 withdraw. To avoid complications, the Allied troops retired to their var ious barracks, and the clry was thus left in undisputed possession of D. Annunzio's ten thousand. They at once proclaimed the annexation of Plume to Italy, hoisted an Italian banner oyer the Town Hall, and the entire population celebrated the event with frantic rejoicings. For days past. as the Italian troops were Ieav- ing Plume, there were painful scenes parting. Crowds stood by and Wept and the soldiers were so affected that many declared they would not leave. The city was in mourning. A further shock was caused when it was an nounced that the Italian cruiser Elm manuele Fniberto, which was eight months in the harbOr as a sort of symbol of Italian protection, was also to leave, with the Dante AIiEhieri. Hundreds of persons gathered on the mole and wept. The cor-mander gave orders to prepare for departure at midnight, but the sailors and stokers were on the point of lEutiny. One hundred sailors deliberately left the ship and stayed ashore, and those on board refused to raise anchor. Final ly, at six o'clock in the morning, the cruiser was able to leave the port, but only to proceed to the roads out side and in the sight of Plume, where she rema incd cruising. The Dante AL 1ghieri remained in port, the sailors refusing to raise anchor, declaring they would leave Plume after they knew it was to be Italian.
 Poets Departure for Plume.
 How D'Annunzto had been able to leave Ronchi is stated as follows. He was four days at Ronthi preparing the expedition. There was stationed there a battalion of grenadiers, un- der the command of Major Reina, a friend of his. who consented to join the expedition. Shortly after mid night on Thursday they sent for forty motor trucks to a neishborinS depot. The lieutenant in command of the de- pot at first refused the cars, but when he was told what they were for he not only consented to give the cars, but offered to join the expe- ditfon himself. The column set out irnm ediately, with D'Annunzio at it's head, and along the road it was join

 the American Embassy at Rome have lodged a protest is denied in an offi-

All that was done was to send a Concillor of Embassy to the Un- der-Secretary for Foreign Affairs for information and for a statement of the intentions of the Italian Govern ment.

Plume was cut off from direct communication with the rest of Italy, and only some meagre details were received of the ulterior acts of D. Annunzio after his troops had taken possession. Many incidents will by history be recorded as q mixture of comic and heroic, but there is no doubt that for the present both the people of Plume and of Italy take

BUSIEST WEEK OF
 LEGISLATURE WILL BEGIN TODAY WITH
 OMPENSATIONACT
Revenue Measure Will Then Be Taken Up in the House and Several
 Weeks May Be
 Required
By w. T. ROLES

Montgomery, July 27.-(special)-The coming week will be one of the busiest of the entire 1919 session of the Ala hama legislature. The general revenue bill, containing provisions for raising about s1o.50o.ooo annually for the next four years, the largest sums ever raised for state purposes in Alabama, will en- gage the attention of the lawmakers dur ing the entire week and perhaps for sev- eral weeks.
 Subjects never before taxed in Ala bama, but included in the pending bill are expected to net the state treasury over S1, 1,60O.0o0 or about three-fourths of the total increase of $2,ooO.oo0 Coal and iron ore for the first time are to be taxed in Alabama on a tonnage basis and from this source alone 1t is expected to realize $1,2o0,oOO. This falls on the Bir- mingham district alone.
 Governor Kilby, said to be the origi- nator of this scheme of raising revenues, is strongly committed to the enactment of this clause of the bill and is said to have stood out against every influence iudl COGlQ DS S4 OAS4tb lO bOoA NO SeA my il from the bill. He has been told that it would ruin the mineral industry in Alabama and put the Alabama operators at the mercy of their competitors in nearby states who will not have this burden to bear.
 To all these representations he has list ened attentively, but has given no in dication that he will recede from his original position. It is stated semi-au thoritatively that the governor may agree to a reduction in the tonnage tax, but will not agree for the tax to be elirn- mated entirely.
 The governor has modified his views with respect to the industrial exemp- ton clauses to the extent that he is willing for the exemptions to continua to the end of the 10-year periods for those corporations or concerns now in operation or under construction, but not to any new concerns or new construc- tions or industries.
 The workmens compensation bill has the right of way in the house tomor-. row, but it is not expected to consume very much time.
 While the house is considering the general revenue bill in committee of the whole the senate is expected to mark time There are a few important meas ures pending in the senate, but they can be disposed of in a very short time.

