HISTORY
OF LITTLE ISLAND

chasm in the rocky shore. Across
the bay from Argostoli is the rival port
Of Luxouri
"Cyclopean and Hellenic walls are
still standing on the sites of the anc-
lent cities of Crandi, PROM and Samos,
while a few miles beyond Argostoli
there rises relic of Venetian days,
the strongly fortified castle of st.
George.
"The Cephalonians, who are mental
~ alert and who are more purely
Greek than the inhabitants of any of
the other Islands of the Ionian group,
have shown great ingenuity and in
dustry in building terraces for the cul-
tivation Of the vine and olive. One of
the chief products of the island is a
peculiarly favored currant which finds
a ready market in Holland, Belgium
and Germany. In addition to their
agricultural pursuits. the Cephalon-
ians are interested in shipbuilding,
silk-spinning. basket-making and the
manufacture of carpets. An odd lace,
made of aloe fibre, is exported.
"Elato. also known as Monte Negro
tBlack Mountain). which is more than
5000 feet high. gets its name from the
dark pine forests which clothe It's
slopes"

| WASHINGTON. May 4.-"Thc re-
ported occupation Of Ccphalonia by
French and British forces, for strategic
purposes, marks another cycle in the
strange history of this little island in
the lonian sea which has played the
role Of shuttlecock in international
diplomacy for more than 1000 years"
Its unique story is told in the following
interesting bulletin issued today by
! the National Geographic Society.
whose headquarters is in Washington.
with an area about three times as
great as that Of Martha's Vineyard on
the Massachusetts, coast, Cephalonia is
the largest Of the seven lonian islands.
The origin Of its settlement is shrouded
in the fascinating uncertainty of Ho-

history has been marked by success

southern Italy, sailed 10 the Ionian sea
and captured several of the islands,
preparatory to overthrowing the Greek
empire. This remarkable adventurer
died on the island of Cephalonia while
engaged in quelling a revolt at a time
when he seemed to have laid the foun-
dations for a Norman empire similar

England.
Following Robert Guiscards invas-

PRESIDENT FIRM
AGAINST WARNING
viii Accept No Compromise on Warm
Ing TO Be Given Travellers on

tBy Associated Preas.i

Washington. March President
Wilson today told Chairman Flood OF
the foreign relations committee that
he will not consent to any compromise
on the armed ship Issue. and that ko
desired a direct vote on the resolu-
tion warning all Americans to stay
off armed belligerent ships. Flood
says he believed some resolution that
will be acceptable to the president
will be agreed on today. II Is report
ed that ten members OF the foreign
relations COMMITTEES favored reporting
out the .McIemore warning resolution
and nine were against It.
The administration forces. on ac-
count Of delay In the house. have
turned to the senate to carry out
President Wilson's demand for the de-
feat OF the resolution vasning Ameri-
cans OFF armed ships. Chairman Stone
OF the foreign relations committee.
announced he was not in accord with
President Wilson. and proposed that
the senate adjourn to another legis-
latIve day TO clear the parliamentary
situation which held the Gore resolu-
ton from a vote. Senator Gore de-
clared the impelling reason for such
course was the report that President
Wilson had told congressman that
Germany might not be ungrateful
and might result in advancing oivillza-
ton by bringing about an end Of the
European war by midsummer" Sen
ator Stone yehemently denied the re-
port. President Wilson and Republi-
can Leader Mann viii discuss the Re-
publican attitude this afternoon.
President Wilson seeks the Repub-
lican support.
In a spirited debate in the senate
over the ship question. Senator Gore
defended his resolution. saying: Il
think any American placing Ger
many's interest above the United
States is a traitor and there are lots
