ISLAND OF TAHITI
INVADED BY VICES
OF CIVILIZATION
(By Associated Press.)

Pareete, Tahiti, Dec. 80. Those
who brave the long voyage to the
South Seas in the hope Of escaping
the extravagances Of civilization are
likely to meet with bitter disillusion-
ment before they have been in the
islands many hours.
The hectic atmosphere Of the met
ropolitan dance hall has been waited
across the long miles, OF blue sea to
these isolated shores and Broadway
flaunts brazenly through the shadows
Of the cocoanut groves. The gramo-
phone has come to Tahiti and has
been acquired by every native who
could find the wherewithal. And now,
the peaceful silences, broken hereto
fore only by the sound Of the distant
booming Of the surf on the barrier
reef and the soft cadences Of native
singing, are shattered by the sonor-
GUS blare Of the latest jazz or the
screech Of the reigning favorite on
the vaudeville circuit. !.

SILVER PALACE
ENTERED BY THIEF
WHO GETS $500

The drug store Of Cason and Tack
er, known as the Silver Palace, was
entered this morning at about 6:3O by
a thief who gained entrance by break
ing the heavy plate glass door at the
front Of the building. After helping
himself to the contents Of the cash
drawer, amounting to about six dol
lars, he was making a leisurely get
away when he was observed by Po-
tliceman Sineath and Emory Bryant.
Upon being ordered to halt he took
to his heels and succeeded In getting
away.
Mr.. Bryant had arrived at his place
o. business across the street and was
conversing with Policeman Sineath,
when the robber strolled out OF the
drug store and proceeded across the
vacant lot in front Of the fremont
Hotel. Noting that he was none Of
the employees Of the Silver Palace, the
policeman rushed across to the store
to ascertain II he were customer
leaving at so early an hour. It was
seen that not only was the place not
doing business but that forced en-
try had been made. The policeman
gave chase and kept up the pursuit,
firing occasionally at the fugitive, who
finally eluded him in the neighbor-
hood Of Lake Morton.
There is no good clue. The thief
is a white man, apparently young.
The first supposition that he might
be member of the gang of dope
fiends known to be in the city was
dispelled by the fact that he had evi-
IDENTIFY no designs on anything other
than the cash drawer.

Sketch Of Fiume War

e
The seizure Of Fiume in September
1919, by Gabriel D'Annunzio, D the Ital.
ian poet-warrior, was dramatic eli
max to controversy reaching back
| 10 the treaty of London in 1915, by
(which the provinces fronting on the
Adriatic were parcelled out, Fiume
being given to Croatia.
AT the end Of the war Italian ma
|tionalists demanded Fiume. It was
denied. The Nationalists, however, in
vcked the principle Of "self-determin-
|ation'' as enunciated by President
wilson, pointing to the fact that the
Population Of Fiune, upon the disso-
| luton Of the Austro--Hungarian en-
|pire, had declared for union with
|Italy.
Croatia, now part OF the Jugo-
Slavia, opposed that claim. President
wilson sided with the Jugo-Slavians,
and his views were shared by British
and French delegates to the peace
conference. The city was therefore
turned over to Jugo-Slavia.
After a good deal Of negotiations,
riotings and public demonstrations.
DAnnunzio worked up following
and took possession Of Fiume, march
Ing an army Of volunteers against the
Italian regulars, under General Pit
taluga, who refused to order his
troops to fire on the poets legionaries
and embraced the cause Of the poet.
Many diplomatic conferences fol-
lowed, and the final elimination was
the decision of the Italian government
70 retake Fiume by force and turn it
ever to the Jugo-Slavic republic.
