D'ANNUNZIO: "DICTATOR OF FlUME"

Grabriele d'AnnunziO, dictator of
Fiume," surely has had long pose
under the limelight. He was popular
ly credited with a large share in
pushing Italy into the war. He made
a name for himself as an aviator. And
when he took possession of Fiume all
the world looked on in amazement.
The Fiume adventure of the fear
less d'AnnunZio has been dubbed
"Garibaldian" and as such glorified.
Judging by superficial appearances, in
fact, it bears some resemblance to the
famous expedition of 1860. But the
likeness goes no further than mere
appearances. If we compare d'Annun-
ZiO's expedition with Garibaldi's we
soon discover a capital difference be-
tween them.
The one of 1860 was prepared and
accomplished by handful of private
citizens free of military duty and
with the approval of the govern
ment.' The Fiume expedition has
been conceived and carried out by ]

SHAH OF PERSIA AND HIS JEWELS

Politics may make strange bedfel-
lows, but world wars bring stranger
visitors. Ahmed Mira, the young
shah of Persia, is reported to be plan
ming a visit to the United States. If
he comes and brings with him even a
part of his $200,000,O00 collection of
jewels his visit will be strenuous.
The shah's crown is of solid gold
thickly studded with gems. 1t is said
to weigh more than ten pounds.

years old. According to tradition, it
once adorned the turban of Saladin,

To replace his heavy, ponderous
crown the shah has, for state occa-

WOMEN AND AMERICAN STABILITY

America has been accused of car
rying her individualism too far, but
had it not been for her individualism
Americas democracy would have
been shattered" says Mrs. Thomas G..
Winter of st. Paul, prominent candi-
date for the presidency of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs. "Be-
cause of institutionalism, Germany be-
came the most autocratic government
on earth and America must exact
eternal vigilance lest fnstitutionalism
seize our educational system and we
suffer the same fate as Germany.
'The spotlight of war has defined
our failures and recognized our vir-
tues. America, to Europe, formerly
meant the grasper of mean dollars,
but throughout the world war Europe
learned to define America in terms of
generosity, for what nation has opened
her purse strings to suffering humanity

little change in the basis grade mid ding, but several markets revisee8 8nlt- ferences and materially increased the af lowances on lower grades. This should have an equalizing effect on futures and attract forward demand by the trade to the discount months, May and July. Ad- vices from New York and Liverpool, are to the effect that there is more trade calling for May futures. While spots are yet mostly reduced on very small sales showing that the supply is still well. held it is felt nevertheless that unless this tie-up of freight rates is broken soon, spot pressure may increase, Liverpool was about as due. Our mar ket opened unchanged to 15 hgher,a but selling predomnated and caused quick decline of SO points. The census gin nings being so much larger than ex- pected, coming in on an already timid and unsupported market, was the cause for further weakness.
 There is no lack of signs that opinion is more inclined to think the price of the discount positions low enough, but the uncertainty of export conditions holds support in suspense and there is also the belief that constructive enterprise is delayed by the consideration not to stim- ulate excessive increase n acreage.-J.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 3-New low levels for the season were forced in, the cotton market today by extremely heavy selling which appeared soon after the opening. The pressure continued to the close necessitating the application of the war rule limiting fluctua tions in any one session to 200 points on the January po- siton. At the lowest levels other months were 1S5 to TO points under yesterdays 5 close, March dropping to 22.50c and Oc- tCber to 17.95c.
 Closing prices showed net losses of 13l to TO points.
 Or the opening the old crop months were to 20 points up on realizing from the short side, but the improvement did not last long. Selling was encouraged partly by the larger ginning returns than expected, 291, 900 bales for this last period against only 136,00O the same period last year, but appeared to be mainly the ex- pression of increasing bearish sentiment and the growing confidence of bearish operators. l Spots refused to follow the decline in
 | the contract market and were quoted un-
 changed at 27.50c. January the spot
 month, traded down to 242Oc, which was
 200 points under the highest price of the
 day and 1884 points under the closing quo
 | ts tion of yesterday.

