START BASE BALL LEAGUE

A regular base ball league
will be started next week
among the permanent camp
units.
Plans are being formulated
also for a far more extensive
program of athletics than has
ever been attempted before in
the camp. 1t is not unlikely
that at least two afternoons
will be set aside each week for
sports, and that one of these
will not be Saturday, so as to
give the usual week end pass.

COL. YOUNG CALLS
FRENCH SYSTEM SHAM
Protected Vice Did Not Work Well
With American Soldiers, But
knowledge Did.

Col. Hugh II. Young, NJ. c.. said in
the Baltimore American recently:
The French system of licensed and
supposedly protected vice was
sham. In soldiers and civilians dis
ease was rampant. A million Ameri
can men were coming to France.
Drastic measures had to be taken
and at once.
Col. Young told the story simply.
At his side was Col. II. A. Hanigan,
who commanded the Saith Regiment
of the seth Division in France. and
who was In command of the 397th
troops abroad.
At the outset Gen. Pershing. with
his wonderful foresight, took an un-
usual interest in the problem Of pre-
yention of social diseases, said the
colonel. 1--WE realized what we were
I'D against, and we had the expert
ence of our allies staring US in the
face. Drastic measures and hard dis
cipline were imperative If we were

such disease was tried by court mar

this was very helpful, but only in
that it minimized the chances. Propa-

work. Their off-time and idle mo-

Then there was, of course, the most
important end of the problem, treat

this we had the full force Of the

ITALY NOT YET DECIDED
TO QUIT PEACE COUNCIL
IF FIUME Is DENIED TO
ITALIANS.
Barzilai Argues Tha: City Has
Declared for An
neXation,

Paris, April 5.-(A. P.)-Asked il
the Italians would leave the peace
conference If denied Fiume, Salvatore
Barzilai, former minister without
portfolio in the Italian cabinet and
one of the Italian peace delegates,
said today:
mo decision has been reached as
yet. but it is obvious the Italian del
egates feel they must follow the will
of the Italian people" t
He recalled that arter the collapse
of Austria and before the entry OF
Italian troops into the city of Fiume
that city had appointed national
council composed of 800 Of the most
prominent citizens. This council, ne
said, had called upon the public to
decide what form of government was
desired, the answer being plebiscite
in favor Of annexation to Italy. On
Wednesday, he said, the national
council of Fiume had unanimously
adopted law by which the city took
the Italian flag as the banner of the
city.
Best Proof of Wishes.
Signor Barzilai declared this was
the best proof of Fumes wishes to
be Joined to Italy under the Will
sonian policy of self determination,
and added that the Italian people ana
parliament. without distinction of
party. were determined that Fiume
should be a part of the kingdom.
Under the conditions" he asked,
sis it possible that in the question OF
Fiume or other important territorial
matters the Italian delegation in
Paris can separate itself from public
opinion at home and disregard what
the whole country demands?
"The question is whether Fiume is
to be Italian or not. The latter al
tentative would mean the destruction
of the Italian nationality of Fiume,
which is the nationality it has had
since it's foundation. No such solu-
ton was contemplated by any of Mr..

Next Week Determines. !

= IL
Paris, April SCI. N. S.)--Earle
this coming week will determint
whether the peace negotiations are
to be a failure or a success. Should
President Wilson completely recover
over the week lend. it Is probable that
he will insist upon q reply to his De-
mands from his fellow members on
the big four without any further a.
lay. These demands, members of the
American mission explained, are de-
signed to clarity the treaty proposale
and make possible the draft Of the
document without any further loaq
of time. ssy
Unless accepted. it Is possible th4t
President Wilson will not remain n
lent any longer. but will issue q pub
lie statement giving the attitude OK
the United States and an outline Of
his further plans.
King Albert, who returned to Brus-.
sells today, said before his departure
that he is satisfied with the result
OF his appeals to the big four yester-
day in behalf Of Belgium's claims.
The claims are acceptable. the king
said, but there had been modifica-
tion on the sum of money that Ger
many is to pay Belgium.
There was another conferences hs
the big four today, with Col. e. NJ,
House sitting in for President VII
son.
Pessimism Extreme.
The most pessimistic views re
garding an ultimate agreement on
the peace treaty continue to be hela
in practically every quarter. Thx
Italian complications are simply an
other spoke in the wheel Of Disagree
frents which is dividing the peace
delegates into rival camps. Only. the
firmest kind of action tomorrow wilt
prevent the conference from break.
ing up without reaching an aSree
ment. A A8 ~
The presidents position is that tI,t
United States win not accept my
peace reached by bargaining. insist
ing that peace of justice shall pre-
vail. So positive Is the president on
this stand that it is not believed he
will accept the proffered bargains
held out to Italy unless the agree
ment is satisfactory to the Jugo-
Slav peoples.
Discussing in plain words the pos
sibility of the present conferences no:
reaching an agreement certain Amer
lean leaders have suggested. that IL
may be necessary for the United
States delegates finally to proceed To-
Geneva and themselves settle Amer
ica's problems independently.
This possibility would only arise
in the event of a break making II
impossible for the allies to conciude
joint treaty.
