LENA RIVERS" ID BE
 GIVEN BY. LAWRENCE CO. AT ELKS TONIGHT

Following a week end spent on the south side. the Del S. Lawrence Stock company has returned to Phoenix to open at the Elks tonight, in Lena Rivers" a dramatization of the famous and popular novel of that name by Mary J. Holmes.
 The Lawrence company has woN niche in the hearts of Phoenix people second to none. They have been here for some time and have gained a repu- tation for always pleasing. They have always put on clean entertaining plays, and have demonstrated that theiy very aim is to please the public.
 In Lena Rivers" they are depart ing somewhat from their usual brand of plays, but it is being done in order to make thir stay here more varied.
 It is a strong bill, one which is full of pathos and gives an opportunity to both Miss Steck and Mr Lawrence to put over some particularly strong acting. It is said to be one of the best plays ever produced by this company.
 Miss Steck has appeared in the part before and is thoroughly conversant with the efforts demanded.

WILSON'S STAND
 GREAT SURPRISE
Declares Daily Mail Com menting on Recent
 Conference.

London, Jan. 16.-Commenting up.. on the conference between Premier Orlando of Italy and President Will son last Friday, the Paris correspon- dent of the Daily Mail says that per sons in touch with the Italian mission declare the Premier was surprised al MT. Wilson's attitude
 President Wilson was firm in his refusal to recognize Italian claims be- yond Trieste and Trent" the cores pondent writes. Foreign Minister Sonnino of Italy demands an import ant part of the Dalmatian coast, as well as the Plume. while Premier Or lando would be content to give up the DaImatlon coast if sure of Plume. It is reported that even on this point Mir. Wilson was unwilling to give way.
 While the majority of the fnnas>- tants of Plume are Italian. that port ia the natural outlet for the Austrian Slavs. It is therefore claimed that few thousand Italians in Plume are not to be balanced against the needs for a sea outlet for millions of Slavs. It is pointed out that the commercial necessities of the Jugo-Slavs demand an outlet to the Adriatic and that if Italy ignores those necessities she may incur the enemity of those popu- lations and create Q new danger to the peace of Europe.
 Tt is supposed that President Wil- son does not consider that Plume, as free port in Italian hands, would meet the needs of the Jugo-Slav hin- terland"

]. 5. ADOPTS NEW SHIPPING POLICY American Shipping Now Enabled. to Meet All
 Competition.

Paris, Jan. 16-(By The Associated Press)-American shipping will be enabled to make rates in successful competition with other maritime na- tions and keep the seas open to the great business developments expected with the end of the war under the provisions of a shipping policy adopt ed by the United States government it was learned here today.
 Formulated by E. N. Hurley, chair man of the United States Shipping Board, after an extensive investiga tion, this policy, which has been off, cially approved, proposes to write off virtually s1,O0O. .OOO.0OO from the cost of American shipping built during the war and possibly a proportionate write-off from the valuations of American shipyards. This write off, according to the plan, would apply to ships worth approximately $3,00o,- 100000.
 It is expected that the moral force of the government in making such a reduction, will bring private fy-owned shipping into the plan. As all ships constructed in the United States during the war were built by the government, the percentage of privately-owned shipping aaffected is small.
 This reduction in shipping values to an after-the-war basis has been chosen rather than plans calling for reductions in wages. Officials were convinced, after exhaustive study, that one of these alternatives was necessary If the United States was to compete with foreign nations un- der the high standard established by Congress for maritime labor

BICkFORD WANTS
 FARMERS AWAKE

Burlington, Vt, Jan. 1.---Fred H.
 Bickford of Bradford, president of the Vermont Dairymen's association and
 member of the state board of agri- culture, told the farmers in attend
 ance at the annual meeting of the as sociation here yesterday that it was time the Vermont farmer woke up. The greatest need of Vermont is not mere knowledge. but to put into prac- tice what we already have. I claim that no man has a just right to be considered in the fixing of the price of milk unless he can show how much it has cost him to produce that milk :; 75 per cent. of the farmers in my part of the state who claim they cannot afford to produce milk and butter at prevailing prices are using oleomar- garine exclusively on their own ta- bles. Few farmers know enough about their business to give figures of how much it costs to do it.
 The Vermont Dairymen's associa- ton is the largest organization of the
 kind in the country. Governor Clem- ent will speak at the banquet tonight.

AGREE TO CALL
 OFF ALL STRIKES
Argentine Situation Clears With Exception of Ship
 ping Difficulty.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 16---At a con- ference with President Irigayen yes- terday afternoon. labor leaders agreed to call off all strikes now in force in Argentina. except the one which has virtually paralyzed shipping in the harbor. Telegrams from different parts of the country indicate that conditions are much improved as a result of orders sent to the various unions.
 President Irigoyen promised the la bor representatives he would do everything possible to meet the de- mands of the workmen.
 Reports from the provinces have shown that the troubles cid not have their origin in Bolshevism, but were due to conflicts incident to strikes. In this city, where there was danger of a Bolshevist uprising, conditions are much improved, but military precau- tions against further outbreaks have not been relaxed. Food supplies have been replenished and meat was avail able yesterday for the first time in nearly a week.
 Recapitulation of the casualties in- flicted during the disorders of the past week shows that between $50 and 1000 persons were killed and from $500 and 5000 wounded. The final figures probably will be much higher, as it is believed that many of the killed and wounded were car ried away by the rioters.
 Newspapers say large fund to car ry on Bolshevist propaganda probably was sent here. as the leading agita- tors were well supplied with money
 Shots were fired In the city of Cor. doba yesterday at a patriotic process s'on. Fifty persons were arrested among them being the president ot the provincial legislature, and lead ing attorney.
