ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS

CHICAGO, April 2s.-Wladek Zbys- zko, the Polish wrestler, now has but one grappler to overcome in order to reach the championship, it was said today by followers of the sport. That one is Sergeant Earl Caddock of the American expeditionady forces, whose return from overseas Is expected so soon that already there is talk of a. match between the Pole and the soldier in July.
 Zbyszko clinched his right to be Caddock's challenge by defeating Ed. tStrangler) Lewis a second time, in a match here last night, pronounced one of the most spectacular contests of the kind that has taken place in Chicago. The men wresled two hours, 14 min utes and nine seconds, the end coming like flash with side roll and body scissors, after a headlock-the seventh Lewis had secured during the match had slipped.
 For the greater part of the wrestling time Lewis was aggressor, but could not pin his skillful antagonist to the mat.
 By the terms of the match. a fall was to decide the contest 1T one was not procured within two hours wrest- ling time,

EUROPE At a Glance
By the Associated Press

With everything virtually in readi- ness for the handing over of the peace treaty t othe Germans at Versailles, the Italian situation looms large as an impediment in the way of unanimous agreement on the part of the entente and associated governments.
 So tense is the situation that Vito rio Orlando, Italian premier, at 8 con ference with Thomas Nelson Page, the American ambassador to Italy, left MT. Page with the understanding that the premier did not intend to return to Paris for the signing of the peace treaty.
 Premier. Orlando gave the ambasSa- dor the impression that, owing to the critical situation and the fact that the premier's action either is going to Yer ,sailles or remaining away from the peace conference, would have seriooz consequences, it would be preferable to have the trouble come from without Italy rather than from within thS kingdom.
 A dispatch from Paris says thai while the non-return of Orlando would give the situation a more serious as pect than did the departure Of tht I and associated powers would proceed to the signing of the treaty, notwith- standing Italy's non-participation
 The main German delegation has ar rived at Versailles, but it is probabl, the peace treaty will not be delivered to them until Friday, as on the prev ious day, May day." 8 24-hour strike which will dislocate transportation ant communications, is planned by labo unions.
 The council of three conferre, throughout Tuesday with Baron Ma kino and Viscount Chinda of the Jap Kiau-Chau and with the Belgian dele | gates who are pressing for the pay ment of their share of the reparations | No definite decision on either questioi was reached.
 The British peace delegation ha l given out it's views with regard to tha section of the covenant of the leagl | of nations dealing with the Monro Doctrine, It is declared that the Mon roe Doctrine and similar understand ings have shown themselves in his tory to be not instruments of nations ambition but guarantees of peace" | is expressly stated that the Monro Doctrine "has become an internations understanding"
 It is reported that the first meetin
 of the league of nations probably wi
 be held in the White House at Wash
 ington next October, with Woodro' Wilson presiding.

Stolen property amounting to more than 5000 was recovered at the same time.
 Two members of the alleged .gang. which is said to have been headed by a woman, Josefa Mccormick. vera caught Monday night after robbing the home of M. J. McCauley. 1OSI North Seventh street walking almost into the arms of officers searching for them. The others were arrested ae different times during the night- Tho woman member of the supposed gang has not been definitely linked with the McCauley robbery.
 The first arrest made was that of Frederico Barru and Juan Avaio. by Officers Graham and Hastings, who noticed that Barru looked like a man wanted for the theft or three guns from the Gem second hand store. One of the guns was found on Barru. with a.
  been part of property stolen ffom tho home of E. A. Melczer, lo0l North First street
 This led Acting Night Captain Cut- Ter to investigate, and he sent De- tectives Jack McGrath anc Bles ana Officer Carl Feuerriegel to Barrl'a home. There they found Manuel ochos and Francisco Romero, who are al- legged to have footed the McCauley home a short time before, being fright ened away before they were able to carry off all their booty. Romero and Ochoa when searched, had a teIegrans taken from the McCauley norse. and a search of the premises revealed other property taken from the McCauley place
 The investigation next led the of. ficers to the home of Josefa McCor- mick, who is alleged to have been the queen of the gang, though the various connections between the men and the woman have not yet been strengthened out. There the officers found practic- ally all the property stolen from the Melczer home ten days aSu, including clothing, jewelry and silverware, the total being valued at 5000. Goods were also found there which indicated the woman and the alleged gang had been concerned in a numper of other robberies.
 According to the police. the gang has been in operation for over a year being particularly active during tn, last few months. Its speciality is Ssi, to have been housebreaking. Express receipts found at the Mccormick plsci gave rise to a police theory that stolel goods had been shipped to Tucson fo
 disposal by confederates.
