Say Italy Will Not Gain All.

1t is not inferred that the kingdom
of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes win be
granted every claim made by it 1t is
realized that a part of this disputed
area will be conceded to Italy. but not
in proportion to what the latter orig
inally claimed.
Regret is expressed by Jugoslav
representatives in Washington that
there has been such an evidence Of
dissolution between their country and
Italy over the question OF eastern
Adriatic territory, and following the
receipt Of the information contained
in these late advices from Paris they
feel confident that there will be no
future disturbances
Obtaining a fair portion OF this
Adriatic territory. is of far greater
importance and real value to their
country. these representatives say.
than would be the northern and west
tern portion of Albania.
Although of the belief That there
will be no further serious friction in
the Adriatic area these representa-
tives are disposed to feel apprehen-
sive Of impending trouble with Bull
garians and Albs -'ans. 1t is known
that tribes or b. ads in these two
countries have been stirred to a point
where it is feared they will attempt
to prove troublesome to the Jugoslavs.

SEE FINAL SUCCESS
FOR NEW KINGDOM
Serbs, Croats and SIovenes
Expect Conference viii
Grant Adriatic Claims.

Representatives OF the newly formed
kingdom OF Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
at the peace conference are now OF
the opinion that the final settlement
of the eastern Adriatic territory ques-
ton will be highly favorable to this
young nation.
Cable-advices received in Washing
ton today from these representatives
indicate that the justice of their
claims regarding the disposition Of
Fiume and Dalmatia has made pro-
found and favorable impression on a
majority of the otf7er-nations in at
tendance at the conference.
According to these advices there Is
every reason for the Jugoslavs to feel
Ionfident OF the outcome OF dispute
over the settlement of this territory
question. 1t is pointed out that while
the Jugoslav representatives never
have doubted the good will or sincerity
of the intentions of the other nations
In passing judgment on their claims.
recent developments cause them to be
especially sanguine. They report that
the other nations have expressed them
selves as not having the slightest
doubt of the justice OF their claims.

$500 NOW TABULAT|NG
INCOME TAX RETURNS
Number Of Payments and Total Of
Receipts Cannot Be Stated
for Several Days.

An unprecedented avalanche of mail
poured into the sixty-four collection
Offices and hundreds of suboffices OF
the bureau of internal revenue
throughout the country on Friday and
Saturday of last week. Today more
than $500 employees of the bureau in
the collection offices and subof1ces are
busy tabulating the number of income
returns received and the amount of
money which will be credited from full
or part payment on taxes
1t was stated at the internal reve-
nue. office today that It will be few
days before any information can be
made public as to the number of in
come tax payers, and the total amount
of money received.
Increase Due to High Wages.
1t was said, however. that this year
there Is a perceptible increase in the
number Of taxpayers. This fact is
attributed for the most part to the
high wages received by munition and
war workers. Especially is this ap.
plicable to Washington. where. 1t was
reported at the local collection Office
the number is far greater this yeaI
than a year ago.
The biggest gain is shown" among
the women. Thousands of them came
to this city and entered government
war council, Red Cross or other work
The great majority of the women
were said to have earned here larger
salaries than back home" and the
number receiving more than $1,000 q
year was probably in excess of those
obtaining less than that amount.
At the local office, at Sth and &
streets northwest, there we're twelve
persons. mostly men, employed in re-
ceiving returns and helping the
nearly crazed debtors to the govern
ment to make out correctly the diff
ferent items on the returns. Six ex-
perts Of the bureau were on hand al
the local office endeavoring to
straighten out the tangles.

nival of lawlessness that has been taking place in Boston.
 It is innate lawlessness, contemp- tuous disregard for the rights or others and for the sancity of human life that leads people into an orgy of rioting such as occurred in Bos- ton. When we lynch in the south we have an excuse for it; there IS for the race riots in the north and west and for the labor troubles in the west an underlying economic reason. But there is no excuse for what happened in Boston. It is a peculiar sort of people who will go out and destroy property and kill and maim purely for the excitement of it.
 Those same vigilance committees that the Boston sages have condemn ed might have done some good III Boston during the past 24 hours. A we]l-organized "mob" of men who had the peace and responsibility of their community at heart and who wanted to see the right thing done by every man could have helped Boston out of a very bad situation.

 PERSHING THE KISS7R.

"The commander made but one stop on the march and that was at St. Patrick's Cathedral to change horses. He dismounted among crowd of girls each eager to hand him flowers. Upon the cheek of the vic tor he implanted kiss"
 The above is from the story of the parade of Perishing and the first di- vision in New York Wednesday,.
 Another woman attempted to kiss the general, but he raised his hand in supplication. oh, Madam he said. Please don't. Not that.
 And this is from the story of Per shing's arrival two days before the parade.
 Evidently the general liked the looks of the lady who gave him the flowers, while the one who sought to kiss him two days. before, didn't please him. The general has been a soldier in many climes for many years and knows how to pick lem. Like many of us kissing some women comes mighty easy to the general while to stand hitched for kiss from some others requires all the courage that the engagement of St. Mihil and the Argonne demanded. And it may be argued that the general could have remained docile and smiled his best smile, regardless of what woman did the kissing. Any man who has been decorated by a French general and who has gone through the osculatory ordeal that followed, and survived the clash when pointed beard and grizzlec face touched in full view of thousand: of ironical doughboys, could stand ; kiss from a COW and not feel embar assed.

