FIN [TALY SAVES MONEY BY ALPINE POWER Reduces Coal Bills by Har- nessing Streams That Rush Down Mountain Sides. By the Assoclated Press. ROME, April 1. —Harnessing the rapid streams that rush down from Apennines ! and the Alps, Italy, in an effort to make h herself independent of the coal fields in , 3 'the United States, England and Ge! many, bids fair soon to lead the worid as a producer of hydro-electric power. She is already ahead in Europe. Today Italy boasts a hydro-electric power of 3,000,000 kilowatts. Norway is next in Europe with 1,700,000; France is third with 1,000,000, and Swit- zerland fourth with 900,000. Use of Electricity Increases. In consequence Italy's use of elec- tricity has increased enormously. - In 1920 she consumed 4,500,000,000 Kkilo- watt hours. Last fiscal year this was 10,000,000,000. This year 10,500,000,000 or more. Mussolini and his government are to & large extent responsible for Italy's. predominance in this development. Real- izing that Italy, because of her lack of natural resources, particularly ooal, would always me economically at the ' mercy of other’ countries with a s plus of such resources, he instituted an extensive program for hydro-eelctric | wer. The American traveler who goes by | train from Rome to any Northern Ital- jan city or crosses into Austria, Swit- | gerland or France, will see from his coach window dozens of dams and powerplants high up in the mountain, and high tension wires and towers run- ning in scallops over mountains and across valleys. Power to Move Trains. In some sections his train will be run by electricity. Running trains was, in fact, the first job that hydro-electricity was given in Italy, and now all the Ital- ian railroads are gradually becoming electrified. Most of Italy’s electricity from water- power is produced in the northern por- tion of the country, from rivers such as the Piave, Po, Adige, Serio and Brenta. Northern Italy contributes 68 per cent of the total hydro-electric power, Central Italy 19 per cent, Southern Italy 10 per cent and the re maining 3 per cent comes across the border from Switzerland. ‘The Italian electrical industry is the oldest in Europe, having had its ori- gins_in Milan, when the power station of Santa Radegonda was constructed in 1882 by the Edison Society. Now 93 per cent of the communes are provided With electricity. American Gold Star Mothers Detalled instructions to Gold Star Mothers who will make the pilgrimage | to France under the direction of the ‘War Department have been issued by the quartermaster general of the Army, who is making all arrangements for the movement. These instructions have been worked out so that each Gold Star Mother will be able to tell in advance, almost to the hour, how her time will be spent during the entire trip. About the only thing each mother or widow will have to do for herself is to gecure the necessary passport, and this has been made as simple a procedure as possible. Transportation and ex- ?M money from their homes to New ~vk will be sent to them in advance. ©On arriving at New York they will be met by Army officers and escorted to first-class hotels, where reservations have been made. The stay in New Jork will be from 24 to 48 hours. At the proper time they will be escorted to the steamship upon which passage to Europe has been arranged, and quar- 'eud in cabin class accommodations. ocean voyage will last about eighc days and when the ships dock at Cherbourg, France, each party will be met, by officers especmly detailed for the purpose and taken in a special train to Paris, where first-class hotel quarters have been reserved. The first day in Paris will be devoted to resting. On the utond day the women of each party will pllcc a wreath on the Tomb of the French Unknown Soldier and attend a reception in which the French War Mothers, government officials and prominent civilians will participate. On the third morning the groups going to the different cemeteries will leave Paris, traveling in motor busses, and proceed to the cemeteries, where they will re- main for about seven days. ‘Twenty-five women will be assigned to each bus and an Army officer will have charge of the bus. The itineraries to and from the cemeteries and the daily itineraries while at the cemeteries have been varied 5o as to take in points of historical interest as well as some parts of the battlefields where Ameri- can troops were engaged. Upon return to Paris each party will remain for about five days and during this time an opportunity will be given to see the points of historical interest in Paris and vicinity. The entire duration of the stay in Europe will be 14 days. Except in case of illness or other un- avoidable cause, it will not be possible for any woman taking the trip to re- main in Europe for a longer period than 14 days nor to leave the party with it will be ANCIAL.

BALTIMORE, April 5 (Special).— The Consolidation Coal Co. of Maryland has filed suit in the United States Court here against the Western Maryland Railway Co. to have declared invalid an agreement alleged to have been entered into in 1917 between the late J. H. Wheelwright, then president of the coal concern, and C. R. Gray of the railway company.

This includes 76 officers and one warrant officer. The new battery will be a machine gun outfit, and will be known as Bat- tery E. It will complete the formation of this unit which is a mobile anti- aircraft outfit, including searchlights for picking out enemy p planes in the night. This organization, during va- rlous public ceremonies here, has given demonstrations of its ability to focus the powertnl selrchlllht beams to planes high in the air. Although eftores. have been under way for several months to recruit the present three batteries to top m'ennh, 80 that they could be drawn u fi furnish men for the new organization, the recruiting campaign will start in earnest this week, when the organiza- tion will give nightly demonstrations in the park at the north end of the Key Bridge in Georgetown. Efforts will be made to interest capable young men in an enlistment in the organiza- to Fort Monroe, Va., for its annual en- campment. The organization also plans to give a big demonstration in the Woodridge section of the north- east on the evening of April 12, at which time it is expected that the 121st Engineers Band, Meyer Goldman, lead- er, will give a concert. Maj. Walter W. Burns, commanding the 260th Coast Artlllery, was informed last week of the action of the Militia Bureau in authorizing the increase of strength of his organization, and was directed to take immediate steps to re- cruit it to a minimum strength of 50 men. Upon completion of this, he will inform the brigadee headquarters which in turn will communicate the fact to the Headquarters, 3d Corps Area, at Baltimore, Md., so that an officer of the Regular establishment may be de- tailed here to give Federal recognition. Maj. Burns has designated Capt. Robert T. Daly, now in command of the Headquarters Detachment and Combat Train in the artillery unit, to take charge of the recruiting campaign, and it was announced that he will designated to assume command when recognized. This new assignment of Capt. Daly will make a vacancy in the Headquarters Detachment, which will permit a promotion, and other promo- tions will be made to fill the vacancies in the commissioned grades in the new battery. Simultaneous with the move into the new armory quarters, the attendance of the Guard generally showed an in- crease, six organizations mustering enough men to be classed as superior, three of them with 100 per cent, ac- cording to figures made public by the brigade headquarters. However, only 10 of the 19 units of the brigade | mustered for drill last week, the others | having previously completed the limit | of 36 armory drills for the quarter.
