WILSON'S STAND
 GREAT SURPRISE
Declares Daily Mail Com menting on Recent
 Conference.

London, Jan. Recommending up- on the conference between Premier Orlando of Italy and President Will son last Friday, the Paris correspon- dent of the Daily Mail says that per sons in touch with the Italian mission declare the Premier was surprised at MT. Wilson's attitude.
 President Wilson was firm in his refusal to recognize Italian claims be- yond Trieste and Trent" the cores pondent writes. Foreign Minister Sonnino of Italy demands an import ant part of the Dalmatian coast, as well as the Ffume, while Premier Or lando would be content to give up the Dalmation coast if sure of Plume. It is reported that even on this point MT. Wilson was unwilling to give way.
 While the majority of the innasr- tants of Plume are Italian, that port is the natural outlet for the Austrian Slavs. It is therefore claimed that a few thousand Italians in Plume are not to be balanced against the needs for sea outlet for millions of Slavs. It is pointed out that the commercial necessities of the Jugo- -Slavs demand an outlet to the Adriatic and that if Italy ignores those necessities she may incur the enemity of those popu- lattons and create a new danger to the peace of Europe.
 Ut is supposed that President Will son does not consider that Plume, as free port in Italian hands, would | meet the needs of the Jugo-Slav hin- i terland."

BECKFORD WANTS
 FARMERS AWAKE

Burlington, Vt, Jan. 1.---Fred IT. Bichford of Bradford, president of the Vermont Dairyrnen's association and a member of the state board of agTf- culture. told the farmers in attend ance at the annual meeting of the as sociation here yesterday that 1t was time the Vermont farmer woke Up. 'The greatest need of Vermont is not mere knowledge, but to put into prac- tice what we already have. I claim that no man has just right to be considered in the fixing of the price of milk unless he can show how much 1t has cost him to produce that milk; 1; 75 per cent. of the farmers in my part of the state who claim they cannot afford to produce milk and butter at prevailing prices are using o1eomar- garine exclusively on their own ta- bies. Few farmers know enough about their business to give figures of how much 1t costs to do it.

ENTER HOME OF
 5. MIDDL. .EBRO0K

The residence of Stiles NJ Middle brook, superintendent of Warner Bros. company plant, at 2119 Park avenue was entered last night by thieves, and jewelry amounting to s200 and $29 in cash was taken.
 The robbery occurred between the hours of and 10 o'clock last night while all members of the household were absent. Members of the family returned home at 10 o'clock and found that every room in the house had been Vansa cked.
 It Is thought that ths burglars were disturbed in their work by the return of the family as one of the upper rooms of the house had been only about half searched, and a win dow opening on the roof of the yeraN da wes open. It is thought that the robbers escaped by going onto the roof of the varanda, and sliding down a post.
 A box containing a number of valu- able papers was taken. The matter was reported to the police shortly af- ter 10 o'clock, and an investigation followed, but no trace of the burg lars has been found
