GERMANY INVITED
TO TALK PEACE
TERMS APRIL Is
CONTINUED. FROM PAGE ONE

MN fAUb oNk
In connection with his statement re.
garding the Italian claims, II Is note.
worthy that the President had a long
conference with Premier Orlando to-
day.
With a view to obtaining the speed
lest possible understanding on Italy's
claims. the big -Four" session today
resolved itself into a council of two"
tho two negotiators being President
Wilson and Premier Orlando, who
talked earnestly and at length, going
into every phase OF the complex prob
lem of the Adriatic, involving Italy's
demand for Fiume.
The italian delegation last night had
declared its positive insistence upon
its claims. and new threats were made
OF "bolting'' unless the demands
were granted. Today's conference.
therefore. was looked forward to with
great anxiety and this unquestionably
has been one OF the critical days of
the Peace Conference.
President Wilson, in his conference
with the Italian premier, is understood
to have made his supreme effort to
swing the Italian statesman around to
the Observation-Disclosures of Fiume.
II Is impossible at this hour even
to hazard a guess as to the outcome
OF this effort.
One important factor-perhaps the
decisive-backing up of President Will
sons arguments and pleas with Sig
nor Orlando Is the unique capacity Of
America for steadying the sorely de-
pressed economic situation in Italy.
That country needs food and fuel in
the worst way, and the internal politi-
cal situation is rocking under wide
spread discomfort, which is so intense
that hints Of an impending revolution
have been frequent in Rome dis
patches during the last few days.
Lloyd George Optimistic.
Tomorrow the big four" will have
full session again on the italian sit
uation, and It will then quickly be-
come apparent what results Mr.. Will
son achieved in his talk with the Ital-
ian prime minister today. The Brit
ish foreign secretary, Arthur James
Balfour. will sit in Premier Lloyd
Georges place.
Premier Lloyd George, leaving for
London today. said that everything
is going ahead" and that he is well
pleased with what has been accom-
plished."

The single purpose behind the new
School Code is to improve education
in Delaware. Afer four months trial
of the code no one so far as l know,
claims or has asserted that the code
spoils or decreases education. No one
claims that the code fails to give bet
ter education to the children of the
State. If these be facts then the code
must be basically sound"
So spoke Pierre S. DUPONT, vice
president of the State Board of Edu-
cation, in an informal address recent
ly before a record attendance of the
Rotary Club, in Wilmington.
In a manner that convinced all his
hearers, Mr.. DUPONT traced the official
origin of the code, how it was drawn
by commission authorized by the
Legislature of 1917 and appointed by
the Governor. He explained that the
commission employed the General Ed
ucation Board as technical advisers.
AS to the current criticism in rural
sections that the code confers too
broad powers on the State Board, he
showed that the section comforting
general powers was copied from the
old school laws and is practically
identical with it. In addition, he
stated, the code states the duties spe-
officially. Under the old law, the board
might do certain things, under the
code it must perform certain duties
essential to a proper system of edu-
cation.

French Train operatlon Poor.

The French method of train opera
ton differs sharply from the Ameri-
can. In the United States it is GUS
tomary to move the trains by means
of the block signal system, under the
orders of train dispatchers. In France
the chef de gare, sort Of sublimated
station agent, is supreme. He is in alb
solute charge of all trains that pass
through his station and of the allot-
ment of cars within his district. A
through train having reached his sta
ton, it cannot leave without his per-
mission. This practice brings about
such a condition that fewer trains are
operated over a French double-track
line than could be handled over an
American single-track line equipped
with block signals and dispatchers.

Henan Life In coaIpIt.

Sir Joseph Cook. the minister Of the
Australian navy and one Of the COM
monwealth's delegates to the peace
conference. began life in a cOalpit in
Staffordshire, England. While work
ing miner he sought to improve his
education in every way, and in his
spare moments in the pit acquired a
knowledge of shorthand. At the age
of twenty-five he decided to try his
luck in Australia and went to New
South Wales in 1885. He obtained
work in mine near Sydney and took
an active interest in promoting the
welfare of his fellOw~wOrkers. He
then became secretary of the local
miners union and this proved the step
ping-stone to political life.

There is only one sure way to cut
down the cost of living. Prices will
fall when production is increased.
With larger supply of what everybody
needs to eat, drink and wear and for
shelter there will be concurrent drop
of cost to the consumer. At the same
time there is brought about an equiv
alent rise in the wages of labor. To
stop work is to decrease production.
Having ended the war we must now
begin the work of repair. One little
word of three letters shows the way
out of the world dilemma. That word

after his man until he wears him down.
Fans are assured of a bout jammed
full of action any time Brown is sched-
uled as one of the participants. He
could make even Eddie Shannon fight
or jump out of the ring.

to give away from five to ten pounds
fayorite, Kid Leyman, in a six-round
semi windup, is also in tlptop shape.
frankie has been having lots of action
on the coast, participating in six
events in 10 days and winning all
save one of them, which was a draw.
Leyman, however is a mighty tough
boy and a clever, speedy boxer. More
than that, he can hit. The Kid has
been training hard for this Monroe
match and is in 100 per cent better
condition than when he met Tommy
McManus a couple of weeks ago.
Stahl Has Good Record
As to Jake Stahl, Browns opponent
in the main event, a review of his
record during the past two years will
convince any fans that he will give
Brown one of the toughest matches of
his career.
Numbered among Stahl's victims are
such prominent coast lightweights as
Young France, Al Grunan, Mike
Colindo, Monk Fowler Young Ketchell
Willie Hunefeld, Bert Forbes, Kid
Julian, Leo Houck, Battling Nicks
and dozens of others who have at
tempted to stop short his success in
the ring.
The San Diego lad has agreed to
make 1870 pounds at o'clock Friday
afternoon for Brown. He is, even now,
well within that weight limit, he
stated after his training yesterday In
consequence, he viii indulge in only
light training this afternoon, starting
at 9 o'clock. and will then rest until
weigh-in time tomorrow afternoon.
Stahl and Brown are two of the
most evenly matched contestants, as to
size, that have appeared here. They
are the same height TO the quarter
of an inch and will weigh within a
couple of pounds of each other. Here
tofore, when Brown has appeared in
this city he has always been obliged
to give away from five to ten opunds
to an opponent.
Two four-round preliminary events
are also included on the program which
will start promptly at 9 o'clock
in Arcadia hall.
