City Would Sell Navy
Food Through Crocers
La Cuardia Suggests Plan to
Dispose of $4,O00,OOO
Surnlus

Upon the receipt of information that
the navy had discontinued the sale of
surplus food through DR.. Jonathan c,
Day, formerly Commissioner of Markets.
Acting Mayor La Guardia yesterday;
suggested plan to have the $4,000, 900
worth Of surplus food still in the hands
of the navy sold to the people of the
city by the retail grocers. Major La
Guardia said he believed he could get
the cooperation Of the Retail Grocers'
Association, He declared his plan
would 40 away with profits of any
kind, all of which would go to the
consumer and the housewife.
His statement follows:
so far as l can see, very little direc
benefit has accrued to the consumers
from the sale Of surplus army or navy
food. The navy still has over $4,000
worth of food, which can be disposed
of, and l am willing to cooperate if I
am certain the consumer will derive
the benefit.
"My plan is to have this food sold
by the retail grocer, if I can arrange
to have the retail grocer agree to pub
lish on the outside Of his store and on
the inside and also In the papers each
day with the address of the grocer. a
list of the food and the quantity which
ne ne acquires daily, from surplus navy
food, and sell at the price agreed. This
would tend to bring down prices gener-
ally, which has failed to be accom-
pllshed by the system heretofore used"

Ital y-America Society to
Dine New Ambassador

Prominent citizens of New York will
attend the dinner to be given on Tues
day night in honor OF Baron Romano
Avezzana, the new Italian Ambassador
to this country, by the Italy-America
Society.
Baron Avezzana has been called the
trouble man. of the Italian diplomatic
corps. Successive ministries at Rome
have sent him hurrying half way
around the globe to take charge Of
hair trigger" situations in various
foreign capitals. For his present mis-
sion to this country, the most impor-
tant Of his brilliant career, he has
served a thorough apprenticeship, by
no means the least part of which was
his service in Washington years ago as
secretary of the Italian Embassy. 1t
was during that time he won his Amer
lean wife, formerly Miss Jacqueline
Taylor, of st. Louis.
The honeymoon trip of the young
Italian diplomat and his American wife
was around the world to Pekin, where
the baron had been appointed First Sec
retary Of the Italian Legation. In
China he showed marked ability in
settling the complicated situation aris-
ing from the Boxer rebellion.

Obituary
]. Trombley, Warden, Dies
He Was in Charge of Clinton

He Was in Charge of Clinton
Prison for Seven Years
John Trombley, warden Of Clinton
Prison at Dannemora for seven years,
died Saturday morning Of pneumonia.
Mr.. Trombley was we'll known to the
criminals Of New York City and was
dreaded by them. The most desperate
lawbreakers Of the city who were SEN
fenced to Sing Sing were sent to Dan
nemora in recent years.
Mr.. Trombley was born in Clinton
County fifty-two years ago. He was
in the automobile accessory business
in Plattsburgh, when John B. Riley,
Superintendent Of Prisons, named him
warden Of Clinton in 1919 to succeed
Harry Kaiser. Trombley frightened dis
cipline at Dannemora as soon as he
took charge. The Dannemora institu-
tion for many years was called the
"Siberia Of America" Thomas Mott
Osborne, formerly warden at Sing
Sing, tried to install the Mutual We'll
fare League at Dannemors, but Tromb-
ley fought to keep out Osborne's re-
form measures, and triumphed. Mr..
Trombley was formerly an Assembly
man from Clinton County and was we'll
known in state politics. He was
member Of the Plattsburgh Council,
Knights Of Columbus. He is survived
by his wife and eight children.

Irish Pastoral Letters
Ass0iI British Rule

BELFAST, Feb. 22.-1n his pastoral
letter, read to-day in all Catholic
churches in the Archdiocese of Cashel,
Archbishop Harty sayss aY6
1--WE are living under a government
which has proved itself an abject fail
ure. Neither based on the consent of
the nation nor working for the good of
the community as whole, it has
trample on the will of the people and
upheld the ascendancy Of the pampered
minority. History tells us that where
such system reigns the laws of God
are set aside, coercion and crime go
hand in hand and peaceful citizens are
made the victims Of the vicious circle,
"The remedy for the Irish upheaval
Is obvious. Since freedom is the best
solvent of political disorder, the
traditional loyalty Of the Irish people
to the laws of God will prevail in the
full when the days Of oppression have
passed away forever, and when our
people have in their own hands the
making Of the administration and their
own laws"
The murder campaign is denounced
IN pastora! letter by Bishop Foley,
of Carlow, who said
ut is nothing short of appalling to
think that group Of Irishmen, who
in all probability profess the Catholic
faith, should suffer themselves to be
drawn or driven into a conspiracy for
the purpose of taking human life with
out particle Of justification from any
source. human or divine"

Dublin Curfew
Decree Is Held
Bid for Riots
Sinn Feiners Assert Order
of Government Invites
Trouble and Belief Is
Disorders Will Increase
Soldiers Ordered to Fire
Anyone Who Fails to Answer
Tropps' Challenge Faces
Bullets, Ruling Provides

