Swedish Premier
Says Ala1nd Case
.Jq1stifes League
Only u. S. Participation Is
Needed to Make Tribu.
NAL Effective, He Insists;
Finland Not Enthusiastic

PARIS, Sept. 10 (By The Associated
Press).-The League of Nations,
through its Intervention in the Aland
Islands question between Sweden and
Finland, has proved it's right to live
as an effective means of preventing
future wars growing out Of interna-
Prime Minister Of Sweden, said to-day:
II will not use the word war; but
the situation between Sweden and Fin
land was tense. The council of the
league, through its cautious but prompt
action, has dissipated the feeling and
Sweden believes the council will settle
the matter to the satisfaction of both
countries.
Sweden has complete confidence in
the league as means of preventing
future wars, and proof of this lies in
our case in it's hands. I believe the
action the league has taken on the
Aland Islands question furnishes
proof to the world that the league,
even in its present state, is an eff
cient world court fer hearing inter
national difficulties and forestalling
conflicts between nations. All that the
league needs to make it a most effec-
tive and certain instrument Of reduc-
ing future wars to the absolute mini
mum is the participation Of the United
States. Sweden and the other nations
OF the world await the entrance of
America with anxiety and the keenest
interest"
Referring to Sweden's position con-
cerning the Aland Islands, Premier
Branting said that Sweden never would
give up the islands, which, he declared,
were essentially Swedish. Sweden had
suggested q plebiscite - prove ner
claim, the Premier said, out the coun-
Gil had not yet decided what means it
would employ and three commissioners
would make an investigation.
Premier Branting predicted that the
commissioners report would recon-
mend return of the islands to Swedish
prove the Finnish contention that the
majority of the islanders were Firms,
Premier Branting asserted, and the
islanders themselves had expressed
strongly a desire to be joined with
Sweden.

Paris, declared to-day that the leagues

M. Enckel also protests against the

Branting that Sweden is determined
never to relinquish it's sovereignty in
the Aland Islands was taken by NJ
Enckell.
A public meeting Of the league will
be held tomorrow to deliberate on the
situation created by the protest.

Decisive results have not as yet
been reported, but in the fighting thus
Iar the French seem to have been more
successful than their opponents, Mr..
Wesson says. His letter says all the
Americans in the city are we'll.
There have been real artillery
battles here" says the letter. when
ever the French turn their guns loose
against the Turks the inhabitants Of
Aintab take to cover. The Turks are
very good marksmen, at times, and
frequently have compelled the French
to keep close to cellars throughout the
city.
zone day the Turks bombarded the
French aviation field and then they
made an attempt to take it by storm,
but they were driven off, losing a
number killed. The Turks also have
shelled the Central Turkey College,

Bishop Denounces Dances

SAN JUAN, Sept. 2.--Present styles
Of dress and the newer dances are Sc
verely criticised as immodest and de-
grading by the Right Rev. William A.
Jones, Bishop of the Roman Catholic
Diocese Of Porto Rico, who has issued
q warning to both priests and parish
toner's against their demoralzing in
huences.
Certain Of the modern dances are
"mockery to shame and in reality are
nothing more than a bait to sensual
ity," in the opinion of the bishop.
while the style Of the day in women's
dresses, he warns, should not be used
to exhibit nakedness."
Priests are advised that they may not
organize dances for church benefits,
according to instruction from tho Pope,
while they may not attend festivals or
ganized by lay members Of their con-
gregations where dancing Is INDUCED in.
The bishop gives his views on dress
and dancing in an ecclesiastical letter
addressed TO both prtcsts and members
Of the church in this DIOCESE and pub.

Church Fights Proposed
Divorce Law i'm Italy
Socialists, However, Strongly
Back Bill Which Settles
Properfy Rights

ROME, Aug. 27.--A law to permit
divorce in Italy proposed by the Social
ist deputy, Marangoni, has aroused both
protest and approval in the clerical
and Socialist camps. The bill has now
been examined by parliamentary COM
mission, which has amended it.
Under the proposed law divorce
would be permitted in consequence of
separation for three years in the case
Of those who have children, two years
IN the case of those who have none.
Dissolution of marriage could also
be asked by husband who, having
been absent on military service. or for
the execution of civil or philanthropic
duties on the occasion of some national
calamity, could prove that during his
absence his wife was unfaithful. Rea-
sons for separation of married persons

Gus OF. intolerable; desertion on the
part Of husband or wife, inlction of
q penal sentence carrying the interdic-
tlon Of civil rights, and habitual crime
or conduct injurious to the honor of
the family.
The proposed law also regulates the
legitimation of children born out of
ih@ti iuoHy' seIIieS Cne question OF all
mony, the restitution of the dot and the
arrangements regarding property held
in common by man and wife; provides
for the education and maintenance of
children and for the institution called

fairly often now have recouse at mat
rimonial troubles.
However, the idea of the institution
Of divorce is so strange to many Ital-
ians, and is 80 strongly opposed by the
Roman Catholic Church, that many are
of the opinion that it has but slight
chance of becoming lay, although it is
supported with some fervor by the So
cialists.

Military Situation
To Control Action
AT Riga Conference
Small Chance of Cessation
of Fighting Seen by Pole
Envoy Until Preliminary
Peace Terms Are Made

RIGA. Latvia, Sept. 10 (By The AS
sociated Press).-After two-hour con-
ference yesterday afternoon between
NJ. Dombski, head of the Polish peace
mission, and Adolph Joffe, chief Of the
Russian Soviet delegation, the opinion
was expressed to the correspondent by
M. Lads, secretary Of the Polish mis-
sion, that there was little chance of a
cessation Of the Russo~Polish fighting
until preliminary peace terms were
agreed upon. Action at the conference,
which will endeavor to reach an agree
ment on armistice terms and formu-
late treaty Of peace between Poland
and Soviet Russia, will be controlled
largely by the military situation, ac-
cording to views expressed here.
The favorable military situation of
the Poles at present, which makes their
position more secure, and the delay in
the arrival Of the Polish delegates here
coupled with the deliberateness of the
preliminary procedure, have created
the impression that the conference NAV
be long drawn out. Until the Poles are
able to establish line which can
readily be defined it is considered prob
able in some official quarters here that
Pc and will not agree to a cessation of
hostilities.
NJ. Meirmwitch, Lettish Minister of
Foreign Affairs, will open the peace
conference Tuesday with an address OF
welcome, to which NM Dombski and
Joffe will respond. The prasidins Of.
ficer will be NJ. Domhski, it being his
turn to preside under che terms Of the
agreement reached at Minsk.
Yesterday afternoons conference was
held behind closed doors at the Black
Head House, erected as club for
bachelor merchants in the fourteenth
century. M. JofYe drove to the confer
ence in limousine which belonged to
the former Emperor of Russia. while
NJ. Dombski arrived in a dipladipate d
one-horse vehicle.
