V commission representing three
provinces of "Italia Irredenta" is at
f ?? Holland House, where headquarters

? ?tiiic of self-detormination fer the
Italian inhabitants then* who desire to
be annexed t'> Italy, its members talk??!

House in Paris, after which they ?aid
lhry "deemed ?I necessary" to ko to
London and finally to come t<> the
1 ni ted Sintis, .s%! if necessary talk
?with the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations.
The commission is made up of Dr.
Giorgio Pittaco, chairman, who has been
?. member of the Austrian Parliament
irorn Trieste for ii fte<-n years; Rob?
erto Ghiglianovich, chief representa?
tive to the Dalmatian Diet from the
city of Zara for thirty years and chair?
man of the National League of Italians
in Dalmatia, and Dr. Gino Antoni, an
?alderman in tho free city of Fiume,
who is also the official delegate of the
Mational Italian Longue from that city.
Society of the Tnredeemed
They are all members of tho Society
?f the Unredeemed Italy, in Rome, where
the movement for pleading their cause
before the peace commissioners origi?
nated.
"The Italians of Dalmatia, Istria and
Fiume," said Dr. Plttaco, "are sure
that as America went into tho war for
the defence of the id"a of self-determi?
nation of small nations, America will
now do all in its power to help in do?
ing justice to our people. We an* here
to help thi.m realize annexation to the
motherland, fur which they have made
no many sacrifices in this war."
The commissioners made it plain
that th?*y were not at all satisfied with j
their talks with President Wilson and
Colon? 1 House in Paris. They have
corn? her?.* prepared to tour tho coun?
try on the lecture platform in addition
to statin'? their cnus,' to the Senate.
According to Dr. Pittaco, their an?
cient enemy, Austria, is ?vanquished,
but she is now replaced in tho form of
tho union of tho Jugo-Slavs, which,
they say, bids fair to be ?juite as diffi?
cult to deal wilh as Austria was.
Reprissent the Majority
"We are Italians, and we represent
the overwhelming majority of the pop?
ulation in our provinces," continued
Dr. Pittaco. "Our presence in Amer?
ica is the best possible proof that
the voters who sent us here by special
convention, are also Italians. Politi?
cally speaking, while we desire above
all to become part of the Italian king?
dom, we are willing that Trieste, Zara
and Fiume shall become free cities,
with neither immigration nor economic
restrictions against any of the many
races of the Adriatic coast.
Of the 250,000 inhabitants of Trieste
200,000 are Italians. King Victor j
Emmanuel, when he greeted us in Paris,
declared that Trieste was the most
faithful and loyal of all Italian cities.
When Italy declared war against Aus?
tria, 2,556 officers of the Austrian
army of Italian birth deserted and 249
?sr/ere killed while fighting for the
motherland. Of these 1,800 were from
Dalmatia.
Of the five delegates from Zara to
the Dalmatian Diet, Representative
Ghiglianovich said, three are Italians.
The majority of the aldermen of the
city of Fiume, Dr. Antoni said, are
Italians.
"??ara," said Ghiglianovich, "was
neve? part of the Balkan peninsula and
has never had anything to do with the
Balkan nationalities. From 1797 it
wa.*l a province of the Republic of
Venice, but Napoleon gave the prov?
inces to Austria. Unfortunately, in
186?, when Austria restored Venice to
Italy, Dalmatia was not restored with
it."

government is now carrying: on a popu?
lar campaign to secure the support of
women throughout. Russia, according
to refugees reaching hero from Mos?
cow. Mme. Radek, wife of Karl Ra?

to have made this remark to Mme.
Radek:
"If Bolshevism fails it will be be?
cause we could not got the mass of
women interested."
Many intelligent women are report?
ed to be cooperating with L?nine and
Trotsky, but so far they have pointed
out vainly that it will be Impossible
to win the support of the women as
long as religion is Haunted and as long
as divorce is made easy. The Soviet
propaganda bureau is putting out no?
tices that with spring will come, food
and clothes. They also harp on the
prospects for peace, as it is peace,
above all, that the women and peasants
want.
Women Not Nationalized
According to refugees and re?
ports there has been no general appli?
cation of the much advertised easy
divorce and easy marriage regulations.
The province of Tula mado an attempt
to nationalize women, but nothing
came of it. The same result followed
a similar decree issued in Moscow.
However, women have frequently

