Dall'Easton Express di Easton-

notizie sulla fuga del banchiere
Gaetano GugliuZza di Quella cit
Ia che. come dicemmo mel nume-

Al piu sembro nverosimile
che, pTeceduto da ottima reputa-
zione, conservatola per oltre un
decennio di residenza, il signor
Gugliuzza avesse potuto venir

nazionali, motif americani. ave-
Vano ripOsta in lui.
Ma, tant'e: Gaetano Gugliuz-
IA e sparito ed ha portato seco
il denaro che poveri operai 10
avevano depositato nella sua
banca 0 che gil avevano aff-
dato per spedirlO in Italia.
Come e abitudine della stampa
americana di esagerare sempre i
fatti nostri, essa ia ascendere il
denaro sparito ALA somma di 100
mila dollari solo nella citta di
Chester, oltre a 65 mila i'm Ea-
stOn. Non avendo information
piu precise di quelle che ci forni-
see P"Easton Express, non pos
siamo contraddire questo gior-
male; crediamo pero che le cifre
siano esageratissime.
Dicesi che il Gugliuzza, per
maggiormente attirare clienti
e volendo realizzare il piu che
poteva, abba dato un'alta per-
centuale sui cambio. Questo fat
to di dare piu di quanto il dolla-
70 e quotato sui mercato, e uno
del sintomi infallibili che il BAN
chiere non 81 trOva in condizioni
di far fronte agli impegni ed al
lora, o cerca un grande incasso,
per tenere in movimento la sua
azienda, 0 significa che sta pre-
parando le valige piene per un
viaggio di piacere al Canada.
COSl pare STA avvenuto per Gae-

THE DUBLIN ATTACKS.

Just how well organized are those who have twice made attacks upon Viscount. French in Dublin can only be surmised by the determination with which tho demonstrations have been made. Death has occurred eacn time although the lord lieutenant of ireland escaped each time.
 It is to be presumed that those who are participating in these affairs. des- pite the way in which they have been widely denounced by press and pulpit are among the most radical of those who are involved in the effort to make Ireland independent. Apparently the Intention is to kill Viscount FrencH an Irishinan himself and Q prominent British leader in the recent war, but just how that would work to the ben eft of their cause is difficult to un- derstand since there are others who would take his place as lord lieuten- ant of Ireland and continue to repre- sent Great Britain there. And it ism to be supposed that Viscount French or Great Britain are going to be IT Ak5lAbSAtCo ny tHeSS ueulOHSlTdIlOnS which also included the demolition O. a newspaper in Dublin which de. uounced the first attack.
 Rather is it likely, that these ac. tivitfes will simply mean the institu lion of stricter measures for dealins with this very, class. The resort t, guerilla warfare in this manner is no likely to contribute very much of favorable nature to the adjustment o the Irish problem. And at the sam time it makes all the more ridicuiou the report that an investigator ha. Just brought to the effect that every hing in Ireland IS as peaceful as May morning.
 The enthusiasm of these radical: leaders as well as the actual gunner IS likely to prove most unhealthy fo them and non- beneficial for tn Emerald Isle.

RETURNING THE SHIPS,

In view of the manner in which this country secured them it is difficult to see how any other disposition than the one ordered could have been made hy this country of the seven remain Ing German passenger ships. These ships were the acquired property of Great Britain. In order to facilitate the return of our troops that country loaned the ships to the United States with the understanding that they N'2e to be returned when our use for thSfh as transports had been com pleted. We were therefore duty bound 10 see that the ships were returned. The In1perator after some delay was placed in the hands of the Cunard line and in view of our obligation and the fact that the ships were not in use when shipping is needed the only proper course was to turn back the others.
 In taking the action which was or dered by the president we have hon orably carried out our part of an agreement. The idea of holding the ships had to do with the dozen tank ITS that were seized under the belief that they were German vessels, but which as a matter of fact are the property of the Standard Oil compan, of this country. Thus far this coun try has not been assured that these ships will be returned to the rightfu owners, and 1t was contended that WI should hold the British ships until the tankers, which are anchored ir British waters, were released.
 That might have been a sensible policy if the possession of the tank CTS rested with the British instead O tho supreme council, but such doesn' appear to be the case for the protes of this country against the tanker being German property and the ap peal for their return to their Ameri can owners are awaiting decision b. the supreme council.
 We have cleared ourselves, how ever, of any injustice to the British after they had given us material as sistance by loaning the ships. W abandoned the idea of holding ther as hostages until our case was settle 10 avoid idleness. and it is to be re alized that the same thoughtfulnes regarding the idle tankers would b timely.

