Bill McKecknie, the veteran in- fielder, who has served on clubs in the National, American and Federal Leagues, and who retired from base ball last year to take a position near his home in Williamsburg, suburb of Pittsburgh, probably will return to the game this spring. Bill is on the reserve list of the Pirates at present and has confided to his friends in Pittsburgh that he is sure he can earn a regular berth on George Gib- sons team. McKecbnie never was 8 great player, but he was a good one, and it is generally believed that he has not yet slipped back so far as to be useless to major league club. At any rate, Bill plans to make the trip to Hot Springs with the Pirates and there satisfy himself whether or not he can make a sue. cessfu1 comeback.

RECOVERY OF WHITE GOODS
 TRADE SLOW

Armentieres, Dec. 30.---Recovery of the white goods industry in France from the blow dealt by the war has been retarded, it is said here, by the shortage of flax, due to the isolation Of Russia, the great source of supply.
 Notwithstanding the lack of raw materials. however, the industry which before the war centered in 32 mills here and employed more than 90 .0oa persons in the district around Lille, is steadily growing in rebuilt factories
 Only 1,500 persons are at work in three mills here as compared with 1e, 900 employed in 1914. according to information given the correspondent of The Associated Press today, in the course of his govern1nent-arrange trip to the war-torn regions. Only one of these, it was stated. is turning out linen or cotton sheeting.
 Power in the other two plants is available only at intermittent periods because the Germans took away gen. orators, boilers and copper fixtures with the result that the mills are forced to resort to makeshifts to get
 electric energy.
 In Armentieres alone, when the war broka out, there were 10000 looms and spinning machines. Most of these were carried off by the Germans and the rest were stripped of their vaIua- ble parts or disabled.
 Government statistics say the linen industry as a whole has resumed op- erations in one-third of the mills, but with only a little more than six per cent of the pre-war force. Officials express confidence that the manufac- ture of white goods will be at full out put within two or three years.

NEW YORK MAY
 FORBID USE OF RUBBER GAS TUBE

New York, Dec. So-Steps to save life by forbidd4ng the use of rubber gas tubing are eonke1np plated by the city thoritdes, it has been learned. As the result of disclosures by the medical examiners office that most of the city's accidental asphyxiations in cold wather are due to 1eaky rub Der tubing connecting pipes with gas heaters, an ordinance has been intro duced in the board of aldermen re- quiring metal tubing Or pipe to be used.
 Forty-six accidental deaths from gas occurred in New York city dur ing November last and 43 in the cor responding month a year ago, the fig ures being more than doubled with the arrival of winter. Medical ex- aminers found that tubing was, the cause in three fourths of the cases. In many instances the rubber was worn by use so that 1t leaked, and gas flooded the house while the fam lily was asleep. Sometimes a member of the household steps on the tube inadvertently and shuts off the flow of gas for an instant. Then he re- tires and the gas flows on without ig- milton.

ITALYS HANDLING
 OF PLUME CASE
 IS ALL BLUNDERS
Gen. Robilant Unsparing in Criticism of Situa- tion.

Rome, Sunday, Dec. zs-ItAay's handling of the Plume situation has from the first, been a succession of blunders, said General Robilant, speaking in the Senate this after noon.
 General Robilant, who was com mander of the fourth army during the war, Italian representative on the inter allied military commission at Versailles and member of the com mission which conducted an inquiry into disorders at Plume last July, was unSparing of his criticism and closed by declaring:
 'Discontent is creeping into the army because of injustices which have been committed, but I trust Italy will triumph over all present diff cuIties."
 Plume, which the speaker describ- ed as an Italian "oasis," determined he asserted, to remain Italian and not to become Croatian before the ''Fiume question: existed and while l interest of Italians was centered on l Trent and Triest. In support of his l declarations, he pointed out that the l treaty of London gave Plume to Croa- | tia.
 l For this reason. the plebiscite at l Plume could not be recognized by | l trary to the pact of London, nor l could Italy proclaim annexation of l Plume because the allies would neith- l CT have permitted nor acknowledged 1 it. | "Anglo-American commerce." he | declared, needed Plume as port l of penetration into central Europe, preferring to have 1t in the hands of l a small country rather than under the
 control of a great power This plan
 was backed by the peace conference,
 which was favorable to the Slav peo- p1es wishing them to form a barrier
 against a resurrection of Germany. | Anglo-American capitalism selected l three ports for their purpose-Fiume. Danzig and Constantinople, consign-
 ing the first to Jugo Slavia; the sec ond to Poland and the third to Fur
 key. The last named country is un-
 der control of the League of Nations, and all know the League Of Nations is in the hands of the Anglo-Sax-
 ons."
 President Wilson never recognized the treaty of London" he continued.
 ''but Italy could not renounce 1t be- cause that would have meant the f abandonment of the only weapon she
 possessed"
 The Italian supreme command was
 attacked for not occupying Fiuma
 immediately after the armistice with 5 Austria, when Innsbruck was taken p over by Italian troops.
