Italy Insists Upon Ajcerd of Entire Dalmatian Coast and Cty of Fwmeßefore Big Peace Conned HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXVIII— NO. 93 16 PAGES . ' HARRISBURG, PA. MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1919. sSBSL HOME EDITION WILSON STANDS OUT AGAINST CLAIMS OF ITALIAN DELEGATES President Absents Himself From Sunday Session of Council of Big Four; Not at Today's Meeting of Supreme Body GERMANY MUST SEND REAL PEACE MEN TO VERSAILLES Bp Associated Press, The Italian parliament which was to have met on Wednesday of this week will not convene until May 6. according to dispatches from Rome. This postponement evidently has been caused by the failure of the Council of Four of the Peace Conference in Paris to reach as yet any solution of the problem raised by Italy's claims to Finmc and the Dalmatian coast. Italian Situation Critical Dispatches from Paris indicate that the situation caused by Italy's unyielding attitude has reached a critical phase. News from the Peace Conference on Sunday showed that representatives of Great Britain. France and Italy, the three nations, together with Russian signatory to rhe treaty of London, framed at Bon- j don in 1915 the entry into the war on the side of the Entente, were in conference and that President Wil son was not present. It was also announced he would not he present when conversations were reopened to-day. Mr. Wilson has stood out against recognition of the treaty of London, upon which Italy's maximum claims are based. His absence from the! meeting yesterday might have been caused by the fact that the Italians were invoking that convention in support of their territorial claims. In spite of the warning sent to t Germany by the Peace Conference, that the delegates she sends to the Peace Conference must not be "mere messengers" Germany has selected rather unimportant persons to go to i Versailles. Berlin advices say these men will have the power merely to receive the peace terms and take them to Berlin. The German cabi net will either accept or reject the terms, it 'S said, or submit them ' to the people. . Dispatches from Paris, however, • reflect a rather positive attitude on •the party of the Peace Conference, > which, it is said, will inform Ger many that the men she sends to Ver- ; sailies must have power to sign the treaty of peace. It is said that the first act of the meeting to be held on April 25 will be to demand evidence from the Germans that they possess such powers Bolshevism oil Back Track Bolshevism is again on the back I track on the western Ukrainian j front, the strength of the Soviet j forces having apparently been con- j centrated in the effort to overrun the j Crimea, which has been successful, j The cities of Zhitomir and Prosku- j rova. in the Ukraine have been re- j taken from the Bolsheviki by forces ! commanded by Simon Petlura. the .

By the exertion of un measured power they have quickly won the victory, without which they would have remained in the field until the last resource i had been exhausted. "Bringing to the contest a strength of spirit made doubly strong by the righteousness of their cause, they devoted them selves unswervingly to the prose cution of their undertaking, in the full knowledge that no con quest lay in their path, excepting the conquest of right. "To-day the world stands freed from the threat of militarism, which has so long weighed upon the spirit and the labor of peace ful nations. But as yet we stand only at the threshold of happier times. To enter, we must fulfill to the utmost the engagements we have made. The Victory Lib erty Loan is the indispensable means. "Two years ago we pledged our lives and fortunes to the cause for which we have fought. Sixty thousand of our strongest sons have redeemed for us that pledge of blood. To redeem in full faith the promise of this sac rifice, we now must give this new evidence of our purpose. ; 1 Capt. Detweiler Shows Pictures and Tells of Experiences in Italy Captain Meade D.

April 21.—Every German I city and town which had its own garrison, of which it has been proud ; for decades, has been officially noti j fled by the National Assembly, that it has been decided to disband the I German army . I The official notification, while re : ferring to the creation of a new army ,in the future, says its strength is ; entirely unknown at present and de clares that it recognizes towns will lie injured economically by the with drawal of garrisons.

