PLAY MADEFOR
Pre- WAR TRADE
WITH ITALIANS

ROME, June 2 Correspondence of
Associated Press Already German
influence has been exercising itself in
Italy in an endeavor to win back it's
pre-war trade, which annually amount
ed to nearly two hundred million dol
lars-exports and imports.
Interviews recently have been pub
lished in Italian papers which en-
deavor to establish the idea in the
Italian mind that had Germany been
consulted in the matter of Italian
claims at the peace conference Italy
would have secured all that had been
asked. This has been interpreted by
many prominent Italians as purely a
subtle bid for Italian patronage, an
ticipating the resuscitation of friendly
commercial relations between Italy
and Germany.
Chief among the interviews appear
ing in Italy were those of Prince Won
BueIow and Count Won Bernstorff
The former was married to an Italian
and maintains in Italy one Of the most
celebrated villas. Italians contend
that it was his object to solicit Italian
favor when he said
"Fiume is an Italian town and must
go to Italy All it's inhabitants are
Italian except small minority. Every
thing in Fiume is Italian. In fact,
most Hungarians living in Fiume are
more favorable to Italian than to Jugo-
Slav rule"
Count Won Bernstorff seeks in his
interview intended for the italian pe0-
pie to forgive Italy for allying herself
with Germany's enemies. He admits
that had the ancient German despotic
rule won Italy would have never been
is ready to forget the past and start
over again.
His interview given to the Giornale
d'Italia recently has been treated in
the same light as that of Prince Won
Buelow, while Italians are saying of
it, 1--WE prefer to trust in victory than
alternatives"
Count Bernstorff failed to arouse
any great enthusiasm among the Ital-
ians for the proffered forgiveness.
But the Germans have not been
asleep in Italy. Already German goods
are finding their way into the Italian
markets. A Milan newspaper recently
announced that a large shipment of
German jewelry had been received at
the frontier, destined for all parts of
Italy. German printing products,
tourist guide-books and stationery
have been on display in shop windows
for weeks. Some of them were pre-
war stock, but by far the greater part
is new.

INDIANS ARE CHARGED
WITH MANY OUTRACES
COMMITTED BY BANDITS

Ell PASO, Texas, July 3 (by maiD.
-Yaqui Indian depredations in the
Mexican border states are becoming
more frequent, but not all acts of ban
ditry in the Yaqui country can be laid
at the doors of the Indians, according
to advices reaching here from Sonora
cit is a case of giving a dog a bad
name and hanging him." an American
who is familiar with the marauding
activities of the Yaquis reported.
It is the custom in Sonora, he said
for Mexicans to shout "Yaqui' when
ever a foreigner has been killed in
isolated territory, or whenever a fla
grant violation of Mexican law has
been committed anywhere in the sec
ton where Yaquis may be found. Thus
the idea that real Mexican banditry
exists largely in the imagination Of
outsiders. Hence the Yaqui is blamed
for violent acts whether he was re-
sponsible or not.
Yaqui and Mexican bandit bands are
both active, and it is said to be i'm
possible to tell which is guilty of va
rious reported raids, robberies and
murders.

IS YEAR OLD HERO
Tells Army and Navy Club of Exploits
of Corporal William
Gregory.

At the meeting of the Army and
Navy club in the Y. NJ. c. A. last night
Captain Alfred II. GriswoId, who
commanded Company c in France
spoke interestingly of the works of
the Yankee Division. Captain Girls
woIo tol4 OF the company ne com
manded from the time of their loay-
ing Connecticut until he was sent
back to the country as casual
One Of the most interesting nar1s
of the eX-captsin's discourse was the
story OF Corporal William Greeorv's
work. Corporal Gregory is the eight
cen year old member Of COMPANY f
who has been recommended for the
D. S. c., for valor in battle. During
the heavy lighting, Captain Griswold
said, Corporal Gregory was in an
open field under heavy fire when a.
German advanced. Holding his ma
chine gun in his hand, he fired and
nit the Hun between the eyes, killing
him instantly. The German dropped
on Gregory and knocked him to the
ground and at the same time a "po-
tato-masher' hit the spot where the
New Britain corporal had been stand
ing. If the body of the German had
not knocked Gregory to the ground,
he would have been instantly killed.
At the close of his talk. a social
was held and refreshments and
smokes given the members of the
club. "A large attendance was on hand
and several members of Captain Girls
wolds old company had their first
opportunity TO talk over events in the
war with their ex-leader.

To complete some work now in pro-

certain departm ents on level with
others the Fafnir Bearing factory is
to put on a night force. The work
while it is temporary the officials
stated, will be started at once and it
is the desire of the company that the
work be allowed TO run along smooth
ly without one department hindering
the progress Of another.
The reports that the placing of this
night shift would mean the doubling
of the working force at the factory
are unfounded, inasmuch as but about
half the departm of the factory
are to be affected. The sole purpose
of the shift is to expedite work which
has fallen behind in certain parts Of
