AMERICA WARNS
ITALY AGAINST
SUPPLY DELAYS
Country Notified That Food
Shipments Will be Cut Off
by u. S.

WASHINGTON, March Italy has
been warned by the American gov.
eminent that unless she puts an end
to delays in movement of relief sup
plies to the newly established Jugo-
Slavic and Czecho- Slavic states, steps
will be taken to cut Off the flow OF
American foodstuffs to Italy.
1t was stated today in an authori-
tative quarter that the Italian govern
ment had caused intolerable condi-
tions by the blockade she has imposed
against the Jugo-Slavic countries, and
which operates also against the
Czecho- Slovaks. The blockade has
not been wholly effective, but many
delays have been caused.
Reports from Paris of the existence
OF chaotic conditions because of the
blockade have not been confirmed
here, but it is known that such un-
necessary suffering has been caused,
directly attributable to the stand TAX
en- by Italy. News from Paris that
representatives Of Great Britain and
France in the Supreme Council were
outspoken in their condemnation of
the attitude Of Italy, had been cabled
to the United States, but the action
of the American government in send
ing it's warning to Italy was taken be-
fore that news came.
No reply has yet been made by the
Italian government.

Brigadiers Are Returned
To Regular Army Rank
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March Return
Of Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell who
acted as judge advocate general dur
ing the war, and eleven other brigad-
iers to their regular army ranks is
provided in an order by Secretary
Baker published today.
General Ansell who will return to
the rank of lieutenant colonel to
which he was commissioned May Is,
1917, recently testified before con-
gressional mi litary committees
against unduly severe court martial
sentences and has been one of the
central figures in the resulting con-
troversy. In announcing the order
Secretary Baker declared that demo
tons came through the process of re-
turning the army to a pre-war status
and that the fact that General Ansell
was among the number had mo rela-
ton to the controversy which has re-
suited with regard to the administra-
ton of military justice and clemency."
In another announcement Secretary
Baker made known that Brig. Gen. Ed
ward A. Kreger had been ordered to
return from France to become acting
judge advocate general during the abb
sence of Major General Enoch II.
Crowder in Cuba. Gen. Kreger was
commissioned lieutenant colonel in
the regular army on the same day
that General Ansell was promoted to
that rank.
