ARMY PIERS ARE CLEARED AFTER
 WAR SERVICES

New York, Jan. 31. The great army piers at Hoboken which will always remain part of the history and traditions of the American Expedi- tionary Forces are being cleared by moving men wIto are confronted with the task of removing 16O,OO0 pieces of non -descript lost baggage from the piers. Although many thousand pieces of the baggage have been returned to former service men by the Lost Bag gage Department of the Knights of Columbus, 461 Fourth Avenue, it was announced that the work will be con- tinued by the "Casey' organization and the officials and men of the army.
 All of the luggage is being removed to Governors Island where it will be placed in storehouses and arranged under an index system of cards and files corresponding with the method in operation at Hoboken. The books, furniture and other paraphernalia of the piers are also being carried away and within three weeks the piers will be ready for occupancy by steamship companies. One of the greatest tasks ahead of the moving men is the transferring of 100000 barrack bags which have become estranged from home-c coming contingents of the A E.. F.
 Large car floats with half a dozen freight cars on each are being used as "nlov1ng vans" When the cars are loaded the floats are lowed to Gov ernors Island.

Socialists We'll
 Represented In
 Italian Chamber

Rome, Jan. 31-Socia1ist organizers are strongly represented in the new Italian Chamber of Deputies. Thirty seven new members give themselves that description in their report to the secretary of the Chamber. There was not a single organizer in the previous Parliament.
 Altogether the Socialists have 1b6 deputies in a total membership of sos. All the 352 deputies outside of the Socialist group are opposed to them although holding widely vary ing political views. The Catholic party has 101 members. These latter supported the government q and ar rayed themselves against the Social ists in a test vote of confidence.
 The number of lawyers and noble men has decreased. Eight peasants and 13 workmen sit in the present Chamber. In the last previous Cham Der there were no peasants and only two workmen.
 Three literary men are among the deputies: Sem Benelli, poet and dra- matist, who is now D'Annunio's chief rival in Italy and is known in New York especially through his play ''The Jest"; Alfredo Baccelli, and Sici11ani.

Childless Marriage
 Annuled In Italy

Milan, Jan. 31.-The annulment of marriage is obtained here solely on the grounds that it was chiId1ess. This decision is expected to be fol- lowed by numerous applications for annulment on similar grounds, for there is no divorce in Italy.
 The action of the tribunal is en- dorsed by the Italian press. as a whole, and the socialists have gone so far as to prepare a measure for the introduction into the chamber proposing that marriages shall be compulsory annulled if no children result from them.

It would. however, arouse the intense oppositiun of the more democratic e1e- ments of the French electorate, and it might imperil the Franco British alliance, in view of Lloyd George's recent volte-face under pressure of English Liberal and Labor sentiment.
 Still, there is the possibility that the strong anti-German feeling in France might be rallied to a count er-stroke to the German militarist maneuver, that the "Galician Army of 30,000 men, splendidly equipped at the expense of the Baltic Barons and recruited and armed with the connivance of the Berlin authorities
