Dispute Between Italy and Aus
tria Over Art Collections.
Italians Particularly Anxious to Re-
Former Austrian Emperors
"Florentine GEN.

Vfenna.-A new turn has been given
to the dispute between Italy and Aug
tria owe art collections by the state
ment that former Emperor Charles has
carried off to Switzerland the imperial
jewels, the whole of which are regard
cd In Austria as being his private
property, but claims for which have
been filed by Italy, particularly the
Florentine diamond of 1873 1-S earats.
The italian commissioner, Professor
DAncona, has stated that this dia-
mond formed part of the collection left
to the city of Florence under the will
Of Anna Maria Medici, but that 1t was
carried off by the house Of Austria in
174S when Duque Leopold became en-
peror of Austria.
He said the Austrian government
had been notified Of Italian claims to
this Jewel months ago, and If 1t per-
mitted Emperor Charles to carry 1t
away 1t would be necessary to obtain
possession of 1t again. 1t is unknown
here whether the emperor has dispos-
ed Of the diamond while in Switzer-
land in order to pay his living en-
penses.
Professor D'Ancona has carefully
traced the history of this remarkable
stone which, legend relates, was lost
on the battlefield Of Granson by
Charles the Bold, duke Of Burgundy,
six centuries ago.
1t was picked up and believed to be
a piece Of glass and sold for a small
sum-. It found its way to Switzerland,
where 1t was sold for 1000 ducats to
the duke of Milan, and brought to
Rome In 1901 by Ferdinand Medlci.
It has been on exhibition Of late years
In the Hofburg museum.
Professor D'Ancona pointed out to
the Associated Press correspondent
that the Austrians cannot claim that
In surrendering this stone they would

mittee Of the Whole.
The following communication from
April 20, 1919.
Subject:-Proposed supplemental gem
Grating unit for Municipal Lighting
Plant, Perth Amboy, N. J.
VIM c. Wilson. Chairman,
Lighting Committee,
Perth Amboy. N. ].
Confirming statements made by Mr..
Runyon at a meeting of your commit
tee held last Thursday night for the
ject, the following ii subnitted:
The City has invested 5000, GEO. 90 in
e municipal electric lighting plant
which since Its completion in 1917 has
confined its output to street lighting.
The Plan cannot continue under this
limited operation and prove successful
from an economic standpoint as the
worth of equipment installed for the
purpose of furnishing electrical energy
for commercial purposes and the
charges against this investment now
bear wholly against street lighting.
The present operating force is not
employed to its full capacity the
adds again to the financial burden of
street lighting.
It is the desire of your committee to
tnaugurate commercial service and
realize upon the investment SO made
but you are confronted with two con
ditions making this impracticable,
First: With a surplus generating
capacity of about 100 K. w. it is APP
parentIy impossible to start CONNER
cial service with a connected load that
will insure a minimum station load
of 60 X. w. and
Second: The oil engines now INSTALL
ed will not operate satisfactorily ups
on a load less than this amount.
All new operations Of this character
must necessarily pass through the de-
v~elornlent period during which they
are operating at an economical disad-
vantage and the situation is in no way
changed because IL Is the municipality
and not private enterprise conducting
the undertaking.

Divisions in Europe
May Put Dictator Role
on Wilson, Shaw Says
May Be Forced to Act as Master of Situation
Rather Than as Negotiator and Con-
ciiator, He Says, in Wonderful
Tribute to President

London, Feb. 4.-Divisions in the in
ternal affairs of Europe, reflected as
they are in the United States. will
tax Mr.. Wilson's diplomacy to the
limit, and possibly may drive him to
the point at which he may have to
act as master of the situation rather
than as negotiator and conciliator.
Coalitions which the war has pro-
duced in all the allied countries have
had to make a common profession OF
adherence of militarism and autoc-
racy. and of an ardent desire TO
make the world safe for democracy"
But all the coalitions contain ele-
ments well knoXn to be quite as mil
hostile to democracy as the most
MiIitarists to Fore.
These elements. just because they
are ultra -militarist were necessarily
dominant in a state of war, which
imposes militarism and suspends pop
ular liberties even in the most demo-
cratic states.
1t goes without saying that in mon
archical countries. they are strongly
anti Republican, and took their part
In the war to get the better of the
monarChies of Germany and Austria
not to abolish them. The moment
their operations had the unintended

