PROBE HAzING At ACADEMY
Two Midshipmen Have Been
Driven 10 Attempt Suicide BY Per-
sseution OF Upper classmen

ashington.-Inquiry into reported
cases of hazing al the naval academy
at Annapolis was ordered by Secretary
Daniels. The secretaTy's action fol
lowed the reported attempt at suicide
by two midshipmen, which reports
have said was result Of persecution
by upper classmen. Rear Admiral
Scales, superintendent of the academy
however, reported today that Midship-
man P. H. Settler, of Lebanon, Pa,
who attempted to take his own life,
had denied that his act was the result
of hazing.
The second rumOred case of at
tempted suicide had not been con-
frmed, Mr.. Daniels said, and now is
being investigated.
Il would have no hesitancy," Secre-
tary Daniels said, lin expelling a hun
dred midshipmen from the academy
if | found they had been implicated in
hazing of any description. Students
and officers at Annapolis know Presi-
dent Wilson's and my own view on the
subject | do not believe that there
has been any hazing at the naval acad-
envy, but will do everything possible
to get the facts in the case.

ITALY ANGRY WITH ALLIES
Editor Of Tribuns Says Even calum'
mated Germany Never Showed
Less Regard For Enemies

cal circles and extended comment in
the press has been caused by reported
receipts of warnings from Great Brit
ain and the United States TO Italy with
regard to the situation at Fiume. II is
declared the warning from England
stated in effect that if the present
illegal situation" at Fiume should con-
tinue Italy would run the risk of
being out of the alliance and the peace
conference" and that it was received
few days after a similar warning
from the United States.
The Tribuna, one OF the leading
commentators, declares Italy is not
alone responsible for the Fiume sit
uation, and incidentally attacks what
it calls the "preponderance" of Presi-
dent Wilson in the peace conference
and alleges inability or unwillingness
of the allies to limit it. President
Wilson, says the newspaper, although
a high parsonage, is not exempt from
human weaknesses, as is proved by
his present grave nervous illness.

PROHI MEASURE
SENT TO WILSON
HOUSE ADOPTS CONFERENCE RE
PORT, ALREADY AGREED TO
BY THE SENATE
DAYS or BEER ARE over
Vain Efforts To Return To Confer
ence To Eliminate One
Section OF Measure

Washington.-Ena of the pro
hibition bill was completed by con-
gress with the house adopting the con-
ference report, already agreed to by
the senate, and sending the measure to
the president for approval. Priced
ing the house approval of the report
by a vote of 80 to 20, vain efforts
were made to send it back to con-
ference with instructions to eliminate
a section permitting state authorities
to issue search warrants.
Complete congressional approval of
the bill means that the days of two
and three-quarters beer are numbered.
The bill becomes effective as soon as
signed by President Wilson, or with
in ten days should his illness pre-
vent him from acting on it. Simulta-
neous with the presidents signature
the war time enforcement section De-
comes effective. This section, as well
as the constitutional enforcement por-
ton, prohibits manufacture or sale OF
any liquor containing more than one
half of l per cent of alcohol.
Anti-prohibition members OF the
house made their last fight against the
inevitable in voting to send the Dill
back to conference on motion OF KEEP
resentative Igou, Democrat, Missouri
who protected against state officers
enforcing a federal law through their
authority to issue search warrants
and complained that similar provision
had been overwhelmingly defeated IN
the hOnse.
Opposing Mr.. Igou's argument, Rep
resentative Webb, Democrat, North
Carolina, said that the house dlsap-
proval of the provision was due to the
false impression that state o11lclals
would be given the power OF arrest
as wen as search. The house voted
down the Igou motion 215 to SO,
Beyond this final attempt the vets
ceax ented themselves by volclng com
plaiAt against the measure as un-
} American" and accusing the mouse
conferees of exceeding their authority
by accepting some senate amendments
to the measure.

MAY RECOGNIZE
KOLCHAK REGIME
LIAsoN BETWEEN DENEKINE AND
KoLcHAK TO BE
COMPLETE
U. S. FAVORADLY IMPRESSED
The American Government Looks Fa-
Vorably Upon The ZemstVo
Council

Washington. The calling Of the
Zemstvo council by Odmiral Kolchak
is looked upon favorably by the Unit
ed States government, it is indicated
at the state department, and it is be-
lieved that the holding Of the national
assembly, which is a step in the right
direction, may lead to the recognition
by the United States of the Kolchak
government.
The liason between General Dene-
kline and admiral Kolchak is said to
be complete in official dispatches
reaching Eere.
General Denekine in the south OF
European Russia has established
regular line TO communication with
Admiral Kolchak in western Siberia
and is able to keep in close touch
with the all-Russian forces on the
Ural front.
Strenuous effort IS now being made,
according to these advices, to form
military junction between the FORCES
sc widely separated, and it is believed
when this is accomplished that the
elimination of tne Bolshevists IN Eu-
ropean Russia will be but a matter OF
a few months.
Owing to the extent Of territory that
must be covered and the necessity OF
consolidating the positions and espe-
cially of keeping the commissary or
ganization functioning with the armies
the work of uniting the two fronts is
long and tedious, but it is said that
satisfactory progress is being made
in this respect.
