Nowhere in the world ought the news that Great Brit
ain has given Jugoslavia assurances Of just and equ
able settlement Of the Adrattc question to be received
with greater satisfaction than in this country The
United States has maintained consistent policy in this
vexed matter and thereby gained lot Of unearned
hostility in both Italy and among the southern slaVs
But the issue was one of those that refused to settle
ITSELF and the British has at last been fore
ed to come out in the open. Just what position the
British finally will take is problematc but it is safe
to predict that will be in line with that of the United
States. DAnnunzio's mad exploit in Fume was the
thing that prevented the Adriatic question from sim
mering down naturally and now that the government
at London has permitted to become known that it is
for square deal on the Adriatic his position is decd
edly precarious.

'PROHI BILL PASSED
 OVER WILSON VETO
Presidents DisapprOval is Over ridden by IT'S to 55-Lower House Had 22 Votes to Spare Senate May Act Today.

Washington, Oct 27-The House tonight passed the prohibition en- forcement biif over the presidents veto, acting within less than three hours after Mir. Wilson notified Con- gress that he could not sign the meas ure because of the war time enforce ment section.
 The vote on overriding the execu- tive veto was TIC to 55, which was 22 votes more than the necessary two thirds.
 Senate leaders who have had charge of the prohibition measure, including Senator Sterling of South Dakota, Re- publican, and Senator Sheppard of Texas, Democrat, said they believed the measure could be passed over the presidents veto. They favored an att tempt to do so, they said.
 The interpretation of the veto in official circles was that unless Con- gress repasses the bill over the presi- dents veto or immediately enacts a similar measure which becomes law, there will be "a wet spelP until na- tional prohibition becomes effective under the constitutional amendment in January.

LABOR MEETINGS
 CAUSE CONCERN
International Conferences Pro- yoke C0njecture-Capital is Wondering if Industrial Un- rest Will Be Allayed.

Washington, Oct. 27.--Whether the meetings here this week of two inter- national labor conferences, in addition to the international gathering pro- vided under the league of nations, will tend to allay the industrial unrest manifest in the United States was a subject of speculation in Washington tonight on the eve of the converting of the various delegates representing the leading countries of the world.
 Tomorrow at the same hour-10 o'clock-the International Federation of Trades Unions and the Interna- tional Congress of Working Women will get under way. The executive committee of the latter body was to hold it's first session today, but the absence of several of the delegates re- suited in postponement of the initial meeting until tomorrow.
 Included among the delegates to the Trades Union Federation meeting are a number of the less conservative of the European labor leaders and their attitude toward the dominant questions in the industrial world will be watched by American labor ex- perts with interest, because of the possibility of this attitude being re- flected in American labor circles. Some of these delegates, it was learn ed today, were prepared to express dissatisfaction with the labor provis- ions of the peace treaty and to urge more far-reaching demands from the governments of the peace making powers.
 The meeting tomorrow of the Fed eration of Trades Unions will be in many respects only preliminary tc the meeting Wednesday under the league of nations covenant, the delegates to both gatherings being in many cases the same.
 Announcement was made during the day that the German delegates to the conference under the league of na- tions sailed last Friday and will ar rive in the United States Nov. 3, while information was received that Aus trian representatives also were on their way.
 The Germans and Austrians were admitted to the International Fedora ton of Trades Unions at its organiza- tion meeting at Amsterdam July last Whether or not they will be admitted to the international labor conference with full rights or will merely be granted the privilege of participating in the discussion is to be decided by the conference itself.

HEAVY FIRING AGAINST
 CATTLE FEVER TICK

Washington, D. C., Oct. 2S.-The heavy firing that has made notable the '919 campaign against the cattle fever tick was continued with all guns during August, according to complete reports to the Bureau of Animal h. dustry, United States Department of Agriculture, from all the tick-infected states. Cattle clippings during Aug ust in all the states reached total of (, ,489, ,10U-which was nearly 100000 more than the clippings in August of 1918, although it did not reach the high mark set earlier this year.
 The aggressive work during August gives added assurance that 1919 will be one of the biggest tick eradication years since the federal and state gov ernments began in 1906 to go actively into the fight against the load that southern cattle raising has had to carry. It is expected that the releases of territory from federal quarantine against the tick-to be effective De cember Twill remove restrictions from a larger amount of territory than ever has been liberated in the year.

GOV. BROUGH ADDRESSES
 10000 AT LOUISIANA FAIR

Little Rock, Oct. Ex-Governor Brough returned yesterday from a tour during which he made number of speeches. He addressed 10000 people at the Louisiana State Fair at Shreveport on the league of nations, commenting it as the only effective instrument to prevent future wars.
 "The Louisiana State Fair is a wonderful advertising medium of the state of Louisiana" said the gover- nor, land Arkansas should emulate the example of her sister state in ar ranging for similar fair to be held at the capital each year.
 "Last year Louisiana appropriated for it's agricultural colleges $351 ,000, while Arkansas appropriated $434.- 900.
 'I was told by expert oil investors and geologists that the anti-cline which indicates the presence of oil stretches from the Caddo and Clai- borne fields in Louisiana through Co., lumbia and other Arkansas counties, and that it is the prevalent opinion in Louisiana that oil must be found in paying quantities in number of the Southern Arkansas counties
