INTERESTING DISCOVERIES
BY IRISH PROFESSOR

DUBLIN, June 18 (by maiD-Dr
Douglas Hyde, professor of Irish in
the National University of Ireland
has been delivering a series of lee
lures on Irish folklore at Alexandra
College, Dublin, and has made many
interesting discoveries. He said there
must ahve existed in the Middle Ages
If Ireland a whole cycle of literature
dedicated to famous animals. he had
recorded some surviving specimens OF
it and translated them for the first
time.
He showed that the ancient Irish
were familiar with the transmigra-
ton of souls and that even in the last
century some traces of the belief re-
manned. In County Roscommon a poem
was written a century Or a century
and half ago telling of a pig which,
having eaten an Irish manuscript,
spoke and told the owner how it had
been a great singer among the Turks,
fought at Aughrim against the Irish
and been a hacker in France.

TREASURES
OF AUSTRIANS
CAUSE STRIFE

VIENNA, June 9 Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Italian
claims to ownership and restoration
to Italy Of paintings and jewels in the
Vienna art collection seem to be dis
turbing the Viennese quite as much
as any other probable clause of the
peace treaty of St. German.
1t is understood that promises have
been made by the Austrian delegates
to the peace conference that the col
lection shall be left intact, and the
claims of Czechs and Jugo-Slavs not
granted. This position is said to have
been taken partly because if the prin-
ciple Of restitution were once allowed
it would apply also to American and
English collections the origins of
which are shadoWy, especially the
Greek treasures in London.
AS some Italian claims to paintings
are based on the treaty between Italy
and Austria Of 1866, it is stated that
Austria will demand payment of two
billion Ira unpaid by the Italians al
though owed under that treaty. 1t is
said also that Italy would welcome
any honest re-adjustment of collec-
lions of sculptures and paintings,
wherever owned, and that Greece also
favors this attitude.
Some of Italy's present claims date
back to the Middle Ages or earlier, as
in the case of the sO-called crown of
Charlemagne made by Italian gold
smith, also the imperial cape made
by Saracens for the Norman Kings of
Sicily, and Cellini's golden saltcellar,
designed for Cardinal Medici but cast
for Francis, the First, and later given
by Charles, the Ninth, of France to
Ferdinand of TyrOl as a wedding pres
ent. It's present value has been esti-
mated at possibly one million dollars.
Claim is laid to the Este collection
VI ISy pLldu dlIu 1COIIldu antiquities,
musical instruments, marbles and
bronzes which the emperor Of Aus
tria inherited from the Duke of Mod
ena. This collection was brought here
from CatarrO, near Padua, twenty-five
years ago, but has not yet been ex-
hibited to the public although a mus
cum is now being arranged for it in
the new HOfburg Palace.
The most important single object
of this collection is cupid Discharg-
ing an Arrow" by DonatellO, Cupid
being considered by many the most
lovely child ever modelled. This work
was cast in the middle of the 18th CEN
fury and is three feet high. There
are no copies of it in existence and
very few photographs. 1t would be
valued at several million dollars ac-
cording to D'Ancona if it were possible
to place a commercial price upon it.
Among Austrian collectors agitated
over Italian claims is the aged Count
WilczeW, the discoverer of Franz
Josef Land. Many of these claims,
however, are only provisional.

while another will start shorter route
OF triangular direction between Los
Angeles Pasadena and Riverside. Five

the first route and six on the second
which will be fifty miles long. He said
he expected to keep the schedule OF
ninety minutes for 1@0 miles on the

PARIS, March 13.--Louis Klotz, Minis
ter of Finance, began his eagerly
awaited speech in the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day on the financial situation by
denying he had made the statement that
France had become richer since the war.
From the fiscal point of view there had
been more resources created. the Min
lister conceded, but it would be absurd TO
say that any country with departments
In such condition as the invaded depart
ments of France had become richer.

nounced would be three or four times
greater than before the war; the deficit
to meet being 21,75O, 100000 francs ga

NJ. klotz gave some striking figures
