Swedish Socialist leader in his address
to the Social Congress today, asked the
French socialists to take into considera-
ton the results of the Bolshevik system
of Govt. in Russia. He issued a warning
against Bolshevism because in the Boil
shevik regime there is no progression.
The Soviet Govt. meant absolute econo-
mic decomposition, misery and famine.
Berlin, April 3rd.-TerrOrism still
reigns in Munich and the Bavarian Capital
is on the verge of bankruptcy, the Lo, al
Anzeiger says. There is wholesale misery
in Munich and almost all the workers are
idle. What food is arriving there is tax
en- by the communists. Some of the
food is given to women and chill 'ren but
the public kitchen and the hospitals are
robbed of their allowances of food.

said that the Italian Premier had post
poned his departure from Paris until
eight this evening.
Rome, April 23rd. Addressing a
throng that had gathered, Prince Co.
lonna, the Mayor of Rome, asserted
that Italy's right to demand the fruits
of her victory would not have to be
compromised b. hypocritic4l combina-

"Radek". Karl Radek was prominent
as a Bolsheviki agitator in Germany.
Paris, April 24th.-I the Jugo-Slavia
had shown the slightest inclination to
concede any point in the Italian difficulty
the Italians probably would have been
prepared to follow their lead, was a
statement made last night, in French cir
cles. Both sides however, displayed the
utmost stubbornness, the Italians being
too proud to give way. They considered
that as they fought throughout the war
as a solid entity they were entitled to con
sideratiOn on that account, while the
Jugo-Slavs. according to the Italians
views, became an entity only when hos
tilities ceased and after some Of them
had been fighting against Italy. 1t is
recognized that both France and Great
Britain are in a difficult position owing
to the existence of the secret agreeme nt
with Italy as laid down in the treaty in
London.
Paris. April 24th-(Add clause drafted
for insertion in Peace Treaty. the pur-
pose Of this provision is to prevent con-
fusion among the more than twenty

AOIlQOIl, ApIIl Z4Iu. uDIIc OPINION IN
Italy, according to a wireless message
from Rome is much excited against the
peace conference for refusing to recog-
nlze the Italian claims. Apparently there
is a complete truce in party politics and
the newspapers are unanimous in blam-
ing the Allies. 1t is expected that the
feeling is running SO high that it might
have a disastrous influence on Anglo
Italian relations. The Italians consider
that they have been betrayed by the AL
lies. The despatch says: The whole ma
ton is aroused and has rallied to the
support of Orlando and Sonnino. There
is a brave army ready to make every
sacrifice for the realization of their pro-
gramme. Many popular demonstrations
have taken place and the watch word
adopted is "Fiume or Death.
Washington, April oath. The Secre-
tary Tumulty in a statement issued to-
night at the White House said that a
cablegram had been received from Pres
ldent Wilson in Paris giving positive
and unqualified denial to reports that
the President had entered into a secret
alliance and treaty with some of the
Great Powers.
London, April 24th-The Prince of
Wales has been initiated as a Free
mason.
Ottawa, April 24th-A cabIegram from
the Canadian Mission to the Canadian
Trade Commission Ottawa states that
the British Board of Trade has issued
an open general license authorizing the
importation into Great Britain or spir-
its and articles made or containing gold
If produced in and exported from any
British Dominion. These have been
excluded under an earlier order. The
Canadian mission also cables that it
is understood restrictions would be
imposed under the preferential treat
ment accorded goods within the Bri-
fish Empire if they are shipped rom
United States ports.

him tonight.

ever hear from Fife these days? If
only he could get this girl to talk n

he got no answer. Evidently she re-

ashamed Of himself and started to

FOR THEIR HEALTH
Men Looked Forward to Time in
Penitentiary.
Lawyer Left With Some Idea That
the Persuasive Powers Of His
Learned Friend Might Have
Been Better Exercised.

One of the most interesting and elo-
quent old-time pleaders at the Missouri
bar, says Case and Comment, was
Henry Clay Dean. the picturesque law
yer Of Rebel Cove; Putnam county.
The most striking evidence of his per-
suasive powers was not given before
the jury In courtroom, however, but
IN the gloomy corridors Of the old jail
at Kirksville.
Another veteran of the profession.
Judge A. d. Risdon, tells the story.
1t was matter Of pride with Colonel
Dean. he says, that in nine cases out
or ten he could get defendant off In
jury trial. But once he was called
upon to defend couple Of young fell
lows for breaking into a railway car,
ana the evidence was SO strong that
even Colonel Dean saw no way out
except to plead guilty and let the boys
take the lowest sentence. Having
reached this conclusion, Colonel Dean
was admitted to the Jail for talk
with his young clients 1t happened

human could be to result in an acquit-
tai by the jury.
All four men were in the same cor
ridor, and Of course my men could hear
what Colonel Dean was saying to his
clients.
He took a seat between the two
boys, laid n friendly hand on their
shoulders, and began In that smooth.
pleasant way of his to tell them what
life In the penitentiary was. He said
he had been down there and looked all
through the building and saw how Il
was conducted; that the yards, rooms
