PIECE OF LOWER TYROL
is GIVEN TO ITALY
Serious Question Presented by One
Feature Of Peace Treaty with
Austria.

Paris, May l3--In the Austrian
peace treaty, which is now rapidly an.
preaching completion, responsible.
ty clause has been inserted similar to
that of the German treaty except the
omission of the first clause which pro.
vides for the trial of the former Ger.
man emperor. The remaining sec.
tions of the clause make provision for
the trial by international court mar.
tial of military offenders.
The frontier delimitation Of the
new country of Austria presents one
serious question somewhat similar to
that pertaining to the Saar valley in
the German treaty. This Is as re-.
CARDS lower Tyrol n section of which
is detached from Austria and placed
within the boundaries Of Italy. Il in.
cludes the cities OF Bozen and Meran
with an estimated German population
Of quarter million.
The reason for this absorption of
Austrian territory is to establish a
strategic frontier for Italy and give
that country adequate protection
against invasion from the north.

BILL PREPARED
FOR ASSEMBLING
CONGRESS SOONER
Would Make March Is Begin
ming of New Congress
IT is LIKELY TO PASS
This Reform Proposal Has Been
Brought About by Wilson'S Fall
ure to Call Early Session

Washington, May 12.-When the
66th Congress meets in extra session
on May 10, a movement will be
launched to change the meeting
date of each newly-elected Congress.
Representative Clifton Nesmith Nc
Arthur, a Republican from the Port
land, Oregon, district, now about to
begin his third term in Congress, will.
next Monday, introduce bill to
change the date.
The bill, which has been brought to
the attention of a number of members
of Congress who have pledged them
selves that each elected Congress
shall hold its first session on March
Immediately following its election.
At present a Congress elected in No
vember does not meet until December
Of the following year, unless called
into session sooner by the President
Mr.. Macarthur holds that the count
ry has grown to such an extent that
two sessions to a Congress. one short
and the other long, are not sufficient
to properly handle the nations busi,
ness. The recent refusal of the
President to call the Congress into
extra session after the fourth OF
March, following the failure of i'm
portant appropriation and Legislature
measures, left Congress helpless as
to the matter of its own meeting
Mr. Arthur feels that legislature
should be enacted to obviate the re.
currence of such a condition.
When Mr.. Macarthur broached his
plan to some members they seemed to
think Constitutional amendment
was necessary. But he assured them
the change could be made by statute
The Constitution provides:
Article l, Section w., Paragraph
D.: The Congress shall assemble al
least once in evei - year, and sucf
meeting shall be on the first Monday
in December, unless they shall, by
law, appoint a different day.
Mr.. Macarthur holds that this para
graph expressly confers on Congress,
the power to enact legislation fixing
the day for the meeting of Congress
The precedents were consulted, ant
it was found that the First Congress!
bl law appointed for its second meet
ing a day later than the day hxeC

WoMsNs DRESS IMMORAL
Or. Richards Stirred the Wrath of a
Woman's Club

. Sthb
Atlantic City. N. j., May 12.-The
State Federation of Women's Clubs
of New Jersey rustled angrily out of
the convention hall after the closing
session yesterday shocked and consid-
erably irritated over the remarks of
Dr. Florence N. Richards, who came
from Philadelphia to speak on social
problems and confined herself almost
exclusively to condemnation of cur
rent styles OF womens dress. DR..
Richards had even more to say about
what she termed the general con-
duct of her sex.
Spooning, the new dances. the bath
ing suit, and the decollete gown were
passed under review by DR.. Richards
and fragrantly arrayed as symptoms
of the particularly immoral era.
Mothsrr who let their daughters wear
gowns that expose their shou lers
ought to be punished, Dr. Richards
held. The gowns are indecent, tight
skirts are immodest the new dances
immoral, and bathing suits were i'm
mentionable lc'1a
DR. Richards is medical director of
the William Penn high school for girls
IN Philadelphia and a lecturer for the
social hygiene branch of the war
work council. When she had finished
her analysis of feminine finery she
offered her program for the present
social situation, which was for par
ents to give their children instruction
in sex problems.

evening last night by the Bates Musi-
cal company. The aggregation is not

an active bunch. too. and it tackled
its work as though it was getting as
much fun out of it as the audience.

good combination Of voices and
some of the work had an original
streak in it that resulted in repeated
encores

LETTER FROM r. E. HAYES
Sandeate Boy with Motor Division Of
Army of Occupation.

Charles ID. Bentley of Sandgate has
received a letter from Private f. R.
Hayes, a Sandgate boy who at the
time the letter was written, April 2,
was at Bassenheim, a small village
near Coblenz
Private Hayes writes that he had
some expectations Of coming home in
January but orders ito organize the
18th provisional motor company of
auto drivers for service with the. army
OF occupation blasted all such
hopes. The trucks were from
December "a to January making the
journey from the tank center to Cob
lenz. 1t was slow work, writes Pri-
vate Hayes, but the scenery along
the route was beautiful. The route
led through the Moselle valley, fam
ous for its vineyards and Moselle
wine.
Since reaching their station the
mechanics have been busily engaged
in overhauling German trucks and
the writer says that they belong in
the junk heap. They are equipped
with steel tires and are slow travellers.
In order to increase the speed of the
trucks the drivers would take off the
governors but then IL not carefully
watched the engines would burn out,
Private Hayes insists that he would
rather have one Liberty motor than
so German trucks.
Private Hayes writes that he has
visited the palace of the former Kais-
er at Coblenz and describes It a beau
tiful structure with many paintings
on the interior walls. The structure
is located about two miles out OF
Coblenz on the river Rhine and on an
elevation OF about four hundred feet
The writer has had his ride on the
celebrated river going as far as
Bingen.
The writer is In hopes that he will
be able to visit the cathedral in Co
logne before returning home and
some OF the other more important
cities in France. He lost a trip by
truck to ST. Nazaire in France be
cause he was in hospital i'll of diph
iberia.

BITTER CRITICISM

Journalist Says, the United States
Is the Prussia Of Tomorrow


Rio Janeiro, Sunday. May 11.-An
attack upon the United States is made
by Manerios de Albuquerque, general
" considered one of the leading journ-
alists of Brazil. in a long interview
printed to-day in A Noite.
Senior Albuquerque, who has just
arrived from the United States, says
81 return from the United States
with much enthusiasm for England,
Italy, France, Belgium Japan and
perhaps above all, Mexico" He ac-
cuses the United States, of "foment-
ing revolutions in Mexico" and says
that Brazil is considered by the
United States only as n possible fut-
ure colony He adds
"The United States wants to obtain
as part of the payment of the debt of
France and England a bond for
Brazll's debt to those powers. On the
day this is realized Brazil will be
sold to the United States, which on
the first occasion we fail to meet the
interest will do us as she has done to
Central American nations"
Senior Albuquerque belittles the
part the United States took in the war
saying that the only American vic.
tory was the battle at St. Michel,
which he says, was gained with Eng.
lish artillery and French aviation, %
and attacks the censorship which he
remarks has prevented these, the
actual facts becoming known. He
attacks the Monroe Doctrine and Pres.
ident Wilson, rediculing the Pres.
idents activities in the peace con
ference. He concludes by saying.
"The United States incontestibly Is
the Prussia OF Tomorrow"
