NEW GAS PLANT
BEING FIRED UP
Probably Will Be Put in 0per-
alton Before First of
July.

The new gas plant of the Memphis
Gas and Electric company should be
ready for complete operation before the
end of June, unless unexpected delays
prevent the completion of the work.
The new plant will cost about $500, 900.
When 1t is finished the company will
manufacture not only the best grade of
Illuminating gas, but also a number of
b~y-products, including coal tar, coke
and amonia.
Work on the big battery of coke
ovens has been nearly completed. The
ovens were fired up Friday, for the
purpose of having them thoroughly
dried out before the making Of coke
begins. This will require at least six
weeks of slow firing, as in the 10 big
ovens the brick contain many tons
of moisture.
The other portions of the new plant,
machinery, gas tanks and piping will
be erected within the next two months.
j. F. Rainier, general manager of the
company, returned Friday from a four
days inspection of the company's
mines in Christian county, Kentucky.
A number Of improvements are also
being made at the mines, in prepare
ton for greatly charging the output
when the new gas plant and coking
ovens are ready for operation. The
mines are now producing about 15O
tons daily, but that capacity will soon
be doubled.

which might otherwise have developed
upon Orlando and Sonnino for baking
Italian ambitions, II the Italian people
should accept his statement, the way
would he open for Orlando. on the
other hand, II the Italian people should

Mr.. Wilson'S gesture would prove
abortive, The president believed. fol-

people were In sympathy with his ideas
Of peace, and not with any imperialistic
or anneNationist policies.

tary force in the world, for this Is
precisely the sort OF question OF which
the Fiume dispute Is an example which
must in the future provide tasks for
the league of nations, To all practical
purposes the solution the president has
now sought. the solution of publishing

son and his associates will have
achieved a shining victory, not merely
for immediate justice in the case Of

Of the league Of nations in the world.
On the other hand. If the Italian peo-
pie rally to their leaders instead OF to
the president, il they refuse to accept
the advice of the president to surren-
der Dalmatia and Fiume, then not only
will the president have suffered a re-
verse in honorable battle for the rights
Of the small people in accordance with

son, on his part. since the United States
was not bound by any such agreement
as that to which England and France
subscribed, insisted thai In accordance
with his demand for the self -determi-
nation of peoples, Dalmatia should go
70 Jugo-Slavia, He has at the same
time insisted that Fiume should be
elected into some sort of free port,
and with a guarantee OF the league of
nations thus permit the Slavs to have
access to the sea in a manner analo-
gous to the rights assured to the Poles
through Danzig. The Italians, on their
side, have based their claim to Fiume
on the question Of self determination
IN a very narrow area Of the town
Itself, which is Latin.
II is not true, as the Italians allege,
that President Wilson brusuuely APP
pealed over the heads of the Italian
delegation to the Italian people. The
fact Is that after many weeks Of dis
cussion 1t a become perfectly ap-
parent that no accommodation of diff
ference Of opinion was possible short
OF the absolute sacrifice OF the Slav
rights to italian claims, This was a
fact because OF the peculiar domestic
situation In Italy itself. This situation
dates back to the entrance of Italy
into the war. Italian participation was
opposed by Italy's dominant political
leader, Gioliddi, who was an ardent
sy%mpathizer with the central powers.
A wave of Italian emotion swept Clio
l.ddi aside and Orlando. Salandra and
Sonnino took italy into the war, OBJ
tNining for Italy British and French
promises in the Adriatic. But Gioliddi
hided his time and personally attacked
his opponents. not because they en-
tered the war, but because they failed
to obtain Anglo French consent to the
annexation of Fiume, and 1t is a mat
ter OF political life and death for Or
escape from Gioliddi's attack to gain
Fiume, If they fail, they fan, II they
succeed they will endure. Thus the
real question which could not be ac-
c~ommodated by any compromise at
Paris was the question OF domestic
rather than international politics.
