President Wilson declared fatty last
Wednesday that Italy should not have
Fiume because that outlet to the Adri-
attic was essential to the prosperity of
the Croatians and other Jugo-Slav
peoples.
Premier Orlando promptly an
nounced the withdrawal of the Italian
delegates from the peace conference
and on Thursday himself left Paris.

ent In the vicinity Of the French capi-
tai. I'VE do not break with our allies,
but hand over our interests to their
hands trusting they will loyalty fulfill
their mission" said Orlando.
The seriousness Of the situation was
recognized by all. and France and
Great Britain renewed their efforts to
bring about an agreement. The italian
delegates endeavored to throw on Mr..
Wilson personally the blame for the
break, asserting that just before the
president issued his statement they
had received from Clemenceau, Lloyd
George and Wilson proposals that FL
ume should be free port, all the Dal-
matian island cities going to Italy and
the hinterland to Croatia. This plan,
they declared. would have been accept

city Of Fiume should be Italian and
It's port only internationallzed. While
their ambassador was on his way with
. reply to this, said the Italians, they
we're astounded to read In a Paris
newspaper Mr.. Wilson's statement and
appeal to public opinion in Italy. They
asserted that Mr.. Wilson made grave
error In diplomatic etiquette and that
nothing was left for them except to
withdraw from the conference.

speculation. 1t was believed there
would be no consequent delay In the

peace with Germany. OF course Italy

launched last week and the results OF
the first few days were SO satisfactory
that the treasury officials were almost
surprised. The slogan. Let's Finish

The plan Of the allies to withdraw
their troops from Russia and to supply
the anti-bolshevik elements with NUM-
tions met with the hearty approval Of
the governments Of North Russia and
0msk. but they protest earnestly
against Doctor .Nansen's proposal that
the bolsheyiki be supplied with food
provided hostilities are entirely stop
ped. The loyal Russians have no In
tention or desire to cease their war
fare on the Lenine-Trotzky forces and
are confident the bolshevists will be
defeated. In this view the Russian rep
resentatives In Paris and Washington
concur. According to the present
plans Of the allies, the Omsk govern
ment win be recognized by them soon
after the peace treaty Is signed. and In
the meantime any diplomatic advances
by the bolsheviki will be ignored.

PROHIBITION.

The great day of national prohi-
bition has dawned. For a period
war prohibition will be effective, and
while it may lapse for a few months
next January will see permanent
prohibition inaugurated. 1t can hard
ty be denied that the ultimate ef-
feet of prohibition will be the bet
terment of the human race and this
is it's only necessary defense. The
cry that it was wished upon this ma
ton while 1.-The soldiers were in
France is absurd.
AS a matter of fact, for many
years the sentiment has been grow
ing to such an extent that the dull
est prophet could see that liquor was
doomed to die an early death. That
the death has come is not doubtful
although it will take some years to
thoroughly enforce the new laws.

Many Candidates Address Fourth ot
July Crowd at Pilgrims Rest.

: Crystal Springs, Miss, July e.
One of the biggest picnics and rallies
thus far held in this section was eel
ebrated on the Fourth of July al
Pilgrims Rest, one mile and half
east of this place. A large crowd OF
people gathered to celebrate and hear
the candidates discuss their claims
for the several Offices to which they
aspire. Speeches were made by H.
w. Mason and J. A. Smylie, candi-
dates for the Legislature, and w. B.
Lockwood, Candidate for the State
Senate. ]. M. Afford, candidate for
district attorney spoke, and Assist
ant Attorney-General Frank John
son, who is a candidate for attorney
general, also addressed the crowd in
the interest of his candidacy.
The candidates after making their
addresses here drove in automobiles
to the Union Consolidated School
house, where another big picnic was
in progress, and made addresses to
the people in that community.
From the trend Of the addresses
made by the legislative candidates
the Susan B. Anthony amendment to
the Federal Constitution will not be
ratified by the Mississippi Legisla-
ture if the representatives from this
county have any saysc in the matter,
as only one candidate in the field for
legislative honors in this county has
declared in favor of woman suffrage.
We all like popular girls, but not
when they are on the Marty line.
