This was the disclosure that came

Tucked away in the act to regulate

Five Large Dealers Affected.
At the District building today it was
revealed that five of the largest local
dealers have to meet moro than one
charge each that they have procured
milk from other than licensed sources.
They are Corbin Thompson, H. j.
Black. William A. Simpson, John w.
Gregg and J. J. Bowles. according to
statements Of municipal authorities.
They are said to control about 10 per
cent of the milk distributed here.

ACTING FOR Mr.. PAL MER

Distrit. Attorney Laskey has fied
with the District Court Of Appeals a
brief asking that the salisbury law
be upheld by that tribunal
In the introduction to his brief the

court. The brief begins as follows:
The conditions created by tie

the request of the Attorney General.
because an upholding of the resolu-
tion is deemed to be necessary and
the affairs of the government during
the war;
Defends Constitutonality.
Mr. Laskey's brief is confined to argu-
ments to support the contention that the
law is constitutional. and details are
given of a number Of cases to support
the theory that Congress had authority
to make such law for Washington.
The brief refers to the fact that the
constitutional status Of the District AS
the seat OF government is peculiar. 1t
quotes the right vested in Congress Ito
exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever over such district" The
brief further states that the District
was created Fin order that the govern
ment might be master at the place where
its business should be transacted and
have power there to make conditions
and environment suitable to conduct OF
such business"
Further on the brief contends that
the power conferred on Congress over
the District includes the power to
regulate whatever becomes an OBJ
ject of public interest. concern or
welfare to the point where some pro.
vision of the Constitution stops II.
The District attorneys brief contends
that the Salisbury law does not vio-
late the rights conferred either
in the fifth or the seventh amend
ments to the Constitution.
The brief is submitted jointly by
Mr.. Laskey and Henry w. Sohon. spe-
cial assistant United States attorney.

PARIS. April 1.-The league of ma
tions is dead. All chance of Il real
settlement of European problems is at
an end. A desperate effort is being
| made to get together patched-up
peace within the next ten days which
shall at least put an end to unrest and
economic paralysis in the world.
The collapse of the league of na
tions is the result of the panic fol.
lowing the arrival of the bolshevists
at Buda pest: having had no policy to-
ward bolSheViSm, the Paris conference
suddenly awoke from its dreams of
reordering the world to Il realization
of the fact that tWo-thirds of the
population OF Europe Woald not in any
case subscribe to the league OF ma
tions, and that the league of nations.
IL 1t were tC be anything, would have
to be an alliance against bolsheriSm.
an alliance which called for active
operations.
In this situation the Paris confer
ence. which for three months had con-
centrated most of its attention upon
the draft of the covenant of The league
of nations, was suddenly Informed that
Germany would sign no treaty which
recognized the right Of the small ma
tionaltieS to existence at her expense.
and that unless the allies prepared
to enforce their demands upon German
and bOiSheviSt alike the doctrines
themselves had no value and no
weight.
Poles and South Slavs Sacrificed.
In the panic which resulted the con-
ference at Paris gave up the just de-
cision that the Poles should have Dam
zig and an outlet on the Baltic. By
this course it doomed the Poles to a
choice between the Germans and the
bolShevists and put an end forever to
Polish hopes of real independence.
The conference had brought the boil
shevists to Budapest by recognizing
the rights of the Rumanians; it now
condemns the Poles to bolshevism by
denying Polish rights.
Almost at the same time Italy

