tack by France. Italy was to come
to Gefmany's assistance if she were
attacked by France, but Austria 8
participation in Germany's behalf
was limited to an attack by two pow
ers Italy was not expected to as
sisf Germany in war with Russia.
Anglophobe Policy Barred.
Italy secured the insertion in the
protocol of the original treaty of
provision to the effect that the triple
alliance was not to enter upon any
Anglophobe policy. In the renewal
of the triple alliance in 1887 this
would come to Italy's aid in any war
with France. even if Italy provoked
the conflict: but Austria refused to
aceede to this. A separate agreement
was then entered into whereby Aus
trials participation in Italy's behalf
was limited to war involving the
Ralkans or an unprevoked attack by
France.
Article four of the German-Italien
convention contained an expression
by Germany of her readiness to guar

of France in the event of a success

PACKERS SAY ARMY MEAT
SALE WON'T AFFECT PRICE

CHICAGO, May 1S.-Consumers,
retail meant dealers and refrigerating
experts here today declared the ESQ.,
oOO,0 900 pounds meat surplus in pos
session of the Government would
make little difference in prices if
placed on the market.
They recommended sale of the
meat abroad. where they said, ii was
needed. The real reason why there
would be no lowering in prices is
the refusal of the average American
to eat canned meats, they said.
Mrs. Caroline Bley, president of the
Clean Food Club here, and a promi-
nent member of the Housewives
League. said the canned meat would
have no market in this country except
as It was bought up for lumber camps
and other places difficult Of access.
John A. Newman, refrigerating ex-
pert. said the surplus really was not
so large. He said it would supply
every family with only about a weeks
meat.

SEEStJCCESS
SUREIN-M0VE
FOR STATES
EXHIBIT HERE
BY BILL PRICE.

A start is being mace in Washing
ton upon the biggest and most i'm
.portant project the District ever con-
.ceived--thes.estab here of a
permanent exposition of all the
states OF ele UnionS-and the prob
able smalgsrp5tion with it of per-
mRnent exhibits OF each South
and Central American republics.
This is really and truly too great a
project TO go the waX<of many others
that have passed across the stage in
the DiStrict-born in great enthH-
siasm and died in utter oblivion.
Here is a scheme thai may be .ac-
tually achieved. 1t is beyond a mere
possibility. 1t is too attractive to
every State OF the Union and to South
American countries to be turned
down.
! In these transient expeditions that
are held periodically the States Of
this country and the nations of the
world spend hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars for buildings and exhibits
that remain for. six months or less
and are then obliterated:
8 plan Everlasting Exhibit.
This plan is to establish in this
greatest capital Of the worlds great
est nation a permanent exposition to
be viewed throughout years by count
less thousands coming to the Capital
for pleasure or. business. Every dol
lar expended would yield returns inn
possible to estimate. The educational
advantages alone would be immense,
not to speak OF the wide advantages
of friendly business, diplomatic and
social touch with all the world.
The opportunity is one that must
yield results, and they will come with
persistent, steady, determined prose-
cution of well-laid plans.
Tomorrow afternoon Col R. N Har-
per and the menJers of the commit
tee appointed tOo years ago to take
up this projeCt-temporaril aban-
doned because Of the war-will meet
10 arrange for a central committee
Of 100 or more OF the most pronii-
nent citizens OF the District. This
central committee, it is contemplated,
will consist of representatives Of
each State. living in Washington, but
maintaining voting residences in their
former homes, and who will be
placed there TO get in touch with the
legislatures and governors Of their
states in presenting the project.
Other members will be representa-
lives of WaRhiHgton's leading organi-
cations who will lend a hand in the
concentrated efforts that will be re-
quired.
In talking with Colonel Harper,
asked if he thought that a committee
of wholly volunteer workers, without
financial backing and a permanent
organization to plug away at. al
times, could bring the success so
much desired, Would it not be bet

PEPCO AUTHORIZED
TOSELL NEW BONDS

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day authorized the Potomac Electric
Power Company to issue and sell ST.
80, 900 general mortgage per cent
five-year gold bonds, dated July l.,
ll91S.
On April 16. 1919, the Potomac EIec-
trio Power Company petitioned the
commission to allow them to issue the
bonds, out Of the issue of $4,000 900
authorized by the commission on
August =, 1916. Already $2,1OO, 900 OF
bonds out of the $4,000, 900 issue have
been sold.
The cOmpany's application states
the proceeds from the sale of the
bonds now to be issued are to be
used to reimburse the company for
the cost of extensions, additions, bet
terments, and improvements of its
property and equipment heretofore
made and paid from current funds
and for the further purpose of pay
ing the estimated costs of extensions.

equipment TO December 81, 1912
The order takes effect Immediately.
4. Robert Gilmore, of the brokerage
firm of Moorhead & Gilmore, 729
Fifteenth street northwest. has pur-
chased a seat on the New York Stock
Exchange.
More than three times it's quota Of
$31, 900 in the Victory loan drive, and
all sold to working people and per-
sons of comparatively small means,
is the record today of the Washington
Savings Bank, Tenth and G streets
northwest. The bank passed the
100000 mark and no subscription
was for more than $4,000. John ID
Leonard, president of the institute IN,
was in active charge of the campaign.
Four per cent bonds may be con-
verted into AZ per cent at a booth
which has been established in the
main building of the Treasury Depart
ment. Since the removal of the Di-
vision of Loans and Currency into the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
building several months ago, it mas
been necessary to go to Fourteenth
land B streets southwest to make such
conversion.
The annual report of the Columbia
Graphophone Company for 1918, and
a special quarterly report for the first
three months of 1919, show a net in
come for the year of $S19, 461. so and
for the three-month period this year
Of $1.269 ,3S5.37. The wonderful com
parative record of the three months
ending March 81 is explained by the
fact that 1918 was the most trying
year in the history of the company
with enforced reduction of output
and high prices for materials and
labor.
The estimated oversubscription of
S1,500. 5000 to. the Victory loan gives
rise to speculation as TO the posi-
bility OF a premium.