MARCH COTTON GOES DOWN 200 POINTS
Seems to Be Strange Manip- ulatiOn, as World Is Short Millions of
 Bales
By Associated Press


 New York, January 23.-There was renewal of general selling in the cotton market today and a further sensational break in prices, with March contracts selling off from 2S56c to 2156c, making the full 200-point fluctuation permitted for any one day under prevailing regula tons. Closing prices were at approxi- mately the lowest point of the day with the tone weak at net loss of l20 to 196 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad vance of points to decline of points or fairly steady cables, Liverpool buy ing orders and a little scattered demand which had been attracted by yesterdays report of an increasing trade interest. These orders were quickly supplied, how ever, and the market became very weak under more or less general offerings. Re- ports of unsettled labor conditions at home and abroad and of unsatisfactory general trade situation, appeared to in- crease the confidence of sellers and stop orders were uncovered on a scale down.
 There were spurts of covering which caused slight rallies from time to time during the day, but otherwise there ap- peared to be very little demand and the lowest levels were reached just before the close with January selling at 22.6lc and May at 2o.40c, and with old crop months generally showing net losses of 175 to l96 points, while October sold at 1S.25c or 120 points net lower.
 Reports of threatening labor troubles in England were mentioned in connection with bearish sentiment locally, but Liver pool was a prominent buyer here which some thought might be due to an inn proved trade in Manchester. Apprehen- sicns of labor troubles in domestic mills circles growing out of the eight-hour day agitation were considered a factor on the decline.
 The census report showing 11,0o1,1i5 bales gnned to January 16, against 1O,- 57o,733 last year was not considered factor.

FARMERS REFUSE ID
 ACCEPT BEARS VIEW
Oats Were About Balanced, While Packers Were Buy ing Provisions Freely
 at Chicago
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 23.-Notwithstanding that under heavy liquidation and specu- lative selling today, all deliveries of corn except January touched the lowest prices this season the market rallied owing largely to refusal of fapners and packers to accept bearish views. The market closed nervous 3sc net lower to Ac ai- vance with February s1.2914 to sl.291a and May s1.2S1s to $l.23ss. Oats finished Ac off to Sc up and provisions varied from soc decline to rise of 1Oc.
 An avalanche of selling orders struck the corn market in the first hour, ap- parently influenced by talk that corn prices had to be judged in relation to world industrial and economic condi- tionS.
 The fact that there had already been drop of 2Oc in the last two weeks seemed to be ignored, but when the sea- sons lowest price record had been smashed sentiment changed. Shorts rushed to snatch profits-forcing a series of upturns Meanwhile scantiness of country offerings were taken to indi- cate that rural holders were defiant.
 Oats, with corn, touched new low levels for the season. Packers bought provi- sions freely.

Coffee Market

New York, January 23.-The market for coffee futures was quiet but lower today under scattered selling. which seemed to come partly from houses with Wall street and cotton exchange connections.

Later there were slight rallies on covering with the market closing at net decline of to 10 points Closing bids: May, 13.55c; July, B. 4oc; September, 13.25c; October, l32oc; December, 13 10c; January. 1305c

SECURITIES MARKET
 IN DOUBTFUL STATE
Weekly Statement of the Bank of England Was Interesting as to Gold
 Holdings
By Associated Press

New York, January 23.-Among traders and speculators on the stock exchange today a more hopeful sentiment pre- vailed, although there was increasing realization that the course of the securi- ties market is largely dependent upon impending industrial and monetary con- ditions.
 The tense foreign labor situation found an echo in affairs at home, especially as affecting the textile trade, but the trend of money offered hope of further relaxation of rates for time funds.
 Details of the new British loan an- nounced by the fiscal agent of that gov ernment here have already been dis counted by the formation of a powerful banking syndicate to underwrite that offering.
 The weekly statement of the Bank of England was interesting in that 1t re- corded the first large contraction of gold holdings by that institution in many months, offset, however. py increased liability reserves.
 The stock market scarcely warranted detailed comment, apart from the actlvi- ty and strength of rails after their re- cent reaction.
 Extreme gains in that group ran from T to points. St. Paul, pfd. leading, pu' selling off at the close. Shippings. especially Marine pfd., also feathers and some of the inactive fooo specialties, including California PacK- ing, were unusually prominent and strong in the final hour, when rails, oils anc steels were inclined to forfeit much ol their advance, United States Steel show ing small net loss.
 Bonds were irregular, but rails made up part of their recent losses on the strength of stocks. Liberty issues eased siigntiy and foreign bonds continued to harden. Total sales, par value, aggregated $u' 325 900.
 Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were. 31Hs. s9s.54; first convertible fs, ssa.so; second As. sssa0; first convertible 4As, ss560: second convertible 4A S. ss47s: third 4A's. ss5. fourth 4A's, ss4.0'