THE FIUNIE ISSUE

As the question now stands it is
not a matter of any misunderstand-
ing between Italy and America, but
tween Italy and the personal stand
ing taken by the President Wilson
on application of his fourteen points
on issue OF Fiume.
AS preliminary I want to say that
the President in addressing the Ital-
ian people outside and against Ital-
ian government did the same blunder
he did in addressing the Americans
before the Congressional election of
last November. Then he disregarded
any political courtesy toward his op-
ponent, the Republican party. Now
he disreg garded any political and in
ternational courtesy toward the Italy
which did so much for the sake of
the allied cause.
This practice of Wilson may be
more or less correct when it is the
case of a nation ruled by autocratic
power as then it is reasonable
to suppose that the government does
not represent the Will of the people,
but in the country so democratic as
Italy is, where the government is the
expression of the will of the people,
where no man, no party once defeat
ed, rs w llSon ana beHloCIdllC pdltS
was on last November, would be able
to retain the power for one hour,
where. therefore the golden rule OF
Lincoln that the government must
be of the people, by the people and
for the people is a corner stone OF
national life. this practice is offensive
of the national dignity of Italy
In his proclamation Wilson said
that since the time Italy entered the
has been altered, foremost among
them the dissolution of the Austro-
Hungarian Empire. which he says no
one OF the Allies foresaw He adds
that after the dissolution of Austria
the Italy fears are groundless. that
Italy is protected with what he calls
restoration of natural frontiers.
If the peace conference is to be
conducted upon democratic platform
it has the duty to ask from the in
terested nation, in this case from
Italy, what is the boundary line nee
essary for the protection of national
life. This is so true that Wilson Of
fers to Italy as correspondent for
loss of Fiume the adequate guarantee
under international sanction, while
Italy knowing at her expense the
valor of the so-called international
sanction wants something less ideal
istic, something less Wilsonian but
more efficient for her national pros
perity.
The first reason of italy is based
upon one of the points of the Presl-

ONLY QUARTER
OF LOAN RAISED
Total Subscriptions Now
Stand at $1,296,999,OOO,
Reports Show
By Associated Press.

Washington, May 2.-Only $780,
100000 additional subscriptions to
the Victor yLiberty loan were report
ed early to-day to the treasury and
total subscriptions last night stood
at s1,2s6, ,99s, 900. This was 2S,S2 per
cent. of the entire loan.
At the corresponding period of the
fourth loan campaign, subscriptions
amounted to s1,791, ,46S,000 or 29.S5
per cent of the six billion total.
"As a result of the somewhat dis
appointing situation" said a treas
ury statement last night, "Chairmen
throughout the country are urging
their workers on to greater efforts
than ever before during the loan.
They are making it clear that the
time for depending upon some one
to buy enough notes to make the
loan success is past and that every
man and woman must do his or her
full duty now that peace is at hand

the percentage standing to-day was
the moving of Minneapolis district

of dissolution of Austria the Italian
kingdom would be entitled to abso-
lutte predominance in Adriatic, and
with this understanding ne subscrib-
ed to the pact of London.
The President is anxious and he is
afraid that with annexation of Fiume
to Italy seeds for future war will be
left in the Jugo-Slav nation and he
seems to realize that in the contrary
event such seeds will be planted in
the conscience of 100000 Italians,
who like their fathers in the public
schools and in every branch OF national
life will claim the rights of their be-
loved country.
The President has to remember that
had not been for Italy, the Jugo-Slav
should also at present be under
Austrian tyranny that Italy in destroy
ing her foe destroyed the foe of Jugo-
Slav and that while the Jugo-Slav were
fighting for Austria till the last mo-
ment of the war Italy gave to Jugo-
Slavs the precious gift of liberty at
tremendous cost. 1t is simply horrible
to ask from Italy one of the Italian
cities conquered with blood of Italian
soldiers for the sake of the Slavs. Be
sides the aforesaid reason others are
of moral order worthy of mention.
When on the terrible September of 1914
the German armies were approaching
Paris the declaration of Italian neu-
trality enabled the French to withdraw
all armies from the Italian frontier and
so to save Paris. When in the spring
of 1918 before arrival of full force of
the American army the French and the
British were beaten. Italy with her
splendid victory at Piave in June saved
the critical condition of Allies Then
! Austria was unable to help Germany
on the western front. The Italian vic
tory was for the Allies the first CLEAN
of sunlight after three months of agony.
In October of the same year came the
closing act of the European drama with
, Italian offensive the Austrian resistance
was destroyed at the hand of Italy.
Austria ceased to have an army Aus
tria and Hungary surrendered in the
