THE ITALIAN CLAIMS

With two of the five big powers
represented at Paris most Americans
have lost patience lately, because
they showed so little of the spirit
which has been supposed to animate
the allies in this war, and which Am
ericans have hoped to see prevail in
the peace settlement. Those nations
are Japan and Italy. And of the
two Italy has probably been the more
irritating, because from her more
was expected.
The case has been well put by a
blunt article in the New Republic.
Commenting on the recent state
ment made by the Italian embassy
that,Italy was on the verge of revo-
luton as a result of fuel and food
famine, the writer says:
This being the case, this having
been the case for months, what have
We heard from the Italian govern
ment? That she wants coal and
food; that she wants to start her in
dustries? Not at ALL Fiume and
Dalmatia, Dalmatia and Fiume, nav
al bases, strategic crests, the Adria-
tic as an Italian lake, the frightful
danger to Italy from the non-exist-
ent Jugo-Slav navy, rocks and inlets,
and mountain villages and fishing
ports, and everything but the truth.
When Italy's friends have said
to her statesmen that economic life
could not be revived by strangling
the trade of central Europe, they
would not listen. Faced with an
imminent revolution at home they
have actually threatened twice to
quit the conference at Paris because
they could not plant their flag on
the gates of other peoples territory.
They have wasted sympathy; they
have stirred up no end of irritation;
they have put Italy in the worst pos
sible light before the world.
who pays? The common people
of Italy. The peasants ana the
workmen. They starve. They are
out Of work. They are unassisted
because the Italian officials under
the influence of special moneyed
groups and intoxicated with the no
ton Of being a ruling power have
consistently sabotaged the peace
negotiations, raised a hue and cry
over side issues and left unargued
the real needs of Italy"
This is drastic, but as every well
informed American must recognize,
it is deserved. Italy has endangered
the worlds peace by insisting on the
technical fulfillment of secret
treaty made early in the war offer
ing her not only Trent and Trieste
but also Ffume and the Dalmatian
coast. That was desperate proffer
made by Britain and France at des-
perate time. America had not enter
ed the war. The purposes Of the
allies had not become fixed. The
moral and political issues were not
yet clear The world trusted and
admired Italy because she professed
only to be defending the right and
seeking to bring her own "unre-

CORONER OPENS
 CALLAHAN CASE
Bonini in Solitary Confine- ment Beginning to Rea-
 lize Crime.

Judge Thomas c. Coughlin, who has iseen retained as counsel for Edward Bonini. questioned witnesses on be- half of his client this afternoon when Conorer Phelan started his hearing in the case of the alleged slayer of 16-year-old Joseph Callahan.
 More than 20 witnesses were on hand when the hearing began and it was thought probable that the session might have to be resumed tomorrow morning. Two of the most important witnesses summoned for today were HiiHard Dufrene and William Wares, school cfums of young Callahan, who were with him when he was shot. Bonini is in solitary confinement at the county jail where it is said, that he is beginning to realize the serious ness of his crime. He was at first in clined to be arrogant. The Callahan boys funeral will be held tomorrow morning from the home of the pa- rents on Stratford avenue and later from the Church of the Blessed Sac rament- Burial will be in St. Mi chaefs cemetery.

CLAIM KAISER
 WAR AUTHOR
Wished It and Conducted It Himself In All It's
 Barbarity.

London, March 10-'There is no doubt that the former German em- peror was the first and responsible author of the war. He absolutely wished for it and conducted it himself in all it's ruthlessness and barbarity." This is a. statement attributed to the Prince of Monaco by the Mails Paris correspondent, who interviewed the prince there. The correspondent re- calls that the Prince of Monaco was formerly a personal friend of Elm peror William but that friendship was severed by the prince in a telegram sent to the former emperor in Sep- tember, 1914.
 Until a few years before the war 9 the prince is quoted as saying, the German emperor seemed to sincerely wish peace. But a terrible megalo- mania was growing in him. He was anxious to see Germany over all and from the day he felt it impossible to attain this end by peaceful means, war became an obession with him.

