EXPECT BATTLE
AGAINST TREATY
Fight May Precipitate Crisis
involving Existence of
Monarchy in Italy.

ROME, Nov. ga hard fight
against ratification OF the peace
treaty, which may precipitate
crisis involving existence of the
monarchy. was indicated here to-
day
Socialist and Catholic deputies, in
the recently elected chamber, will
combine TO defeat the pact, it was
said. The signal for the fight was
expected to be the introduction in
the chamber OF deputies of a royal
decree ratifying the treaty for con-
version into a law. Both the Catho-
lies and socialists who exhibited I'M
usual strength in the recent cleo
ton, have opposed the treaty from
the beginning.
The coming session of the cham
Der of deputies is awaited with con-
siderable misgiving. There is no
precedent in Italian history for re-
lection of a royal decree, especially
in the matter of a peace treaty. The
treaty right is a constitutional pre-
socialist plans succeed. the outcome
Of such a solemn disavowal Of the
kings wishes practically would ne
cessitate his abdication. in the belief
of many Italian leaders.
Oppose Versailles Treaty.
Whether the Catholics will be will
ing to support the socialists in a
fat showdown against the king is
considered doubtful by many. On the
other hand, it is considered certain
they will maintain unfiagging oppo-
sition to the Versailles treaty which,
it was said. the Holy See considers
contains the source of new wars.
Ratification of the treaty also may
be opposed by the nationalist and
pro-war elements who believe italy
has everything to gain by revision of
the terms of the pact. Now that
Prest Wilson's influence no longer
is felt here, these elements foresee-
ing defeat of the Anglo-French de-
fensive alliance from which. they
claim, italy was excluded purposely,
believe that Italy will become the
balance of power in Europe.
Conservative and moderate ele-
ments which in the past usually have
controlled the Italian chamber, hope
to arrive at some compromise and
effect ratification of the treaty with
out offending the crown.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION
OBJECT OF A NATIONAL DRIVE
To be Carried Out by the Railroads
Southern Roads Taking Lead
In Safety Demonstrations

Atlanta. - Genuine interest is
being manifested by the public gem
orally as well as by the vast army of
railroad employees in the approaching
National Railroad Accident Proven
ton Drive, the great "Saftey" dem
onstration to be carried out by the
railroad men October 18 to 81.
G. M. Anderson, Regional Super
visor of Safety, back October 18th
after five weeks trip through the
southern region, announced that the
roads of the South were prepared,
officers and employees are on their
mettle and anxious for the campaign
to start. They are confident that
the South, which originated this
method of demonstrating how lives
can be saved and injuries prevented,
is going to lead the way in the nat
ion-wide competition.
Since the southern region held it's
mo Accident Week" last January,
similar campaigns have been con-
Quoted in other regions, but the re-
ccrd then set for reduction in person
al injuries never las been equalled.
No effort will be spared to keep first
place for the southern lines in the
list of safe railroads. Three humid
red and forty-eight safety" COM
mittees on the various railroads, with
the cooperation of officers and
employees generally, are bending
their energies to that end. Prac-
tically every man on the road, in
shop, roundhouse. station and office,
has expressed individually his inten-
lion to let no one be killed or injur-
I'D through an avoidable accident.
Through the work of safety" or
on railroads under gov
srnment control during the first six
months of this year, as compared
With the same period last year, be-
ore such organizations were formed,
here was reduction of so lives lost
md of 2,507 injuries.
Intensified campaigns such as the
,ne about to start serve to demon
trate forcibly the effectiveness of or
,anization backed by individual CO.
operation.
Word was received from Washing
on recently that interest In the pro-
,ram for the drive had extended be-
lond the United States, and that the
attention of the British and Japan
se railroad managements had been

carload, being the first in the market.
They grow here and ripen in the open
air when the ground in the north is
frozen and covered with snow.
Even where markets are not avail
able they should be grown. Every
farm home should have its berry
patch. They can be had at a COM
paritively small expenditure of time
and effort. The men who obtain re-
suits from their berries consider
them well worth care; besides ad-
ding their bit to the delights of the
table, they have value from a health
standpoint.
Florida will no doubt have mora
visitors next winter and spring than
ever before. The higher rail rates
to California will send more people
here, and they should be given a
chance to enjoy berries.
