it as a port which they say they
need for the economic development
of their young republic. Italians,
who before the war were subjects
of Austria, have been Throughout
manifesting great repugnance
against passing under the domina-
ton of the Slavs, that is to say, un-
der the rule of a greater Serbia.
There is nothing surprising in
this repugnance, since Serbia is a
Balkan state which has all the faults
OF her sister states ON the peninsu-
la. the spirit of violence and tyran-
ny and corruption and lack OF
higher civilization.
Certainly it would mean no prog
ress for Italian populations to pass
from Hapsburg domination to that
of the house of Karageorgevich.
Thus, it is only natural that the
Italian populations are turning to
Italy and demanding to be annexed
by her rather than foreigners. But
to grant this demand would mean
also annexation by Italy of Slav
and the latter refuse to
be annexed by Italy.
The conference has been trying
to find an amicable solution of this
puzzle and again it has failed.

President Of China
Refuses to Accept
Cabinet Withdrawal

Paris, May 16.-The Chinese
cabinet has resigned, but the presi-
dent has refused to accept the resig-
nation, according to telegram from
Picking to the peace conference.
The peace conference at Shang-
hal between representatives Of
northern and southern China, the
telegram adds, has broken up.
1t is not unlikely the proffered
resignation of the cabinet, which
was recognized March 8, has some
connection with the Chinese feeling
over the decision of the peace con-
ference concerning Shantung.
Representatives of northern and
southern China have been in session
at Shanghai for several months, but
the conference has been deadlocked
for most of the time. The main
conflict is over the constitutionality
of the Parliament sitting in Picking
under control of the northern gov
eminent. Recent reports have been
that a compromise appeared i'm
minent.

School Girl Shoots Self
After Quarrel With Mother

Puma, S. D., May l6.--Miss
Madeline Sheckles, aged II, of this
place, committed suicide by firing a
bullet from 45-calibre revolver into
her breast. The girl was a student
Of the Lead schools and had re-
turned to her home only short
time before. She was very tempera-
mental, and it is supposed that her
nervous system may have become
deranged by neighborhood gossip
connecting her name with that of a
man of the vicinity. Evidence at
the cornorer's inquest indicated that
she and her mother had had a
heated argument concerning this
gossip a short time before the

U. S. Warships Participate in
Naval Demonstration at
Smyrna in Connection
With Mandate.

Athens, May l6.-Greek forces
landed Wednesday at Smyrna. The
news was received here with great
enthusiasm.
Paris, May 16. An extensive
allied naval concentration has been
begun at Smyrna in connection with
mandate to Greece to administer
the city.
The British and the French each
have fleets on the scene with land
ing parties, the Greeks have bat
tleship and FIVE gunboats and the
Italians have FIVE large warships.
The United States naval forces are
the battleship Arizona and four
destroyers. The various allied
naval contingents are drawn from
the forces in the Adriatic and the
Black Sea.
Troops also are being concen-
trated from Saloniki. 1t is under
stood that British and French
forces are cooperating in the Greek
administrative mandate.
The Italian attitude has not been
disclosed, but the recent landing of
italian troops at Adalia, on the
southern coast of Asia Minor, and
the presence of an Italian squadron
at Smyrna leads to the belief that
Italy is seeking to safeguard her in
.terests in Asiatic Turkey.

BY PATRICK M'EVOY,
Universal Service Staff Correspondent,

New York, May 16.-Japan is 81
gravely concerned at the rapie
spread of bolshevism in India tina
she has an army of spies scattered
through the peninsula making notes
of the progress of the new politica
doctrine, according to Talbot Nun.
dy, traveller and writer, who for
many years has been in close touch
with affairs in Great Britain's east
,ern empire.
Mr.. Mundy, who formerly was in
the government service of India,
makes the interesting assertion that
the new political doctrine did not
originate in Russia, Switzerland OF
New York, but had its inception in
the active brains of a group of Hin
du occultists. Japan. he says, is now
alarmed by the possibility of its
spread from India through Buripaa
into China.
Would End Japanese Supremacy.
"If it ever does spread into China
the end of Japanese supremacy will
be in sight" said Mr.. Mundy, who
discussed the subject with the writer
in his studio on Fifth avenue. Japan
secs the danger and has an army of
spies in India taking notes and max
ing detailed reports. At first the
British government was alarmed a,
the presence of these Japanese agents
and made its displeasure known
to Toxic. Assurance was given,
however, just as in the case of the
influx of Japanese into California
and Mexico, that these men were
merely students, cooks, professors,
archaeologists, botanists, etc.
"The British have since learned
that there was little to be feared
from the Japanese espionage actvi-
ties. They found that the Japanese
were not actuated by any idea of
hostility to British ascendancy in
India, but were merely puzzled by
the manifestations and rapid spread
of bolshevism.
Japan has the most autocratic
in the world and the
people of the empire have no con-
ception whatever of democracy
The Chinese, on the other hand,
are essentially democratic-a nation
IF pacifists, non-resistant democrats,
but pacifi.m of course is merely
4 form of inertia and Japan in her
desire for commercial
may teach the Chinese
now to overcome this inerria and
awake the nation. When that day
it is likely to come in
he near future-God help Japan.
Russia Proved Fertile Field.
"Now as to the origin of bolshe-
7ism. Many persons seem to think
t originated in New York, and was
:arried from this city to Russia.
This is not the case. 1t really origi-
lated in India. Lenine got the idea

