THREATEN TO CLOSE HOTELS

REGINA, SASK, July This
province of Canada, admittedly one
of the most prosperous provinces of
the nation, may be without hotel,
as a possibility that looms up to-
day. This is the result of an order
issued by the association of hotel
keepers. There are 405 licensed no.
tells in the province. All recently
went dry. Hotel men claim that
they cannot operate their hotels with
out losing money. Their claim is
that rs per cent of the hotels run
without a bar lose money. More
over, rs per cent of the hotels with
bar have depended upon the bar
to make up the deficit in the hotel
business.
Following government order the
hotel men met and decided that the
increased price of foodstuffs would
be assigned as the cause for leaving
the province hotel-less for while.

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
By J. W. 7. Mason

Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, July ga clash Of
antsgonistic interests between the
Slavs and Italians has occurred in
Albania, containing possibilities of
disturbance to the peace conference
otter the war.
Albania's geographical position,
across the Adriatic sea opposite the
southern extremity of Italy has caus-
ed the Roman government to insist
that Italian interests in Albania are
paramount Otherwise the Adriatic
cannot become an Italian lake.
Until Italy became a belligerent,
neither Serbia nor Montenegro show
ed any interest in the Albanian sit
uation. The natural military often
sive of the two balkan kingdoms is
rather in the opposite direction
through osnia and Herzegovina. The
only Ineligible reason, in fact, why
the Slavs should strike at Albania,
is because It 10 becoming necessary
for them to possess a defensive wea-
pom which may compel Italy to moder-
ate here -Slavonic policy. A large
part Of the territory which Italy hopes
to annex as her part Of the war loot
is inhabited almost entirely by Slavs.
The serious military situation In
Galacia, doubtless compelled Russia to
refrain from pressing her objections
to Italy's expansionist policy when
the Rome government was seeking its
price Of Intervention. But the stipu-
lations in the bond do not seem to have
been signed by Serbia and Montene-
gro. 1t Is probable Italy did not be-
lieve those countries worth consider
ing in her bargaining with the allies.
II this truns out to be the truth, the
subtle play Of Italian diplomacy is in
danger Of being effectively countered
By the glavs.
The occupation Of Albania by Slay
troops will be Of immense service tc

NEW YORK, July Frank Holt
wrote letter to his wife at Dallas
stating that he had planted trunk
of dynamite on either the American
liner Philadelphia or the Cunard liner
Saxonia, both of which left here for
Liverpool, Saturday. The letter said
that he had timed the explosion for
today. His wife turned over the let
ter to her lawyer in Dallas who i'm
mediately telegraphed the state de-
partment at Washington.
A wireless was Immediately (Tues-
day night) flashed everywhere on the
Atlantic. The Philadelphia's captain
today replied that he had searched
everywhere and in every piece Of bag
gage and that there was no trace
Of dynamite, and that he felt that
his ship was safe.
The Saxonia has not reported as yet
but the Cunard officials declare the
story is "a fabrication of an insane
mind.
They declare it could not have been
smuggled aboard the Saxonia, that
their inspection is the most rigid.
1t created sensation because of
Hollis uncertainty as to which ship
and the authorities believe an accom-
plice might have planted it.
The police have searched every ship
in the harbor.