DUBLIN, Feb. 22.-The govern
ment's decree ordering the population,
beginning tomorrow night, 70 stay
indoors between the hours Of midnight
and 8 a. m. provides for the use of
armed soldiers In the streets, who may
shoot anyone who fails to answer their
challenge.
Although not unexpected, the order
has created Intense bitterness among
the Na.ionalists. Some Sim F&iners
say the government is inviting trouble
and the general belief is that the risk
of disorder will be increased and not
diminished. 1t 10 pointed out that
nearly every recent case of shooting
has occurred long before midnight and
that the attack made few weeks ago
on Field Marshal Viscount French,
Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, was made
lists approve the decfee.
Night Workers Affected
Fixing. the hour at midnight will
cause minimum interference with the
normal lie Of Dublin, which has few
night entertainments and goes to bed
early, but it will affect large class of
night workers, who are alarmed at the
announcement that virtually no one
except clergymen, doctors and nurses
will get the necessary permits to be
out of doors between the hours men,
toned.
When applied to for permits to-day
the police said they had nothing to do
with their distribution and that the
whole matter was in the hands Of the
military.
The order creates an interesting
puzzle for the new corporation, as
nearly all city cleaning is done at night.
A cleansing committee will consider
this phase Of tho situation at special
meeting Monday
Car Service Not Hit
Electric lighting is under control of
the corporation and the mon connected
with this service work in shifts. A
slight alteration in hours would avoid
Inconvenience. The gas company is
applying for permits for its workers.
AS streetcar service inside the city
is virtually shut down before midnight,
it will not be affected.
Dublin had previous experience Of
much more stringent order under
Major General Sir John Maxwell
after the rebellion in 1916. It was then
necessary to remain indoors between.
the hours of p. m. and q. m.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Retail meat
dealers throughout the country must
reduce their prices as the Wholesale

their books to Federal agents, for in
vestgation Of their profits.
This definition Of the governments
attitude was announced tonight by At
torney General Palmer. Instructions to
serve the notice on all retail meat
dealers have been sent to every United
States District Attorney, he said.
"Tor three months the price Of meat
has been falling" said Mr.. Palmer.
"The retail dealers have claimed that
their supplies were old stock prchased
at the higher prices. The old stocks
should be exhausted by this time, and
unless the price to consumers comes
down we will have to look into the
question of the dealers profits"
Mr.. Palmer's pronouncement on the
meat price situation followed the pub
lication by the Institute Of American
Meat Packers of bulletin announcing
the practical cessation of foreign

Columbia to Change
Its Honors System
Students of Marked Ability May
Become Candidates for
Degree Under Plan

Another important departure from
academic tradition by Columbia Uni
verslty will be made next September,
according to an announcement yester-
day, by Herbert f. Hawkes., dean.
Radical changes will be made in the
honors system of the college, by which
certain students of marked scholarly
ability become candidates for a degree
with honors. The present method will
be expanded and placed under closer
faculty supervision.
The details of the new system were
announced by Dan Hawkes. as follows:
"All students who declare themselves
as candidates for honors will be given
a list of books upon which, in the judg-
ment of the faculty of Columbia Col
lege, our civilization in large measure
depends. These books will cover a
wide range of subjects and will in
clude works of history, science, eco-
nomics, philosophy, etc. Under the di-
rection Of men whose study of the
books has been thorough, the students
will be required to read the books in
dicated, discuss them and study them.
Once a week the honors group will
meet and the books will be discussed.
another phase Of the honors work
will be the selection by each candi-
date of some particular field of study

This work is limited only by the re-
sources of the university and the
ability and diligence of the man him

mended that group Of members of
the teaching staff be appointed to serve
as honors directors, each of whom will
guide and supervise the honors work
of the candidates whom he accepts.
These faculty members will constitute
committee in charge of the entire
honors program. Each candidate for
honors will be required to pursue for
two years common course Of reading,
and in return will receive a total Of
six points Of academic credit for each
of the four terms of honors work

Bolsheviki Mass
New Forces Along
Polish Frontier
Seven Divisions Added to
'Red' Strength; Socialists
Urge Negotiations With
Lenine as Menace Grows

WARSAW. Feb. 22-Bolshevik con-
centration along the Polish front con-
tinues, according to reports reaching
here from military observers. It is
stated that seven infantry divisions
which we're relieved by the collapse Of
the Yudenitch, Kolchak and Denikine
forces, have arrived at various points
opposite the Polish army and are pre-
pairing to fill the gaps in the Bolshevik
line.
Several new divisions are reported
to have arrived at northern central rail
terminals, where their commanders are
planning methodically for an offensive
If peace negotiations are unsuccessful.
The Polish forces are fully prepared
to meet an attack, although it is con-
sidered impossible for the Bolshevik
army to open an offensive before the
snow melts. The present concentration
is regarded largely as a "grandstand
play" to back up the Bolshevik peace
note.
Mass meetings favoring peace have
been held in Cracow, Lemberg,
Przemysl and other cities and towns
In most instances they were called by
socialists. Similar meetings have been
planned throughout Poland in the cam
paign for urging the government to
open negotiations with the Russian
Bolsheviki for peace.
Discussion Of the situation in the
newspapers continues at length. The
Liberal newspapers and the neutral
Nationalist organs continue their
strenuous campaign against the open
ing Of peace pourparlers. They ques-
tion the sincerity of the Soviet gov
ernment's proposal contending that the
concentrations of Bolsheviki are proof
that they are planning a spring Of
fensive.
These newspapers assert that the
only way to face Bolshevism is by hold
ing greater army than the Bolsheviki
and strength ening Poland's lines at the
front. On the contrary, the Socialist
organs are favorable to peace dis
cussions. They assert that the Allies
90 not intend to wage further war with
Russia, and that therefore Poland will
be left alone to face the enemy.
The Ukrainan diplomatic corps in
Warsaw has delivered a note to the
Polish government and to the Allied
representatives here demanding the ad-
mission of Ukrainian representatives
to the conference if peace negotiations
are opened with the Soviet government.
