English Interested In Americas Experiment
 With Prohibition

London, Aug. 25-(Correspond- ence of the Associated PressD- Britons are deeply interested In what is called the American prohl- biton experiment." and every publish ed statement concerning the sltua- tion and the attitude of the American public toward the new order Is eager ly read.
 The latest addition to such contrl- buttons is by the Archdeacon of War rington, Canon Howson, who has just returned from New York, and who unoualifiedly endorsed the law His impressions, concisely stated, are as follows:
 Prohibition has come to stay Ill the states. Those most opposed to it accept the inevitable. Those who have paved the way for it are fac ing law enforcement. A very large majority, to judge by hearsay and eyesight, agree that it IS the best thing for America The threats of mo beer. no work and riot and revo- lution' are empty vaporings, and the work of the states and cities Is gong on unimpaired. Smuggling of liquor will go on for time, but by January the EOVeEIlIuSIIt WILL udNS ohS 'AoN.t' tion well in hand Prosperity is the result. Instead of saloons at the cor ners of the streets, banks are appear ing. Happiness in the home, hither- to unknown, has appeared on every hand and children and young people are having their opportunity.
 "A dry America will be terrific rival to countries which are wet" says the Archdeacon. "All business men had better recognize this if they have not already done so. Dryness does not kill joy. I voyaged on dry ship and wet one, and the eX- perience was Illuminating. l have realized the marvellous power of whole e-hearted enthusiastic organlza- tion as never before.
 "America," added the Archdeacon, "has no desire to thrust herself or her views on Great Britain. She has discovered a good thing. She only wants to tell the good news and if in any way she can help progress, she is there to render that help."

Stamp Album Grows'i
 In Interest Among
 New Eur0pe's People

Copenhagen, Aug. 24.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press)- Items of historical interest are being added almost daily to the story of New Europe as told serially on the pages of the stamp album.
 Poland's newest contribution to this record is series of six postage stamps, commemorative of the con- vocation of the national diet. Among them is the first stamp portrait of Iganance Paderewski as president of the Polish republic.
 The Lettish government has issued three stamps marking the delivery of Riga from the boleshvists. They portray two figures, presumably rep- resenting Riga and Lettonia, embrac- ing before the walls of city.
 The seventh centenary of the union of Esthonia with Denmark accounts for the issuance of $500 specimen stamps, of restricted validity, in the republic of Esthonia. They were on sale for three days only. Because of the adoption of a new currency unit in the republic, new stamps are being prepared for distribution and sale.
 "German Austria" the residue of the former Austrian empire, has is- sued stamps of distinctive design from the state printery at Vienna. President Masaryk's portrait is to appear on a new issue in preparation in Czecho- -Slovakia. Serbia Croatia, Slavonia, the Rumanian postal agency in Constantinople and Ar menia have all contributed to this pictorial stamp album record of the recent march of world events.

Many Events For
 Motor Boat Meeting

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 11.-An event for displacement boats will be added to the program of the annual regatta of the American power boat associa- tion in future years, if the sugges- tion of Albert l.. Judson, president of the association, is followed. 1t is be- lieved this will be the means of at tracting countrywide interests in the meetings.
 President Judson, unable to attend September 1, because of an eye afflic- tion, has informed officials of the as- sociation that Carl F. Fisher of h. dianapolis has offered $5,000 trophy for displacement races. President Judson suggests, therefore, that the displacement race be given a place in the annual regatta, holding that the hydroplanes which compete in the gold cup number are merely racing machines and that recognition should be given boats of practical use. Such plan has already been discussed, in fact, by association officers.
 MT. Judson, announcing that the first meeting for the Fisher cup would be held at Lake George N. Y., under the auspices of the Lake George Regatta association suggested that the event be coupled with the annual gold cup races and one-mile event for hydroplanes there next year and that similar arrangement be made for the regatta at Detroit in 1921. The association head proposes a carnival week of aquatic racing "the like of which the world has probably never seen" next year at Lake George and the following season here

West Virginia Gas
 Is Nearly Exhausted

Toledo, O., Sept. 11.-Gas compan- ies of eastern. northern and north western Ohio have sent out a warn ing from the West Virginia field that the gas supply in that district may be exhausted after 1921. The effect in this district would be felt heavily, it is pointed out, as thousands of fami- lies depend upon gas for their cook ing and heating. In addition to the domestic consumers who would have to resort to other fuels, several of the leading industries would be paralyzed at least temporarily.

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 11.-Re- ports of rioting and disturbances in Torreoh Monday, accounts of. which appeared in local Mexican news papers here today, were declared to be of no significance by both Car ranza and Villa partisans here. The reports, Mexican politicians of both factions say. are probably an exag- gerated account of political de- monstration.

ROME, Sept. 10 (delayed) -Signor
Tittoni, the italian Foreign Minister,
who returned here yesterday from Paris
after long conference with King Victor
Emmanuel and Premier Nitti, left to-day
for his estate in the country for a rest.
Ell Epocd, in commenting on the sit

acceptable to Gabrielle d'Annunzio. This
newspaper hints that the adjournment Of
the Chamber of Deputies was intended
to retard the resignation of the Cabinet.
The Cor1iere dItdlid expresses the
opinion that at the last sitting of the
Chamber, in which Premier Nitti's pro-
posal to adjourn the sitting was accepted
by a large majority Notwithstanding
the strong efforts of the opposition,
showed how strong the Cabinet is.
Admiral Cagni, commander of the
naval department at Trieste, has been
called to Rome and has had a long in

Lloyd Georges Reconstruc-
ton Plan Outlined in Paper.