they turned against Russia and are
actually making war on her.
When they achieved the same re-

suit in the Central Empires they
began to use the blockade as a
means of crushing the German Re
publicans. They have. of course
a hundred plausible excuses for each
step they take or propose in this
direction; but not one of these eX-
Cuses would be made by them if the
boot were on the other leg and the
effect of the war had been to up
set republics and substitute mon
arches for them.
Enthroned kings Son.
When they deposed the King OF
Greece 70 being prO-German they
did not impose a republic on Greece
with Mr.. Venizelos as president,
which would have been the simplest
matter in the world. Instead, they
put the Kings son on the throne.
Wren the Kaiser fell, the only ques-
tion they raised was whether his
son or his grandson should succeed

They call all republicans, except
French and American ones, BOlshe-

Erandfathers talked about Wash

NO REPR|MAND
GIVEN CR0WDER
Tempest in Teapot Arose
Through Erroneous Sum-
mary on Letter.

No reprimand was ever administered
to Provost Marshal General Crowder,
nor was there ever any intention on
the part of Gen. March, Chief of Staff,
to rebuke or reprimand that officer in
any way, according to a letter sent TO
Gen. Crowder by Secretary of War
Baker. The facts as officially stated
are that in the spring there were some
differences of opinion between Gen.
March and the staff on the one hand
and Gen. Crowder on the other. with
reference to medical examination OF
the men.
Gen. March, as Chief of Staff, in
sisted that things should be done the
way the staff desired. and Gen. Crow
der was so informed and. soldier
fashion, he obeyed orders, Some
clerk, however, in making the en-
dorsement on Gen. March's letter
summarized it incorrectly, it is stated
A new endorsement is to be made and
the tempest in the teapot has sub
sided for the present.
1t has, however. also been reported
that Gen. Crowder fell under the
umbrage of the staff for certain state
ments as 10 policies he made public

TWO SUSPECTS
TO FACE GIRL

the authorities of SpOttsylvania. Va,
twelve miles from Fredericksburg. or
suspicion of being able to throw light
on the attack made last Sunday even
ing on Miss Julia May Garrett, near
Seminary Station, Fairfax County
three miles west of Alexandra.
The two men were arrested late this
afternoon and q telegram notifying
the Alexandria police of their arrest
was received shortly after o'clock
by Chief Of Police Goods from Sheriff
G. 4. Garner, Spottsylvania. The tele-
gram reads as follows: Have two
men in Jail; one in uniform and one
civilian Shall l hold them? Wire
US"
Police Sergeant William ]. Wilkin-
son. of Alexandria. at once wlreo
back to hold the suspects.
Sheriff ]. r. Allison, of Fairfax
County, who was out all day running
down clues, received first news of the
arrest of the suspects shortly before
o'clock tonight from a Herald rep
resentative. ,
Sheriff Allison will go to Spottsyl'
vania Courthouse tomorrow morn
ing. should the suspects being helo
answer the description of the mer
who attacked Miss Garrett they VIII
be brought to Alexandra and taker
to police headquarters in that city
and Miss Garrett will be given ar
oLportunity to look them over.
owing to the fact that there Is
high feeling in Fairfax County over
the affair, the suspects if identlfieo
would be taken to the jail in Alex
andria and kept there until thelr
trial as precautionary measure.
At a late hour tonight the author
tiles of Fairfax County had been un-
able to get into communication with
the officials of SpOttsylvanla. Fol
this reason they were unable to tell
whether the two men arrested an
swer the description of the men
wanted for the crime.
1t is regarded as highly probable,
however, that Sheriff Allison. before
he departs tomorrow morning for
Spottsylvania will get descriptions. OF
the men being held TO see if they
tally with the descriptions furnished
by Miss Garrett of her assailants.
Clues of all sorts have been run
down by the sheriff and his deputies
during the last forty-eight hours, but
all have proved barren of results.
Owing to the fact that the blood
hounds lost the trail at Edsalls yes
terday afternoon, they were not used
today.
