CONFERENCE RECENTLY HELD BETWEEN COMMUNISTS FROM ITALY, GERMANY AND AUSTRIA TO PLAN A REVOLUTION IN THE FORMER PLACE
To Start by the
 Middle of July
REVOLUTION IS PLAN NED TO OCCUR ABOUT MIDDLE OF JULY AND IS SAID TO HAVE MANY SUPPORTERS AMONG THE ITALIAN SOCIALISTS.

COPENHAGEN, June 27.-R)-Re- ports received here from Vienna tell of a threatened revolution in Italy un. der the direction of the communists. The despatches say the revolution is scheduled to take place about the middle of next month. outbreaks oc- curing simultaneously in various parts of the country.
 According to the Vienna reports. communists from Italy, Germany and Austria recently held a conference in southern Tyrol for the purpose of making preparations for the revolu- tion. It is alleged all the plans are now made and the communists are but waiting the set date before the disorders will commence.
 Knowing that a portion of the Ital- ian population is dissatisfied with the present government, it is said the Austrian and German communists i'm mediately set about to promote the revolution. Their proposal that the uprising be staged met with the ap- proval of the Italians, says the des- patches, and unless the Italian gov ernment takes steps to prevent the revolution, conditions in that country are liable to be serious.

Occasion Was Quietly Observed Here
In Comparison With The Big Cele-
bration OF Last Nov. 18th.

Greenwood celebrated the first an
~niversary Of the signing Of the ar
mistice in the world war, very quietly
today in comparison to the street
scenes of wild rejoicing which took
place in this city on last November
18th. None of the business houses
were closed today and few persons
took a holiday.
The quiet observation today, recall
ed to the minds of the citizens the
celebration of this great event a year
ago. The message reached the city
before daylight that the armistice
had been signed and the news was
heralded by the blowing Of the whis-
ties and the ringing of bells.
Later in the day, citizens came from
all parts Of Leflore to join in making
the occasion one of complete rejoic-
ing. A mammoth parade was formed
at noon and thousands of persons
participated in the festivities. Bands
played, school children rendered carol.
on the streets and at the evening time
a fitting closing of the day cam,
when a service was held at the Baptis
Church when the citizens joined to
gether in Thanksgiving for the closin,
of the great conflict.

RECORD NUMBER
DIVORCE CASES
Furnished BY England and Wales
Since Beginning of the War.
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. England and
Wales have furnished a record num-
Der of cases for the new term of the
Divorce Court in October. There were
about 1000 cases, or more than dou-
BILE the total for any previous list.
About half these were brought by
people of small means, who took ad-
vantage of the facilities offered bJ
the official bureau which has been es-
tablished since the war began to as
sist the poor people in obtaining relief
in the Divorce Court without going to
the heavy expense which the ordin-
airy procedure involves.
There has been a steady increase
in the number of divorce cases in this
cour try since the beginning of the
war and the problem has been re-
ce'ving much public attention. The
parties have grown up, one favoring
more liberal divorce laws, n the
other decrying the growing number
Of separations of this kind. AS to the
cause of the increase there is a di-
vergence of opinion.
Official records show that a large
number of soldiers on returning from
the war have instituted suits against
their wives on the ground of infidel-
ity. The claim frequently has been
made hat the war has resulted in a
decided lowering of moral standards
This is denied emphatically by D.
Figur, of a firm of solicitors, who
have more than a hundred divorce
cases coming up in the next term, and
who are handling about one thousand
in various stages.
'The increase in the number of di-
vorces is certainly due to the war;
said Mr.. Figur to a representative OF
The Associated Press, "but it is alb.
solutely wrong to say that there has
been a great slump in English morals
Undoubtedly there have been many
cases of infidelity due to separations
incident to the war, but this is not
the main factor in the increase.
The reason we are getting more

pendence, and has taught them to
think. Women have learned hat they
have an individuality and that they
ear look after themselves. The men,
too, have come to take a broader
view of life.
sine fact is that there would have
been just as many divorces before the
war if people had not been shackled
by lack of initiative and by fear OF
challenging the conventions of socie-
ty. The desire for divorce was there
but instead of taking action people
went on in the old unhappy state
Now, after over four years of sep.
aration, many couples have come tt
a realization that they can be hap.
pier apart. That is the situation il
a nutshell"

Some Facts AS To
SeWanee Endowment

General Leonard Wood, who is
Chairman of the General Committee,
in a recent letter to a member of the
Greenwood Parish, says:
1T is highly encouraging to note
the increased interest that the Church
throughout the South is showing in
the University on the Mountain. We
have had to meet a condition of gen.
eral apathy due to the fact that the
average Churchman knew but little
Of Sewanee. He did not realize that
she was the direct responsibility of
the Church and that as such she was
his responsibility. Neither did he
realize that Sewanee was one of the
most important units in the life of the
Church. What the Church needs to
day more than anything else is lead
ers, both clerical and lay, and it is
these that Sewanee produces. I think
he leading churchmen everywhere are
coming to feel that the Sewanee Cam
paign must be made a complete sue
cess; that it will never do for the
Episcopal church to remain idle while
churches of other faith beautifully en-
dow institutions of learning"
1t is important that our quota be
set in this week in order to stop the
expense of office rem and stenograph-
ers at Jackson headquarters.
MI. G. A. Wilson,, Jr., is the Chair
man for this parish, and all payments
should be made to him. He will also
furnish you with Pledge Cards show
ing the terms of payments, and will
give you any other information you
may desire.
MI. Wilson will be glad to receive
contributions from any one who feels
interested in Sewanee, for though
owned and controlled by the Episco-
pal Church, 60 per cent Of her stu
dents are from other denominations.
MI. Wilson hopes hat the people
Of the Parish will realize the import
ance of this endowment and see him
as early as possible as he is very
busy at present and cannot see them
all in person.

Booklet Tells Objects
A booklet distributed at the meeting
yesterday gave the following reasons
for federating":
"1n this period Of reconstruction,
in the common thinking, it has been a
cause Of deep concern to many that
there is no adequate organization Of the
business and professional women in
this country.
at is estimated that there are now
between twelve and thirteen million
wage earning women in the United
States. 1t Is beyond the human mind
to conceive the dynamic force that
could be liberated . by the union,
a full sense of solidarity, of even
large part of this group of keen, think
ing women. Such group could, first
of all, make secure its position in the
business world. 1t could set standards
Of better working conditions and could
help the younger women to better po-
sitions and to fill more satisfactorily
those positions which they now hold.
Both Sides Benefited
THUS, both employer and employe
could be benefited. Tremendous forces
could also, through such a national or
ganization Of business and professional
women, be brought to bear for or
against proposed social legislation"
Miss Mary Johns Hopper, organizer
for the New York district, said the
federation will be entirely non-politi-
cal, except on the question Of obtaining
corrective legislation.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Jean Norris, president of the Ma
tional Woman Lawyers Association.
Mrs. Harry Lille, president of the New
York Federation of Women's Clubs,
greeted the delegates.
Officers for the New York State
branch were elected at the evening
session. Miss Parker was chosen pres
ident and Miss Zachart, of Rochester,

and Dr.. Josephine Baker were selected
to represent the state at the national
convention.
