FURTHER DETAILS REVIEWED

Anniston, January 14.-(Special.) )-Fur- ther details of the killing of Ed Demp- sey and J. W. Gipson, brothers-in-law. in Beat Is, above Piedmont, when Char lie Dempsey, father of Ed Dempsey and Gipson, engaged in a desperate pistol battle Tuesday morning at Il o'clock, were received here Tuesday afternoon over long distance phone, when the an nouncement was made that both the younger men were dead and that Charlie Dempsey was not expected to live until Wednesday.
 The shooting affray is said to have been the result of family quarrel of long standing, the renewal of which re- suited in the death of the two young men Tuesday.
 Little is known of the incidents which led up to the killing Gipson married one of the Dempsey girls several years ago, and from reports reaching the city it is probable that lack of domestic happi- ness was one of the causes leading up to the killing.
 The Dempsey family and the Gipsons ar, considered to be among the best in that part of the county and the story that their troubles have eliminated in a desperate shooting affray is matter of regret among their eneighbors and friends Ya I.. Sheriff A. H. Borders is i'll with in nue1 ga, and his deputies have gone to Piedmont to take the necessary action in the case.

EAGLE CONTRACTS
 GIVEN IN DETAIL Little Boats Useful to Navy in Peace Times as Well
 as During War
Qv AscoriatnH Press

Washington January 14.-Rear Ao- mirals Taylor, Griffin and Earle, heao- ing. respectively, the navy's bureaus or construction, engineering and ordnance gave the Senate naval committee de- tailed information today concernNg the Ford Eagle" patrol boats and contracts for their construction. Admiral ray Tor. explaining that Henry Ford him self proposed in 1917 to build the boats as the best way of meeting the sup- marine menace and that contract TOT l12 Eagles was made on the COS. plus" plan at the tentatlve price U. s276. 900 each, said the little cra1t had conformed to the characteristlcs pro and that boat of their general tvpe was needed by the navy, both in peace and war times.

How to Safeguard Belgium

Emile Cammaerts in the Yale Review.
 Enropean diplomacy, obsessed by the
 theory of balance of power, has three
 times modified the status of Belgium: 1t
 was first to be a weak state under for
 ign domination. secondly strong state
 united with Holland, thirdly a weak independent state under the guarantee
 of the great powers. Every one of these
 solutions of the Belgian problem was Ia yorable to the Dutch, and every one has
 failed. One solution only remains; a strong independent Belgium, absolutely free to take whatever steps she consid-
 CTS necessary, to preserve and develop her national life But if, as seems, such a solution is offered at the peace confer ence. Belgium must be in a position to offer as well as to receive. If she is to defend her eastern frontier, she must have an eastern frontier to defend. If she is to keep her gate shut against a foreign invasion. her position must not be turned through small territory un- | able to oppose any resistance to the foe. If she is to receive achievements, these reinf0rcemen;s must reach her through Fthc quickest road and the safest chan , nel Now. it so happens that these con ditions can he fulfilled without infring- ing in the least the principle of nation ality without causing the annexation of a square inch of foreign territory, with out urging any claim that is not sup ported by sheer common sense or the
 most elementary notiourof fair play. All that Belgium needs for her future se-
 ity is the restoration of part of
 s., nj. .sr.-, tac highlands of the Ardennes and the Eifel, the Grand Duchy of Lux
 emburg, and the freedom of the Scheldt.

CAUSE OF
 MUCH INDIGNATION IN ITALIAN PRESS
Opinion Expressed by Form CT Italian Cabinet Mem Der ArOuses Storm
 of Protest
6y Associated Press


 Rome Monday, January 13.-The re- cent speech of Leonida Bissolati in Milan, in which the former cabinet minister expressed the opinion Italy should not claim the Brenner pass in the Tyrol, or Dalamatia, has caused an outburst of indignation in virtually the entire Italian press. Among other things, the utterance has drawn out the publication of a document setting forth the claims Italy should make at the peace conference which was drafted in April, 1917, by Senator Leopoldo Franchetti and signed by 5000 persons, senators and deputies of all the parties. including followers of Signor Bisso- lati, socialists, clericals, radicals etc, and which was presented to the pre- mier.
 Only three copies of the document are in existence. In it the Italian claims are set forth as follows:
 In Europe the annexation of the IT, rdentist lands, namely the upper Adige, the Trentino. Goriza, Triest, Istria, Plume and Dalmatia; possession of the natural boundaries, with strong strategical frontier on the Aus tro- Hungarian side; in the Adriatic, exclusive Italian domination, with free dom of navigation for all commercial purposes and with the ceSSion to the peoples east of the Adriatic of the out lets to the sea necessary to their com- merce.
 There also was stipulated the right of Italy to construct a railway which would unite the port of Avlona with the Macedonian. railway. In Africa there was claimed renewal of the rec ognitiop by England of the protocols signed in 1891 and 1894; the cession by France of the small possession of Djibouti (French Somaliland); In Libya the rectification of the Italian boundaries of east and west Libya; in the Red Sea, possession of the Farsan Islands; in Asia and the eastern Medi- terranean, the assignment to Italy of continental Asia Minor, with all it's ports on the coast of the Aegan and Mediterranean seas, including AleXan- drette, with the Islam (Turkish) Is- lands, which, owing to their nearness to the coast form an integral part of the continent
