ADRIATIC COAST The Secret Treaty of London and 1 erritory England Agreed to Give Italy TO BREAK THE ALLIANCE Once again there are hopes of agreement on the Adriatic question. This time we hear that direct negot iation between Italians and Jugo slavs will be adopted a measure which brought about a gratifying but short lived harmony a year ago, at the Congress of Oppressed Nation alities in Rome. But one of the fea tures of the Congress was its con finement to generalities, its avoid tive of detailed consideration of territorial conflicts. When the war more speedily and triumph antly than could have been hoped at the time of the Congress, there had already been much friction; and wih victory and hot heads on both sides got into control of the dispute . Last December direct ne gotiation would prohabiy have offer ed the best hope of a satisfactory solution, now, when feeling on both sides has been heated almost to the flash point there is less hope of success. The question of Fiume cannot be settled by itself; it belongs with the dispute over Istria, the conflict a single AMERICA TO ADMINISTER GERMANY BROUGHT HER TROUBLES Constantinople and Parts of Asia Minor, According to i Mongenthau, the EX-MINISTER TO TURKEY PARIS, May 23.

There was a good deal of realizing at the open ing of the cotton market today due to profit taking after yesterdays ad vance, and this was further pro moted by disappointing cables and unfavorable weather over the cot ton belt.

Last evening at the New Rritre-s Hotel a delightful banquet was en joyed by members of the Alumni Association and friends.

It was' voted that the money in th etreasury be used towards im proving the College campus, and a committee was appointed to attend to this. This closed one of the most pleasant evenings of the Col- FOOD THREE PER CENT LOWER. whole. Last week it was reDorted that the Italians would make con cessions in Dalmatia in return for Fiume. Here, indeed, they have no standing on the argument of nation ality so heartily invoked when Fi ume was in question. Ninety-seven per cent, of the Dalmatians are Slavs three per cent, are Italians. The Slavs, following the Goths, overran Dalmatia of the Romans; later Ven ice conquered most of the seaboard, lost it tohe Turks, reconquered it, and lost it to Austria, when Venice too, became Austrian. The long Venetian occupation has left archi tectual monuments of undoubtedly Italinn character .in the coast cities; it also left a legacy of hatred amorfg the Slavs who were treated none too well by the conquerors. Wheth er the coast cities retained their Latin character all through the Slv immigrations of the Middle Ages is lege Commencement SI TV O T T - n f ,-3 " . ..

The Macedonian cries from Sebeaico and Spalato, which were so prominent a feature of recent Italian national demonstration, were the cries of minorities. The treaty of London assigned to Italy ad the Dalmatian Islands, strategically of great importance if the eastern coast of tne Adriatic were held by a naval power, and che northern part of Dalmatia, in cluding Zara and Sebenico and run ning down to a frontier a little north of Spalato. The population thus to oe annexed, according to the census of 1910, was about 300,000. The strategic argument excellent while itaiy had a gtrong neighbor, be comes of no consequences now that the conference has decided to re quire the Jugo-slavs to maintain no navy and no strong coast fortifica tions. In about nine tenths of the occupied territory the Jugoslavs took a plebiscite last Winter on the ques tion of union with the Jugoslav state the Italians prohibited the vote in some localities and by a large majority every commune vot ed for union.

Coxey the lead er of Coxey's army Senator Pomer one, Democrat of Ohio today in troduced resolution providing for the submisson of all amendments to the constitution of the United States to the people for ratifica tion. of unredeemed Italy which it would be disgraceful to leave to the for eigners; now that a compromise seems possible, Italy may be will ing to make concessions in Dalma tia. But the Slavs are suspicious. They argue that the vinyards and olive groves of Dalmatia are able to afford a scanty living to the popu lation, so long as their exports into the interior are favored over Italian competition; but that if they were drawn into the Italian economic sys tem '.he process of depopulation by on rapidly before the war, would still further accelerated . In other words, it is argued that an Italian Dalmatia would be starved country which could not support the heavy garri sons that Italy would probably maintain and would be any expen sive luxury for Italy; wwhereas an Italian Fiume might be made a joaree of protit. COMMENCEMENT AT AT LANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE The Seventeenth Annual Com mencement of the Atlantic Christian College was held this morning in the College Auditorium. It was a fit ting climax to a most successful week of commencement festivities. The play given by the Dramatic club on Tuesday evenng and the operat ta given by the School of Music on Wednesday evening drew large and appreciative audiences. All pro grams rendered were of a high order and were enjoyed by the many friends of the school. The Senior Class was very fortun ate in securing Dr. Finis Idleman of New York City, to deliver the ad dress of the morning. The name of ur. laieman induced many people to leave their business and their homes at the ten o'clock hour and assemble in the auditorium. The address was of a very high order, . pleasing the most critical. He spoke on an old theme: "What is Education." with a freshness and vigor that delighted all. Both teach -w MUU v o W CI C made to feel the greatness of their respective tasks. At the close of the address Presi dent R. A. Smith, in a fitting man ner, conferred the degree of "A. B." on the four graduates, Mrs. Mabel Case, Mr. Magruder Sadler, Mr. Ben jamin Ferguson and Mr. Joel Vause. mi. ine program of the morning brought to a close one of the most successful years in the history of the institution.

Germany's ec noinic status under the terms of he Peace treaty is the result of her own behavior, particularly throueh the activity of submarine warfare was the answer of the allied and as sociated council to Count Brock-dorff-Rantzau at the head of the German delegation in reply to his note regarding the economic situa tion in Germany. The allied answer is reported to have said that the German reply is an exaggerated resume of the ac tual conditions existing in Ger many, and the answer within itself ignores consideration of the causes which led to the imposition of the terrrs.
