In this connection Signor R;cci
praised the work OF Ambassador John
son, H. Nelson Gay, of Boston, the mis-
torian, and Senators Ferraris, Rutfini
and Crespi, promoters Of the asso, o,cia-
ton, in aiming to render Italo Arseri-
can relations more cordial and more
profitable to both countries.
Replying to the remarks of Signor
Ricci, Ambassador Johnson said:
America is no rival of Italy in
trade, but is, and doubtless will con-
tinue to be, large market for Itlay's
greatest product-human labor. Italy's
conscientious, capable and thrifty
workmen everywhere are valued and
respected in America as being equally
in support OF both countries.
"ltelys disturbing conditions are not
especially different from those of other
nations and l predict for her a rapid
convalescence from the epidemic Of
orld-sickness, believing Italy funda

For Housing Defeated
Baker Proposed to Sell Many
Existing Posts and Use the
Funds ir Erection Of Others

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ca $50 .000,-
COO item for army pest construction,
submitted by the War Department and
refused by the House Appropriations
Con mittee in reporting out the sundry
civil supply bill, was the initial step
in new army housing project, con-
t.roplating estimated expenditures of
more than $500, 100000 over a period
of ten or twelve years. Details of the
-oheme formulated by the General
Staff are revealed in testimony taken
by the committee, just made public
In urging Congressional approval Of
the plan, Secretary Baker recommended
that many existing army posts, par
ticularly those near large cities, be
abandoned and sold, the funds to be
used in financing the new project. He
did not, however, submit any list of
posts which might pc so disposed Of.
The new project, Mr.. Baker told the
committee, grew out of the section of
the army reorganization bill providing
for the present corps area distribution
of the army on the basis of military
population, and under which nine areas
have been created, supplanting the old
geographical department area for ad-
ministrative purposes. All of the work
contemplated, he said was on perma-
nent construction at divisional posts in
these areas, where training both of the
regulars and National Guard troops of
the area would be conducted. as direct.
ed by Congress.

FACTION
WON VICTORY At
SUSSEX URINARY
Nominated All Candidates on the
County Ticket After an Ex-
citing Contest.
LOSERS COMPLAIN OF
BEING DOUBLE CROSSED"

Special Correspondcncr OF Every Evening
Laurel, Oct. 5.--1he Republican county
primaries, Saturday, resulted in decisive
defeat for the Anti-layton forces IN this
district, the Layton faction sweeping the
entire county. According to leaders here
every nomination on the county ticket
WAS won by Layton man.
In spite of . natural chagrin over q
defeat where they were expecting sweep
ing victory, some Of the local Republicans
express a keen admiration over the skill
and organization which WAS displayed by
their opponents. Having once over
whelmil ely routed Congressman Layton,
his son, Daniel j. Layton, Jr., and their
chicf iicutenants, "Dor' Short, claimed
to he the most powerful figure in Northern
Sussex, and Bob" Short, who it is said,
claims 20 carry Georgetown and Gumboro
hundreds in his vest pocket, the co-called
Townsend group were completely out
PLAYED. outgucsscd and outmanouvcred
IN the bitterest contest wagcd In years.
The contest showed that the anti
layton forces were composed of several
detached groups, without a common
lca der, having no organization and but
one aim in commentator uncomprimis-
ing opposition TO the Layton-Short regime,
which they characterized as being un-
progressive, dIctatorial, rcactionAry and
corrupt. 1t is said the wet vote the anti
Woman Suffrage vote and the anti-School
Code vote flocked to their standard.
A study Of the election figures shows
that the Layton-Short faction had but
one nominee for each county office, on
which they ccntercd all their efforts IN an
intense and untiring campaign. Their
opponents, however, had from one to
four contestants for each Office each of
whom WAS strenuously endeavoring to get
All the votes he could. The result might
have been foreseen and some of the en-
trants induced TO withdraw, but the lay
ton-Short faction cleverly disguised their
plan by making deals with various
anti-Layton men, who agreed to throw
their support 10 some particular Layton
man in return for support of their own
candidate. and, it is alleged, received the
"douhe-croSs."
Ii is said the opinion prevailed IN many
sections that the nomination for pro
thpnotary belonged to John Barr of
Georgetown for the many sacrifices he had
made for his party and the years he had
worked for its success. especially IN the
1905 campaign, when his election work
led ~ his arraignment on a charge of
bribery. on which he was fined 5000.

woman-any woman-could take
it. This is not feminism, not even
woman suffrage Of the sturdy Alice
Stone Blackwell type; it is the
sickliest romanticism.
The Republicans have taken the
principle Of equal rights at its face
value. The Democrats have tried
to be gallant. Which do the woman
suffragists of New York like best?
Strange to say they seem to like
the old chivalric attitude best. 1t
was what was predicted Of them by
their enemies before the advent Of
suffrage, but their friends denied
it. 1t is reported that the sentiment
is so strong that there is a drift
Of women away from the Republi-
can party in this state" 1t is true
that this drift is ascribed partly to
feminine desire for vengeance
against Senator Wadsworth, and
that does show a certain equality
with the men In such a case the
female of the species is by no
means deadlier than the male. But
in the other respect the Republican
women have by no means lived up
to the idealized picture of woman
suffrage.-New York Times End
