The District Jail.

In consequence Of the escape of q
prisoner charged with murder from
the District Jail the other night an
investigation has followed with the re-
suit Of the disclosure Of irregularities
Of a surprising character. One of
these, a most extraordinary case of
Official laxity, has led to the dismissal
Of the superintendent and his deputy,
while in the matter Of the escape of
the prisoner two guards held account
able have been also dismissed.
A little more than a year ago four
prisoners escaped from the Jail van
and a few days later fifteen others
made their way out Of the Jail itself.
In the latter case information had been
previously given officials that q plot
to break away had been formed and
that a window bar had been partially
sawed. Despite this warning the men
made good their flight.
The case upon which the removal Of
the superintendent and his deputy is
based is particularly fragrant. A man
charged with murder was permitted by
the superintendent to attend an Easter
celebration at his home in custody Of
the deputy. OF course, such a proce-
dure is wholly intolerable. There can
be NO assured prison discipline in such
conditions.
In the matter of the latest escape,
there remains some mystery. How
could the bar Of an outer window be
cut without detectionf A guard is on
duty outside continually, and supposed
ly makes the circuit Of the building
frequently. The outer wall is imme-
diately accessible from the street. II
. close watch is not kept mischievous
work can be done, as this case proves,
in the hours Of darkness: So far -
the case has gone this item in the es-
cape has not been made clear. =
/ Complaint isemsde BY friends of: the
guards charged with laxity in the care
Of the inner prison that they are made
to suffer for the whole fault Of the
escape. Presumably the case is not
closed. The new superintendent, it il
to be expected. will institute search
ing review Of the circumstances. II
injustice has been done in the dis
missal Of these two men alone it can
be remedied. II others than those who
have been punished by dismissal have
been At fault they should be brought
to book. The Jail evidently needs .
thorough reorganization. The pity is
that the scale Of wages paid there is
30 small that it IL hard to obtain the
character Of service that is required
in the interest Of the public security.

The Italian Issue.

President Wilson's declaration with
regard to the Italian claims in the
Adriatic brings the matter to an ISSUE
Italy must now elect to stay in the
conference and seek there the utmost
possible in the way of territory upon
the basis of such provisions Of the
London treaty as are now applicable
and permissible, or she, under the i'm
pulsion Of domestic conditions, must
withdraw completely from the allied
peace conference, in which case she
will stand in a position Of peculiarly
dangerous isolation.
That President Wilson has spoken
not merely his own sentiment On the
subject of Fiume and Dalmatia, but
also that of England and France as
represented at Paris, is indicated in
the dispatches. There may be sym
pathy with Italy in her present diff
cult position. There may be a strong
inclination on the part of both powers
to stand strictly by the provisions of
the treaty of April, 1915, on the
strength Of which Italy entered the
war. But the President has stated the
case with such justice that neither
power can dissent.
In the present situation France and
England are in difficulties themselves
They are parties to q treaty that
brought Italy into the war as a valued
and greatly helpful ally. But Italy
now declines to stand strictly by that
treaty, with respect to Fiume. If they
insist upon the treaty, Italy loses that
upon which she has centered her as
piration. If they denounce the treaty
On the score Of changed conditions,
Italy finds herself thrown back upon
tho principle of self determination
application Of which will perhaps in
volve losses quite as difaeult to bear
n that Of Fiume.
The Presidents statement may be
regarded in the light of a decision a.
umpire, the Italian issue having been
in effect referred to him'as representa-
tive Of q power not in any manner in
VOWED IN the situation. Yet it is not
IN award in the fullest sense. He
proposes the grant Of Fiume to the
Jlgoslsvs' and the razing Of ,fottiAess
tiens erected by Austria, but he does
not undertake any delimitation of the
areas to be granted to Italy under
either the principle Of self determine
tion or the treaty Of London.
Il is reported that Premier Orlando
indicates that Italy was on the point
Of seeking compromise when the
Presidents statement was issued, and
that it has made such q compromise
impossible. This suggests that Italy will
persist in withdrawal from the con-
ference. To do 90 would compel the
allied powers to proceed without her
IN the writing Of the treaty with the
states representing the former Austro-
Hungarian empire. She cannot make
war. She must in such case stand
apart and receive her allotment Of
area without exercising any further in
huenee in the shaping Of the final
terms, . position that would be most
humiliating to every Italian.

The surrender of CORVALLIS in DC
tober of 1871 practically ended the
war of the American Revolution but
1t was not until September 3, of 1888
yearly two years later, that the de
finitive treaty Of peace was signed al
Paris. Almost all the intervening time
was spent In negotiations. Franklin
John Adams, Jay and Laurens had been
sent to Paris to be ready for the for
mutation of peace. All sensible Brit
lsh statesmen were convinced that the
independence Of the colonies was an
accomplished fact; but the king, and
the reactiOnaries with whom he had
surrounded himself, were stubbornly
bent on continuing the war. 1t was
proposed to make 1t 'war Of posts

Nothing Succeeds Like Success.
England wanted peace and America
wanted peace; the question was who
should make the first move. At last
General Conway, on Washlngton's
birthday, February % Of 1872, made
a motion In the house of commons
against continuing the war. 1t was
lost by one vote, but carried five days
later by a majority of 10. This meant
fine downfall of the ministry and the
formation of II new one favorable to

on March 20. Lord Shelburne was

nartmeut and Charles James Fox for
