ATLANTA. March 2o.-Fcderal Judge
Sibley to-day issued an order permit
ting B. l.. Bugge, receiver for the At
ianta, Birmingham g. Atlantic Rail-
road, to borrow $12b,000 for the ex
elusive purpose of paying past due

stated the road owes one item. Of wages
amounting TO $55,000. due employees
for the month Of February, and an
other item of wages amounting to S25,-
600, due employees for the same month.
These wages. it was stated, were due

Cadorna Blames
Caporetta Defeat
To Subordinate
Capello Disobeyed His Order
to Put Guns on Defense,
He Says; Charges France
Gave Warming to Austria

ROME, March 20 (By The Associated
Press) "A book by General Cadorna,
former commander in chief of the Ital-
ian army, entitled The War on the
Italian Front, which has just appeared,
describes Italy's preparations for the
war and the development of her plans
until after the Caporetto disaster. The
author was removed from command
after the Italian defeat at Caporctto.
General Cadorna attributes the dis
aster, when the Austrians pushed back
the Italian from the lsonzo 'front.'
chiefly to the fact that his orders to
place all the artillery on the defense
were disobeyed If the artillery had
been withdrawn on the offensive. Cen
eral Cadorna says, the disaster would
have been prevented, or limited. But
General Capello, he declares, did not
entirely withdraw the guns, because he
planned countero offensive, which Ca
dorna disapproved
General Cadorna says that when the
European conflict broke the Italian army
was insufficiently equipped, both as to
terial. The artillery comprised only
12S medium cannon in addition to $50
machine gun sections. There was no
heavy artillery. The Italian govern
ment was "weak and unstable and i'm
paired by the work of members Of
parliament
The former commander-in-chief as
serts that he was kept in complete
darkness concerning the diplomatic
situation, and that he did not even
know the clauses of the pact of Lon
don concerning the territories to be
annexed to Italy.
He had counted on attacking the
Austrians by surprise. but this failed
partly because France, for fear, he says,
that Italy would not keep ner pledges
Of the treaty Of April, 1915, published
it, thereby warning Austria that Italy
would be compelled to attack her not
later than May 26.
Thus Italy, General Cadorna con-
tinucs, entered the war unprepared,
without even the promise Of co0pera
tion from the Allies.
In 1917, Cadorna says, he proposed
to concentrate Allied forces to defeat
Austria and was supported by the
British Prime Minister. He asked for
eight Allied divisions and 800 pieces
of artillery. But it was maintained
that the war would De decided in
France and the 800 pieces of artillery
were offered on condition that they be
returned in three months. Only a
portion of this artillery was sent, and
the pieces dispatched, together with
other guns, were withdrawn in Sep
tember of the same year.
After an interview with General Nj
velle (of the French army General
Cadorna said he was convinced that he
could not count on assistance from the
Allies.

Men Agree to Submit Question
to Railroad Labor Board;

Representatives. of approximately c.
600 unskilled workers employed on the
Erie Railroad yesterday rejected the
roads proposal to reduce their wages
from 25 to so per cent. At confer
ence with the railroad heads at, so
Church Street the workers, in turning
down the prescription, agreed to join
their employers in appealing to the
United States Railroad Labor Board at
Chicago for adjudication of the mat
ter A petition was accordingly drawn
up and signatures of the representa-
tives of both sides affixed.
K. S. Parsons, general manager of tho
Erie system, presided for the railroad,
with f. w. Mclaughlin, general chair
man of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way men of the line,
acting for the workers. Mclaughlin
said he told the railroad heads that his
men could not agree to accept the wage
cut because the cost of living had not
gone down far enough to justify the
measure. They took the position, too,
that the maintenance of way men were
the last to get Increases last year and
are to-day the poorest paid employees
on the roads.
Both sides have agreed to abide by
the decision of the Labor Board" add

board will give us a square deal"
Several of these petitions already
have been received from other roads
which also have asked their employees
to accept wage reductions.

