KEEN UREECE AT LIBERTY TO AVOID WARFARE Italy Re-affirms Determination to Continue War Against Tentons Rome, Tuesday, Dec. 6, 3 p. m.— The Allies do not desire to force Greece into do they sup- port any anti-dynastic movement in Greece, asserted Premier Boselli in his report on the war, delivered here to- day before the chamber of deputies. Premier Boselli reiterated the deter- mination of Italy to maintain the war with her allies until the restoration of Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro was accomplished. This he termed “the noble and essential object of the war.” At the close of his report the premier sent a message of greeting to war, nor ‘“‘our valorous Latin sister, Rumania,” trusting for her final success. The premier recapitulated the his- tory of Italy’s participation the war and reiterated the reason which induced King Victor to enter into the struggle. As a proof that Italy was prepared to push her operations vig- orously, the premier announced that there were now 2,500 factories work- ing on war material, the workers being one-fifth women, whose partici- pation both in industries and agricul- ture was increasing daily. He de- clared that victory would insure the equilibrium on the eastern Mediter- ranean, which he termed one of the chief foundations of Italian policy. He said Valona would be Italy’'s strategic post on the Adriatic, from which would radiate her future commercial expansion in the Balkans. In conclusion he protests against the dismemberment of Poland, which he said was confirmed by the action of the Central Powers; against the deportation of Belgians, the bom- bardment of open towns and the sink- ing of steamers carrying peaceful and unarmed passengers. He reiterated the unshakable deter- mination of Italy to remain loyal to her allies and to employ all her en- ergies to insure the ultimate attain- ment of victo: City Items underwear—cotton and but warm at Wilson's. in Duofold wool—soft —advt.

Burritt House and Public Meet- ing to This End Has Been Called for Monday. At the earnest solicitation of Rev. J. E. Klingberg, Mayor George A. Quigley has called a public meeting of all people interested in preserving historical buildings, traditions and } s in New Bri to held at ain, to be ock. The chief aim of this meeting will be to ascertain the feas- of organizing a New Britain al society ving the old T.ee house Main street and the- Klihu Bu - | ritt home in the rear of J. M. Finne- gan’s livery stables. Rev. Mr. Kling- berg is deeply interested in the hi tory and tradition of early New Brit- ain and believes that all old Ind- marks should be preserved wherever possible. Some time ago Rev. Mr. Klingberg consulted with Mayor Quigley regard- ing the organization of a historical so- ciety and the latter talked with a of people about the city on the matter, There was lack of suffi- cient enthusiasm to warrant tion at that time. With the the old Lee homestead, however, those interested in the preservation of these old landmarks realized that they act at once if at all. Conse- quently the meeting has been called. it is open to the public and a large attendance .s desired as the opinion of a representative body of citizens is wanted. | No plans have heen evolved for the organization of the society and it it is not known what steps would be taken to preserve the old Lee house, it is understood, will shortly be razed by the new owners to make com for a big business block. The traditional history of both the Lec house and the Burritt house is too well known to need an elaborate re- view. The Burritt house was at one time the home of Blihu Buritt, where | he lived, worked and studied. The | The Lee house was the first house on | Main street in New Britain, built by | Col. Tsaac Lee almost 300 years ago. Among other things, it served at one time during the revolutionary war as a prison for a tory. It would also be within the province of a society such as it is proposed to collect, preserve and hand down to following genera- tions all histovical facts connected with the pioneer days of this city.
