FOR REVISION 0F CONTRACTS
Piez Discusses Desirahility of Changing Present
 Plans.

Philadelphia, March 21.---An an nouncement was made her today that Charles Piez, head of the United States Shipping Board, of the Elmer gency Fleet Corporation, in a confer ence at Washington with Pacific Coast ship builders, discussed with them the desirabiity of a. revision of it was stated, the government will se- tions of costs as are due to the in creased efficiency of the yards.
 During the conference MT. Piez dwelt upon the fact that his views ap- piled to those yards that had been increased in efficiency at the time this country entered the war and thus had not only competent, efficient manage ment, but the nucleus of an efficient yard and shop organization.
 The yards created during the war Mir. Piez was told, have found it diff fcult to make ends meet, because they were hampered by high plan construction costs and by the neces sity of building up 8, working forcs out of wholly green and ineEperienC ed men.
 MT. P1ez stated that 8, big westerT yard with a contract for twelve 8, 80O-ton ships is reported to havt gone into the hands of a receiver, thi. being the third to take this step. ThiI incident, he said, is but a. reflection of the conditions that exist in somt of the newly created shipyards

 I told her the strange story, as swiftly and simply as possible. speak ing scarcely above a whisper, feeling as progressed that I related a dream rather than 8 series of facts. It seemed to me she could scarcely be ex- pected to believe the truth of what I said, and yet she did, almost unques- tioningIy, the clasp of her fingers per ceptibly tightening as I proceeded. She sat so close beside me that l could feel her breath upon my cheek.
 "Why, Tiff you had not told me this yourself I could hardly believe such a tale" she exclaimed. "Yet it must be true, miraculous as it seems. But what is to be the ending? Have you any plan of escape?"
 Hardly a plan. I have had no op- portunity even to learn the true na- ture of the crew. Watkins is an hon.

WAR VETERANS
 MAY ORGANIZE
Favorable Report in State Senate on Measure Spon-
 sored by Military Men.

Hartford, Conn, March 21-The nucleus of an association of veterans of the present war along the lines of the veteran associations of other wars is seen in a, favorable report to the Senate today on the bill to incorporate the veteran soldiers, sailors and ma rines association for mutual relief and benefit. Among the incorporators are Morgan G. BuIkley, Jr., who Tough t in France, General Lucien F. Burpee and Colonel Benedict M. Holden of the military emergency board, and Major William J. Malone of Bristol, who is in the United States Air service. Most of the other incorporators are Hartford men.
 A bill to reconstitute the State guard as Connecticut National Guard was reported by the military affairs committee. In brief the bill provides for the functioning and ad- ministration of the National guard un- til such time as the Federal govern nfent passes 3, national militia law, or some military measure which will cover what was formerly the home defense forces. The bill does not state what the guard shall consist of in arms of service or strength but continues the military emergency board and the state guard under the National Guard title. It practically restores the former law. The mat ter of exemptions from service are also stated,

Italy Threatens To
 Leave Conference

(Conunued From Page One.)
 city is the second principal seaport on the eastern side of the Adriatic. Recent reports have been that the Italian representatives were manifest ing q. disposition to make important concessions regarding the land along the DaImation coast, provided that the city and harbor of Plume re- mained to Italy. The Jugo-SIavs, however, have been insistent that this port be allotted to them claiming it to be essentially q, Croatian city and necessary to the new Jugo-Slav state as affording the only feasible 1itaible sea outlet for her commerce.
 On the other hand, Italy has shown
 no disposition to yield her point so
 far as Plume was concerned. Her
 attitude was officially stated by Pre-
 mier Orlando in addressing the ItaI- ian Cham mber of Deputies on March l,
 when he declared that while Italy
 remained faithful to the spirit of
 conciEatfon which inspired the treaty
 upon which Italy entered the war ,''
 that it did not mean that ske could
 remain insensiDIe to the appeal
 reaching her from the Italian town
 on the Gulf of Quarrero, CF'iume)
 which was exposed to the loss of
 both it's nationality and independ- ence, We do not think" added the
 premier, that this is possible at the
 very moment when it is wished that
 the world may be redeemed from a memory Of violence done to the rights Of peoples
 There have been several incidents
 at Plume and other points in the ter ritory claimed by both Italy and Jugo-
 SIavia, since the signing of the arm
 istice, and the feud at one time grew so bitter that Italy established a blockade and cut off food relief i'm
 ports for the interior. This matter
 was adjusted by the Supreme Coun- cil in Paris. however, and recent re- ports have indicated that an amicable settlement of the conflicting Italian
 Jugo -SIav claims was possible.
 Just what has caused the Italian delegation to announce its determina- ton on the Plume question at this time has not been developed in the Paris advices. It is known, however, that the question of territorial adjust ments has been for the conferences of
 premiers which have been joking place during the past day or two. An Associated Press despatch re- 1 ceived last night from Paris regard | Ing conference neld yeStefday De- l tween President Wilson and Premiers l CIemenceau and Lloyd George stated 1 that there was every reason to believe 1 that the frontier issues were among 1 the foremost obstacles which the con | ferees were seeking to remove from the path to a rapid conclusion of the 1 Peace Treaty.
 Plume, before the war, was the 1 chief seaport of the Hungarian king dom. It has several harbors, and its l position and facilities made it the seal
 of virtually the entire shipping trade | of Hungary It had an ante-beIIun 1 population of nearly 10000.

