REFER The CLAIM
Jugo-Slav Territory Request
Goes to a Committee.
Italians Are Condemning Re-
quest for Wilson To Act.

Paris. Feb. 19.-When the Jugo-
Slavs' claim for territory on the east
ernS shore the Adriatic came before
the supreme council of the peace con-
ference it was tentatively decided that
they would be referred to the COM
mittee to which was entrusted the
examination of the Rumanian de-
mands, says a Havas report. Baron
Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister,
objected to this plan, however, declar-
ing that the treaties dealing with those
territories had been concluded be-
in February, 1918 He said these
treaties were still in existence, and
consequently the signatories 46one
were qualified to change them.
The objection was supported BY Pre-
mier Clemenceau of France, but A.
]. Balfour, British secretary of state
for foreign affairs, proposed a COM
promise which was adopted This
stipulated that claims regarding Bull
garia and Austria Hungary should be
referred to a special commission while
the Adriatic question should be re-
served.
The representatives of France on
the higher economic council, it is an
nounced. will be Etienne Clementel,
minister of commerce; Louis L. Klotz.
minister of finance, and Louis Lou
cheur, minister of reconstruction.
Italians Are Sore Now.
Rome, Feb. 19-The Italian press
Indignantly condemns the step by the
Jugo-Slavs in asking that President
Wilson arbitrate conflicting claims to
territories along the Adriatic. The
Epoca says: Arbitration is a means
for avoiding war, not concluding it
| when it has already been decided by
arms"
Italy can despise the unworthy at
| tacks brought against her." says the
| Idea Nazionale. "She must keep a
| sharp outlook and have faith in her
| self. In that way she way able to give
| her hereditary enemy q mortal blow,
now she must be firm at Paris so that
| her best blood shall not have been shed
| in vain.''
The Corriere d'Italia says: 'It is to
| be foreseen that the Jugo-Slavs and
| their friends will take advantage of
| the effect of Italian refusal to submit
| territorial claims to arbitration on
| public opinion in other countries, espe-
| cialiy America, but this attempt, "
| do not doubt, will fail"

Golf Course-We have estimated the ex-
penses of the golf course at $500. The ex-
penses for 1918 were $3,4S15 80. There was
no unusual work done on the course last
year, and the season was rema rkably dry
requiring less moving and rolling than
usual, SO that the chances are that our
parison of the 1918 figures and the 1919
estimate be made with the figures of prev
ceed those of previous years. This is due
to two causes; first, expenses such as
locker room laundry are now charged to

that were formerly charged to the plant
account. As these requirements are in the
nature of maintenance of dining room IA
cilties. we consider they properly
chargeable to that account. We have esti-
mated the dining room loss at 5000 for 1919
It may occur to you that inasmuch as
there is fair prospect for decline in the
price of food stuffs, the estimate is little
to the fact that the chief item of dining
room expense is labor and that there is
little likelihood IF reducing that element
of expense the coming year.

may be mistaken. So many OF our

how much religion we must have and

Our patriotism is measured by the

how loud we can hollow We are ev-
en- advised how TO run our little $lOO

# DRY LAW INCREASES CRIME 90 PER GENT.
Civil Officials of the Nation Alarmed by Tremendous
 Growth Since July 1

The Association Opposed to Ma tional Prohibition, with headquarters at No 19 West 44th Street, New York after an extensive survey made over the entire country, has found, according to a report recently made public, that a Prohibition law which is impossible of enforcement because it is not sustained by public opinion has brought not only a startling in crease of crime and lawIesness throughout the nation, but also widespread inability or unwillingness to enforce the law.
 '"The cold facts of record says the report, "of which this Association makes public but a few at this time, disclose conditions which leave no room for intelligent doubt that Pro- hibition, ignoring the constitutional rights of the American people, is breeding a dangerous contempt for law in every State in the Union, and is yielding a ghastly harvest of crime and disease The illicit distilling of vile liquors is going on broadcast throughout the country and the 'sbootlegger who peddles the death dealing stuff, within the last six months has developed the status of a national institution"
 Drink Deadly Mixtures.
 Investigation has clearly estab- lished. according to the report, that the people who drank six months ago, before national prohibition went into effect, are drinking now, but instead of the liquor of fixed standards of that time they are drinking moon shine whiskey, mixtures containing wood alcohol, hair tonics, liniTn ents and patent medicines, or any other connection that contains the neces- sary percentage of alcohol to register r kick It seems to make no diff ference, according to the report that some of the III ixtures containing wood alcohol carry with them the menace of almost instant blindness.
 As an example of the crime wave to which the prohibition of the sale of liquor has led, the report refers to the situation in Detroit, where the authorities are quoted as saying that the prisous are inadequate and that there are now more criminals in the State of Michigan than all of the prisons in tLe northern States could hold. The Bou=e of Correction in De- troit according to the report, has become so croN ded since the advent Of prohibition th at it has been neces- eary to build an annex to it, and a Detroit Judge, beToI whom PAS pris- oners were arraigned few days ago, exclaimed: "In all of my years of service in this court l have never been confronted with a coI,ditien like this
