Paris, April 21. The "big four" met today to thresh;
out Italy's territorial claims with President Wilson ab-.
sent. I
The president's withdrawal from the meeting is the
result of Italy basing her demands on the pact of London, I
which was consummated before America entered the'war
and which America regards as nullified along with all
other secret treaties.
The president wan scheduled to meet
the other members of the "big four"
at the conclusion of their morning
meeting.
Settlement of the Italian claims,
which hag occupied the attention of
the "big lour" since Thursday, is re
garded as vital, inasmuch as virtual
iiliuiutuins are understood to have .been
exchanged by the opposing tactions.
Italy is stated unofficially .to have
threatened to block the entire pence
settlement by withdrawing from tlic
conference and holding the other al
lies to their agreement to sign no
"separate" 'p'once. This stand is said
to have been met by a counter threat
to exert economic pressure on Italy
oy cutting off her credits, food and
coal.

The return of the only American nnit

With every member of the regiment
wearing tfio Italian campaign medals
hundreds of others bearing in addition
the decorations of the Italian croee de

valor, and the order of the Crown of
Italy, the regiment was resplendent
with the glory which it won on the ltat
iun front.
Arriving in Italy the year following
the Caporetto disaster, the 332nd played
a remarkable role in keeping up the
morale of the Italian army. The ,prrs
once of the American doughboys, side
by side with the Italian "arditi" and
other troops inspired the Italian knny
to the remarkable task it accomplished
a few months later in tho complete de

In this final battle on the Italian
front it fell to the 332nd to be attached

SALEM ALIVE TO NEED
OF POPULAR BACKING
OF LAST LOAN DRIVE
Citizens Respond Readily to
Victory Bond Pleas-Banks
Busy Caring for Stream of
Buyers Today.
(By J. F. Hutcha&on.)
The citizens of Salem are buying Vic
tory Liberty Loan bonds. The cinu tn
Nalem'g four banks were very biiy pop
ple today. I saw merchants, lawyers,
doctors, mechanics, farmers, insuranco
men in fact men from every line of en
deavor in Salem and vicinity in lino to
subscribe for bonds.
The women were there too and tuev
were taking a goodly share of the
bonds. The citizens of Salem are awake
to the fact that this is the last Liberty
loan. Thnt these bonds go to finish
the war and square the debt America
owed to humanity. .They rcullzefl that
this short' tima loan is the best loan
ever put out hr a government and back
ed by the safest government on t!i face
of the globe. They know that they are
expected to subscribe for these bonds
just the same ns if soliciting commit
tees were out working. They realize
thnt business is going on as usual in
fact business is better than It ever Has
been in the history of the city and the
fact that the bankers arc doing all in
their power to see business increase,
therefor it is tho duty of every person
to subscribe for Victory bonds and to
get their subscription in early.
"If" you haven't put in your sub
scription don't let the grass glow un
der your feet, but go to your bank now
and do your bit, Hhow thnt you appre
ciate the sacrifice, made by tho seventy
two thousand who now sleep under for
eign sod. Wiow that you appreciate
the men who offered their lives that
Victorv might be won. Show thai foil
are willing to see the Jon Tmisncn. r.nd
every debt paid.
The bnnks of Salem believe that you
will call and take vour shnro of the
bonds. The boys thnt fought in France
and those who were willing; and rendv
to go if nr-cd be, believe that you will
bur these bonds.
Kvey true American will buv his or
her share of the Victory Liberty Loan
bonds. We are quite sure of that.
Do it as enrlv ns possible. The terms
are very liberal and tho books are open
at the hanks.

Berlin, April 20. President Uavon
stcin of the rcichsbank, financial au
thority of his country, today described
to the United Press the situation eon
fronting Germany, as it appears to a
conservative. Hummed up, his viewpoint
is this:
The allies, especially Ameilca, hold
Germany's future In their hands.
They must furnish Germany with
credit, with German labor as sole se
curity. Germany can pay a reasonable, but
not an excessive indemnity.
Bsys Militarism Dead.
France need not fear German militar
ism, as the government cannot even de
fend itself agsin strikes.
German workmen are ''absolutely
rraxy." They will only go to work
when their need becomes great.
Germany must abolish socialism.
Only a quick peace and America's
help can avert Bolshevism.