At !* o'clock this morning Colonel Kemper, in charge of the Regular Army recruiting party in Harrisburg, went into the First National i Bank and laid down money with which to purchase Victory bonds for the entire party. "What's the big idea?" asked the man behind the grill. "Finishing the job." said Colonel Kemper. "These fellows of the recruiting party figure that the war is not over, so far as they are con- I ; cerned. They figure that there is a last opportunity to serve their country—and so they are buying Victory Bonds." SENIOR SENATOR LAUDS MEMORIAL BRIDGE PURPOSE Believes Structure Will Add Immensely to Flan For Im proving Capitol Park VISITS HILL OFFICIALS Finds Highway Department Chief Right Man For the Position "That will be a beautiful structure] and will add immensely to the gen- : eral plan for improvement of Capitol j Park. The whole plan is excellent and it will add very much to the Capitol." said United States Senator Boies Penrose to-day when he looked over the model for the proposed memorial bridge. "I understand it is to be in honor of the Pennsyivanians in the war. It 1 is an excellent idea." Points to Civic Improvement "Harrisburg has improved very much in the last thirty years," went on the Senator, "and if it continues it will be before many years one of the most beautiful cities in the coun i try. These Capitol plans will add much to it. The city is advantageous ly situated, especially in regard to transportation facilities. I always have retained a great interest in this city and recall the days when they tried to move the Capitol away." i The Senator was the man probably] more than any one else who insisted; that Harrisburg remain the Capital i when a drive to move it was started shortly after the destruction of thei old State House in 1897. The senior Senator spent a couple j of hours on the Hill to-day, his first| since the session of 1913, and visited I Secretary of the Commonwealth Cyrus E. Woods. Banking Commis-: sioner John S. Fisher. Highway Com missioner Lewis S. Sadler and other; officials, spending some time also in the office of W. Harry Baker. Pleased With Highway Program "I am very much pleased with the wonderful program for improvement of the highways of Pennsylvania and. I don't think Governor Sproul could j have chosen a better executive head for the department than Lewis S. I Sadler." remarked the Senator after his vis}t. "To my mind he is the ideal j man for the occasion. I am satisfied the improvements we are making' will command the attention of the whole country very soon. It also is a matter of gratification that we are! to get adequate legislation regulating automobile traffic and I hope that the' bill will pass soon." The Senator said that "probably people could stand a very little more", when his attention was called to the fact that the bill proposed to increase ! registration fees.

While on a visit to the State Capitol for the first time i in six years the senior Senator said: ; "X am a firm believer in the ,non j partisan ballot as the means for j electing judses and for municipal of . fleers. I know that there are a num- I ber of Republicans and Democrats in !

Efforts of playmates to save the youth were unavailing. The youngster, together with 'n other playmate, are said to have been standing on the concrete steps, throwing stones into the water, when the Gee boy lost his balance and fell into the water. ' I The water at the point at which | the accident occurred is just below, the dam and in consequence is quite swift. This, together with the fact ' that the water is about four feet deep j now, prevented the lad from saving ; himself.

It would appear that Petlura's plan, which he forecast some time ago to the Associated Press of cut ting behind the Bolsheviki advanc ing into Bessarabia and toward (Odessa, is succeeding. | It is stated that he brought about I the disaffection of the Bolsheviki sol . diers partly by fighting and partly by persuasion. This was made more | easy, it is reported, since the Bol jsheviki executed COO peasants during j their brief occupation of Zhitomir, j Petlura is still hoping the Allies j will realize the advantage of assist ing him.

Ever j since the State of Pennsvlviyiia de termined that for all time the Cap | 'tal should he on the banks of the ! ; Susquehanna, and invested millions' ■ in a building exceeded by few in the i world, the fact that the higher courts maintained their headquarters else where and sat in llurrisluirg but a day or so each year, has been a sub jjoct of comment. ] From a hotly sitting in various 'cities of Pennsylvania the Supreme! j Court, for instance, has almost be- i come a branch of the Government, located in Philadelphia.

The city of Philadelphia i provides rooms in the splendidly ex tensive city hall for the court, its members and attendants, but the pre-eminence of the tribunal in Penn sylvania affairs is little realized and in fact it is regarded as a part of 1 government where government, j abounds.
