Mujor General Charles H. Aluir, commanding officer of the much-cited division, is homeward bound with a number of units under his command aboard the United States transport Mercury. Company D, of the old Eighth Regiment, made up almost entirely of llarrisburgers, will be the lirst of the three local units to return home. It is sailing with a number of other companies of the 112 th Regiment of Infantry, of which it is now a mem ber, aboard the Mercury, which is scheduled to arrive at Newport News on May 4. General Muir on Hoard On the vessel with General Muir are headquarters troops and head quarters detachment of the 28th Di-' vision, medical detachment, Com- j panics A, 14, O and D, of the 112 th! infantry Regiment.

These men I are from the 109 th machine gun hat- I talion, the 1.89 th Infantry and the! 128 th machine gun company. Parade Plans Unsettled A report that Company 1 of the! old Eighth Regiment, another unit! of Harrisburg men, was aboard the' Pocahontas, which is scheduled to! land at Newport News one week from to-morrow, is not borne out by dispatches received in this city.' Old Company D is the only one of | the three local units that is known! to have sailed, it being aboard the Mercury, which will reach Newport News on May 4. It is known that the old Governor's Troop, now a unit of the one Hundred and Eighth: Field Artillery, has not yet taken passage for the home voyage. The AdJutajit General's office is unable to-day to give information as to the units which have sailed for home. Adjutant General Beary is in Washington to-day and no definite information from the Penn sylvania department will be avail able to-day. Plans for the parade of the divi sion in Philadelphia are anything but settled, reports from that city i say. The manner in which the; members of the division are being! distributed among Army camps of i fourteen States, instead of being concentrated in any one camp,! would appear to indicate that, it! will be impossible to have a full di-| visional parade in the Quaker City.

FIUME CANNOT BECOME PART OF ITALY, S4YS WILSON; ORLANDO IS READY TO LEAVE PEACE COUNCIL Latins Insist Upon Treaty of London WILSON HOLDS OUT FOR SLAV Earlier Signs at Paris Indicated Concessions By Associated Press• Paris, April 23.—Premier Orlando threatens to re turn to Italy to-day unless there is a satisfactory ad justment of the Fiume and Dalmatian questions. Prem ier Lloyd George, of Great Britain, is trying to per suade the Italian leader to remain in Paris longer while he continues his ef forts to reconcile the op posing- viewpoints. In a statement issued by President Wilson to-day ex plaining his position on the Adriatic question he declares that Fiume cannot become a part of Italy. The President points out that every condi tion concerning the Adriatic settlement has been changed since Italy entered the war upon the promises of the pact of London, the Austro-Hun garian empire having disap peared. He notes that new states have been created for which Fiume is the natural outlet to the sea. The Presi dent also contends that the strategic necessity pleaded in behalf of Italy's claim to the Dalmatian islands no longer prevails, as the Austrian na val menace has ceased to ex ist. I lie Latin delegation to the I'eace Conference reasserted its determination to stand firm on the question of Fiume, indicat ing that unless the Council changed its position the delega tion would not return to the conference. An early settlement of the difficulty is consequently thought to lie improbable, espe cially as President Wilson is understood to lie equally as firm as the Italian representatives. With Premier Orlando still absent. Premiers Clcmenceau and Lloyd George and President Wilson resumed this morning the consideration of questions concerning China and Japan. Facts of Deadlock The facts of the deadlock over the Italian claims in the Adriatic, ac cording to the Petit I'arisien, are as follows: President Wilson proposed that Fiume, which is not mentioned in the Treaty of 'London, should lie a free city, but attached to the Jugo Slav customs system and, further, that the London Treaty should be subjected to a total revision. Italy refused to accept this pro posal, whereupon President Wilson withdrew, leaving Italy alone with the representatives of the other sig natories of the treaty. During the meetings of the representatives of the signatories, both Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino were most conciliatory, Orlando, especial ly, having asked repeatedly on what condition France and Great Britian would consent to give Fiume to Italy, Baron Sonnino said he was ready to discuss a revision of the London Treaty. Wilson Keeps in Touch However, President Wilson, who, while he was not present at the meetings, kept in touch with them, then wanted to reopen the question of the Treaty of London, but with out joining the revision to the fate of Fiume. The President has reced ed from his first proposal to make Fiume a free city and is inclined to givo'it absolutely to the Jugo-Slavs. As to Premiers Clemeneeau and Lloyd George, they are understood to be rcadv to adhere purely and simply to the Treaty of London, at the same time seeking means of conciliation. Although the peace conferees in Peris have parsed nlong for future adjustment the Japanese problem, one of the two troublesome questions standing In the way of the final shsning or the peace treaty, the Italian difficulty was still pressing [Continued on Page 2.] 1 Pennsylvania at the Front Captured machine guns and the men of the "ne Hundred and Twelfth Infantry, formerly the Eighth and Sixteenth Regiments, Infantry.

