Use Bayonets in
Attack on Ghost

MILAN, Italy, Nov lS.--The great
arsenal and powder magazine in the
castle of Godego, near the town of
Castelfranca Veneto, is unguarded.
The scntries who are posted there have
fled in alarm at the repeated nightly
visits of a strange spectral form.
A few nights ago a soldier was
mounting guard over the magazine
when a luminous human figure from
whose head issued tongues of fame,
appeared before him at a distance Of
about twenty feet. The sentinel gave
he alarm, and the entire guard hur-
ried to the spot. The specter had in
the meantime vanished, but shortly
lfter the arrival Of the soldiers it re-
appeared The whole company then
fred their rifles at the figure, which
instantly dissolved into great ball
Of fire, finally melting away into
space.
The following night the apparition
was once more seen. A Sicilian SOL
dier of the guard approached the
figure with a number of his com
oanions, and an attack was made on
It with the bayonet. Their furious
thrusts, however, encountered no tang
ible resistance, and the phantom dis
}ppeared in a few minutes in n fiery
halo, which was speedily dissolved
nto the atmosphere.
The consequence Of the strange oc-
;urrence has been that all the SOL
Tiers have fled from the spot; leav-
;ng the depot, which is crammed with
explosives, entirely unguarded, In
he absence of the men, a dozen Of
icers volunteered to act as sentries
bending an official inquiry into the
fair.
Meanwhile, four Of the soldiers
Who were visited by the apparition
have gone out of the,r mind. They

that he was hit by an automobile
Still others advance the theory thai
while on his way to his home on the
Ridge pike, he stumbled and fell ovel
the abuttment on either side Of the
"ailroad trestle. Mr.. Sexton had beer
employed in the construction of the
new apartment house, on SummeN

Treaty Reservations

PARIS, NOV. l8.-Great Britain
will disregard reservations to the
peace treaty adopted by the United
States Senate, it is learned from a
semiofhcial source
The situation created by the delay
in ratification by the Senate was dis
cussed at conferences in London by
Stephen Pichon, the French Foreign
Minister; Premier Lloyd George, Win
ston Spencer Churchill and Arthur j,
Balfour. it became know here today
In the French Foreign Office The
idea prevails that while ratification
Of the treaty has been delayed by
the Senate. it will doubtless, ulti~
mately be voted. and that the allies
need not be concerned over the mani
festations of American internal poll
tics or directions to the government
as to how TO apply the treaty.
But should the American Govern
ment request the allies to take notice
of reservations and assent to them
formally, it is understood semi-ofti-
cially, neither London nor Paris will
acquiesce.

Bill Is Proposed TO Put
AU Aliens on Probation
Chairman Johnson of House Immigration Commit
tee to Propose Deportation of Foreigners; {;
Ellis Island s'Strikers Refuse to Eat Turkey

Probation for immigrant aliens who
desire to become American citizens
will be urged at the next session of
Congress by Representative Albert
johnson, Of Washington, chairman of
the House Committee on immigration,
as result of the committees hear
ings at Ellis Island, it was announced
yesterday. The committee will resume
its sessions to-day.
The johnson proposal, which is in
corporated in bill now before the
committee, would provide that imm-
grants must register at the port of
entry, agreeing not to renouncc allie
glance to their mother countries dur
ing a stated period and to notify the
authorities of any change in their
address.
81 don't believe in making aliens
citizens right off the bat" said Rep
resentative Johnson. "a strict pro
bationary period should come first
During that period the alien would
have a chance to definitely decide
citizen, and the government would
be able to deport him if he did not
live in accordance with the laws of
the land"
Other Reforms Proposed
Another proposed act. Mr.. johnson
made known, would eliminate the sys-
tenn whereby the wife and minor chill
drcn of naturalized person are auto
matically endowed with citizenship.
Members of the committee voiced
favorable opinions of the suggestion
to repeal the tiveyear limitation on
the deportation of aliens who enter
the country illegally.
Sentiment for lifting this statute is
especially strong on the Pacific Coast
where Japanese, who are smuggled
into the United States, can defy de-
portaton if they escape apprehension
for five years.
The committee is exercised over the
1mmi igration Departments delay in
issuing a deportation warrant for Hy-
man Lachowsky, who, Federal Judge
Learned Hand intlmcted Wednesday
would be set free on habeas corpus
unless the warrant was Forthcoming to-
