 The light thrown down from the screen is said to show colors al- most as we'll as in full daylight. Under the new light delicate vel lows were quite distinct, indigo blues were blue, cobalts had their full value, and violets lost the

D'AnnunZiO Won't
 Accept Plebiscite

Trieste, Sunday, Dec. 21.-Not- withstanding efforts to delay or cancel the proposer plebistice in Flume on the question of accept ing the proposals of General Badoglio, the Italian chief of staff providing for the substitution of Italian regulars for the D'An- nunzio forces of occupation, the vote after all was taken and is re- ported to have gone strongly in favor of accepting the proposals. Gabrielle D'Annunzio, however, de- clined to accept the result and declared he would reserve the de- cision for himself. According to officials who had charge of the polling, the vote was 85 per cent in favor of occupation by regular Italian forces.
 In formal ccmmunique issued last night D'Annunzio announced his stand against accepting the plebiseite, declarig Irregularities had been found which he consider ed to invalidate the vote.
 According to advices from Plume Signor Pedrazzi, the head of D'Annunzio's press bureau, rendered his resignation to the poet-soldier because of the latter's failure to accept a decision of the national council to abide by the plebiscite.

SAYS !. ENGLAND PLANS ID
 FIGHT SECESSION
Premier Unable, He Says, to Outline Home Rule
 Measure

Iondofl. Dec. 1A.-1 '3liller ,ovd George addressed the house
 Lioso Commons this evening on the
 Gl Gl;sh question. The premier last meek announced his purpose of
 amresenting the commons on thls paeasion the details of the govern
 u.ont,s .. Irish home rule bill.
 li'f, The premier said that Parlia-
 ont M must get the fact right in- fo ' it's mind that in the existing
 ..v;,c,,mstances ~ no possible scheme enn Irish home rule was univer-
 ioi iol1v acceptable. Therefore, he
 sa,'f ssonf;nued, Parliament must as-
 evn,e ov the responsibility and pro-
 nose s what it thinks fair and just.
 p'1v 4 settlement would be found not ;n the enactment of a home rule
 scbeme. but in it's working. ireland, said the premier, was
 +be only country in Europe ex- oent o1 Russia where the classes who o1eewhere were on the side of law
 and order, were out of sympathy a;th 1 the machinery of the govern
 ment While Ireland was never
 so prosperous as today, the fact yyemained, he declared, that Ire
 lond was never so alienated from
 British rule as she is today.
 Any attempt at secession, the
 nrenier announced, would be
 fo1ght with the same determina-
 lion force and resolution as had
 been shown by the northern
 states in America.
 Comment in this mornings
 newspapers reveals general hope
 lessness regarding any improve ment in the situation as being like W to result. Much interest is evidenced, but the outlines of the home rule bill are quite well known, and nobody expects the governments proposals to be ac- cepted by the bulk of the Irish peo- pie.
 It is stated Sir Edward Carson and his followers will accept the plan for a separate Parliament for Ulster, but this is likely to antagonize, rather than reconcile the rest of Ireland. / ]
 It is conceded, even by oppon- ents of the government, that the attempt against the life of Vis- count French lord-lieutenant of Ireland, on Friday, will not affect the governments attitude, but it is said that this will not be coun- ted as generosity by the enemies of the Irish peoples.
 Altho precautions have been taken to prevent possible anti government demonstrations in Parliament, they do not extend so! far as to exclude applicants for tickets from the public galleries. It4is understood by the Mirror that very large number of Irish Nen have asker labor members for Gckets, which, the newspaper Says. have been issued on some- what generous scale, but it is as- sumed persons thus admitted are not actuated by a desire to make trouble as there is an implied obligation on the part of the per son issuing ticket for the be- havior of it's possessor. Labor themselves, according toI the Herald. the Laborite organ. have no interest in the premier's statement, Knowing what he isl going to say and having formed opinions"
