau and the
Foreign Minister united in message
to the people of the United States de-
claring that France never would
sheathe the sword until Alsace- Lor-
Ia ne was restored to her.
M. Pichon has always been a warm
friend of the United States, and for
sires was for community of good
will' between France, England and
America. On March 4, 1911, respond
ing to a toast at a luncheon given in
his honor by American and British
correspondents in Paris, he said:
During my long and difficult years
as Foreign Minister | have labored
constantly to solidify the friendship
between France, the United States and
Great Britain. | am not entitled to
any great merit in doing this, because
how could | have been blind enough
to act otherwise? There exists be-
tween England, the United States. and
France so marked an identity of as-
pirations and solidarity of interests
that it would be chimerical to seek
to separate these grand peoples, who

MEMBER OF FACULTY DESCRIBES II m
CLASSICAL LANGUAGE.

HEBRON, MAINE, July 80, 1919.
Editor Desoerat:
I an prompted to writs you, askinf
that you print this letter where all who
run may read. / say run and not ride
for he who has had tho misfortune t.
ride over the road about which I An
moved to write you 10 in no physical
condition to read even the headlines oil
the Boston American. But on second
thought perhaps ought to have said
that he who reads may run. At least
that Is what the writer will have to dc
when the good town fathers of Paris see
this epistle.
For the past two months have en-
joyed the rare-or rather raw-privilege
OF riding over the so-called road from
Hebron to Paris, not with chassis and
spark plug, but with the more sedate
and safer conveyance Of chaise and old
plug. Twice . week for two months
have agonized over this ride, . ride
which only lnnatic or an idiot would
attempt twice. Q. E. D. / am?
used 10 read in good old Fenimore
Cooper about virgin land that had not
felt the hand OF man. Indeed that road
from Hebron to Paris IL such. In its
pristine glory II is superior to the de-
spelling touch Of road machine or King
drag, nor has the offending bush-scythe
marred the beauty Of its verdsnt per-
iphery.
Holes! What holesl Not even the
Bible Is more holy. That road ought to
lead, a. il does, from the namesake of
the light and convivial capital of France
to that religiously sedats hamlet where
Abraham tended his f1ocks by night. o,
Mr.. Road Commissioner, for the sake of
tradition and religious Pilgrim zeal,
pray thee spare those holes.
Sandl There are stretches OF IL on that
lovely road that would try the soul of q
Twin Six, but would spur to ecstasy the
infant hearts Of six twins.
Though try to sing the praises Of this
highway, have no language with which
to describe that summa cum laude of Its
wonders, that sine qua non of its gran
Hill. As I descend from
its majestic summit, ! am reminded Of
the potent words of Virgil: "Decensus
in Arvenum facile est" And believe
me, il Is an Avernus of hill. Most Of
our Oxford hills have surface of gravel,
but Pratt Hill 10 quite unique with its
splendid covering of cobble stones. Yet
withal appears one serious defect. Some
one-Jupiter Pluvius probably-neg-
lected to cement these stones together,
with the result that they roll treacher-
ously beneath the feet of my descending
equine.
But enough, All roads lead to Rome.
But they couldn't have been like our
Hebron Paris road, or else Virgil and
Horace and Ovid would certainly have
louder sung their praises in undying
elegiscs.
