of Capt. Gabrielle D'Annunzia. who
last week entered Fiume at the head
of a strong force of irregular" troops
and has since that time been receiving
reinforcements, according to advlces
from Rome.

conference, under the jurisdiction OF
which Fiume stands has decided to
allow Italy to deal with the serious
situation that has arisen in that city,
deeming it a purely internal matter.
According to reports from F1ume.
American detachments which have
been in Fiume have gone on ship
board while British and French troops
have been confined to their barracks,
probably to forestall clash with the
D'Annunzio forces.
BadogIio Arrives.
General Badoglio. deputy chief OF
staff of the Italian army, has arrived
at Fiume. and has issued a proclama
ton to the D'Annunzio soldiers to re
turn to their respective units, but
there Is nothing to indicate his advice
will be followed.
Captain D'Annunzio, according to
a Belgrade dispatch, has proclaimed a
union Of Fiume and Italy, the message
adding that anarchy reigns in the
city and that allied flags have been
torn down.

JAPAN ASKED TO
NAME DATE FOR
RETURN OF KIA0
y. S. Asks Japanese Govern
ment for Date of Return of
Province to China.
(By Associated Pressl

HONOLULU, Sept. 16.-The United
States has asked the Japanese govern
ment to fix a definite date for the re-
turn of kiao Chau to China, according
to cable advices received here today
by the Nippu Jill, Japanese daily
newspaper. The cable added that the
Japanese government had not answer
ed the communication.
WASHINGTON SILENT.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-Officials
here, in the absence of President Will
son and Secretary Lansing, will not
comment upon the report that the
United States has asked Japan to set
a definite date for the return OF Kiao
Ohau to China. The general impress
sion in official circles is that the re-
port is we'll founded.
Japan'S answer to such request by
the government would have an import
ant bearing on the senate's consider
alton of the peace treaty, as one of
the objections to it on which opposi-
tion is being centered is the Shantung
provision.
Administration supporters of the
treaty feel that a definite announce
ment by Japan setting a date for the
return of Kiao Chau would go far to
remove that point.
Various Japanese officials have
stated that Kiao Chau would be return
ed but a time never was set.

New York, Sept. 18-The Interna- tiOnal officers of the printing trades unions are unalterably opposed to any radical action toward a general strike in the book and job offices of New York Oct. 1. It was unofficially announced yesterday that the Board of Governors of the National Printing Trades Unions, the printing depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, will declare its position today,
 Three members of this body, Marsden G. Scott, president Of the International Typographical Union; James J. Freel, International presi- dent of the electrotypers and stereO- typers, and William J. Reddick of the bookbinders, arrived in this city yes
 terday and joined Major George L. Berry, International president of the pressmen. Matthew Wou, chief of the photo-engraver union and a vice president of the American Federation of Labor. is expected this morning.
 After WoII arrives 1t is expected a joint statement will be issued declar-
 ing the international unions to be op-
 posed to any radical action by local
 groups that tends to unstabilize the industry and plunge the membership of the unions into a bitter contest | The answer to questions of wages. hours or working conditions, they are expected to declare, must be sought
 in arbitration or conciliatIon before resorting to strike.
 The statement, said one familiar with the plans of the International officers last night, will be sane and constructive and it will have sharp teeth. No radical group, careless of consequences and defiant of sound union principles, will be allowed to wreck things
 From this statement men familiar with union practices said last night it was apparent that the strike sane ton which the rules of the Interna- tional Typographical union, as well as the other great unions insist upon before members of their local unions quit work, will not be granted until
 1t is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the International officers that ev-
 cry peaceable method had been tried and abandoned.

BIGAMY CASES CAUSE ALARM IN
 SREkT BRIT AIN

London, Sept IS. - Correspond ence of The Associated Press)-- Increase in bigamous marriages throughout the United Kingdom, much more pronounced since the end of the war, is causing grave concern, and there is a growing disposition to treat bigamy as venial offence.
 Sir Bernard MaIlett, the registrar general, is credited with the state ment that English marriage laws af- ford less security against bigamy than the Jaws of almost any other civil ized state. His department has pre- pared proposals for their amendment, but nothing has been done to carry them into effect A new act of Par liament is necessary, and Sir Ser nard suggests as a preliminary that some plan be outlined by which ac- curate information concerning the principals in a proposed marriage may be obtained by the competent authorities before the ceremony can be performed.
 For marriage by license in England it is required that both parties make solemn declaration that they know of no impediment to their union, that they have resided for fifteen days in the district, and, if they are minors, the consent of guardian or parents has been obtained. But no solemn declaration is required for such ma terial particulars are name, conditions as to marriage, age, rank and resi- dence.

NEVADA CHURCH WILL TRAVEL 50
 MILES BY AUTO

Taking a church on 6O-mile mo- tor ride is the plan of a Nevada bishop. And the nationwide cam paign of the Episcopal church has been asked to pay the fare.
 The church stands in GolcOnda. Once it was a useful church, filled St every service. Now it is an idle church, falling into complete disuse. Family by family, the people who used to come to it each Sunday have gone. until now the Episcopalian population has vanished.
 Sixty miles from GoIconda is the town of Midas, named after the fabled king whose touch turned everything to gold. Midas is rich in opportunity for the work of the Episcopal church, but poor, in that it has no such church.
 These are the conditions revealed by Bishop George C. Hunting of the Episcopal Missionary Diocese of Ne vada, in his survey of the needs of his diocese.
 Bishop Hunting believes that the church should follow the population, that 1t should find the place where
 it is most needed. But he believes as
 well that the business of the church should be done with conservation and efficiency. So he did not let the old
 church in Golconda crumble and rot
 from lack of use while he figured on the cost of a new church for Midas. Instead he obtained estimates for taking down the Golconda church in sections.
 Then in his survey he suggested that the Episcopal church give the church at Golconda a ride on a motor truck, 50 miles overland to Midas and set it down there.

LAEVLESSNESS OF SOLDIERS NOT TO
 BE CONDONED

Colonel B. P. Nicklin. Chief of the General Recruiting Service, this dis trict, has authorized Sergt O'Brien of the local Army Recruiting Station to submit the following article from the Office of the Chief of Staff, The Good Name of the Military Service" The good name of the military service should not suffer unjustly by reason of the occasional lawless acts of men in uniform.
 Tt is the desire of the War Depart ment that the civil authorities treat any lawlessness by a man in uniform as though the act were committed by any other citizen If a man arrested turns out to be still in service, he should, wherever practicable, be turned over to the military authori- ties. In all other cases. the civil au- thorities only have Jurisdiction
 There are in the United States less than 100000 men in military service, and over three million who have been discharged. The former are in camps and garrisons. The latter are in all parts of the country. and many hum dreds of thousands of them are still wearing their uniforms or parts thereof. The records show that very few of the acts complained of have been committed by men still in th- army.