RUSSIAN PRESS
 IS SPHERICAL

VIadivostok, Monday. March IT. The comment of the Russian press in Vladivostok on the League of Nations is satiricaI, pointing to the results of Allied occupation of Siberia as an ob- ject lesson. The Allies, the newspa- pers say, had decided to restore order and good government to Russia and sent detachments of troops with no good results, owing to the impossibil- ity of an agreement over the methods to be followed. The real result, they declare, is loss of Allied prestige in Russia.
 A grave instance pointed to is the transportation problem, as yet un- touched, it is declared, owing to the difficulties of Allied agreement, the railway situation in the meantime growing worse weekly.
 The situation in the country is gen. erally worse than last autumn, and Bolshevik sentiment apparently is growing in Siberia.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR
 NEW CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT

 CHAPTER XVI.
In Dorothy's stateroom.

I stood crouched, with eye at the crack watchful of every movement in the lighted cabin, my own decision made. I must see and talk with Dor othy Gunsaules turned down the light and departed along the passage lead ing amidshfps A moment later heard the sound of dishes grinding to- gether preparatory to being washed. No better opportunity for action was likely to occur, although the situation was not without peril. I crept along close to the side walls, lifted the latch noiselessly, and slipped quickly within. There was no light, except a glimmer of stars through a large after port, but against this faint radiance she stood vaguely revealed. Her first thought must have been Estada, for there was startled note in her chal- lenge.
 '.'Who are you? Why do you come here?"
 Speak 1ow,' I cautioned fYou must know my voice."
 "Geoffry Car1yle!''
 "Yes, but do not use that name-all hope depends on my remaining un- known You welcome mel"
 She came straight forward through the dim star shine. a spectral figure. with both hands oUtstretched.
 "WeIconne !' her tone that of intense sincerity. "Your presence gives me all the strength have. But for you I should throw myself through that port into the sea. But I know not how you came here-teIl me, you are l not one of these wretches2"
 ''No; you must believe that first of all, and trust me-"
 'T do--but-but tell me all you can.' .''
 "Is there a divan here, or anywhere we can sit down together? l can see nothing in this darkness"
 "Yes; hold my hand while I gutde l you; we can sit here.' It was Q couch of some kind against the outer wall. She did not release her grasp, seemingly gaining courage from this physical contact. and my fin gezn ctcaed warmly oyer her eEns ;,

 Her eyes dropped, and could dis tinctly note the trembling of her slen- der figure. When she slowly raised her glance once more 1t rested on my face as though seeking approval, guid- ance.
 "If there be only the one choice" she said quietly. T accept peace. I cannot live locked In that room alone haunted by my thoughts and memo ries. If I pledge you my word, senor, am I to enjoy the freedom O this cabin and the deck2"
 Estada looked at us, a shade of doubt in his eyes. I made no sign, but Manuel nodded.
 ''Why not?' he asked in his harsh croak of a voice. ''SO long as we be at sea? What harm can the girl do?"
 Perhaps none; I will take a half chance, at least. You shall have the freedom of the cabin. So long as you keep your word, while as to the deCS, we will consider that later. Prove you mean what you say by joining us here"
 My recollection of that meal Is not of words but of faces. Estada's eyes sought constantly the girls face, and to my consternation exhibited an in- terest in her personality which prom ised trouble. l know mt whether she noticed this awakening admiration, but she certainly played her part with quiet modesty- I believe that even the Portuguese reached the conclusion that she was not altogether regretfuI
 
 for him to relax some degree of vigil lance. His manner became more gra- cious, and long before the meal ended his language had a tendency to com pliment and fatter. I contented my self with occasional sentences. The young woman sat directly across from me, our words overheard by all, and as I knew both men possessed some slight knowledge of English dare not venture beyond commonplace conver- sation in that tongue. With quick wit she took her cue from me, so that nothing passed between us, either by word of mouth or glance of eye, to arouse suspicious.
 Believing the feeling of confidence would be increased by such action, was first to leave the table, and it be- ing my watch below immediately re- tired to my room, noisily closing the door after me, yet refraining from let ting the latch catch, thus enjoying 8 slight opening through which to both see and hear. Manuel did not finger long, making some excuse to go for ward, but Estada remained for some time, endeavoring to entertain. His egotism made a fool of the man, yet even he finally became discouraged of making her comprehend his meanin~, and Iapsed into a silence which gave her an excuse to retire. This was ac- complished so graciOusly as to leave no sting. the fellow actually accom- panying her to the door of her state ! room, lowing his compliments as she 1 disappeared within. The fool actu- 1 ally believed he had made a conquest ! and preened himself like a turkey l cock.
 i "Gunsaules, you need not lock the 1 senorita in her room or guard her in ! any way hereafter. She is permitted to come and go as she pleases aboard
 Estada entered his own staterOom, leaving the door ajar. When he came out he had exchanged his coat for a rough jacket. Thus attired for a turn on deck, he disappeared through the companion.
