 AIMS IN ADRIATIC
IRepubIIcan A. P..Leased wirc]

ROME. Dec. 22.-Premier Nitti, in addressing the chamber of deputies today. made the announcement that Italy had the friendly consent. if not the complete adhesion, of France and
 Great Britain on the Plume situation, and asserted that the dominant point
 of view was favorable to the Italian
 government.
 The proposal made to the allies with
 regard to Plume, the premier added
 was the minimum. He said the gov sernment recently had asked the regu- lar and irregular forces to retire from the town and that during the last few days the national council at Plume has associated itself with the govern ment's program. The exact result of the piebecite held in Plume last week was not known. the premier continued, but more than half of the persons who registered voted. of whom four- fifths favored the attitude of the national council.
 Signor Nitti said the government sincerely desired to entertain friendly relations with the Jugo -SIavs. He contradicted statement that the United States had economic aims in the Adriatic. and said the status of Italian exchange did not depend on the greediness of the United States but on the proportion of sales and pur- chases. +s stt%A "

 declare a state of peace, also is said to have been made to the republican leader yesterday by the mild reserva- tionists. They are understood to have removed all possibility of senate ac- tfon on the measure in the near future by serving notice that they would not support it unless and until it became certain the treaty could not be rati- fled with reservations.
 The whole subject of reservations seemed tonight to have been ropened wide with both sides protesting a will lingness to enter wholeheartedly into an energetic give and take effort at compromise. Predictions of early ac- tion on the treaty multiplied, many senators declaring action was likely before the end of January.
 Some of the more optimistic ex- pressed confidence that the ratifica- tion would come before January 16 thus formally establishing peace and permitting the president to lift prohi- bition for brief wet spell before. the prohibition amendment becomes ef- fective on that date.
 There were other senators, however who took less stock in the compromise measure, predicting that in due time 1t would collapse like all it's forerun- ners. It was pointed out that President Wilson might again intercede if res crvations accepted by members of his party in the, senate did not meet with his approval.

 Beyond this the department of jus tice has instituted a thorough going and nationwide campaign. participant ed in by thousands of men and women, bringing about regulations in. the cost of livig through education and through moral suasion. In A states this cam
 
 work in all of them as directed from Washington, Is being done by fair price commissioners or United States at torneys. Very soon organizations of the remaining states will be completed. Three states have passed laws creating commissions or other machinery for the protection of their citizens against profiteers. The women of the country. in whose hands rests the power to largely control the cost of living through purchase. have been organized to carry certain educational facts to the consuming and buying public as well as to determine fair prices in local communities and to. hunt. out the profiteers and report violations of the Lever act. a
 The women's organizations of the country have already done splendid work in this direction and are expected to cooperate still further. It has been thought advisable to work through or ganizations already set up and func- tioning in the different states. rather than to set up a separate organization solely for this purpose.

%, is as much mystery as ever and
not the slightest trace Of the young
man can be found. Although the
row-boat which he hired of Capt.
Decrow was found drifting in the
bay late that evening, there is still
a feeling among many that the
young man was not drowned. The
fact that he left his machine at the
Leonard G. Barrows shoe factory in
a condition most unusual, running
the thread in and about the works,
so that it could not be. started with
out some 10 or Is minutes labor to
untangle the thread. leads to the sup
position that he may not have been
just right mentally at the time he
left the shop at noon on Saturday.
His wages are still uncalied for at the
office of the company and his cloth
ing and personal effects were left
at his boarding place. 1t is time that
his body should have been found, if
he was drowned in the bay but moth
ing to this effect has been reported.
His father came to Belfast shortly
after the disappearance but was
powerless to do anything to locate
his son. Young Wilcox was about 81,
unmarried and a steady-going, indus
trious young man. He was very quiet
and made but few intimate friends.