DRUG ADDICTS ROB DRUG STORE TO GET NARCOTICS Police Believe Arrests of Ped dlers Is Responsible For Crime That Harrisburg "dope" users are becoming desperate to secure their accustomed supply of drugs, is the impression created among police au thorities by the theft of between sls and S2O worth of narcotics of various kinds from the drug store of Dr. John 11. Garland, Sixth and Muench streets, early this morning. Police are convinced that the ilieft was committed by drug addicts who have been experiencing difficulty in securing morphine, cocaine, heroin and other narcotics to fill their needs since the alleged leaders of t lie "dope" ring have been taken into custody and are now either serving sentences or are awaiting trial. The persons who committed last evening's theft gained access to the store by forcing screws from the out side lock of the cellar door and after gaining admission to it. by forcing a trap door between the cellar nnd the store room. Tu addition to the narcotics, about 150 pennies were taken. Eight-Year-Old Girl Placed on Stand to Testify Against Mother Eight-year-old Evelyn Hays was j called as a witness in divorce ac- j l ion brought by her father, Oar- I ence Hays, against Mrs. Hebecea 1 S. Hays, in which John Hoke was named as co-respondent. The child testified in court yesterday after noon that she had seen Hoke and her mother together. Neighbors who testified said that Iloke went to the , Hays home 011 a number of occa- j sions after Mr. Hays had gone to : work. The divorce action was con- I tested by Mrs. Hays, who took the | stand and denied charges made j aguinst her. Hoke also was called j and denied the statements made by i neighbors. Counsel for both parties will argue the case, probably next j Tuesday. A divorce decree was granted in the case of ltelvln H. vs. EHsle Mc-j Farland, John McFarland being j named as co-respondent. Louis G. Baltimore Is Named City Forester Appointment of Louis G. Haiti- i more, 1115 Market street, as city' forester, was announced to-day at i the offices of the city park depart- ; ment. His name will be submitted j to Council for confirmation at a ! meeting in the near future by Com- ! missioner E. 55. Gross, it is under-1 stoari. Mr. Baltimore is a graduate of State College, class of 1918, and I since that time until recently has ] been in the employ of the Interna- 1 tional Paper Company, a firm manu facturing paper in large quantities. Mr. Baltimore was located in flic Adirondacks in New Vork State for ' the paper firm, locating trees to be used for wood pulp, part of the ma- ' to rial used to manufacture paper. A number of cases of tree butch- ! er.v reported to the department will | be investigated by him, after which it is likely the tree census which ws started a few years ago will be , crmplete/1. This lias been delayed I reuse of the failure to appoint u i| 4 ester in 1917 or 1918.

Picture Found Behind Battleline Identified as Property of Simon Lutz "Ting-a-ling-a-ling-a - ling," rang the Telegraph's phone yesterday af ternoon while the paper was hot front the press. "Say, is that the Telegraph?" came a voice, "that picture on your front page of a girl and a man in a boat is Simon Lutz. I mean the man is— -1 don't know the girl."
