ITALIANS TO RETURN TO PARIS AT ONCE
Big Subscription
Is Small One If
Made at Sacrifice

Says Arthur Brisbane in The Atlant
Georgian:
There is complaint concerning
SMALL subscriptions to the Vic
tory Loan. There is no such
thing as a SMALL subscription,
unless it be small in proportion to
the subscribers wealth.
The small subscription patriot
ically made is the BIG subscrip.
tion. For it means sacrifice and
difficult planning, not merely sign
ing a name to check.
1t is to be hoped that this last,
BEST loan will be more conspic-
uous than any of the others for the
number of BIG subscriptions
made with SMALL sums of money.
When this loan is over it will be
too late to regret not having taken
part in the patriotic cleaning up
process.
Men died in millions during the
war. Fifty thousand Americans
died, other thousands were wound
ed. The man who makes the big
little subscription because he can
not do more is the most important
subscriber. His subscription says

ITALY'S STATUS AS WORLD
POWER IN QUESTION.

" UER IN ROEDIlONs
PARIS, May 4.-(Sunday. .)-(By AS
sociated Press.) THE status of Italy
as one of the five great powers has
been brought into question by her
withdrawal from the peace conference
and it is this status which is proving
powerful lever in inducing Italy to
accept the invitation of the Council of
Three to resume her place at the
peace table.
President Wilson, Premier Clemen-
ceau and Premier Lloyd George, COM
posing the Council of Three, yesterday
sent communication to the Italian
government inviting it to. resume its
place at the peace conference.
The councils invitation is of such a
nature that it is believed Italy will
accept it, and that the relations tenn
porarily broken by the recent depar-
ture from Paris of Premier Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino will be
restored by the presence of Italian
delegates at the conference before the
treaty is delivered to the German dele
gates.
The Council of Three considered the
Italian situation in its deliberations
during the past two days and finally
determined upon an initiative of the
friendliest nature. The terms of the
communication to the Italian govern
ment have not been disclosed, but it is
believed they seek to remove the per-
sonal element of the controversy and
to pave the way for territorial read
justment when the relations are re-
sumed.
Maj. Florello III. La Guardia, mem
ber of the United States house of rep
resentatives from New York, who is an
Italian by birth, after seeing Col
House today, said he believed the en-
tire Italian question could be settled
within 4S hours. He added he was urg-
ing that pride should not stand in the
way of Italy accepting the first over
ture made from Paris.

at the trial that the PLAINTIFF was an

the court held that the plaintiff could

In appealing the case the attorney
for the plaintiff said:
'iIf this. decision is upheld by the
Supreme Court II will have the effect
of making Torrens certificates OF very
questionable value. The Torrens law
provides that a Torrens certificate can
not be questioned, and In rendering
Judgment for the defendant Judge

QUESTIONS VALIDITY
OF TORRENS LAW
California Judges Ruling
Makes Certificates Worth
Doubtful.

The following incident shows how de-
sirable 1t is to have the title to a piece
Of land insured by a responsible COM
pany. even when the title has been
certified by the county or State under
the Torrens system. In a case against
the Pacific Light and Power Company
recently tried before him, Judge Lewis
r Works Of Los Angeles county. Cali
tornia, rendered q decision which u
upheld by the high court will have the
effect Of annulling the Torrens law Of
California.
After the power company had pur-
chased a right OF way across some land
owned by Charles Bogart, and had re-
corded the deed and gone into possess
sion of the land, Mr.. Bogart placed his
property under the Torrens law, falling
to mention the interest of the power
company. He later sold the property
at Its full market value. After pur-
chasIng the property the interest OF the
power company was discovered, and
when the power company refused to
