should take this opportunity to
secede from the league.
"The acceptance of the Ameri-

the Hochi, "shows that the princi-

The first view of the birdmen was
afforded during the morning hours
when the miichines were tested out.
They flew over the business section of
the city executing graceful maneuv-

ideal for flying, the sky being
from dark clouds, the sun »shining and
! only a slight breeze from the south
east. The machines in operation dur
ing th^ morning climbed to high ele
vations at time, while at others they
j skirted the roofs of buildings so that
[the drivers could be plainly seen. E.
M. Hoover, secretary of the state lio
erty loan committee, was one of the
passengers given a trip over the city
i this morning.
SPECIAL ARRIVES EARLY
The circus with its 14 cars, 18 air
planes, 11 flyers, 47 mechanics, officers
and aides slid into Boise this morning
at 5 o'clock, two hours ahead of ached

heralded, however, and a few people
were at the depot to see the special

NEW ENGLAND TUMBLES
BACK TO REVERB'S TIME
Boston. April 19—Just 144 years
ago Paul Revere made his famous
ride from Boston to Concord and
Lexington, because there was no
other means of quick communica
tion. Today, New England, with
telephone service paralyzed, found
itself resorting to some of the
means of communication employed
in Paul Revere's days.
In many small towns and villages,
with only limited telegraph facili
ties, men on foot and on horse back
went from town to town carrying
messages and transacting business
usually carried on over the tele
phone. In many places the automo
bile supplanted the time-honored
steed and small boys as messen
gers, reaped a rich harvest.

Controversy Raised Over

Washington, April 19 — (United
Press)—The treasury department has
pulled itself out of the tight over ob
servance of Sunday in the demonstra
j tions in the victory loan campaign.
Any controversy over whether the
free'flying circusses should be permitted;
! that being the only available date—
! they would refuse to subscribe to the

; Walla, Wash., obtained according
whether motion pictures promoting
bond sales should be shown, or whe
ther other exhibits should be kept
open, will be left entirely to the local
loan committees concerned, it was
declared today.
But a great long distance fight has
been raging, regardless of the stand
taken by war loan organization offi
cials. Secretary Glass' office lias re
ceived a veritable deluge of tele
grams some protesting against any
kind of demonstration on Sundays dur
ing the campaign but more demanding
that no cancellation of flights, ex
hibits, parades, etc., be made. So the
treasury withdrew.
At Butte, Mont., the ministerial ob
jection to a Sunday exhibition of the
French, British and American aces

Unemployment and Massing of
Aliens Responsible; 3Q Delib
Chicago. April 19.—(United Press)—
Chicago today was in the midst of a
crime wave .attributed by Chief of
Police J. J. Garrlty to "unavoidable
post-war conditions."
The crime record here to date listed
105 homicides since January 1, hun
dreds of hold-ups and burglaries and
many more minor crimes. Unemploy
ment, return of ex-convicts, embold
ened by army service, a slackening of
morality for some returned soldiers
and the crowding together here of
many nationalities were points in
Gnrrity's explanation of conditions. He
said there would be more breaking.
Instead of less. In the next few
months.
FEARS INCREASED CRIME.
"Clilcako's record, though appalling
in my opinion, is no different from
that of any other large American
city." said Chief Garrity.
"Since the signing of the armis
tice there have come home scores
of criminals, ex-convicts and
thugs who are returning to their
old haunta after being permitted
ot join the army. With the factor
of unemployment and the massing
of dozen's of nationalities in the
narrow limits of a city, crime will
not decrease, but will go to unbe
lievable heights. That is true of
the larger cities in the whole
country. It is an unavoidable
post-war condition."
Following the murder of 20-year-old
Bertha McMillan by a jealous lover
and the prabably fatal shooting of a
70-year-old druggist by a youthful
bandit, Chief Garrity today was in
conference with his 36 police captains !
in efforts to make plans to cope with
the situation.
30 COLD MURDERS.
In addition to the shootings the last
two days have seen a $34,000 bank
hold-up, murder of a watchman by

London, April 19.—(United Press)
—Marshal Focli, In an Interview
with Ward Price, Paris corres
pondent of the Dally Mall, predict
ed that 60 years hence the Ger
mans. If given the opportunity, will
make another assault on France
and Great Britain.
"Now that we have reached the
Rhine we must stay there," Foch
was quoted as saying.
"It is our only safety. We must
have it as a barrier and we must
double lock the door.
"Remember those 70,000,000 Ger
mans will always be a menace to
us. They are a people both en
vious and warlike. Their natural
characteristics have not been
changed by the events of the last
four years. Fifty years hence they
will be what they are today. The
next time the Germans will make
no mistake. They will break
through into France and seize the
channel ports as a base of opera

ITALIAN CASE IS

Silence Veils Proceedings of
Crucial Conference; Japs'
Territorial Claims Leading
Issue at Today's Parley.
By FRED S. FERGUSON.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Paris, April 19—With the Italian
situation still In a critical stage—so
far as available information is con
cerned—the "big four" was expected
to be confronted with the additional
problem of adjusting: Japan's terri
torial claims in China.
Premier Orlando was scheduled to
present a demand for Immediate ac
ceptance of the annexationist program
granted Italy under the pact of Lon
don, at yesterday's session of the "big
four." In some quarters It was even
believed he would threaten to wreck
the entire peace settlement by refus
ing to sign the treaty and holding the
other powers to their agreement not
to riiake a separate peace, unless Italy's
aspirations were recognized. What
transpired in the meeting remained a
mystery, as the entire proceeding was
! surrounded with the deepest secrecy.
From certain unofficial sources it was
learned the Italian question was con
tinued until today. This could not be
confirmed.
The Japanese are seeking, princi
pally. ratification of their concessions
in the Shan Tung, peninsula and re
tention of Kiao Shau which they
seized from the Germans. The Chin
ese are bitterly opposed to Japan's
claims and it is understood the ma
jority of the peace delegates are in
clined to favor the Chinese.