Steamer Rescues Four
Drifting Out to Sea

The steamship West Hematite, from
Dunkirk. brought to port yesterday
three men and woman from Brooklyn,
who were picked up chilled and ex-
hausted in dory that was drifting sea-
ward off the Ambrose Channel Light
ship on Monday night.
John Javelon, the oldest of the party,
said the two men with him were his
brothers and the woman his wife. They
had gone out from South Brooklyn
Monday in motor boat and trailing a
dory.
The heavy gale which came up in the
afternoon caught and carried them sea-
ward. The heavy seas kicked up by
the wind swamped the motor boat and
it capsized. Realizing that such mis-
hap was inevitable, the Javelons had
got into the dory and cut adrift from
the launch before it sank.
Their cries were heard on the West
Hematite about midnight and they were
taken aboard. They said their home
was in Sixteenth Street. Brooklyn.

1000 London Chorus
Girls Are Out of Jobs


LONDON. March 29.-Uncmploy-
ment in thcaterland, like that in other
professions and trades, is widespread
here at present, it being estimated
that there are now over 1000 chorus
girls and "small-part' actresses out
of work, and it is feared that unless
conditions improve Immediately many
producers will have to go out of bust
ness.
Oscar Ashc. one of the leaders in
theatrical circles here, says that the
problem is intensified because so xlany
people come into the profession with
out credentials. Naturally they are
suffering. Touring companies are not
leaving London for the provinces at
present, and consequently there are
hundreds of girls who cannot get en-
ployment.

lie Letter to Morgan& & Co.,
Supporting Aid by U. S.
Bankers in Finance Plan

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The prin-
ciple involved in the effort of the Amer
ican group Of bankers, In cooperation
with bankers of France, Great Britain
and japan, to encourage American in
terests in the assistance of China
through the international group known
as the Chinese Consortium. has the ap-
proval of the United States, Secretary
Hughes informed J. P. Morgan & Co.,
for the American group, March %, in a
letter made public tonight by the
State Department. At the same time
communications from 1918 to 1920 be-
tween the four powers discussing poll
icies involved in the formation of the
consortium were made public stimuli
taneously with their publication in Lon
don, Paris and Toxic.
In giving the approval of the Har-
ding administration to the declared
purposes of the consortium, as entered
into by the American bankers with the
sanction of the Wilson administration.
Secretary Hughes took occasion to de-
clare for equality of commercial and
industrial opportunity" to individual
enterprises of all nationalities in
China, statement which was regarded
here as reatfirmation Of the John Hay
policy of the open door.
Since the conclusion of the consor-
tium, however, China has shown no dis
position to accept it.
Dispute With Japan Reviewed
The greater part of the documents
were devoted to the controversy en-
gagged in between the British and Amer
lcan governments, on the one hand and
the Japanese government on the other,
In which the British and American gov
ernments, in series of almost identic
notes, refused Japan's claims to "spe-
clal rights and interests" in the Chinese
provinces of Southern Manchuria and
Eastern Inner Mongolia. 1t was on ac-
count of this claim that Japan asked
exemption of the provisions of the con-
sortium from these provinces
To these claims of Japan Secretary
Lansing, in letter of October %, 1919,
said: at would be calamity if the
adoption of the consortium were to
carry with it the recognition of doc
trine of spheres of interest more ad-
vanced and farreaching than was ever
applied to Chinese territory, even in
the period when the breakup of the
empire appeared imminent"
Tokio's Rights Acknowledged
Both the United States and Great
Britain assured the Japanese govern
ment that it need have no reason to
apprehend that the consortium would
direct any activities affecting the Sc
curity of the economic life and ma
tional defense of Japan" and offered
as guaranty the good faith of the
powers concerned.
japan finally abandoned her attempts
to achieve her object through diplo-
matte negotiations with the two powers,
and compromise was effected by
Thomas w. Lamont, of the American
group, and subsequently accepted by
all the groups, whereby Japan's rights
over certain railroads in Manchuria
were acknowledged as beyond any
jurisdiction of the consortium.
