"Without this protection," Bays the premier, 'a dangerous breach Is left in this admirable barrier of the Alps, rupturing the unquestion able political, economic and histori cal unity 'of the Ist-an peninsula.

The principle proclaimed with ref erence to Poland that denationaliz ation based on viplence does not cre ate rights, the premier contend, should be applied to Dalmatia. Passing o the argument of "cold statistical statements' the .' premier affirms that among the national re constructions occupyin the peace conference none of the reconstructed nations will count within thei- fron tiers a relatively slighter number of persons of alien race than would be attributed to Italy, and asked why only tlalian should be suspected of imperialistic cupidiy. The history of the negotiations, he declares, will show that the tlalian delegation act ed with a "fcraad spirit of concilia tion. Italy's rati Notable. He concludes his statement as fol lows: , "The presidential message ends with a, warm declaration o Ameri ca's friendship for Italy. I reply iu the name of the Italian people, and proudly claim the right and hon or to do this as one who in the most tragic hour of this war, procaimed the cry of resistance at all costs. This cry was heard and replied to with courage aod abnegation, of which there are few more striking examples in. the world's history. "Italy, thanks to the most heroic sacrifices and purest blood of her children, was able to ascend from the abyss of misfortunes to the ra diant crest of most glorious victory.

April 24. The gov ernment proposes a literal enforce ment of the wartime prohibition act including a ban on production and sale of all beer and wines, whether or not they are intoxicating, the de partment of justice announced through a special representative in the federal court today. While no steps will be taken to prevent brewing, pending a court de termination of the law's constitu tionality raised by brewers of the New York district, manuacturers will operate in peril of future prose cution, according to the statement of William C. Fitts. special counsel appearing or United States Attorney General Palmer in the beer litiga tion. The attorney advised Judge A. X. Hand, who heard arguments on the government's motion lo dismiss the suit brought on behalf of the nat ional brewing interests by the Jacob Hof man Rrewing company to restrain the federal authorities from inter fering with its production of two and hree-quarters per cent beer, that the department of Justice did not know and did not care whether beei of the strength indicated was intoxi cating. ; Iji Interj't"rtrl The law prohibited sale ater June 30- of distilled beverages as well ar manufacture after April 20 and sal iter June 30 o 'beer, wine and other ;ntoxicating malt or vinuou liquor: ir beverage purposes." pending the demobilization o the military Torres he said.

He add ed that he did not propose any act tion along this line until the court had been given time to consider the litigation in progress. The litigation was discontinued as affecting threats of internal rev enue department to prosecute manu facturers of a 2 per cent beer up to April 30. when the government counsel admitted that Commissioner Roper had erred in ruling under t,he food conservation laws that beero' one-half per cent or greater alcohol ic content was intoxicating and so could not be manufactured under the president's proclamation prohi biting manufacture of near beer. None but a court had authority to pronounce a beverage intoxicating, or the opposite, Mr. Fitts said. Stating his desire to give an early decision in the case.

Last year we had some 5000 rose bushes to give away. We wanted Marion street and the Fairground road planted. I think four parties took the trouble to plant heir curbs on the Fair ground road and perhaps that many on Marion street.

When one ees a well taken care of curbing. ( 'tanked by the neighbors weeds and rash it is not encouraging to the Industrious one, and frers a sad commentary. Our dues are only 25 ents a year and therefore our bank I tccount is small, but we are always billing to help decorate Salem. I 'lso th'nk that the city ordinance should be enforced compelling ovj rs to cut their weeds upon curbs tnd vacant lots which makes even a nuisance to travelers on a side walk. A little energy and enterprise and civic pride and the will to do omething will accomplish much. A few Years aRO the Highland school put out a row of ro.es around the whole block go and look tow.
