Washington, April 19. In explana
tion of the apparent anomaly involved
in dispatching Italian troops to the
French war front, while French and
British troops are now in Italy, Ital
ian military experts pointed out here
today that Italy has a large number
of soldiers available for service if
they can be properly armed, equipped

disorderly conduct against Prof. Wil
liam Isaac Thomas and Mrs. R. M
Granger was dismissed by Judge Gra
ham in the morals court today.
Attorney Clarence Darrow of the
defense was upheld in his contention
that, although the elderly sociologist
and the pretty young wife of an
irmy officer were found in a room to
gether at a hotel, this did not con
stitute disorderly conduct. -
A, Bruce, Bielaski of the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington has
igents at work gathering evey pos
sible scrap of evidence concerning
, the, relations of the pair which may
shown possible violation of the Mann
act.
Mrs. Granger's husband, a lieuten
ant in the signal corps, sailed for
France last February and almost im
mediately the friendship between her
and Prof. Thomas began. The be
trayal of the soldier husband, ad
mitted by the defense today, has
greatly intensified the interest felt in
tht case by Mr. Bielaski.
Prof. Thomas and Mrs. Granger
made trips to Philadelphia and Wash
ington and detectives are examining
ill trails to learn if he paid her rail-
roaq tare.
Prof. Thomas recently was droooed
from the faculty of the University of
Chicago, where he held the chair of
lociology, He is widely known as
in author and lecturer on the subject.
' M'CUMBEB, FLAYS
MEN WHO DELAY
U.S. WAR PROGRAM
.Washington, April 19. Delay in the
government s war program was se
rerely criticised in the senate today by
5enator McCumber of North Dakota,
who defended the part taken by con
fess, and resented .receipt of many
post cards bearing the late Joseph H.
thoate's words: "For God's sake,
hurry up." These, Senator McCum
ber said, should be sent to the gov
. trnment departments.
'The delay is due to shameful fail
ure of those appointed by the admin
istration to speed ifp," said Mr. Mc
Cumber, asserting congress had per
formed its duty with unparalleled
alacrity, generosity, in appropriations
and unanimity of action.
Despite appropriations of more
than $1,750,000,000 for the government
shipbuilding program,. Senator Mc
Cumber said, it had been "grossly
neglected" and pot one-tenth accom
plished of what should have been
done..,
Referring to the large appropria
tions for aviation, the North Dakota
member said there were no planes in
France and a "mere bagatelle" in this
country.
"Wild, awful extravagance" in gov
ernment war expenditures also was
criticised by Senator McCumber.
HOLLAND REFUSES
-GERMANY'S OFFER
Of BELGIAN COAL
Washington, April 19. In seeking
to arrange commercial agreements
with the northern European neutrals,
Germany is offering properfy seized
in invaded territory in exchange for
the neutral's products. Dispatches
to the Mate department today said
Holland had refused an offer from
Germany of 50,000 tons of Belgian
coal, when the Dutch government
learned where the coal was to be
mined. .
Offers of grain removed from the
Ukraine, when the Germans invaded
t Russia,, played an important part in
' the negotiations for a commercial
agreement between Germany and
Holland.
Holland has agreed to export 5,000
horses to Germany in return for per
mission to , import S.wiss cement
through German territory.
SOCIALIST TO
FEDERAL PRISON
FOR ESPIONAGE
Minneapolis, April 19. James A.
Peterson, candidate for the republican
nomination for United States senator,
and J.'O. Bentall, socialist candidate
for governor, both convicted last
week of violating the espionage act,
were sentenced to terms of four and
five years, respectively, in the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., by
Judge Page Morris in federal district
court here today. ,
A stay was granted in each case
pending appeal. Peterson's convic
. tion was the result of articles written
by him and published in the Minne
apolis and St. Paul American, a week
ly newspaper which has been barred
from the mails. Bentajl was con
victed for making an address last
July at Hutchinson, Minn., in which
he urged repeal of the draft law.

NAVAL AVIATION
DISMAL FAILURE,
SAYS BRITTEN
Washington, April 19. Naval avia
tion was characterized as a "dismal
failure" by Representative Britten of
Illinois in the house today.
Naval aviation must be co-ordinated
before it can be a success, he said.
The house, he declared, would be
"astounded" to know how few ac
credited pilots the Navy department
had January 1 of this year.
Defending the progress of the avia
tion, Chairman Padgett of the house
naval affairs committee, said he had
been informed that there is not now
an aviator abroad who has not a ma
chine with which to fly. A member of
the aircraft board recently told him
he said, that the Navy department was
about 60 days behind in naval fight
ing machines, but that it expected to
overcome the delay in a short time.
