It's All Matter of Harnessing the
 Power You'd Use

London, Feb. 7.--Sir Oliver Lodge told the Royal Society of Arts re- gently that if men were capable of harnessing all the atomic energy in a small piece of chalk, or any other matter of similar size, they would have enough power to raise 100000 tons to height of 5000 feet.
 Up to the present, he said, they had not succeeded in making use of that power but they were on the verge of doing it. In the wireless telephone was the first step in that direction. There the particles giv- en off by wire electrically heated to whiteness were employed to break the circuit. So sensitive and prompt were the particles to respond to the electrical stimulus that one could send words at the rate of 300 mn- ute by the Morse code. By no or dinary mechanical means could this be accomplished.
 Among other possible sources of energy, said Sir Oliver, was the ether and he warned his auditors not to disregard it because it was as real a thing as anything. With regard to the energy emanating from the sun the best thing we could do with it was to utilize it through agriculture. Plants had found out how to use it without first turning it into heat and we could not better their meahods.
 Other possible sources of energy were the tides and the waves. With the former nothing could be yet done on account of the vast areas required to form reservoirs. The land so covered would be of much more value if reclaimed and used for agriculture. He preferred to con- slider the possibility of using the waves if anything were going to be done in that direction.

POet-WarriOr Wins Many Friends by
 His Hospitality

Rome, Feb. 7.--Foreigners who visit Plume and enjoy the hos pitality of Gabrielle d' Annunzio, the "poet-warrior," who rules there, are by no means agreed as to whether his adventure in Plume should be supported.
 Two American women who re- gently returned from that city are enthuhiastic about the poet. One of them said that he seemed to her only the embodiment of spirit ual movement" and that "his enthu- siasm carries one away from all thought as the herald of his great idea. He seems to be voice from another world"
 A hard-headed American journal ist~ said on returning to Rome: "It is all bunk. It is the worst pipe dream ever ran into. Some dreamers and idealists may sympathize with d'Annunzio's adventures; but l can not see anything but harm in it for Italy It is a blow to the discipline of the army and navy and menace to the Italian government. At first it was rather amusing, but one gets tired of farce"
 Apparently there is wide diverg- ence of views among Italians as among foreigners as to the value of the d'Annunzio expedition. Many Italians who are enthusiastic about it at first have chilled nsecond thought. This especially is true among members of the conservative parties who attribute the great gains of the Socialists in the recent general elections to the extreme na- tionalist movement as typified by d'Annunzio.

|enceau, Now About to Step From |rld's Stage, Has Had Varied Career With Most Active Days Those of War

"drive" had spent itself and the AL lies were breaking the Hindenburg line, he said: "The day of glory has come! Our sons are completing the formidable task of their fathers and with brotherly nations are securing supreme victory. All right-mind- ed humanity is with our troops who are Hberating the world from the fury of evil force."
 Shot by the 19-year-old anarchist, Emile Cottin, on February 2, 1919, Clemenceau joked with the doctor who attended him. "The anarchists hunted the tiger but they missed him." he remarked. Cottin was sen- fenced to death but Clemenceau urged commutation and the youth received 10 years imprisonment. When President Wilson called to express his sympathy the aged statesman told him his "hide" was "too thick for a bullet to pierce"
 Upon the completion of the draft of the peace treaty by the Supreme Inter-Allied Conference, Clemenceau who had presided at the historical gathering, bade his colleagues adieu with the observation: q have done my best. I think it is good peace"
 Although radical in Frence pol itics, Clemenceau had no use for Bolshevism. Questioned about the Russian situation last December he said: "We not only will not make peace but we will not compromise with the government of the Soviets. We have decided that we will be the allies of all peoples attacked by Bolshevism." He at the same time expressed his confidence in the and predicted solution of the Plume problem.
 "Italy promised Plume to the Jugo- Slavs, but went back on her promise France, England and the U. s. have sought a solution and the latest in- dications are that it will be reach ed. Only when this is accomplished can we begin to breathe freely"
 Clemenceau's address at Stras- bourg last November 4, referred to at the time as "his political vale dictory to France" was a remark able plea for universal tolerance and social justice. Among it's most striking passages were:
 "The worlds only salvation from the social and economic chaos from which it is now emerging is work"
 Government must be based upon public order and the respect of in- dividual rights"
 "Let us all work for the grand eur and glory of France. Let us all stand firm and united for the welfare of mankind"

Sheep Raisers to
 Visit Alberta

Grande Prairie, Alta, Feb. T. Australian sheep faisers are plan ming to emigrate to the Grande Prairie district of Northern Alberta this spring, according to informa- tion received from Queensland by the local board of trade. It is claimed that the action of the labor party in Australia, in placing direct taxes on lands to absorb war debts, has caused number of farmers and sheep raisers to decide to move to other parts of the British empire.
 The Grande Prairie district was a complete wilderness few years ago and has practically no railroad service. The Canadian government is building line to this region from Edmondton. It is said that the wild country in the summer time is much like parts of Australia.

Kilauea Volcano
 Opens 1919 With Violent Outburst

Hilo, Island of Hawaii. Feb. 7.-Ki- lauea voclano. which during the clos ing months of 1919 produced an erup- tion surpassing anything of it's kind in recent years. opened 1920 with smother magnificent spectacle which had not been paralleled since 1868
 On December 22, lava from Kilauea forced it's way ID through the floor of the Kan desert. six miles distant from the firepit of the crater. and bv New Year's day observers were watch F-np flow of molten lava, six miles 1onp and 100 wards wide. travelling sonthward through the forest of ohia trees at rate of three miles per day. An inner channel of the flow was making as high speed as 12 miles an hour at the source. and swelling from scprinrs twelve feet across.
 As the molten lava cut into the for est the trees were set afire. many of them being quickly burned through at their bases and carried along up- rirht in the flow like giant torches.
 The location of Kilauea's most re. cent outbreak is along the rift-line of 1868, left by the terrific earth nnake which rocked the island of Hawaii in that year. The rift, clearly defined, runs from the southern rim of Halemaumau. the "house of fire," or firepit of Kilauea, through the south wall of the main crater and thence to the sea. twenty miles away in series of wide, parallel crevasses. The new flow, however, has not made it's appearance along the rift at point closer to the firepit than six miles, where it has welled up through the thickly lava-coated desert floor of Kau.
 From the rift line many molten fountains could be seen spouting thirty feet in the air. Heavy fumes were emenating from the earth along the entire line of the rift.

 As the desert flow increased, the lava level in Halemaumau continued to sink, until volcanologists prophe- sled that the pit might be drained.