LONDON, Sept. 21.--In a forecast OF
the coming reconstruction Of the Mini
istry," the Sunday Times says that Pre-
mier Lloyd George has decided to offer
another olive branch to Ireland, rec
ognizing, as does Bonar Law, that reso-
Lutte government has been carried to the
furthest extent possible and that Ireland
cannot Indefinitely be kept under mill

The correspondent, commenting on
the fact that James Ian Macpherson,
Chief Secretary for Ireland. did not
accompany Viscouht French, Lord
Lieutenant and Governor-General of
Ireland, on his visit to London for the
week end to discuss the situation, says
there is suspicion that the indispo-
sition which is given as the reason for
his absence may be the prelude to Mac
pherson's resignation.
He (Macpherson) has so identified
himself with the policy of strong re-
pression," the correspondent says in
this connection, that any reversion to

The Sunday Times says the Premier
has sounded certain labor leaders on the
subject of cooperation, but they have
definitely declined. Hence, 1t adds. the
Ministerial changes probably will be
few. Viscount Rothermere, who is a
jealous economist, according to the
Times, will probably be appointed Sec
'retary for. War. while Coll Winston
Spencer Churchill, the present Secretary
for War, will go to the Colonial Office,
as Viscount Miner, who holds that
office, is anxious to retire.
1t Is pointed out by the Sunday Times
that the only difficulty attached to the re-
turn of Viscount Rothermere to the
Ministry is his antagonism to Mr..
Bonar Law. but. the newspaper says,
the Premier will find a formula enab-

D'ANNUNZIO FIRES
MEN WITH GRAFTON
Continued rom First poOe.

For myself, I shall not leave here alive,
nor shall / leave here when l am dead,
as shall be buried here to become one
with this sacred soil.
Every day in all parts OF the world
the warmest messages rain upon you.
Even American citizens ask TO come here
to perform even the humble services.
The beauty of our cause touches all

firmly planted on solid feet, will repeat,
with head uplifted, the Roman saying,
the motto of the legionaries, Here

Despite the close investment of Fiums

several officers, including Gen. Maggiotto,

latter harangued the newcomers, who sa-

Two British ships and one American
vessel are still anchored at the Danubius
dockyard, considerable distance from
the city.
A landowner OF Ortona, near D'Annun-

The Temps, commenting on the Bull

has been left surrounded by bayonets on
three sides, on the fourth side, namely,
Thrace, the way has been left open for
her to join hands with the Turks simply
because nobody has been assigned to
guard this barrier.

IL the League Of Nations is to be

the Allies will not discuss these ques-
tons with us and respect our rights of
indepen fence and honor in the matter of
territories strictly Turkish. As for the
non-Moslem territories. how can they be
deprived much longer of the protection
they require. both in the material and
spiritual domains?"-
Speaking Of the conditions in Ana
tolia, he said: Contrary to the terms
of the armistice, we have seen our ter
gers who have never declared war
upon us. The name of Smyrna is writ
ten in our hearts as an injury and a
menace which have provoked violent re-
sentiment in our subjects.
But factious disputes should not be
allowed to tarnish the saintliness of our
cause. We hope to keep our subjects
in an obedient attitude, but nevertheless
to defend their independence. 1t is ac-
tion by the Peace Conference that we
await anxiously and we hope, in this
connection that our negotiators will be
summoned soon to Paris. What we fear
Is that decisions will be arrived at with
out our voice being heard.
Here we are condemned to silence,
but it should be recognized by the Allies
that Turkey, which exists and stands
ready to make reparations for its faults,
has every right to be heard. France and
Great Britain have given great help to
Turkey in the past and we hope to OBJ
tain their aid to-day, and also the asss-
lance of the great American republic,
despite the limitations imposed by the

for l-he further reason that signor Tit

sions over the events at Fiume have
subsidized.
Ell Epochd says the Govrnment hopes
meanwhile that President Wilson's an
swer on the scheme Submitted with ref
erence TO Flume will be received en-
abling Signor Tittoni to speak in definite
terms.
The Tribune Announces to-day that a
person returning from Fiume stated that
Gen. Badoglio, in charge of the Italian,
troops outside Fiume, had granted a de-
lay OF forty-eight hours to officers an ]
soldiers In Fiume to return to Italy.
1t was added that the population of
Fiume had decided to make an unfnis-
taxable demonstration OF their feelings
at the expiration Of this uitimatum Sat-
urday. Women and children and men
OF the civil population were to precede
the troops to the armistice line, shield
Ing the troops with their bodies in order
to see whether Gen. Badoglios soldiers
would fire on them.
IL was added that D'Annunzio had
ordered the sentinels on the Juko-Slay
frontier not to make use of their arms
even u the Jugo-Slavs fred on them,
saying \
"Allow yourselves to be KILLED. We
are here for this, since our sacrifice may
lead 70 the occupation OF all of Dali

The Tribune says it's informant added
that some French and British sailors
had remained in Fiume and Joined the
Italian movement.
The GiorndIe -dTtdlid suggests that
the Italian Red Cross despatch to
Flume supplies for infants, the aged and
hospitals. as, contrary to what ordinar-
lily happens in the case of besieged
cities, even the non-combatants in Fiume
refuse to leave.