BACK FROM ABROAD,

Just what was expected is happen ing regarding the large number of those people who picked up stakes and started for their native land just as soon as the avenue was opened and steamship accommodations could be secured. There were thousands who were anxious to go back to Europe for various reasons but the anticipa- ton that they would return here has begun to be realized in the arrival in New York of several hundred Italians who were among the first to leave for Italy.
 After what Italy had gone through, as the result of the war because of the lack of information regarding rel atives and friends which was not like ly to be secured in any other way, be- cause of the funds which many of them wanted to have put to certain uses and be sure of it, because of the interruption in travel caused by the war which caused many to delay their intended visits and because some undoubtedly thought that there would be especially attractive advan- Nages to bs gained in the period of re-

In view of the probable issue of 5s. currency notes in the near future it is interesting to speculate in what place the silver crown pieces are hidden.
 Anyone possessing one of these un- wieldy coins might keep it as a SOUL venir. for no crown pieces are ever likely to be issued again. None has been struck during the reign of King George ", it being more than 20 years since the last 5s. piece was made.
 Women Boxers.-The growing pop ularity of the manly art' nhkes us wonder if some of our athletic women will now give an exhibition of their boxing skill. Such bouts were quite popular less than a couple of centur- ies ago, and the challenges sent out by some of these Amazons now make interesting reading, as, for example, in 1721, when Ann Field, a Stoke New Ington ass-driver, challenged Mrs Stokes, European championess," for a purse of { 10, flair rise and fall"
 To this the ''championess' replied "As the famous Stoke Newington ass woman dares me to fight her for ten pounds, do assure her I will not fai meeting her for the said sum. and doubt not that the blows which I shal III SScIll IOI Nil1 VIII B6 I1OTG G1f11Cuil for her to digest than any she ever gave her asses" As Portia would say Good sentences and well pro- nouneed."

imbibe the spirit of America who has not had it thoroughly instilfed into him in his youth. Personally, I was born and educated in a community which was absolutely free from foreign influence of every kind With several generations back of me reared in the United States, it would be impossible to escape understanding the ideal of 100 per cent. Amerlcanisn. I was taught that the Declaration of Tnde- pendence was a real and vital factor 'n American life which by no stretch of the imaginntiou could in any shane or form be abridged. I was also taught that the first amendment to the con- stltution was the vital groundwork of all our laws which made this country different from all other nations namely. a free country. I believed those thin9s then; l believe them now. At the present time a new factor has crept in which threatens the very foundation of our free America. and that is falsehood. Disseminate the truth among all the people of this Tinted States and the people can be depended upon to do the correct thing. Then bolshevism. radicals, reds or any other scare heads will cease to carry any terror to the heart of true American.

 A Great Song Wrfter.-on the 11th of this month MT. Fred F. Weatherly, the famous song writer, is to be en- tertained by group of composers and publishers at dinner, when he will receive presentation and no doubt listen to the speeches suited to such an occasion.
 The occasion will be his jubilee as a song writer. It will be an interesting one, because it is doubtful if ever be- fore in English history has there lived man who for fifty years has written sings that have been sung with feIvor
 by generation after generation, as he himself has survived the singers. He
 has caught the spirit of each, from Nancy Lee and The MidshipTnite to Roses in Picardy and the gramo- phone
 He is 7i, and one cannot remember having seen his potrait in a picture paper. He was a successful law coach at Oxford, and is today 8 very suc- eessful barrister. He looks as young as ever he did, and has probably stir red the pools of sentiment as has no other man in his time.

