The Associated Press gave the fol lowing jummary this morning: The situation surrounding Italy's claims before the peace conference for lights along the Adriatic seaboard has reached an acute phase. The council of four Sunday again listened to arguments by Premier Or lando and Foreign Minister Sonnino, who endeavored to straighten out the tangle, but their efforts seemingly wet for naught, so far as a give-and-take method of settling the contro versy is concerned. President Wilson did not take part in the session of tVe council and it is asserted that Monday, when a further effort will be made to surmount tne obstacles whieli are hindering an agreement, he likewise will be absent.

Italy, it is asserted, is still desirous of obtaining the entire "Dalmatian coast and adjacent islands and also the city of Fiume, without sharing the territory with the Jujo-Slavs. The Italian army is declared to be behind the Italian premier in obtaining com-i plete fulfillment of Italy's aspirations. The threat Is said to have been held out- in a dispatch to the premier from the heads of the Italian army that in case Italy's desires were not acquiesced- Italy without reference to the con ference would occupy th regions to which she considered herself entitled. The talk of the formation of an al liance to protect France from further aggressions by Germany has bro.is'nt forth the statement from a high source in the American peace delega tion that the United States will enter into no alliance which would be in consistent with the jspiftnt of the league of nations.

Aa Impressive Military Event, First Of Its Kind in History of the State. More than 2,000 of the flower of young American manhood, the rem nant of that wonderful fighting unit ci 3,600 men of th 120th infantry that went into the Hindenburg line, were guests of the people of the State at Charlotte last Wednesday. Some 40-000 people from all over the State helped Charlotte in its welcome to the soldiers. It was a great occasion, though rain interfered somewhat with the carrying out of the program- The following report of one of the impressive ceremonies of the day is taken from the Charlotte Observer: A double military event of the ut most impressiveness, the first of its kiivl in the history of the State of North Carolina, was held here early yesterday afternoon when three mem bers of the li'Oth infantry, first to break through the Hindenburg line, and the flag of the 113th field ar tillery, Thirtieth division, (North Carolina) were decorated. The indi viduals received the American distin guished jservice cross from Brig. Gen. Samson L. Faison, commanding camp Jackson. Those heroes decorated were Private William M. Wallace, of Othello. N. C Private James R. Wil liams, of Peytonburg, Ky., and Private Pete McKoy, of Thomas, Ky. Privates Wallace and Williams won their decorations when they rescued a wounded comrade from an exposed position in front of the lines near Mazinghein, France- October 1, 1S18. A remarkable story of lighting was succinctly told in the citation of Pri vate McCoy. He, single-handed, kill ed seven Germans and captured seven teen others, also captured four hos tile machine gun emplacements and rescued a wounded of?.cer of his regi ment, whom Private McCoy sent to the rear in charge of anotner soldier In an interview after the ceremony, Private McCoy told a representative of The Charlotte Observer that he would have killed the 17 Germans he captured "if that wounded officer had not waked me up. Private McCoy added that "I guess I was crissy, for I remember it all as if I were dazed while I was fighting, but I knew it was kill or be killed. When that offi- cer bez&red me to listen to tns pieaa- inc of those Germans, I waked up and told them to surrender. They did. Then I got sick and weak for blood was all over my hands and body. I guess I wanted to save my life more than be brave, whin I was in that lit tle scrap. You know, I run upon those fellows and there was nothing for me tu do but die. I thought, sj I decided 1 .v -oted tj take al least jre with me r,i' maybt '.hat way I cor-d save a i ini-'ije . did not v.t tl.em to kill ivy -n rrdes, sc I gut js 1 ot so fighting mad I went a little bit crazy for the time."

He is the junior partner be taken and two paper bills shall be; of the law firm of Mclar, V'arsar, left; but it is now truthfully writtenjnnd M:Lean, the senior member being that it so happened at the Methodist A- W, McLean- a member o' the War, parsonage last Wednesday night when i F. nance corporation in Washington, a thief made a leisurely round of theand Dejnocratij national committee rooms while Rev. Dr. R- C. Beaman1 man from North Carolina. Captaini and his family were at the church j McLean has been stationed for the; hard by engaged in worship at the mid-week prayer service. Mention of the robbery was made in Thursday's Robesonian, but fur ther details increase one's wonder at what manner of thief it was that de liberately selected for robbery the home of a preacher while he and his family were known to be engaged at church. For, look you, this thief's ac tions were marked by strangeness throughout. His trail led to every room in, the house, showing that he figured that he had plenty of time; and it is tho't that a confederate was on the watch on the outside From Miss Kathryne Beaman'3 room on the second floor he took a new pair of silk hose and left unmolested a wrist watch lying in plain view on her dresser- nor did he take the contents of her purse, which also was in plain view. Across the hall, in Dr. Beaman's study, he took from a drawer one dollar and ten cants in silver 2 half-dollars and a dinfe and left, lying right where he got the silver, two dollar bills. Downstairs, in Mrs. Beaman's room, he passed up a perfectly good watch again he did not have any time for watches and took some things of less value. On the back porch he got Dr- Beaman's rain coat, from the bath room he got a flash-light, and from the dining room and kitchen he got a supply of victuals, which he wrapped up in a cloth, ajso secured in the house, and evidently passed out to a confederate, who placed it under the steps, where it was found, the thieves having to abandon it in their quick departure. As stated in Thursday's Robesonian. the thief was in the dressing room adjoining the bedroom on the first floor when Dr. and Mrs. Beaman re turn rl from church. Dr. Beaman went to the back porch for a drink of water and Mrs. Beaman started into the dressing room. When she tried to open the door she felt some one j overseas. Private Musselwhite, who resist- and immediately the door was j was attached to the mecha.ical de opened and a man brushed by her j rartment of the army, kept Quentin as she stood in the doorway. Mrs. Roosevelt's aeroplane repaired le-fore Beaman was commg and Mrs. Beaman 1 Roosevelt was killed, at once with the gun, that there was a j burglar in the house. Dr- Beaman did not understand the call at first and did not respond as hurriedly as he might if he had understood that it was urgent; but he got into the room in time to see the thief take a dive head-first through the side win dow, through a screen. While Dr. Beamn was coming and Mrs. Beaman was calling for help the man, or boy, brushed books from a table beside the window and tried to remove the screen, failing in which he stood no longer upon the order of his going but dived through. The next morning the rain coat was found by Mr. Frank McLean where the thief dropped it in a bun dle beside the Standard Oil Co.'s tank near the Seaboard freight depot. Nothing else has been recovered and who the thief or thieves was or were remains an unsolved mystery. All Members of "Old Hickory" Division Have Returnd to American Soil.