FILE BRIEFS FOR
 BACK PAY AWARD
Appeal to National War La bor Board For Ruling
 on Matter.

Counsel for some of the guards enn- ployed by munitions plants in this city have already filed briefs with the National War Labor board stat ing reasons why these employees should not be barred from back pay awards granted last summer. The board has allowed the employers and employees until March 15 to file these briefs, wllich will later be exchanged by both sides. Opportunity will then be given each side~to file 6 final brief after which the War board at Wash ington will give a decision on the ap- peal. The appeal was taken by the guards and watchmen when it was decided that they were not entitled to back awards.
 On ruling No. 14, which provided that employees who wished to get the back pay must file a written demand before November 1, 1918, briefs have already been received from the Rem ington Ar1ns-U. M. c. Go. and from manufacturers who are members of the Manufacturers association. The final briefs on this ruling are due on or before March r. The War board in Washington will then give a de cision on the appeal as promptly as possible.

In the meantime the original bill has been altered and 1t is said the substitute bill provides for a refer- endum to both Bridgeport and Strat- ford, arranges for a fuller publicity Of the proceedings of the port corn mission provides that members of the commission shall succeed themselves only upon approval of the Common Council of Bridgeport and the select men of Stratford. It is likely the bill will ultimately provide for equal rep resentation of Bridgeport and Strat- ford on the commission.
 It was the absence of these provis- ions in the original measure that caused Alderman MacFayden to offer his resolution and subsequently, the appointment of @. committee to go to Hartford and oppose the bill.
 Therefore it is rather puzzling as to what action the committee will take tomorrow, when the bill gives them some of the provisions they de- manded. It was learned on good authority today that they will pursue the cause for which they were ap- pointed-oppose the measure.
 Stratford appears to be unalterably against the measure, and while off, cials of the Chamber of Commerce and others fathering the Port move ment are hopeful of changing their views in the near future, prospects are not the least hopeful.
 About twenty members of the Chamber of Commerce headed by George E. Crawford and the harbor committee will attend the hearing in addition to & number of other Bridgeporters vitally interested.
 The harbor committee of the Cham iber of Commerce will hold a meeting this afternoon, to discuss-the mat ter.

WOULD PREVENT
 GERMAN OPERA

New York, March 1o.---Efforts to prevent the production of German opera at the Lexington opera house tonight continued today when a com 1nittee of soldiers and sailors ar ranged to call on Mayor Hylan to present petition asking the mayor to use his authority to stop the per formance. This action was decided upon following receipt of a telegram from Governor Smith answering an appeal to intercede. that the mayor. had the power to stop the perform ance.
 Meanwhile the War Camp Commu- nity Service and other patriotic or ganizations continued their efforts to restrain the service men from indulg- ing in anything more than a patriotic demopstTation of protest. strong police guard, it was announced, would be at the opera house tonight in case Mayor Hylan decided to permit the performance

ND PERMANENT
 SCHEDULE YET.
Cars Being Temporarily Routed Over New Tracks
 on Water Street.

Reports that the Connecticut Co. had already started to send cars on a permanent schedule from Congress street over the new Water street tracks to Golden Hill street, were de- nied this morning by Manager J. s. Goodwin of the local division. He said east bound cars were using the new tracks today but this was mere ly temporary and would probably cease tonight at 6 o'clock.
 The change in route was made necessary by the fact that workmen in the employ of Contractors Engle and Havener have been laying special track work on Congress street near the corner of Middle street. During this time traffic to East Bridgeport had to be diverted. It was hoped that the job would be finished yes terday but the bad weather made this impossible. The use of the west bound track on Congress street has not been interrupted. The east bound cars which are using the new tracks today are Barnum avenue, BeardsIey park, Devon, Milford and New Haven lines.
 Manager Goodwin stated that the company will eventually run cars part of the Plaza layout. No route had been decided upon yet, he said. and none will be until there have been further conferences with the traffic commission

