Beause of Neeessity. ’l'he Green Book is said to show that if Italy fights it will be because of necessity, and that during .the nego- tiations with Austria the representa- tives ‘of the dual monarchy apparent- ly had failed to realize that Italy was firmly determined to entér the war if she was unable to obtain satisfactory territorial concessions through diplo- macy. The documents seek to demonstrate first to understand that one of Italy’s chief purposes was to have ‘ler recognize the justice of the demands made by this country, For Italy it was a ques- tion of maintaining her dignity before the world, and at any cost. Contain's Italy’s Note. Thé Greén Book contains also the note of May 4 in which Italy, after summarizing the course of events and emphasizing that Austria’s course had been contrary to the letter and spirit of the triple alliance treaty, denounced that treaty. This latter act was on May 4, when the duke of Avarna, Italian ambassador at Vienna, acting under instructions frem his govern- ment, notified the Austrian minister of foreign affairs that Italy consid- ered Austria’'s declaration of war against Serbia a violation of the triple alliance treaty. He added that the negotiations started first by Germany and continued by Austria with a view of giving Italy compensation for main- taining neutrality had resulted in Italy deciding to resume her, complete lib- erty of adtion both because the Aus- trian offers were totally inadequate and because Ttaly’s situation had be- come {intolerable. Austria made no reply but continued the neégotiations, offering additional concessions. It is said here that Austria already said the commission wanted to Mrs, Louis Delificia. Mrs. Louis Delificia, aged twenty- six years, died last night at St. Fran- cis’ hospital after a short illness. She leaves her husband and one child at the family home, 177 Oak street.

New York, May 19.—Friends of the United Hatters of North America may be asked, through organized labor, to come to the assistance of the 186 members of the body who are : de- fendants in the suit of D. E. Loewe & company “in whose favor judgement for $252,130 was rendered in Novem- ber, 1912. A statement to this effect was made today by John W. Sculley, president ©of the United Hatters, presiding over the sixth annual convention of the organization, now in session here. Mr. Scully sald ‘that so far the conven- tion had not taken action on the matter, although he admitted that it had been discussed in executive ses- sion. Admit No Legal Obligation. “We do not admit or recognize any legal obligation of the United Hatters Wwhotsoever,” said Mr, Sculley. “We have not now, nor did we ever have a fund which would be applicable to i the payment of such a judgment, “If certain of our members in Dan- Bethel or any other places are in distress, naturally we feel that we ; should assist them, regardless of how the distress was occasioned. Judgment - $300,000. “The judgment against the 186 sur- | Viving members of our organization, 8rowing out of what has been termed the Danbury case, now amounts to | approximately $300,000, including in- terest at 6 per cent. for over two years. Our present membership is about nine thousand and to raise that amount among ourselves would be a difficult task. If we do eome to the assistance of the distressed members it will be by individual effort, and it is possible we ‘will ask our friends throughout the United States through organized labor, to help us. No ac- tion has yet been taken, however, along these lines. “IL desitre also at this time to cor- j1ect an impression that has apparent- 1y gained credence throughout the country, that the defendants in the suit voluntarily pledged their prop- | erty in payment of the judgment. This |is not the case. The property of 250 members of the organization was attached when the suit was filed.” Ctt)) Iz‘ems ; A daughter has been bonn to Mr and Mrs. Kenneth Hoffman.
