Vienna.-What is the position of
Central Europe? Are conditions so
appalling that there is no hope? Are
the gloomy tales of dark despair
poured increasingly into the eager ears
of travellers. who have an only too
human inclination to hear the worst,
an accurate reflection of the present
state and dependable forecast of the
future?
These are questions which even the
traveller must ask himself, and they
must occur yet more pointedly to the
mind of the public, confused as 1t can
not help being by the conflicting ac-
counss Of superficial and haphazard
observers who have some special pref
udice to support, who are willing to
sacrifice homely truth to the making
Of a smart phrase, or who may be sim
ply too strongly influenced by first iln-
pressions without the background of
extended experience necessary to give

SHORT MEASURING TO END.
Housewives Will Benefit by New
Weights and Measures Law.

Washington housewives will be
fully protected this summer against
short-weight ice. and also against the
unregulated fruit container if the new
weight and measure law for the Dis
trict, enacted y'the Senate yesterday,
becomes a law.
George NJ. Roberts. superintendent
of weights and measures. has been
working for three years to get the
legislation through Congress, being
satisfied that the existing law. does
not adequately safeguard the public.
The bill. by it's own terms, becomes
a law ninety days after it has been
signed by the President. If it gets
executive approval before March it
will be put into operation in June.
The bill abolishes the fee now
charged by the city against store
keepers when the District inspector
tests their scales. These fees vary
from 25 cents to So. according to the
size of the weighing apparatus, and
must be paid twice year.
The provision granting ninety days
of grace before the law becomes oper-
ative is to permit dealers to become
familiar with the provision of the new
law md prepare to comply with it.

Thinks IS Per Cent, Not 10, Her
Just Share Of German Indemnity.

BY the Associat ted Press
ROME. February 24.-Italy is far
from being satisfied with certain
terms of the agreement relative to
German reparations. as indicated by
note sent today by the parIia-
mentary committee of foreign affairs
and finance to Count Sforza, the
Italian foreign minister. at London.
The note says that Italian public
opinion and the Italian parliament
look with disfavor on the share of 10
per cent of the German Indemnity
assigned to Italy. They consider this
an injustice and contend that the
Italian share should not have been
less than % per cent, as England,
which was not invaded by the enemy,
and had no greater losses than Italy,

says the note. England gained great

1t is further contended that Italy's
share should come Immediately after
that of France. which receives So per

Zen. Sir NeVil MacReady, the military
commander in Ireland, says there is
no doubt that these crimes consti-

The kings bench. composed of the
chief justice and four other judges,
rendered an important decision today
in a case involving the powers of the
military. The judges unanimously
decided that a state of war existed
and the military had full power to
deal with the insurrection without in
reference by the civil courts.
The judgment was rendered in the
case Of John Allen of Tipperary. who
was sentenced to death by a court
martial in Cork for having a revolver
and ammunition in his possession.
The sentence was challenged before
the kings bench on the ground that
the court-martial had no jurisdiction
to impose the death sentence, which
is not provided by law for such Of
fenses. or any sentence. when the or
dinary courts are open.

TEST OF STEEL TOWERS
AS AIRSHIP MOORINGS
Experiments at British Airdrome
Expected to Show Whether They
May Be Utilized. =

PULHAM. England. Febr. IS 25.-
Experiments are shortly be car
ried out at the airdrome here with
the object of establishing the stabil-
ity or otherwise Of steel towers as
moorings for big airships. An at
tempt is to be made to moor the
giant airship RIB, the sister dirigible
to the transatlantic flyer 4-34. to
a steel tower 150 feet in height.
If the experiments are successful
it will have marked effect on the
position Of this class of aircraft as
commerce carriere. for it will mean
that the steel tower is likely to be
the usual form Of station headquar-
ters for the airship of the future.
The steel tower here. however, is
not the highly developed tubular
construction which the towers of the
future are expected to be. A shaft
runs up the tower and through this
by means of pipes, the R-33 can be
refueled and regaSSed.
The R-34 recently was destroyed
by a storm. The disaster was attrib-
uted by some aviation experts to lack
of a tower to which to moor the
airship.