literate tribesmen look down from
the slopes of the Himalayas upor
the towers of Peshawur and fee
that their hope of an earthly para
disc is about to be realized.
The British in India row fine
themselves between two fires-the
aggressions of the Afghans on the
one hand and the activity Of the
Indian agitations on the other. 1,
must be remembered, however, that
while the British garrison in India
never has been strong enough to
hold the country in the eveEt of a
general uprising, the British have
always had the full support of the
better classes of the native popula-
ton.
British government officials may
have been stupid and autccractic,
but they have built up reputation
for incorruptible honesty. This has
always been their safeguard. The
sepoy rebellion would have been
successful, if large part Of the ma
tive troops had not remained loyal
to the British.
Education Only Cure.
observation-disclosures moral edu-
cation-is the only cure for the pres
ent agitation in India as we'll as in
Egypt. The situation in Russia
probably is very much the same. in
Egypt the British in their desire to
avoid giving offense to the native
population by Introducing religion
in the schools scrupulously re-
Trained from any form of moral in
struction. The result has been that
Egypt probably has the most thor
ougly dishonest native government
officials of any country in the world.
This state of affairs has given rise
to general unrest and opposition to
the government.
I'm India, the social unrest has TAX
en- a deeper hold than in either Rus
STA or Egypt because of the inherent
habit of introspection among the en-
tire population of the peninsula,
which numbers about 325,O0O,O00.
OF this great mass not more than
II to 1000 can read or write, and
not more than five to 1000 can be
said to be intelligently literate.
Lack of Teachers.
1.-THE great difficulty faced by the
British government is the lack of
teachers. The Appropriation pro-
vides only 10 rupees a month for
primary teachers, while those who
qualify for teaching the higher
grades are assured an income of 80
rupees a month. This has resulted
in depletion of the ranks of the
lower grade teachers. Missionaries
have been doing good work in
limited field by teaching the natives
free of charge.
1T has been said that Mrs. Besant
has been the head and front Of the
anti-British agitation in India, but
that is not true. She and Ghandni
and Tilak and others who have
come into public light in the past few
years, are merely catspaws for the
real agitators and I doubt that if
the latter have any definite aim.
Your Hindu adept in the occult is a
queer bird. He is like a monkey at
a piano, just ,hammering away for
general results, without a thought or
care as to what may happen"

HOW:TOGROW'
Cucumbers.

Two to FIVE hills of cucumbers
usually will produce enough for the
ordinary family. Cucumbers re-
quire considerable space, and for
that reason they may not fit into
the scheme of small gardens 1t is
possible, however, to plant the cu-
cumbers along a fence or near
building and train the vines on a
support of wire or strings so that
they will not cucumber the ground
or occupy the space required by
other crops.
In making the hills or the row
in which the seeds are planted, a
small amount of well-decayed ma
nure should be mixed with the soil.
A little fertilizer also helps. but it
should be used carefully to pre-
vent injury.-United States Depart

Paris, Nay 16.-Europe in the
condition in which it finds itself as
the result of the great war. cannot
afford to look with equanimity upon
| the vexed Adriatic situation, which
is still far from harmonious solu-
ton.
But the military side of the Adria-
tic puzzle is not the only one filled
with danger for the whole of
Europe. Among the populations of
the eastern shore Italians and Slavs
are mixed in a most bizarre fashion.
Fiume is an essentially Italian
city, while its suburb, Suzzak, is
pre-eminently Slavonic in popula-
ton. lara is purely Italian town,
but just outside its very gates is
an area thickly populated by Slavs.
Spalato and Sebinica have mixed
populations, the Italians and Slavs
being equally attached to their
respective language and traditions.
In these circumstances it is i'm
possible to trace the frontiers in
following ethnographical lines.
Whatever you may do, it will al
ways be necessary to leave certain
Italian populations under Slav do
mination and certain Slav sections
under Italian domination. 1t is,
therefore, easy to understand why
this combination of difficulties has
brought about a situation that seems
almost insoluble.
Italians Claim Dalmatia.
The Italians claim Dalmatia, or
at least the most important islands
in the Adriatic fronting that littoral,
pleading the necessity of strategic
defense. The Slavs refuse these
claims on the ground of the ma
tional principle.
Italy claims Fiume as an Italian
city, on the principle of nationality.
