Dalmatiian Claim Held
Ground for Future Strife
(By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March 1s-Resent-
ment of Italy's action in occupying
Dalmatia is expressed in an editorial
OF Samouprava, the semi-official or
gan of the Jugo-Slav government, re-
ceived here today by the official in
formation bureau of the Kingdom Of
the Sarbs, Croats and Slovenes.
The editorial states that if Italy
attains her claims for Dalmatia "the
personus seed of future dissensions
and strifes will be spread between the
Jugo-Slavs and the Italians, breaking
the friendship between two nations
whose common interest is to live in
concord and mutual confidence"
Revision of secret treaties recogniz-
ing Italy's demands for Dalmatia is
urged in the editorial on the ground
that they were made without the con-
sent or knowledge of the people of
that country. Alleged brutalities of
Italian military authorities in occu-
pied Adriatic territory are deplored
as "darkening the political horizon
between our country and Italy and con-
stituting q source for many future sor-
rows for both nations"

TROOPSH|PS ARE
HELD IN HARB0R
BY CREW STRIKE
Sailing Schedules Delayed by
New Iie-up in Harbor Situa-
ton.
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 18.-Marine
workers on strike here threatened to-
day to withdraw crews from all boats
operated by the army and navy unless
union crews on chartered tugs and
boats are paid the same wage scale
as is paid by the railroad administra-
ton. The crews of fourteen tugs
chartered to coal troop ships walked
out yesterday when they learned they
were to be paid at the old scale and
not the increased wages under the
agreement recently made between the
unions and the railroad administra-
tions, the army and navy and the ship
ping board.
The sailing schedules of the Adriatic
and other troop ships are expected to
be delayed from two days to two weeks
by this new tie-up in the harbor sit
uation. Further complications are
looked for when the unions take up
complaints today that a secret pact
exists between the railroad admins
tration and the private boat owners.
The controversy between the unions
and private boat owners was apparent
ly far from solution today, the union
leaders demanding an eight-hour day
as basis of settlement and the own
ers refusing to concede it.

PERSHINC PRAISES
AMERICAN WOMEN
(By Associated Press)

COBLENZ, Monday, March IL
Praise of the part taken by American
women in the war was expressed this
morning by General John ]. Pershing
while inspecting five Third army evac-
uation hospitals here.
Without doubt America could not
have carried out her part in the con-
flict as she did If it had not been for
the willingness and courage of the
nurses and others who came to care
for the sick and wounded in France
and the loyal support of patriotic wom-
en- at home" he said. Despite the
fact that America was in the war only
a comparatively short time her med
ical and hospital service was not ex-
celled by that Of any other warning
nation"
At each Of the five hospitals he
talked informally to nurses, doctors
and orderlies, telling them Of the i'm
portant work still to be done in car
ing for the sick and injured. He talk
ed to many of the patients and visit
ed virtually all the wards of the hos
pitfalls, where approximately three
thousand Americans are patients
These hospitals were erected by the
German government and used by the
enemy during the war.
At one hospital, the commander In
chief visited a number OF American
soldiers who are Inconsistencies, find,
ing them engaged in woodworking and
fashioning various souvenirs from old
German shell cases. Others were sew.
ing and doing odd bits of works, the
plan of treatment being to keep the
minds of patients on anything rather
than themselves.

States.
A general speaking and publicity
campaign against the world league
will be outlined by the sponsors for
the new organization that will be In
tended to counteract the campaign
that has been carried on for some
time by the League to Enforce Peace.
A team of speakers against the league
will tour the country substantially In
the tracks Of the Taft party in its
cross-country tour a few weeks ago.
Furthermore, newspaper publicity
will be resorted to as much as possi-
BILE, and competent corps of pubicists

1t is possible, although not by any
means settled, that representatives
will be sent to Paris in an endeavor
to give the peace delegates view of

because of the French censorship.
Local societies or clubs will be or

ers can be found willing to undertake
the work. To them will be left the
arrangement Of meetings, and the CEN
trail organization will see to 1t that
these meetings are supplied with the

