TO SELL PONY TO AID MOROCCO RED CROSS

Walter Lynge, part owner of the Courier, was over from Rensselaer Saturday on business. Notwithstanding that he chooses to reside elsewhere, perhaps more from business necessity than from choice, Mr. Lynge regards Morocco as his home town, and while here last Saturday he made arrangements to sell a Shetland pony for the benefit of the local Red Cross. The pony will be sold on the street here tomorrow evening at auction, and half over $25 realized in the sale will be given to the Red Cross. This money will be used to put the Red Cross magazine in the public schools. Charles Martin will contribute his services as aucioneer and it is hoped that a large crowd will be present. Mr. Lynge recently made a somewhat similar proposition to Rensselaer and Will H. Ade, of this county, went over there to buy the pony. He made but one bid and got the animal, but it is hoped that a little more spirit is manifested in the sale here tomorrow evening.—Morocco Courier.

PEACE SHIP IN BREAKERS

WAR WITH ITALY LOOMS AS ORLANDO WITHDRAWS AND TROOPS OCCUPY CITIES. PARIS r April 24.—Premier Orlando late today issued a reply to President Wilson’s statement on Fiume. It covers five pages and contains a protest against the methods employed by Italy's associates, especially by President Wilson. Premier Orlando asserts Mr. Wilson, if he means to address his statement directly to the Italian people, is using; the same methods he applied to the common enemy, Germany, prior to the armistice agreement, when he told the German people there could be no negotiation with their government. Premier Orlando’s statement contains some bitter . remarks against President Wilson. It denounces the application of “open diplomacy” towards Italy “while secret diplomacy is being applied to all the others.” Orlando characterizes 'the President's attitude as an “innovation in international affairs.” The burden of his counter argument regarding Fiume is that Italy claims that port on the basis of Mr. Wilson's own fourteen points. Friendly to U. S. The reply expresses Italy’s frienship for the American people. “President Wilson must admit,” says the Italian premier, “that in our discussions I have never relied on a treaty by which I realized he was not bound. “I have always based the Italian claims on reason and justice. “I deeply regret being unable to convince Mr. Wilson of this, but. he admitted to me the truth that justice is not the monopoly of any one man and that aH men are liable to err.” Italy Backs Orlando. , The statement of Premier Orlando was issued at the headquarters of the Italian peace mission. It was unanimously approved by the Italian delegation. At the'Hotel Edward VII, where the Italian peace, delegates. are quartered, it was stated late today that advices from Italy “reflect the full suppprt of the whole country of Premier Orlando” In his stand on the Fiume question. It was added the Italian prime minister is assured of an enthusiastic welcome upon his return to Rome.
