Paris, Oct 1.-The inflamed condi-
tions In the Adratic region and the
dissolution of the Italian Parliament
for the holding of "A general election
on Nov. 16, as Rome dispatches an
s4ounced, is giving the supreme coun-
ell much concern, In view of the pos
sibility of all the Balkans becoming in
solved in the turmoil. In peace confer
ence circles the approaching Italian
elections are regarded as n struggle
between the war and peace parties, or
rather between the forces on the mil
pacific tendencies.
While 1t appears that DAnnunzio
and Fiume will be chiefly In issue, the
FEELING is growing in Paris that as
DAnnunzlo has Indicated that his as
pirations include far more than Fiume,
the Italian situation is daily becoming
more of an international question.
In view OF the conditions, the view
is expressed here that the agitation
might flame into war any day II, for
instance, Jugo-Slav should happen
to be killed by Italian troops.
Landing of American marines at
Trou by Rear Admiral Andrews was
not directed by the supreme council
here, according to the American peace
delegation.
II was explained that when party
of Italians entered Trau and II was
feared n clash might occur between
the Italians and the Serbians. the
Italian admiral ON the scene appealed
20 the American admiral to intervene
for the maintenance of peace. This,

jackets are maintaining order in the
city of Spalato, Dalmatia, where Rear
Admiral Phillip Andrews is stationed
with his flagship. the Pittsburgh, ac-
oording to reports reaching this city.
The Italians at Trau, Dalnatia, have
requested the Italian government to
send ship to Trau for their protec-
iion and also TO obtain the release Of

iiians.
The government has replied that II
cannot interfere for the maintenance
of order in sections of Dalmatia en-
trusted 10 the care of the Americans,

miral Andrews.

NATIONAL GUARD WANTSEQU|PMENT
 & General Heavy Asks for $135, 100000 Worth of Surplus Supplies
By Associated Press

Washington, January 23.-Brig. Gen. John w. Heavey, acting chief of the militia bureau, recommended to the House military affairs committee today that a rider be included in the army ap propriation bill authorizing the Secre- tary of War to turn over the national guard from the surplus supplies of the regular army, equipment valued at $135,- OO0,OOO.
 General Heavey said the general staff was in favor of transferring the supplies but was without authority. He explained that if this equipment were turned over
 General Heavey urged that the national guard be maintained in the same form as it was before the United States entered the war and that the increases in it's strength authorized by the act of June B. 1916, be carried out
 The value to the country during the war of the national guardsmen cannot be overestimated he said. At the time men were needed most the national guard provided a force of 36700O men and 12, 12s officers. They have done magnificent work, comparing most favorably with the forces of any other nation. The ef- hciency of the officers .~was proven by the fact that of the entire number only 352 were discharged for inefficiency
 The militia bureau strongly advocates universal military training. but believes it should be carried out in connection with the national guard"
 The act of June 3, 1916, provided for It divisions of total strength of 400, S64 men, General Heavey said. but because of the war the terms of the act were not carried out

Troy, January 23.-(SpeciaL)-Mr Joe He has had three sons in the army dur ing the war. One son, Walter, was in government work in Alaska where he helped build railroads and aided in get ting out timber for airships. He was returning home and had reached Van couver when he became ill of influenza, which later developed into pneumonia He has recovered now and is on his way to Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, where he will be mustered out.
 Another son, Andrew, is still in France with the army. The other son, Jobe is sleeping on the fields of France, having been killed on November 9. in action. Mir. Redmon said it was singular that his son should go through the war and fall at the last, just as his brother went through three years of the war between the states and was then the last man killed in his regiment just before the surrender.

Lower California.
, the Editor Of The Star:

4V the fsQitef Oh ne star:
Recently Senator Ashurst introduc-
ed bill into the Senate looking TO
the purchase by the United States
from Mexico of the territory OF
Lower California. He recommended
this on the ground that there was the
curing this territory, and thereby
gaining footheld upon the North
American continent, eventually being
a menace to the peace and welfare
of the country. Senator Ashurst con-
tends that the purchase should be
part with 1t.
What would be more fitting than
that the United States buy Lower
California. making il state of the
United States. and setting il aside as
distinct district for the American
negro to live-that is. those of that
race who should care to make that
their future abode--fo govern and
rule themselves. according. Of course.
States. and in the same manner as do
the other states Of the Union, and
with their proper representation in
waiting. and faithfulness and
oyalty-combined with great sacri-
fees and gufferin8s and hard work
make the race ambitions for a chance
to join in the government. In Lower
California, free from all prejudices
and determinations. 1t viii have
every opportunity of showing its true
worth. through the applying Of Amer
ieS's Institutions Of government and
education. Why not give it the
- -
two races-for many reasons-cannot
live in peace and harmony for many
more years. Whether this is SO or
not-and II is only a matter of per-
sonaI opiHion-both races would be
helped by the innovation. Negroes
would hail with delight the oppor-
tunity the plan. offers for racial de-
peIopment. and I feel safe in saying
that fully two-fhirds OF all the
American negroes would emigrate to
the peninsula.
Lower California is a long peninsula
stretching out from the mainland
south of California. having the Pa
of California on the east. 1t is about
$50 miles long and about $50 miles
wide, containing 1850 square miles
Of territory. 1t has many fine har-
bors. and many islands fringe its ex-
tensive coast. On its plains the soil
Is AStAsaS, <1Au "fch h u
CATION can be obtained, raises the
most abundant crops, The principal
vegetables raised are maize. manioc.
wheat, grapes. oranges, lemons. pine
apples and many other of the finest
fruits. In the valleys horses. sheep
and cattle are raised. Fish abound on
the coast. as do pearl fisheries. Gold
mining is carried on, and large
masses of other metals are found in
the sierras. In summer the climate on
the coast varies from IS to II de-
grees, a2d the skies are clear and
perfectly cloudiess. 1t is mIch hotter
in the interior.
The possibilities Of development are
unlimited in Lower California, and
the chances for the coiored race in
America to work out its destiny and
salvation presents itself there az does
no other elsewhere, and 1t can make
the peninsula a state that the United
States will be Justly proud Of.

To the Editor OF Inc StaF.
II am rightly Informed, a dis
charged soldier is entitled to the priv
iieee of wearing his uniform for
definite period.
believe all soldiers who have been
wounded, and especially il permanent
ly injured should be permitted to
wear their uniforms with distinguish
ing marks during life. II don't be-
1ieye these fellows who have earned
our gratitude wish to excite our pity.
but from many points of view . dis
tinguishing mark is desirable IL may
prevent many an occurrence to which
our wounded heroes should not be
forced to submit.
This morning hundreds of car pas
sengers witnessed d learned hero
of the famous I'd Division. deftly
swinging an ak on an old railway tie
to provide wood for his stove in the
switchbox where he is employed as
switchman on the Washington
ginia railway. The note of sympathy
aroused a patriotic fervor throughout
the car That uniformed sMitchn1an
will do more to maintain patriotic
morale than all of the braided officers

If not the uniform. then some very
evident insignia betokening wounds

be adopted for wear after the uniform
