WANTS ITALIAN
FRONT SETTLED
Premier Orlando Confers
With President Wilson
on the Subject

Paris, April 2-Settlement of Italws
frontier question contemporaneously
with that of France was insisted
upon today by Premier Orlando at n
conference with President Wilson
just before the Council of Four con-
vened to discuss the Italian frontier
question.
The Italian premier asked the Pres
ident whether he did not think it
advisable to have an informal eX-
change of views on the Italian prob
lem, especially as regards the Adri-
attic, before it is presented to the
council. The President replied that
he shared this view, but owing to
pressure of work had been unable to
personally study the Italian ques-
tion. However. he promised to do so.
Premier Orlando's suggestion of n
simultaneous settlement of the from
tier questions involves a joint peace
with Austria, a plan which is favor
ed by the American delegation pro-
vided it does not cause too much de-
lay. In this connection. the Amer
lean Boundaries Commission expects
this week to conclude all boundaries
includeing those of Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey.

cred After a Long
Search

Bristol, April 2.-The known
death list as n result of the collapse
of a platform at the launching of Il
cargo carrier at the Merchant Ship
yard Monday. remained at four early
to-day. After u long search no ad-
ditional bodies We're recovered and
officials of the company said they
lad no reason to believe that more
than four had been drowned.
Most of those on the platform
when it toppled over, throwing them
into the Delaware river, were en-
ployes of the ship yard. I'VE have
tried to look up all the absentees,"
said George c. Thayer. general man
aeCr OF the Merchant Shipbuilding
Company. land it is evident that
there is no one else missing. Time
cards have been checked up and
every one appears to be accounted
for. OF course there may have been
some strangers among the victims,
but l hardly regard this as likely"
Another launching was held at
the yard yesterday. the steamer
Itan, an $500 freighter, sliding into
the river before a large number of
invited guests and thousands OF
workmen. Mrs. w. T. Wilson. wife

CENTRAL HIGH NOTES

After going eight weeks in the
afternoon, the Juniors and part of
the two lower classes will change
to the morning session on Monday
morning. The seniors, with the
Freshman class, will switch to the
afternoon session, and will probably
continue in this session until the
close of school in June. Some ru-
NOR is afioat, however, that there
may be another change in sessions
before school closes for the sum-
mer vacation.
Shield Received
The Triangle Debating League
Shield has been received at Central
from the Reading High school, who
has held it for the past three years.
The shield is the property of Cen
trail for one year unless, her two
debating teams walk away with a
double victory in the Triangle
League again next winter. The shield
has become the property of Central
because her two boys teams won
from Reading and HaZleton on the
14th of last month. 1t was with great
reluctance that the Reading school
gave up the shield that has been
hers for the past three years, but
inasmuch as Central had won pos
session of it by two fair and square
debates, Reading had to give it up.
A Reading citizen had also offered
gold medals to the winning team in
the Central Reading debate, but no
word has been received here as yet
concerning these medals.
Philonian Hop e..
AS the time draws near for the
annual dance of the Philonian De-
90, &c, &c
trail and their friends are becoming
more and more anxious for the night
of the 21st to come around. The
Philonians have always held one of
the best dances of the year, but this
year the hop promises to be better
than ever because only a limited
and selected number of invitations
have been sent. The society, this
year. has planned to make the dance
as exclusive as possible, feeling that
only the best kind of dance can be
held when this is done.
Senior Invitations
The invitation committee of the
senior class has decided on the type
of announcements that the class will

GETTING RID OF
ARMY SUPPLIES
Disposition of American Ma
teral in England
Huge Task

London, April 2.-Disposition of
American army supplies in England
will be big and complicated task,
Owing to the nature of certain con-
tracts and an agreement with the
British government, the army can
not begin selling material for at
least month yet in the opinion
of army officers but they are prepar-
ing the way now. Some material
still is being delivered to the army
while other contracts are held in
abeyance pending settlement.
When the United States entered
the war it was agreed that all con-
tracts for supplies should be made
through the British government. 1t
also was agreed that at the termlna-
ton of hostilities the United States
should not sell material without con-
sent of the British government, nor
could any o fthe contracts arranged
through the British be cane oelled eN-
cept by negotiations through that
government.
Even if there are some delays the
United States doubtless will profit
on many of its sales No agree
ment could be reached with the firm
which held u contract to deliver to
the American army about 200 huge
gasoline tanks for use in France.
Delivery is continuing but it is not
worrying quartermaster officers as
the army already has been offered
more than the contract price for the
lot. With some other material the
same situation obtains.
The work of settling unfinished
contracts is progressing but British
officials are unwilling for huge
amount of material to be suddenly
dumped on the market notwith-
standing there is an insistent de-
mand for some of it at inflated
prices. British officials say there is
no desire whatever to deprive
Americans of an advantageous mar
ket but they argue that they also
must consider the disposal of the
enormous amount of British army
supplies stored in England.

Japs Warn China
Of Making Secret
Agreements Public

Pcking, Thursday. March 27.-The
Japanese minister here has warned
the Chinese government that if the
premature disclosure of secret docu-
ments by China causes loss to Jap
anese financial and commercial in
terests, Japan will hold China re-
sponsible for such loss. AS the re-
suit, the Chinese government has fur
ther postponed the contemplated pub
lication of secret agreements between
China and Japan.

sible by defining the character of the
payments over n period of years,
without precisely defining what the
total would reach, and efforts are
being made to find a formula which
would express this idea.
1t is understood that the plan is
considered advantageous chiefly for
friendly countries. where eXpecta-
tionS have been aroused of q total
much larger than is likely to be al
lowed.
The impression is gaining ground
that a formula will be found cover
ing reparation without naming a
figure, the suggestion being made of
n commission to determine the losses
of the different countries.
Marshal Foch attended the early
sessions Of the council before leav-
Ing for Spa to meet the German
plenipotentiary regarding the land

King Albert. of Belgium. who ar
rived yesterday. will probably see
President Wilson regarding Belgian
interests.
Most of the day at the council
meeting was given over to the mat
ter of the Rhine frontier and repa-
rations. but the question of the re-
sponsibility of the former emperor
and others for the war was touched
on for the first time.
The chief remaining details of the
reparations question involve the

err the specific amount demanded

tions from one source are that the
total will amount to between S2O,r
600. 100000 and $4,000. 600, 600.
