ported in advices to Miriam Sevasly, repre-
sentative of the Armenian national delega-
ton at Washington, D. G. Until recently

declared to be more vicious than those here
tofore. The brigands, heavily armed and
aided by the Young Turk organization, &C

six villages in one day, drove away all the
oxen and killed many Armenians. They
went to other places, killing and robbing.
A Serbian division, 10000 strong and COM
posed of picked men, has been concentrated
at Spalato, on the Dalmatian coast, ready to
oppose Gabrielle d Annunzio if he approaches
that city, according to information reaching
Rear Admiral Andrews, commander of the
American forces in the Adriatic. Since
d'AnnunZio's cara expedition no incident has
occurred at any place on the coast, according
to the report. The American commander
aboard the cruiser Pittsburg is in constant
communication with all points along the Dali
matan coast. Gabrielle d'Annunzo is pre-
pairing for the occupation of the whole of
Dalmata, according to Belgrade dispatches.

have sent delegation to Belgrade to request
energetic measures against d'Annunzio's
projects The Jugoslav population of lara
are in revolt. Many fled when the Italians
| entered.
Viscount Uchida, the foreign minister, Will
| be appointed japanese ambassador to Great
| Britain and H. Ijuin, at present ambassador
| to Italy, will take the portfolio OF foreign
| affairs, according to a statement made by
| the "Yosuri," of Toxic. The newspaper says
in connection with the change that Japan
has decided not to establish an international
| concession at Tsing-tao, as suggested by Wis
| count Uchida in September, but will main
tain an exclusively Japanese concession
| there.

| Viscount Chinda and handle the important
questions embraced in renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance and the inauguration of the
| League of Nations.

Official notice has been given in Dublin,
Ireland, that no more prisoners will be lib
Grated conditionally or Internationally, tor
hunger striking and that hunger strikers must
| be responsible for the consequences of their
acts 1t was also announced that there would
be no further amelioration of the prison treat
ment given to any convicted under the De-
Tense of the Realm act.
This notice is regarded very seriously IN
Irish political circles. 1t is expected that nun
ger strikes will become numerous and that
deaths of prisoners will follow. The effect
on Irish feeling now awaiting the production
of the Home Rule bill, will be grave, it is said,
and will revive the bitterness evoked by the
death of Thomas AShe in May, 1916, as the
result of hunger strike
