THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 14, 1919. ITALY WARNED NOT TO SUPPLANT U.S. Deputy Sees Danger of New Trouble With Germany. ENGLAND IS CONDEMNED Commercial Motives of Britain Are Suspected and further War Seeds Are Discovered. ROMK, Dec. 13. Warning not to 'take the place ol America in the alliance destined tc guarantee French territory," was given the government yesterday by Deputy Cicotti, speaking in the chamber. He said the argee ment might "lead to war with Ger many, s that country cannot resign herself to death." Cicotti decjared the Versailles treaty to be "merely a territorial and colonial spoliation of Germany on the part of France and Ungland." and said Italy had acted "like Saner- Panza." This, he declared, had stirred the German patriotism and would be a grave digger to peace and the source of new conflicts. "For England." he declared, "it is a historical amusement and a kind of hport, to instigate the French cock against the German eagle. England, always inspired by commercial prin ciples, even now sells arms to the bolshevik! as well as to Denikine and 3olchak. Confronted by such an at titude, we socialists must send our preetings of solidarity to Ireland and Ugypt." There were loud socialist chc . v for tooth Egypt and Ireland. Sisnor Cicotti read a memorandum which M. Tchitcherln, bolshevik for eign minister, had sent the Italian government explaining soviet ideals and adding that Russia had had no conflicts with Italy and desired friendly relations with the Italian democracy. The deputy said that Sonriino, the then foreign minister, dltl not even answer it. Official announcement concerning an ai-angement of the Fiume ques tion i expected soon. In a sense the Italian government acknowledged the right of Fiuine to decide its own des tiny, according to the principle of self-determination. At the same time It Is believed that f'apiain Gabritle d'Annunzio and his troops will be pardoned. y VACATION CAUSED BY STOllM AND EPIDEMIC TO END. Superintendent Grout Reports That Measles Situation Is in Hand. Buildings to Be Warm. Classes will be resumed in the Port land public schools tomorrow morn ing at the usual time after an en forced holiday of two and a half days due to weather conditions and the prevalence of measles and other con tagious diseases. , The announcement was made yes terday by D. A. Grout, city superin tendent. "The school buildings have been kept well heated throughout the cold snap and will be warm and com fortable for the children when they return,' taid Mr. Grout. "As far as present health conditions are concerned 1 feel there is nothing to fear, as the attendance up until "Wednesday morning was above the average. Un Wednesday morning the attendance was about SO per cent of normal, due to the heavy enow fall. The last attendance reports on record show that up until Tuesday evening the attendance has averaged between 95 and 1)7 per cent, which Is above the record for other years at this time." The measles epidemic is said to be well in hand at present, according to Mr. Grout. Dr. George Parrish, city health of ficer, who orderod the schools closed last week as a means of forestalling possible epidemics of prevalent dis eases, stated yesterday that the mat ter of reopening the schools has been left in the hands of the school di rectors.

WRIGHT Skill Service, Gentleness, Fair Prices Are the Four Requisites in the Successful Practice of Dentistry Your teeth are almost priceless, so why shouldn't you give them the best profes sional attention? . It requires natural aptitude and years of experience for the dentist to produce the best results Some men possessing the requisite skill are lacking in gentleness and considera tion for the feelings and nerves of their patients. . Others charge extortionate prices, believing that a bird m the hand is worth two in the bush. ' '..-, , , , While onlv too many have no aptitude for the profession and come under the head of misfits. They might have made good blacksmiths, but that's another story. My more than 20 years' active practice in Portland and reputation for service, gen tleness and fair prices are known throughout the state of Oregon. I will give you as good dental work as you can secure anywhere and at prices that are fair; in fact, extremely reasonable. My plate work is a revelation to people who have suffered from loose, unscien tifically constructed plates. I fit you perfectly, the teeth look natural and perform all the functions of natural teeth to your satisfaction. , Results speak louder than words.
