San Reno, April 22.-As the
fourth day of the conference opened
allied premiers today apparently had
accomplished little. So far the prem
iers have spent practically all their
time discussing the Turkish ques-
tion. The settlement Of the Adria-
tic question, which the Italians had
hoped for at this meeting apparently
has been postponed until the May
meeting in Paris. Indications of a
breach between premiers were many.
French correspondents made no ef-
fort to conceal the situation, report
ing to their newspapers an alignment
of Great Britain, Italy and Japan
against the attitude of France, that
she has a right to enforce clauses of
the peace treaty which most vitality
affects her.
Paris. April 22.-The interallied
commission has recommended that
Germany be allowed an army in ex.
cess of 100000 men provided by the
Versailles treaty the newspaper Lin.
transigeant. said today in a dispatch
from San Reno. The present con-
ference of premiers will end April
26th, reconvening in Paris, May 5th,
was reported.

LONDON. March 13.-American ed
ucatiOnal methods that helped to make
the United States dry were praised to-
day by Viscountess Nancy Astor, NJ P,
who is waging a sturdy temperance fight
in Great Britain.
''In America the work for temperance
was started fifty years ago in the
schools" she said. Children were taught
the evil effects of alcohol. British chill
dren have not had that advantage, but
they must be warned. 1t is q fight for
the future generations. What is it to be,
ask, the babies or the brewers?"
ASKS LAW FOUNDING
FUTURE PROHIBITION.
1.-THE drink control bill of the govern
ment must go further than the mere reg
ulahon of hours of sale. 1t should form
the Foundation of future prohibition.

all my advisers said: Do not mention
the liquor question. The brewers will
knife you 7 told them l certainly would
discuss the liquor question and I did so
in my speeches. In fact, at a uniOnist
dinner, when the men held glasses OF
liquor aloft, told them that if l had my
way all the booze in the United Kingdom
would be at the bottom OF the sea.
THE breweries and dstilleries will
have just as much power as we let them
have"
SHOWS COURAGE
OF HER CONVICTIONS.
That the American-born viscountess
has the courage of her convictions has
been shown by her attacks upon the
liquor interests since she took her seat
In commons. Although a militant IN
politics Viscountess Astor IS the last
person one would pick out Of a group
of women for the bold progressive she
Is. She has the figure Of a girl, al
though she is the mother Of six chill
dren. In height she Is not more than
five feet three inches, but so acutely
vibrant is her personality that there ia
DO suggestion of frailness.
The viscountess likes best to be re-
garded as the oId-fashioned mother who
is doing what she can for other people
as we'll as for her own family.
