This will be of particular benefit to persons living in that part of the city. The Chamber of Commerce took the matter up with.Mayor George A. Quigley and W. F. Brooks, chairman of the park commission, and both were heartily in favor of the plan. It 1s believed that there are many persons living in tenements who have the inclination, but not the opportun- ity, to start small family gardens. Many are not working full time and the produce from the gardens would be of considerable assistance in, their scheme of household economics. The end of the Stanley street trolley line is not far from the ground to be used for the garden plots. Persons | desiring plots should register with the Chamber of Commerce.

Serbia. ITALY AND ALLIES REACH ACREEMENT (Continued from First Page.) ing to Austria virtually what she had already said about territorial ag- grandisement to Prince Von Buelow. she added that she wished Austria to pledge herself that,*what- ever the result of the war, she would respect the territorial integrity of The reason for this re- quest was that Italy, having taken her stand on the principle of palit- ical solidarity for the Itallan race could not consistently be a party, even indirectly, to any settlement of the war whereby the political entity of the Serbs would be threatened. “The Austrian view was that Italy's demands were excessive and unac- ceptable. She intimated that she considered it astonishing that Italy, having declared herself neutral when the war began, should interfere in any settlement between Austria and Serbla in addition to claiming for her. self extensive territories possessed by Austria. Rupture Seemed TInevitable, “The two points of view were so far apart that a rupture seemed in- evitable, but Prince Von Buelow suc- ceeded in averting such a conclusion. The negotiations were taken up afresh. Signor Sonnino stated that the min- imum of Italian demands included. in addition to the clause concerning Serbia, cessions by Austria of the en- tire Provincq of Trent and of Istria, with Triest and Pola, and also a cer tain number of Dalmation Islands. “*Austria came forward with counter suggestions, limiting the territory to be ceded to part of the Province of Trent and certain other territory, ex- cluding Pola and Triest. The latter city, under this arrangement, was to he transformed into a free town under Austrian suzerainty. g Italy Refuses Proposals. Ttaly definitely refused these pro- posals. It is asserted that Prince Von Buelow came to the end of his re- sources when he suggested that Triest be made a Hanseatic town under in- ternational control, and that he ex- pected both Vienna and Rome to re- fuse. ““It is understood that little has been accomplished since these last named proposals failed, and accordingly there Is a general feeling that Italy will have to recourse to arms.” Continuing Negotiations. ' Rome, April 28, 8:30 p. m., via Par- is, April 29, 3:30 a. m.—Italy is con- tinuing negotiations with the powers arrayed on both sides of the war. The diplomatic interchanges with the al- lies are designed definitely to clear the atmosphere with regard to what Italy ‘would obtain should she enter the w ar on the side of the triple entente. The conversations with the central empires seem to aim chifly at convincing Vi- enna and Berlin that this country determined to remain steadfast in her demands. Tt is said to have been pointed out to Germany and Austria that the Ital- ian program has not been framed by the present cabinet, which might be altered with a change in government, but is based upon the unanimous and insistent demands of the country to which the cabinet must submit or be removed from office. Foreign Minister Sonnino is credited with the ability to hammer home as forcetully as any other man in the country Italy’s de- termination to insist upon realizing her territorial aspirations. He is sald to have resisted obstinately the diplo- matic efforts of Prince Von Buelow, the German ambassador, while in- sisting that Trent and Triest are Ital- ian by race and history and must hbe returned to Italy. . Von Beulow After Austria. Prince Von Beulow still is striving to induce Austria to make concessions and prevent Italy from becoming one of the belligerents. A member of the government on tho other hand, when asked whether any agreement had been reached with the central empires made the significant reply: “Nothing has been done and nothing will be done.” Challenge to German World. Deputy Barzilai, a native of Trent, who has been selected to the chamber from Rome for the last twenty-five vears, speaking of the patriotic event at Quarto Sant 'Elena on May 5 when a monument will be unveiled in mem- ory of Garibaldi’s volunteers in the presence of the king and veterans of the war of independence, said: “This event will be an official dec- laration of war against Austria; it will be a chal ge of the Latin to the German world Negotiations Berlin, April 29, by Wireless tele-' graphy to Sayville, N.

The organization of the New Britain High school alumni with the hope of utilizing such a body in a campa for an athletic fleld is the purpose of a movement being started by me of the older members of the alumni body. Those who have been broached on the subject are unanimously in favor ot an athletic field, but nobody has yet come forward with a definite plan for acquiring the nec ry land. The first work to be done, however, is to organize the graduates of the school into an efficient body so that some of the benefits derived from such an organization may come to the New Britain High school. Lists: of graduates are now being prepared. ould Have Better Fields. The city has never had an effective alumni organization and the acquisition of an athletic field has never been taken up in earnest. There are few cities of New Britain's size which have so few provisions for holding athletic meets. KFootball games are held in Electric field, baseball games are held in Walnut Hill park, and track meets are not held anywhere. The athletics of the school will not have attained their greatest efficiency until money is provided for the work and an ath- lethic fleld is obtained. With a ficld, the gate receipts will provide all the money needed. 2 Gaffney in Favor. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, chair- man of the school board and a grad- uate of the school, believes that an athletic fleld would be of inestimable benefit to the community at large. Tt would not, he says, be confined ta the High school, but it would be used by all the schools for athletic contests. If the children in the different schools can meet each other in some way, it will mean much to them because they learn as much by association with each other as they do from their teachers. They ought not to be strang- ers. The need for an athletic field, he said today, is not confined to the High school, and its benefits would fall upon the whole community. There is now about $150 in the treasury of the present alumni asso- clation which is held as a nucleus for an athletic fleld fund. It is a com- paratively small sum, but it shows that the athletic field idea is firmly implanted in the minds of the grad- uates.