GERMANS HOLD ID
 LETV|A TERRITORY
Make Effort to Avoid Com pliance With the Allied
 Evacuation Order
By Associated Press


 Paris, Friday, July 27.-The German hold on the territory they occupy there and are making every effort to avoid compliance with the allied order that they shall avacuate the country speed- ly, according to messages from Colonel Groome of the American relief admnis- tration in Libau.
 Colonel Fletcher, commanding the forces in Libau sympathetic with the Germans, has distributed over wide area posters declaring that Karl Ullman. head of the government of Letvia, is aiming with British cooperation, to ex- pei all the Baltic barons and other Ger maps so as to make it impossible for Germany to retain her strong influence in the former Baltic provinces and illustrate the coming alliance between Germany and Russia"
 The poster also declares that Premier Unman and the British are endeavor- ing to make a powerful ally of Russia, to the great injury of Germany's fu- ture Colonel Fletcher had this poster read to all his troops and has given it wide circulation.
 Gen. Von Der Goltz is also making every effort to delay the German evac- uation of Letvia until after the harves, apparently in the hope of not having to leave at all, as he frankly admits that the German soldiers were promised land in L.etvia- and will be greatly disap- pointed" if they are forced to leave.
 The general has asked that the evacua- tion be postponed for period of "A days but the allied mission at Libau is urg- ing the peace conference in Paris to take steps to force the Germans to leave LetVa within four weeks
 Gen. Von Der Goltz is in command of the regular German organizations. but Colonel Fletchers forces are made up of demoblized Germans, together with Let's and Russians, sympathetic with the efforts of the Baltic land barons, who are chiefly of German extraction. to retain control of the Baltic states

For the Good of
 the Community

N IN US report to CIlC dC N1OuCSOlllO1y afeW days ago the recess budget committee attempted to refute the statement often heard thatAlabama is poor State-some use the word pauper.
 On this subject the committee said:
 "Wehave gone as thoroughly into the financial condition and needs of the state as the time al lowed us would permit Great emphasis has been laid on the state debt, while little or noth ing has been said of the states assets
 "The people are constantly told how much the state owes, while they hear little or nothing of what the state really owns, hence the feeling among the people that they get nothing for their money expended. No business concern could succeed if it's liabilities were constantly exploit ed, while it's assets were as constantly over looked.
 No report on the financial standing of an ir- dividual would be just to that individual 1t the report dealt only with the liabilities and gave him no credit for his assets. This is exactly the thing that has been done for the state
 "The financial condition of Alabama furnishes no grounds for pessimism. Compared with her assets, the indebtedness of the state is by no means distressing True the state owes S932515 but it should not be overlooked that the physical valuation of property, the title to which is directly in the state, is more than S20,500,000, exclusive of the public roads and highways which in values would run into the millions.
 "On the whole the indebtedness of Alabama as compared with surrounding states makes no bad showing The state of Tennessee has an in debtedness of $14O00,000, Georgia S6,500000 Louisiana $11,O00,000, and these states are con stantly making progressive steps and as con- stantly seeking to meet the demands of the peo- pie for better institutions and better service"
 It has been stated, without official verifica- tion, that annual incomes in Alabama exceed $200,000,OO0 That means the states wealth is increasing at the rate of $2O0O00O00 year, or an average of $80 for every man, woman and child in the state.
 And it may be suggested here that if this irl- formation is correct, and it comes from sources that cannot be doubted Governor Kilby will have more money next year than can be possibly expended under the schedule of appropriations recommended by the budget committee. The revenues from this source alone, assuming these income figures to be correct, will approximate S6,00O,OOO, compared with the $400,000 estimate of the budget committee.
 If the budget committees revenue pro- gramme goes through and the income tax reaches the figures mentioned, the state will collect something like S16 900 900 year. instead
