This was learned today when the super war council of the al ie«, one of the most important canferences in history, met for its first ses sion at the foreign office today. The information carne from a most reliable Italian source. The Germans, it was learned, plan ned by shrewd propaganda and by a triumph at Verdun to cre ate such dissatisfaction in Italy that the government would re consider its play to help "dose the steel ring" around the cen trai empires, by joining in the Paris program for concerted ac tion. Some hint of this German ef fort evidently already has reach ed the Paris public. The Italian prime minister and foreign min ister consequently received tre mendous ovations en route to the foreign office today. The Germans learned of plans for the super war council several weeks ago. Alarmed at the pros pects that the allies would frame a program for the closest mil itary, diplomatic and economie collaboration for maximum of fensive efficiency, the Kaiser de cided on an attempt to take Ver dun, believing the moral effect of such a defeat on the allies would halt the conference. At the same time he sent a shrewd bàiìù Of prùpàg&ùuiótS i into Italy and began a campaign designed to foment trouble in Italv, in the German newspap ers. The Germans particularly feared that an important result of the Paris conference would be the appearance of Italian troops How Liniment Agent "Worked" Some Indiana County Residents BLAIRSVILLE, March 30. About three months ago a smooth agent for a patent cure ali liniment made a farm-to-farm canvass of East Mahoning and adjoining townships, and victim ized nearly every farmer he vis ited. His pian was to leave a $1 bot tle of liniment at each house. East bottle had a little mark on the label. The recipient was permitted to use the liniment down to the label mark free, but if more was used, then the full price of $1 was to be paid. Of course everybody used some of the liniment and recent who plead guilty on the same charge. Eva and Joe Cipriano, who were found guilty of selling liquor without a license, were not sentenced, their case being held over. The March term of civil court is now over. Judge Bautan, of McKean Co., has been assisting Judge Langham in a long list of cases. on other fronts, knowing that the mountainous nature of much of the Austro-Italian front pre vents the use of ali Italy's forc es. The Italian government was on the alert and took quick steps to counteract the effect of this German propaganda. The Ger mans' failure to take Verdun dealt a final blow to the scheme, i one of the most ambitious at tempts to create a breach in the ranks of the allies since the be ginning of the war. What will come out of the all important conference that open ed here today cannot be guessed. It seems certain, however, that one of the first public state ments issued will inform the world that the allies stand as a unit against rejecting any peace suggestions coming from Berlin at the present time. The conference of the entente allies began this morning in the great salon of the ministry of foreign affairs where many oth er historic meetings of diplo matists have taken place. The subject of the first sitting is the military situation. That is ali which may be said defin itely, but it is probable that Gen. Joffre, Earl Kitchener, Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, Lieut. Gen. Count Cadorna, Gen. Castelnau and Gen. Roques, the new French war minister, addressed the con ference. The entire company took lunch at the ministry at noon. The af ternoon session will be devoted to consideration of the econom ie resources of the allies. VILLA WOUNDED AND NOT WITH MEN, AIRMAN SAYS. EL PASO. TEX., March 30. Panello Villa was wounded in the hip in the fight with the Ameri can soldiers after the raid on Columbus. He is now nursing his wound somewhere in Mexico, not far from the Mexican border, liiuueii in the house of a fi lenti. He is not with the band of his followers that General Pershing is hunting in the interior among the fastnesses of the Sierra Ma dre. This information was brought to E 1 Paso by F. W. Perez., Vii- ly a collector visited the lini ment samplers and requested pavment. Ali who did not pay will now visit Squire Steele Mc- Ginity at Marion Center and pay the dollar with added costs. Not having a written contract and having used some of the lini ment makes the user liable for pavment. The farmers will pay the dol lars rather than lose time and money fighting the claims, but it is a safe prediction that the next patent medicine agent who visits them will get a warm re ception—Johnstown Leader.