WOOD ALCOHOL.

Commissioner Roper of the internal revenue department realizes the necessity of taking prompt action in securing new legislation concerning the sale and use of wood alcohol. It has been realized for years that such alcohol was being used when grain alcohol could not be ob- tained, even though there are plenty of cases ito prove that those who drink it knowingly are simply com hitting suicide.
 It does not appear that the deaths in the Connecticut valley can be at tributed to any willingness on the part of the drinkers to defy the effects of wood alcohol. Everything points to the fact that they supposed they were drinking real whiskey. Knowl- edge of the fact that the liquid was anything else or that it was for the most part wood alcohol was apparent ly possessed only by the makers. There can be little question but what they knew what they were doing and that they acquired and used the poi son for the purpose of providing a substitute for the real thing. Wheth- CT 1t would be possible to prove that they knew that the liquid was a dead ly poison when taken internally is an other thing, but they of any who han deld it were in all probability the only ones who were familiar with the contents.
 Just as long as wood alcohol bears that name it Is likely to be substituted for grain alcohol. Restrictions rela- tive to its sale would doubtless give valuable protection and its dangers are getting the publicity that is re- quired at this very time. How long it will last no one can tell. Like g good many other lessons Of a like na- ture it is likely to be forgotten before the year rolls around.
 Wood alcohol is resorted to because of the name it bears. Inasfnueh as the word alcohol is used the impress sion is gained that it can be used as base for whiskey. It would there fore appear to be a wise move to SC change the name of the liquid that i
 would not be associated with alcohol

THE TREATY DIVISION.

Interest continues keen in the sen ate on the question of the treaty. There is activity both among those who favor the ratification with slight changes in the Lodge reservations and there is growing evidence of the desire on the part of the democrats who have been standing for ratifica- ton without any reservations to see the document ratified under the best possible arrangement that can be per fected. From all indications the res crvationists and those who are said to be leaning that way among the democrats are not so far apart as they have thought in the past.
 senator Lenroot, who has been showing increased interest in the treaty matter. has let it be known that it will be ratified whenever the dem ocrats agree to accept reservations strong enough to protect American interes.s. and these it should be un- derstood arc the interests possessed by us previous to the war and not acquired by us as the result of the war.
 Among the democrats there is an unedsiness as the result of the failure to dispose of the document. There is q realization of the position in which they have been placed by the obe- dience to the presidential letter and the inclination to escape from that position is growing. The entrance of Senator Underwood into the fight for democratic leadership in the senate is showing it's effects in the efforts to secure a compromise on the treaty.
 Within the next few days, as the re- suit of the sentiment that seems to be prevailing, it will not cause surprise # definite steps are taken to get to- gether on the part of the democrats and as the result thereof get an un- derstanding with the reservatfonists who are willing to yield possibly or phraseology or certain other points whereby There can be an agreement relative to the passage of the treaty II # can he cleared up within the mex few weeks it should be for the sakt pf the other Important legislative questions before congress.

the thousands who left

construction the thousands who left these shores were drawn abroad.
 Some will never come back. Some never intended to stay in Italy and some were prepared to base their de- cisien relative to returning upon the conditions found. Just what class these who have returned to this coun- try belong in is unknown but it is ev- ideht that they did not find the sit uation there 50 alluring that they were anxious to remain and in all probability there will be hundreds if not thousands more who left this country for Italy following the war who will gradually make their way back to the land of opportunity. And what is true of Italy. is likely to be true of other countries, so much so that the detrimental effect upon the labor situation here. which was threatened by their going, will not continue for long.
