Divorce proceedings brought against Maxmi1ian J. Fuchs, the Stamford resident who is charged with having failed to account for over $25,O00 worth of copper while he was an official in Baer Bros plant in Stamford, have been postponed be- cause lawyers in the case desire to file additional p1eadings.

RANCH OWNERS
 RANSOM RAISED

Chicago, March 13-Ransom for Peter W. Summers, American ranch owner charged near Salina Cruz last week by Mexican bandits under Jesus Morellas, was raised from $500 to $5,0e0 and March 12 fixed as the last day for payment according to a telegram from American Consul Bur linghame at Salina Cruz to two sis ters of Summers here.
 Informed through the state depart ment that the ransom had been at the smaller figure the women said, a brother, Luke D. Summers of Chiclza- sha, Oklahoma, raised the money and forwarded it to Senator Owen of Ok 1ahoma to be turned over to the ban dits. Their hopes were blasted, they said, with receipt of the message from Consul Burlinghame who add ed:
 "One or two thousand dollars if available might save him. No funds available here"
 The sisters, Mrs. S. K. Switzer and Mrs. J. A. Humphreys, were inform ed from Washington that the state department was doing everything possible to have Summers released.
 A late dispatch today says that Mexican federal troops have brought about the release of Summers.

TURKEY CAUSING
 ENGLAND WORRY

London, March 13.---Omcia1 Eng. land is showing evidences of anxiety over the settlement of the Turkish problem and the situation rapidly de- veloping in southwestern Asia. The attitude of indifference or defiance as sumed by the Turkish nationalists. signs of unrest throughout the Moslem world and activities of Russian Bol- shevid in Afghanistan combine to give a serious aspect to the tangle.
 Advices stating Prince Feisal, son of the King of The Hedjaz, has been pro- claimed king of Syria add another el- ement to the situation which may easily lead to trouble in that region. Allied governments have not indicated what their attitude toward the new king5om and it's ruler may be, as the movement was ignored or underesti-
 mated by officials up until the last few days.
 Turks in Constantinople are appar- ently ignoring allied plans for enforc- ing the terms of peace with their country and protecting non n-MosleTns, reports declare, and the fact that there is a strong demand for the expulsion
 of the Sultan from Europe has caused hardly ripple at the. Turkish capital.

PEOPLE IN FRANCE ARE
 OUT ON STRIKE

Paris, March 13-Officia1s of the federation of labor today estimated that nearly 100000 persons are on strike in France.
 In the Lyons region several thou sand hands in the silk mills have gone out, bringing the number of strikers at that center to a total of 900 in the various industries.
 In the Department of DuNorde some 10000 coal miners have struck in sympathy with the strike of an equal number in Pas De Calais, and this development has strengthened the hope of the radicals among the labor leaders that a general coal strike may be brought about.
 Strikes of from 2,500 to 5000 building workers are reported sev- orally from various regions, among them fingers and Toulouse.
 The Paris region seems more free from strikes than most parts of France but strikes among the shoe makers, upholsterers and marble workers are threatened.