BOSTON, THE LAWLESS.

It must be painful thing for Bos- ton editors, educators and preachers who for years have looked upon the rest of the country as being wild frontier and upon it's people as being crude and cultureless, to see those rustic frontiersmen stand aghast at cultured Boston's own unprecedented lawlessness.
 Throughout the south we have had our lynchings and Boston has groaned at our "saveness;" in the middle west and north we have recently had numerous race riots and Boston has wrung her hands in despair and shuddered; out in the far west we have had our might rider" and I. w. w. disturbances and Boston has raved and ranted with the shame of living in the same world with the western CTS. Now comes Boston and goes them all one worse in the matter of lawlessness. No Southern town, no hard boiled northern manufacturing city and no western mining camp ever permitted thing to happen within it's confines such as the general car

Summer Resorts of
 State Successful

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-This has been one of the most successful seasons in the history of Arkansas for the summer resorts of the state. It seems that the proposition that Americans should see America first is being applied to Arkansas.
 Eureka Springs, Bella Vista, Hot Springs, Hardy, Armstrong Springs, and other summer resorts of the state have been crowded to their ut- most, and the citizens of Argansas are finding that there are in Ar kansas as attractive places flor a summer residence as in Colorado, California, or elsewhere.

BROUGH PARDONS MERCHANT

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-W. E. Clev- enger of Murfreesboro, Pike county, was granted a full pardon yesterday by the governor He was convicted in August, 1918, in Little River coun- ty, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, on the charge of having caused a false entry to be made by the cashier of the Farmers and Merchants bank of Murfrees- boro, involving an amount of $7O, Clevenger was a merchant of Mur- freesboro, and borrower from the bank, and while the cashier stated that this was the only false entry ever suggested to him by Clevenger, yet he had, prior to this time, made many false entries at the direction of the president of the bank.
 Governor Brough had given the pe- tition for this pardon the mpst:rare- full consideration for months. Clev- enger had always maintained his in- nounce, and upon a personal investi- gation made on the occasion of a recent visit to Murfreesboro, the gov ernor became thoroughly convinced that the pardon should be granted.

IGNORING THE PEOPLE.

F. Garland May, county superlnten" dent of schools, and Governor Brough did not give the people of Jefferson county who are the employers of the county superintendent voice in the matter of the appointment of sue cessor to May, who resigned.
 May gave the governor his resig- nation and recommended w. P. Keith at the same time. The governor then accepted Mays resignation and ap- pointed Keith, all without informing the citizens of Jefferson county. No statement that May had resigned was given out either by May or the gov ernor until after Keith had been ap- pointed.
 May made good record as county superintendent. Keith is an ideal man for the job. The Graphic be- lieves that Keith will make as good a superintendent as any man that could have been chosen for the job. We have no criticism of the man who was appointed; it was the meth , cd of his selection, to which we ob- 5 ject.
 The people should have known when May resigned. They should have known before Keith was ap- pointed that the position was going to be vacant They were not con- suited in matter that concerns them chiefly.
 The people of Jefferson county elected May to be county superinten- dent. They did not give to May the right to name his own successor in the event he resigned. That right May assumed himself and the gover. nor clinched it for him.
 When May decided to quit, he should have left the people of Jeffer, son county know. The governor should have let the people of Jeffer- son county know that the job was open and should have heard what they had to say before he made all appointment.
 Many public officials get the idea that they are not servants of the people, but that an office to which they have been elected at the polls belongs to them personally and that they can dictate control of that office for the term for which they were elected whether they serve or not This is an idea for which there is nc justification. The people elect mar to an office because of his merits When he gives up that office by serving out his term or by resigning his control over it should cease.

Tdkio, Sept. 11.-Developments in relation to the shantung ques- tion from the supreme subject of discussion here. The general at- titude of the Japanese is calmly to await the final action by the United States senate.
 Some of the members of the Diet are reported to be addressing anx- ious inquiries to the government re- garding the situation. They ask whether the United States is likely to enforce by arms possible new treaty with Germany returning Shantung directly to China. Those who have addressed the inquiries to the government are said to be pro foundly impressed by the assign ment of half the United States navy to the Pacific and to be inclined to establish a connection between the coming of the fleet and the Shan tung agitation.
 A wave of elation and confidence in Japan's future greatness seems to be sweeping over the empire In recent address, 1kuso Coke, pre- sident of the house of representa- tives, said:
 World leadership is now in Ame- rica but it is bound later to be trans ferred to Japan"