Weeks of Plotting

PARIS, March 1 (By The Associated
Press)?While the newspapers of the
United Kingdom are still speculating
over the mysterious escape from Lin?
coln Prison, in England, of Edward do
Valora, the Sinn Fein leader, the man?
ner in which ho effected his break
from captivity on February ?, has be
como known here.
'It was related to The Associated
Press by Sean O'Cealligh, tho prom- i
inent Sinn Feiner who is here asking I
the peace conference to recognize the '
"Provisional Government of the Irish ?
Republic," having crossed the Channel
on 3 passport secured by a subter- |
fuge.
"After tho midnight arrest of Ed
ward de Valera near his home in Grey
stone," Mr. O'Cealligh began, "he, with '
twelve comrades, was sent to Lincoln !
Prison, the other Sinn Feiners ar
I rested being distributed. Because of I
! Ue Valera's importance the strictest
watch was maintained upon the
prison.
"A committee was appointed to take
charge of the question of the release
of the incarcerated comrades, nnd the
first result of that committee's ac
tivity was the escape of De Valera.
Prison Surveyed First.
"The first task was to survey the
prison. Tho prison lay in an isolated
part of the town. The rear looked out
on a large open space. Just outside
the back gate was a small patch of
ground on which the prisoners were
allowed to cxerciso under guard.
"This place was surrounded by a
series of barbed wire entanglements.
Several armed wardens watched the
women and women of tho nobility. In
the provinces of Sarato?/, Volga and
Vladimir, the Soviet - declared that men
and women had aqua! rights and also
that if a person of cither eey. was not
married they were obliged tonccept the
first offer made publicly through se?
lections made by consulting names
posted at Soviet' headquarters. The :
children of such marriages, i' was de?
creed, are to become the property of

sunset a force of military was thrown
about the prison.
"The next move was to communicate
with De Valera, which was difficult,
Howi ver, one Sinn Feiner Btarted
working on a garden plot, of which
there were several near the prison.
He attracted De Valera's attention c.ie
day by singing Sinn Fein songs in
Gaelic, in which he told the leader
that an attempt would be made to'res?
cue him. The wardens' suspicions
were not aroused, because it was not
uncommon for Irish workmen to be
about the prison.
"This man appeared again several
days later and again sang a ballad n
which he told Do Valera that the rear
exit of the prison was the most feas?
ible for the attempt and asked De
Valt-ra to secure an impression of the
key to the gate.
Impression of Key Taken
"The impression of the key was se?
cured. 1 am not quite sure of the
method.
"This impression was wrapped in
paper with a stone and thrown to the
singer in the garden plot.
''While this was going on four Sein
Feiners escaped from the Usk Prison
in Wales, and this caused the author?
ities to double the guards of all the
jails and postponed the release of De
Valera.
"Tho sentries about the rear of the
prison were a grave menace to the
plans, and the committee tried to find
girls in the neighborhood who could
be employed to influence them. This
attempt was given up, however, and
finally a telegram was sent to Dublin
for two handsome young women, both
highly cultured university graduates,
who arrayed themselves as shopgirls
and crossed the Channel.
"The girls deliberately set out to
flirt with tiin soldiers and soon canu?
to know must of the guards. De
Valera was informed by code in a let?
ter that February ?i was set for his
escape ?and the procedure to be fol?
lowed was outlined as much as pos?
sible. This little code had been ar?
ranged for just such an emergency be?
fore De Valera was imprisoned,
"On the eve of February :? four mo?
tor ears packed with Irishmen wire
sent wandering about the country near
Lincoln to serve as decoys for the po?
lice. At ?! o'clock the prisoners wen?
brought, in from their period of exer?
cise. They then had a three-hour pe?
riod for wandering about the prison
before they were locked up for the
night.
"In the dusk, shortly after -1 o'clock,
the girls appeared and enticed tho
guards from the roar of the prison as
far as possible. Then two Sein Feiners
quickly cut a path through the barbed
wire.

Princess Wept Pleadingly as Troops
Arrested Joachim in Royalist Plot!
?1

New York Tribun?
Special Cable Servie?
(CopyrUht, 1P1!?. Now Tort Tribune Inc.)
MUNICH, Feb. 27.- This is the
story of the arrest of Prince Joachim
at a hotel here, as related by a man
familiar with the circumstances:
The prince was discovered at a
writing table, with the princess seated
in an armchair nearby, -reading a
novel.
"I presume you are Herr Joachim
of Hohenzollern ?" said the spokes?
man of the party sent to arrest him
in connection with the alleged royal?
ist plot.
The prince eyed the soldiers a little
contemptuously, and then said:
"I suppose that is my name in new
Germany. What do you want?"
"We have come," replied the leader
of the soldiers, "to arrest you for
complicity in the reactionary plot."
"That's a lie." retorted the prince
while the princess burst into tears.
"Don't ill-treat my husband," she
l ended. liVhe?eupon tho sergeant
lender ?if the revolutionary soldiers re?
plied quietly:
"Madam, wo do not do things tho
wny they were done when your
father-in-law ruled Germany."
The princess, a pretty woman, dried
; her tears when she learned that the
: soldiers were ot going to take her
! husband away. The prince was merely
required to give his word as a gentle?
man to consider himself under re
? straint.
He was required to repeat after the
sergeant the following pledge:
"I, Joachim Hohen/.ollern, consider
myself under arrest, and give my word
of honor not to escape from my bed?
room in this hotel."
Even this nominal arrest unnerved
the prince. He could not sleep that
I night, and went out into the hotel
j corridor to discuss with soldiers the
political situation. Then, toward
dawn, lie telephoned to the Prussian
Legation to protest, as a Prussi. n,
against his arrest, The official there
is said to have replied sharply that
the Bavarian minister was asleep and
could not be disturbed.
"Ah," retorted the prince, "what a
j differnt tone you would have adopted
b?x months ago."
The prince and princess were ex
| pellcd from Bavaria later in the day.