WILL ASK FOR WITHDRAWAL OF
 JUDGE WILDER

Hartford, March 1O-The Commit tee on Judiciary has a problem in con nectton with the Bridgeport city court judgeshtp.
 When judicial nominations for Bridgeport first came under the con sideration of the committee the Re publican members of the delegation, obeying 1t Is supposed orders from higher up, advocated, the choice of former Lieutenant-Comma A. L. Merritt, and the committee, 1t is said, took this view.
 Afterward there was a change of sentiment and the Bridgeport delega- tion, Republican portion of it, favor ed the retention of Deputy Judge Frank l.. Wilder. The judiciary com snittee is reluctant to make a change, dts position having been once taken.
 It was said in the corridors today that an effort will be made to get Judge Wilder to withdraw from the contest in the interest of permitting recognition of a man who has seen service.

 March 13.

On Board U. 8. s. George Washing ton, March 10-(By Wireless to the Associated Press)-President Wilson Is suffering from a severe cold and all though 1t was less troublesome today, he remained in his room the greater part of the day on the advice of Rear Admiral Grayson, his medical attend ant, that he keep as quiet as possible.

 The George Washington is expected to arrive at Brest, as originally planned, on March 13, and the Presi- dent will proceed immediately to Paris. Various conferences are being arranged by wireless for him to take place March IA.

DEBS SENTENCE
 IS SUSTAINED
Socialist Leader Must Serve Sentence of Ten Years
 in Prison.

Washington, March 10.-The Su- prene court today sustained the con viction of Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, found guilty of violating the espionage act through statements made in a speech at Canton, O., last June, and sentenced to 10 years i'm prisonment
 In deciding the case the court in ef- feet upheld the constitutionaIty of the so-called enlistment section of the espionage act of 1917.
 The opinion of the court was unant- nous.
 As in the case of the espionage cases decided last Monday, the Supreme court in its opinion again today made no specific ruling upon the constitu- tionality of the espionage act The court based it's opinion largely upon that part of the indictment in charg- ing obstruction of recraiting service, which was unanimously affirmed.

Consternation reigns supreme at police headquarters today, over the receipt of . threafening letter, in which the writer threatens to kill some of the valuable members of the department It Is not a black hand letter. On the contrary, the sender varied the method of procedure to the extent that he enclosed a life sized hand cut from white paper, upon which was written REVENGE The letter was dated March 5, but was delayed because 1t had no stamp, and had to have two cents postage due paid on 1t. There was a picture of & stamp drawn in the stamp corner of the envelope, and on the reverse Eide was written ''do not return"
 The following Is a copy of the let ter:

 There Is no 1719 Colorado avenue; the numbers on that thoroughfare do not run above TOO.

BRIT AIN TO SINK
 SHIP ALLOTMENT
Thus She Will Relieve This Country From Carrying
 Out Naval Program.
FRANCE AND ITALY
 WILL KEEP SHIPS
Desire of American Experts
 to Dispose of Hun Ships Based on Economy.

Paris, March 10-A change in the attitude of the British gov ernment regarding the plan to sink informed German war ships has been observed since Premier Lloyd Georges return to Paris. It now appears prob- able Great Britain will be will ing to permit France and Italy to keep some of the ships, but will consent to sink her owTi allotment.
 Thus Great Britain would relieve the United States from carrying out her projected naval program, which. it is understood, was intended to prevent any one nation from having such a predominant navy as would give her control of the seas against the powers of the League of Nations
 The addition of limited number of the German warships to France and Italy would not sensfbly disturb the present balance of naval power, excluding Austria and Germany,
 The desire of American naval ex- perts that the German ships be elim- mated completely, it is said, is based on considerations of economy as they hold that, if the German ships were given to Great Britain in the propor- ton proposed, the United States would be compelled to spend one billion dollars to maintain her place in the naval lists.
