Europe Thinks U. S.
Is Shirking Duty
LONDON, Feb. 2.—From the European
point of view America has assumed the
position of a fortunate combatant, who,
when the battle is won, walks away,
leaving his wounded comrades on the
field, J. L. Garvin writes in the current
issue of the Observer.
“That thought is very bitterly and
genuinely felt In Europe,” Garvin as
serts.
Because of the influence of President
Wilson, Garvin says, the Versailles treaty
was framed on the assumption of Amer
ican co-operation in its enforcement.

FREEDOM PLAN
FOR DALMATIA
OFFERED ITALY
“Patriotic” Element Will Ask
Home Rule Under a
Protectorate.
CABINET SOON TO ACT
ROME, Feb. 2—A new plan for settle
ment of the Dalmatian controversy, in
volving home rule for Dalmatia under
Italian protection, has been advanced by
radicals in the Adriatic districts, a dis
patch to the Tempo from its Trieste
correspondent today stated.
The correspondent said a report was
current in Dalmatian circles that patri
otic Dalmatians, in order not to em
barrass the Italian government, would
suggest the new plan for settlement of
the Jugo-Slav-Italian controversy to
Premier Nittl.
"PATRIOTISM” BACKS
DALMATIAN MOVE.
The new plan, according to the corre
spondent, was considered by the “patri
otic Dalmatians.” as affording new proof
to the world that Italian imperialism is
a fable, and at the same time would
show Jugo-Slavia that Italy Is de
termined to avoid future friction.
Should the Jugo-Slavs ultimately re
ject the Nittl plan as advanced at Paris,
the Italian government will insist upon
enforcement of the pact of London, but
simultaneously would give independence
and home rule to Dalmatia under a re
publican form of government with a con
stitution guaranteeing rights of free de
velopment for both Italian and .Tugo-
Slavie citizens in Dalmatia, according to
the plan.
CABINET MEETING
TO DECIDE ACTION.
The Popolo Romano said that the com
ing cabinet meeting will decide the
course of action to be taken toward

newspaper, believes the government has
reached the limit of its patience in
D'Annunzio's recent actions in captur
ing the steamer Taranto, carrying a large
shipment, and In arresting Gen. Nigra.
The cabinet decided that "vigorous ac
tion is necessary," according to the
newspaper.
An official communique announced that
on Jan. 27 a demonstration hostile to
Italy occurred at Spuiato. Several stores
were looted and the headquarters of the
local Italian society's reading club was
raided. Mobs boarded an Italian ship
in harbor and lowered the Italian
flag. There were no casualties.

in Search for
Actress Slayer
Man Dressed as Sailor Adds
Mystery to Murder in
Cleveland , O.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 2.—A man wearing
the uniform of a sailor is today being
sought by the police as the slayer of
Frances Altman, believed to be from Pat
erson, N. J., a member of the “French
Frolics” burlesque chorus, whose body
was found yesterday on a vacant lot here.
Bruises on the head and body, finger
marks on the throat, blood-stained fingers
grasping hair, led the police to pro
nounce the affair a murder. .However, all
is enshrouded in a heavy cloak of mys
tery.
According to other members of the
burlesque troop, Frances Altman, or Mrs.
Frances Altman Stockwell, as she was
also known, was last seen with a man
in a sailor's uniform late Saturday night.
Yesterday as the body of the young
woman lay in the county morgue, a man,
answering the description of the one who
wore the sailor's uniform, however in
civilian clothes, entered, looked at the
body and burst into tears. He fled be
fore any one could stop him.
Tattoo marks on the body, the police
believe, will assist In clearing the mys
tery. “I love W. B. Stockwell,” was tat
tooed on the right arm, while on the left
was “Billy Stockwell, with love.” On her
right leg, just above the knee, was
“Frances F. Altman.”
A note found In the woman’s handbag,
which was clutched In her hand when the
body was found, adds another element of
mystery. The note read :
“If you come out of this, don’t ever
come back to your little hubby in Den
ver.—C. H. E.”

Look at the picture and you will see why this is the ideal poultry fence. The first
five line wires at the bottom, are only 1 inch apart. That’s what keeps the small chicks
in and the vermin out.
“Square Deal” Poultry Fence requires no top and bottom boards, and fewer line
posts to keep it erect and trim. Thus, it costs, erected, much less than poultry netting.
Tt lasts many times longer because its wires are larger and stronger than the ordinary
netting wires. The galvanizing will not crack or scale off. The “Square Deal” knots
positively will not slip.
We also carry in stock the famous Chicago “Rod Top”
steel fence posts —the post that “drives like a stake, anchors
like a rock.” ,