ONE Man KILLED,
ANOTHER HURT
IN COLLISION

CENTERVILLE, Ind, March 1S.-
James Moore, 60 years old, residing
near the old Driving park at Rich
mond, was killed instantly, and Ben
jamin Abbott, 33 North Fifth street,
Richmond, was badly bruised when a
westbound limited car of the T. H. 1.
& E. Traction company smashed into
the automobile in which they were
driving, just east of the property Of
Wilfred Jessup, late this afternoon.
Abbott was taken to Richmond in
an automobile and it is believed will
recover. The exact cause of the acci-
dent has not been ascertained. Abb
bott said they were driving east and
too near the interurban car, which
sideswiped the automobile, spilling out
the occupants and smashing the Ford.
An inspection of the scene, specta-
tors said, showed that the car had
taken an erratic course on the Nation
al road for some distance east of Cen
terville.
Abbott and Moore were visiting the
latter's son, who resides on the La
mmott farm, south of Centerville. Alb
bott has had charge Of the county
prisoners who were worked on the
public highways.
Both legs of Moore were broken and
his head was crushed. The interur-
ban car did not run over the body. 1t
is believed that impact of the collision
killed him outright. Abbott was
thrown out of the car.
The Ford car was smashed out of
semblance of shape.
Moore's body was taken to the in
terurban station at Centerville by the
train crew. and Abbott was hurried
to Richmond in an automobile. He
was unable to give coherent expla-
nation of the accident, and for some
time was uncertain whether his COM
panion was Moore or a man named
Simpson, residing near Hagerstown
Some witnesses said the Ford was
stalled on the tracks when the inter-
urban smashed into it.

HOUSE SHORTAGE
PROBLEM TO BE
FACED BY CITY
Small-Sized Rentable Houses
Are Greatly Needed in Rich
mond Now.

Richmond is facing a serious short
age OF moderate sized, rentable
houses. Hundreds of houses, of from
hVe to seven rooms, would be occu-
pied at once if they were to be built.
With few exceptions, every attrac-
tive home in the city, to be rented at
moderate price, is occupied, and
scores Of people who want homes are
being forced to occupy furnished
rooms, and wait for their chance to
rent or buy house.
Unless something Is done to relieve
the situation by building the outlook
for the coming months looks even
worse, for the town is expected to
fill up more and more as the spring
opens and the soldiers come back.
The property which is in the most
demand is that of moderate size and
rental. From five to seven rooms,
with bath, is the size Of the home
which is most wanted, and which the
people cannot get.
Hundred of persons now in Rich
mond or would like to come, to be en-
ployed by factories and businesses
here, are either being discouraged
from coming because they can not
house their families properly, or may
be forced to leave for lack of houses,
say local real estate men.
A very few houses remain unrented,
but these are either in undesirable
neighborhoods or are old and without
modern conveniences. Estimates of
the number Of houses which could be
rented run from 100 to 500, with the
truth probably somewhere between. 1t
certain ~
houses, more than Richmond has now,
would be filled, either by sale or rent,
in short time.
Sales Are Brisk
Sales, while brisk, are not abnormal,
and there is plenty of property to be
had If buyers care to pay the price
for 1t, say dealers. Prices, while not
high, are regarded large in proportion
to the rents which can be obtained,
and for this reason people are prefer
ring to rent rather than buy, and buy
ing as an investment, with the view
of renting, is regarded as poor busi-
ness right now.
The scarcity does not extend to high
priced or even moderate priced resi-
dences, either for sale or rent, as there
are several OF these to be had. 1t IS
the smaller house which is in demand
While all apartments in town, SO
far as can be learned, are occupied,
and can be filled instantly when a
tenant leaves, there has been no ex-
traordinary demand for them. It is
the smaller residence. in a good loca-
tion, and at reasonable price, which
is wanted and for lack of which Rich
mond is losing desirable citizens every
day.

OPINION
ASKED BY ROPER
IN LIQUOR CASES
Department of Justice to De-
eide Status of Non-Intoxi-
eating Beer.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1S-Whether
the internal revenue bureau has au.
thority to enforce it's rule against the
sale Of beer containing one half OF
one percent or more Of alcohol will
be put up to the department of justice
Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper
today decided to ask for an opinion
on the subject.
The question was raised by an.
nouncement of New York brewers
that they would resume manufacture
and sale of beer containing not more
than 3-4 per cent alcohol considering
this non intoxicating.
Commissioner Roper discussed the
subject today with deputies of the
bureau in charge of enforcing liquor
laws, but found the various laws and
food administration regulations were
so complicated that legal opinion
would be necessary before he could
decide whether to enforce the bu
reau's ruling.
Based on State Decisions
This ruling promulgated recently
permitted the manufacture of beer
containing not more than PA per
cent alcohol but provided that before
sale the alcoholic contents must be
reduced to not more than one half OF
one per cent.
Revenue bureau officials explained
today that the one half percent limit
prescribed by that ruling was based
on precedents and on court decisions
of number of states. State laws and
regulations vary, however, and com
missioner Roper said he knew spe-
officially of no federal law or court de-
cision prescribing one half per cent
as the limit of alcoholic contents for
Notwithstanding beer.
AS soon as the solicitor of the reve.
nue. bureau of the department of JUS
tice have rendered opinions, Commits
sioner Roper will decide what course
to pursue.
Coincident with the decision Of the
internal revenue bureau to ask the de.
partment Of justice whether it had the
authority to enforce the regulation
prohibiting production of beer except
that Of less than one-half Of one per
cent alcoholic content, defenders in the
brewery stockholder suit brought here
last week to test the constitutionality
of the wartime prohibition act, an.
nounced that they had invited the CO.
operation Of the government in the
defense.
