much careful planning, we have
finally completed our plans for a
better and bigger Victory Ban
quet 1t will be held at the Elm
tracht Club on May II, at $50
o'clock. All Saxons from every
where are cordially invited to at
tend. A fine toastmaster has been
secured, and there will also be
some good speakers on hand.
Following the banquet there
will be dance beginning at 9 90
p. m. Glenn Gibson and his Or
chestra will provide the music and
| do mean music. We are sure
that this orchestra will please
you, so don't miss it.
All that remains to be said is,
come to New Castle, May llth,
and we will show you a swell
time.
Special Meeting
The biggest, most important
meeting of the year is scheduled
for Sunday, May II, at the club.
The important thing is the cleo
ton of officers. 1t is to be held on
Sunday, so every one can come.
At our past meetings the attend
ance has been rather scarce and
we need a crowd Sunday. The
year 1910 may mark a great turn
ing point in the New Castle T. S.
J. A., so if you want a club you
had better be there Sunday. By
the way, the fireworks will be free
so don't miss this meeting.

Our comments are all alike.
"It was fine operetta and every
one gave excellent perform
ancc." The goulash at mealtime
was very tasty. Yes sir, many
took three helpings. Hey Nom |!
And that orchestra! Yoi, they
played so continuously that oul
dogs never stopped barking-and
they really were Ekseelent.
If all Saxons were like those
in loungstown-no one would
have to worry about our future.
No kidding, many of our own old
folks expressed the opinion that
your gang is the best there is
and that's something coming
from them. Listen Canton, how
about little of that Zip in our
town. Can we do it? We don't
even try. Why? Because all we
have got in our club is bunch
of gabbin old women who sit, look
and talk about others. The men
we'll they are their husbands. How
about come cctiOn-SOne leaders

gentle and concealed diplomatic
pressure might change the London
government point of view and
that the interference with Italian
ships will cease shortly.
But there is a question of prestige
with the head of the Italian gov
ernment. If he submits to the Brit
ish dictates there might be serious
repercussions in countries which
look upon Italy as a great power
The Italians claim the British block
ade of exports from belligerent to
neutral is illegal. The idea of
blockade was originally to prevent
armed forces from getting supplies
. The civilian population in the old
days was not interfered with.
Changed in Last. War.
During the last war. the contra
band list included all the needs of
the civil population. The exports of
the belligerents were halted by
sweeping their merchantmen of the
seas. But until three weeks ago
there had been no attempt on the
part of a belligerent to prevent the
shipping of enemy goods in a neu-
tral ship to neutral country.

A bill will be presented to Con-

number of American warships which
