THE ITALIAN CLAIMS
With two ot the five big powers
represented at Paris most Americans
have lost patience lately, because
they showed so little of the spirit
which has been supposed to animate
the allies in this war, and which Am
ericans have hoped to see prevail In
the peace settlement. Those nations
are Japan and Italy. And of the
two Italy has probably been the more
Irritating, because from her more
was expected.
The case has been well put by a
blunt article in the New- Republic.
Commenting on the recent state
ment made by the Italian embassy
thatItaly was on the verge of revo
lution as a result of a fuel and food
famine, the writer says:
"This being the case,. this having
been the case for months, what have
we heard from the Italian govern
ment? That she wants coal and
food; that she wants to start her in
dustries? Not at all. Flume and
Dalmatla, Dalmatia and Flume, nav
al bases, strategic crests, the Adria
tic as an Italian lake, the frightful
danger to Italy from the non-exist
ent Jugo-Slar navy, rocks and inlets,
acid mountain villages and fishing
porta, and everything but the truth.
"When Italy's friends have said
to her statesmen that economic life
could not be revived by strangling
the trade of central Europe, they
would not listen. Faced with an
imminent revolution at home they
have actually threatened twice to
quit the conference at Paris because
they could not plant their flag on
the gates of other people's territory.
They have masted sympathy; they
(have stirred up no end of irritation;
they have put 'Italy in the worst pos
sible light before the world.
"Who pays? The common people
of Italy. The peasants and the
workmen. They starve. They are
out of work.' They are unassisted
because the Italian officials under
the influence of special moneyed
groups and intoxicated with tha no
tion ot being a ruling power have
consistently sabotaged the peace
negotiations, raised a hue and cry
over side issues and left unargued
the real needs of Italy."
This is drastic, but as every well
Informed American must recognize,
it is deserved. Italy has endangered
the world's peace by Insisting on the
technical fulfillment of a secret
treaty made early in the war offer
ing her not only Trent and Trieste
tut also Flume and the Dalmatian
oast. That was a desperate proffer
made by Britain and France at a des
perate time. America had not enter
ed the war; The purposes of the
allies had not Ibecome fixed. - The
moral and political Issues were not
yet clear. The world trusted and
admired Italy because she professed
only to Ibe defending the right and
seeking to bring her own "unre

deemed" people back into the na
tional fold.
The war finally boiled down to
two or three simple issues of right
and wrong, chief among them being
the right of every people to "self-determination."
The war was won.
New nations were created, with their
needs and rights. Italy, having won
Trent and Trieste, insisted on her
pound of flesh. She must have
Flume, though she has plenty ot
seaports without it, and It is the
only decent seaport available tor the
new democracy of. Jugoslavia, and
the population is mostly Slavic. She
must hare the whole Dalmatian
coast, thereby shutting oft Greater
Serbia from the sea, though she does
"Hot need it for protection, and the
territory is not Italian. And her
Infatuated statesmen for those Im
moral and unnecessary demands
would wreck the peace settlement.
Italy will have to yield. A gov
ernment so insane must be hit on the
head with a club; and either the
other allies or the Italian people
must swing the club, for the good of
Italy herself no less than the rest of
the world.
Poor Relative's Figure.
She said with a sigh, "My. how glnd
I am that I hnve a poor relative's fig
ure I (. I caD wear anything from the
frocks made for Cousin Anne, who Is
nearly six feet and looks like a clothes
pin, to the units built for Cousin Jane,
who Js five . -ft and weighs one hun
dred and eighty."

Do not PTpect the ulilp to return

Mr. Poling spent at the high school
was enjoyed by the students,
Wednesday morning the school
was honored By the presence of Con
gressman Hawley ot pregon,- who
gave a most interesting speech be
fore the assembly. Mr. Hawley's
theme was the development ot the
brain, which brings In the necessity
of higher education. He used a
number of well chosen illustrations
proving that all the necessities of
modern civilization are the result of
someone's mental development. Mr.
Hawley is a most excellent speaker,
and held the attention of ' all
throughout his address.
The Willamette quartet, which
was in Granta Pass, Wednesday, vis
ited the ihigh school In the after
noon and entertained the students
with a number of their school songs
and popular airs, whlcn displayed
fine harmony.
The dates for the presentation of
the senior play have been definitely
set as May 6 and 7. The cast is
working hard on the play, and
Grants Pass has something in store
for them which they will not soon
forget.
Tools and the Man.

Paramount photoplay, "The Cheat,"

Ward portrays the role of the wife
of a New York stock broker who per
sists in entertaining and dresses lav

'Living near their country home on
Long Island is a Japanese ot wealth,
Hlshuru Tori a collector ot curios,
who has secretly nourished a hope
less love for Mrs. Hardy, As treas
urer of a Red Cross fund, Mrs. Har
dy has been Induced to invest f 10,'
000 in a copper stock. .This invest
ment proves disastrous and the
money is swept away. Mrs. Hardy
appeala to Tort for aid. lie offers
her $10,000 if she will come to him
the next day. iMrs. Hardy accepts
the money, replaces it at the Red
Cross fund and meanwhile, her hus
band having made a lucky invest
ment. she obtains $10,000 from him
and that night steals to Tori's house
to dlsdharge her debt.
Her husband, suspHous ot her
actions, follows her. Mrs. Hardy ar
rives at Tori's home while he Is
branding some of his curios. He
embraces her and when she resists
him furiously Tori brands her on
the shoulder and tells her to show
It to her husband. Maddened by
pain, Mrs. Hardy shoots Tori and es
capes just as her husband appears.
This is the ibasls of an excellent
picture sfory and la one of the most
dramatic In which Miss Ward has
been seen. How she escapes the
consequences of her act and is finally
reunited with her husband are
shown in a series of most thrilling
scenes. '
