J Milan, Aug. 2S.-"Italy is stalking
Its hopes on the defeat of the Soviet
armies before Warsaw because it
VIII mean the moral defeat of the
! Soviet idea in Italy" This Is the
viewpoint of Senator Lodovico Ga
vazzis of Milan, and the active head
OF the silk manufacture industry in
Italy.
| He declared today the political
outlook for the nation WIS still
darkened by combination OF
events which require a greater
statesman than has yet appeared
for a sOunder leadership. Signor
Gavazzi said that accord between
Premlers Glolitti and Lloyd George
is even more necessary now in view
Of the latter's policy with Russia.
Confident Of People.
! Slgnor Gavazzl said: Italy has
had a carnival OF strikes, riots, de-
mands for high wages and demon
strations of all kinds and now the
people know that, like every carni-
val, there comes a surfeit and quiet
is needed, / have faith in the Ital-
ian peoples good sense, though they
for the moment are turned by the
golden promises OF the Soviet adyo-
Gates among them who make nc
secret OF their intention to estab-
lish a Russian Soviet in Italy. ]
realize this government must be
changed but II is difficult to sug-
gest why il should be done today.
Urges Tnx ON Wine.
The government is inefficient and
should devise some means to end
the subsidiZinG of bread. 1t may
tax wine, which is consumed in such
vast quantities in Italy that they
have none for export. This would
reduce consumption and bring in a
great revenue, but they have kept
OF VINE and continue paying for
bread.
Italy must export, 1t is a Vita
necessity. but the government de-
mands that every merchant must
have a permit TO export, and ex-
change rises while we wait for REQ
tape at Rome.
Italy is the only nation of the
allies that doesn't yet know its owl
borders. The Dalmatian question
[ Shoulu DE settled lmmedlately. WI
should make Fiume an Independent
city and state II not annexed t
Italy. But the question of the Dal.
matian provinces being Ceded tC
Italy ought to be changed from Il,
present status and they should bt
made an Italian prOtectOrate."

Senator Gavazzi said the Italiar
people are still trying to under,
stand President Wilson's attitude
but cannot be convinced on hi
Adriatic policy asked him whC
was the most likely man to leaC
Italy after Giolitti. Slgnor Ga
vaZZi, who is advanced in years anC

MILK MAY GO
+. 1 CENT HIGHER
Producers Turn Down Rec
omendation for Continu-
\ ing Summer Prices.
BLAME FREIGHT RATES
Committee Representing
Farmers, Dealers and Con-
sumers to Investigate.

Washington's retail price per
quart for milk is expected to ad-
vance one cent next Wednesday.
The executive committee of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
duCers' Association yesterday de-
clined to accept Health OfiCer
Fowler's recommendation that sum
mer prices be continued for another
month.
We can not recommend that the
September advance be postponed" "
announced the committee. THE
September price was determined
several months ago, when prOduc-
tion costs were considerably lower
than they are at present. To lower
the price cents for September
would probably result in an acute
shortage during October and No
vcmber, when there usually is not
enough milk here to meet the de-
mani.
Cite Other Price Jumps.
Prices of milk to producers have
advanced during the past two
months in practically all the large
eastern cities. A number of farm
ers, whose milk was being market
ed in Washington. have diverted
their shipments to Baltimore.
Another factor which the pro-
ducers have to contend with is the
increase in freight rates, which will
add l cent a gallon to the cost of
milk delivered in Washington"
Farmers supplying the Washing
ton market are now receiving sc
cents a gallon for milk of 3.5 per
cent butterfat, less the freight of
from to cents gallon. The
September price asked is 40 cents q
gallon. After deducting the freight
the 40-cent price would net the
farmer around . cents a quart.
Committee TO Investigate.
The executive committee of the
producers yesterday adopted a reso-
luton suggesting that a committee
representing producers, dealers and
consumers be formed to investigate
costs of milk production and deter
mine prices to be paid during the
winter period beginning October /.
The resolution provided for COM
mittee composed of the following
one representative OF the produc-
ers, one representative of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations;
DR.. William c. Fowler. District
Health officer; one representative
of the milk dealers; a represent
ative from the Maryland State Col
lege of Agriculture and a repre-
sentative from the Agricultural Col
lege of Virginia. 1t is expected
that this committee will soon meet
in Washington to make a thorough
Investigation of. the entire milk
situation.

the surgeon attending him. stated
late this afternoon that the man
had little or no chance for recov-
cry. His skull is badly fractured
and he has not regained conscious
ness since the accident.
Witnesses to the accident state
that DeGroot was crossing the
tracks coming from dinner, and that
he stepped directly in the path Of
the approaching engine. He was
thrown clear of the wheels and
landed several feet west of the
crossing. The Waterman at the
crossing was on the opposite side
of the track directing the crossing
of another train at the time. The
engineer applied the brakes immedi-
ately, and the train stopped several
car lengths from the crossing. De-
Groot was rushed to the hospital.
