Nea.ss From. F1iu7ae
Report to the Senate Held
Back for More Facts
on Landing by u. S.

WASHINGTON, Sept 28. The Navy
Department to-day awaited complete
cabled report Of the landing of Ameri-
can seamen at Trau, on the Dalmatian
coast, to restore order after Italian
revolutionists took possession of the
town on September 20. The message
received yesterday from Admiral Knapp
was necessarily short, and did not give
as many details as Secretary Daniels
expected.
Because OF. the apparent antagonistic
attitude of Congress against further
use of American forces in the Fiume
dispute it is believed the Navy Depart
ment has requested Admiral Andrews.
commanding the United States forces
In the Adriatic. to forward all details
of the case to Washington. Until this
more complete report is furnished it is
thought likely that Secretary Daniels
will withhold his reply to the Senate
resolution asking information concern
ing American activities in the Adriatic.
That there is considerable opposi-
ton in Congress to continuing Amcri-
can participation in the patrol of the
Dalmatlan coast was evidenced yester
day when the subject of the American
landing party at Trau came up in the
House. 1t was hinted to-day that the
Fiume incident would be given consid-
cradle attention both in the House and
Senate this week, now that the Prcs-
dent has returned to Washington.
During the Presidents absence the
State Department has followed a policy
OF declining to throw any light on the
Flume situation suppressing cveen the
fact that the President was kept con-
stantly advised while away of all in
formation received by the department
from Paris or from consuls in the dis
puted territory

Light, one of the northernmost head
lands of Ireland, at the entrance to
Lough Swilly, is being conducted by the
salvage ship Racer.
The princely cargo lay at depth Of
twenty-five fathoms. The gold and bull
lion were contained in the strong
chamber amdships, rendered almost
impregnable by it's thick steel walls and
heavily bolted doors. At first portions
OF the Laurentic's deck were blasted
away and passage was made clear for
the divers. On June 20 the retrieving
Of the treasure began
The first bucket sent I'D contained
only copper pennies and a few silver
coins. Then for several days bucket
after bucket containing three or more
gold bars, each worth more than $4,000,
were hoisted to the surface and dumped
on the deck of the Racer. The first Of
these bars brought lusty cheers from
the crew of the salvage ship but toss
ing fortunes about soon came to be
merely another form of manual labor
to these sailormen
Most of the gold bars were nine
inches long, two inches thick and four
inches wide, and weighed about twen-
tty-eight pounds. For days not one was
found, as many of them were hurled
clear Of the wreck by the blasting nee
essary to make the strong chamber ac-
cessible. Several feet of sand have
now been washed over these scattered
bars and beneath masses of twisted
steel, and it frequently requires hours
OF patient labor to pry them loose The
record days haul so far had been for
try-sevcn bars-worth approximately
$4,000 Thus far several million dol
lars worth of treasure has been sal
vaged.

Town on French
SeacOast is Built
On Granite Blocks
Y. Nj. G.. A. Secretaries and
Nurses Chartered at the
Channel Resort Await
ing Transportation Home

Surely there is no seaside resort
more curious and interesting than
st. Malo, at the mouth of the Rance
River on the French side of the Eng
lish Channel. The famous ramparts or
walls, many yards thick. Nhch encircle
the old town. forming one Of the most
interesting promcnades to be found
anywhere. would alone suffice to attract
visitors. Near the coast there is veri-
table archipelago of granite islets, some
of which cease to be islets at low tide
The view across the estuary of the
Rance toward Dinard and La Nicomte is
charming, the clear blue green waters
being studded with sailing boats and
with the motor vedcttcs rushing from
one shore to the other
AT st. Malo everything seems to
be Of granite. The peninsula on which
the town is built is a mass Of granite
In this respect there is some resem-
blance TO Granville. The streets are
paved with granite sctts and the houses
built of granite blocks. Most of the
houses date from the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Many were the
abodes of those wealthy ship owners
merchants and sea captains who gave
st. Mslo such a distinguished place
in the maritime history of France
Their grim solidity seems to defy wind
and weather, and doubtless they have
not changed much since these narrow
streets echoed with the clatter of Sur
cout's sea boots century or more ago.
Crowded. Narrow Streets
AT present the streets have very
animated appearance. Their narrow
ness concentrates the traffic, giving a
combined seaside season and market
day effect.
st. Malo has two bathing beaches.
The Grande PLACE. the principal one.
is between the Casino and the Porte
st. Thomas. on the north side of the
town. There is also the PLACE du Bon
Secours. on the west side.
At low tide the visitors flock across
the causeway to the two islets-the
Grand and the Petit Bey On the
Grand Bcy, the one nearest the main
land. is the tomb Of Chateaubriand. to
which many admirers make a pilgrim
age. Between these islets is stone
jctty, where at low tide the motor
vedettes from Dinard embark and dis
embark passengers, for there is not
enough water to allow them to enter
st. Malo harbor.
There are 81 present in ST. M.,lo

German Influence
Blamed for Labor
Troubles in Spain
Man Who Settled Barcelona
Strike Says Professional
Agitators Are Responsible
for Bulk of the Trouble

WASHTNGTON.~ German influence
exercised in surreptitious and subter
ranean ways. is largely responsible for
the labor troubles in Spain and brought
about the riots in Barcelona last year
according to Charles E. Montanes, a
member of the Spanish Parliament and
Civil Governor Of Barcelona during the
riots. Mr.. Montanes, who is an en-
glneer and representative of great in
spending holiday in this country
combining business with pleasure. ac-
cording to "The Washington Post"
During his administration as governor
he brought about an adjustment of the
strikes and restored industrial peace
until the military class gained domi-
nation.
Ninety per cent of the laboring
class IN every country of the world in
my Judgment are honest, decent citi-
zens, willing and eager to observe the
others, including capital" said Mr..
Montanes: "In the Barcelona labor
troubles was appointed Civil Cover
nor, and in eight days I was fortunate
enough to settle the strikes and induce
the strikers to resume their work.
"ln my opinion, the solution of the
labor question depends almost entirely
upon elimination of the professional
agltator, who not only misrepresents
conditions to the men, who have little
time to study and think out problems,
nut muicts them of their earnings in
order to grow rich himself. Out of a
JOB when labor is satisfied, he resorts
to all sorts of schemes and intrigues
to keep himself going and to increase
his Illicit wealth.
"Ths was we'll exemplified in Bar
cclona, where was Governor. After
conference with the workingmen the
employers granted all the demands of
the former. In eight days the strikes
were over. and then the heads of the
syndlcaists insisted that the workers
90 out again until half q dozen Grim
mails who had been jailed were re-
leased The syndicalist heads renewed
their ch to dissatisfy the workers,
and they 1ere answered by a burning
OF their written demands
"l he average workingman is sen.
slblo person He wants and will insist
upon having what is his Just desert
The war will result eventually in an
equalization Of conditions in q level
ing OF the classes And this autu-
matically will bring about what the
people OF all countries devoutly desire
a reduction of the cost of living.
The trouble has been that the war
brought about a situation that com
PEELED an unequal distribution Of food
products and now it is serious mat
ter to restore the equilibrium. Strong
efforts must be made to bring this
about There has got to be natural
distribution of the products. and until
that comes the cost Of living will con-
tlnue high. II not accomplished, we
snali not sec return to normal con-
dltlons for many years"

quest that he. too, be permitted to take
a vacation, as the regime Of La Sante
