ers were allowed to take advantage
Of prevailing prices they would virtual
ly be paying one fifth of what natives
are compelled to pay.
Signor Giollttl, premier, pointed out
the necessity of taxing foreigners
prudently, since the tourist industry
brought large influx of capital to
Italy which the government could not
neglect to remember without injurlng
the budget.

ton until the May meeting of the
league.
The conference In London dealt
with the problem Of the Near East
and the possibility Of revising the
Sevres treaty. Turkish delegations
representing both the Constantnople
and the Angora governments were
present and the first part of the week
was wasted in their efforts to get to-
gether and present detailed state
ment Of their desires They finally
agreed on demands that Thrace, Smyr-
M and the Dardanelles be restored to
Turkey. and objections TO the pOllt-
lcal, economic and financial control
exercised by the allies. However,
Rechad Pasha speaking for both
groups. assured the conferees that
both sections would accept the de-
cisIon Of the allies. The demand that
the custody Of the Dardaneles be re-
signed again to the Turks caused
much surprise and unfavorable com
ment, even among the French dele
gates, who have been generally on the
side OF Turkey in the present contro-
versy. The Greeks remain uncompro-
missing in their demand that the treaty
of Sevres stand virtually unaltered,
and II was considered possible the
great powers might permit them to
try to hold their positions In Turkey,
though without assistance from the
allies.

The chamber also passed an addi-
tional bill authorizing the government
to increase prices paid for foodstuffs
by natives of countries where Italian
money is at discount. The bill had
Its origin In the fact that 1tlay pays
for her coal, wheat and raw materials
In pounds sterling and dollars, which
means Italians pay FIVE times the par
price.
Italy, even after the increase In bread
prices, still will lose billions Of lire
on staple foods In order to keep the
price relatively low, and also will lose

As TO Federal Appointments.

Washington. Especially Brownlow
Jackson for United States Marshal
for western North Carolina and Frank
A. Linney of Boone, for district attor-
ney, succeeding Stonwall Jackson
Durham of Gastonia, appear to be
about as certain as anything can be
according to republican politicians
who are keeping up with patronage
insofar as II affects North Carolina
republicans.
According to the best dope" there
is apparently no one opposing either
Jackson or Linney for these places.

Want Share Of $4,000, 900.

That the general assembly should
adopt a joint resolution in order to
take advantage of the provisions Of
the Smith Towner educational bill,
about to be enacted by the national
congress, is the suggestion made by
W. Lawrence Marshall, Charlotte at
torney.
Mr. Marshall calls attention to the
fact that around s50,OOO,OO0 is to be
distributed annually, under the enact
ment, and that this distribution is to
be made, in part at least, on the per-
centage OF illiteracy.

Educators Swamp Committee.

Train loads OF educators from Char
lotte, Greensboro, Asheville, Whining
ton and other big towns in the state
swamped down upon legislative
committee and made an impressive
plea for twenty millions for higher
education.
Captain Bob Williams, of Asheville,
and Mrs. Chas. c. Hook, of Charlotte,
were easily the strongest proponents
of the bigger program. The hall of
the house was packed almost as tight
as 1t was during the censorship fight
Of the afternoon.

The two great agencies of the allies
the supreme council and the council
of the League of Natlons-begpn SEES
sions last week, the former In London
and the latter in Paris. The league
council first took up the matter of
amendments TO the covenant, and, be-
cause the attitude Of the incoming ad-
ministrati0n in America was In doubt,
the question was referred to a com
mittee which will not report before
April. This gives Mr.. Harding time to
define his position on the league.
Then the mandates were brought up
for consideration, and again the
United States, though not officially
represented, made its influence felt.
Ambassador Wallace sent word that
our State department wished to pre-
sent its views, and action was halted
until the note from Washington ar
rived. This note, In substance, called
attention to the fact that the United
SldleS has never given us CONSENT
that the island of zap be included in
the territories subjected to the man
date of Japan, and declares the gov
eminent cannot regard itself as
bound by the terms of that mandate,
II asked the council to submit the
question to a new investigation.
Secretary Colby also claimed for
the United States an equal concern
and interest with the other principal
allied and associated powers In the
disposition of the overseas posses
sions Of Germany.
The net result at this writing, Is
a decision to delay all mandate &C.

According to adyices from Constan.
tinople, the Bolshevists In the eau
casus region have begun warfare
against the republic Of Georgia and
already have occupied considerable
territory First dispatches said the
Reds, under command of Budenny,
had captured Tihis, the capital, but
later 1t was reported they had been
driven back from the city by the
hastily gathered Georgian troops.
There Is little doubt of the ability OF
the Bolshevists to Oyerrun Georgia
and reach Erzerum, there establishing
contact with the forces of Mustapha
Renal Pasha.
Another Red drive took place In
Persia and resulted In the capture of
Teheran, the capital, and of the shah
himself. This exploit was carried out
by several thousands of Persian Cos.

From German news sources comes
the information that Montenegro,
which has never ceased to protest
against the loss of her identity In the
formation of the new Jugo-Slavian
state, has declared holy war against
Serbia. The message said two Serbian
regiments had occupied Cetlnje, the
Montenegro capital, and that the stu
alton was considered serious.

While the "war" In Ireland was be-
Ing carried on with renewed yigor by
both sides, the house Of commons last
week engaged in long and exciting de-
bates on the Irish question. AT one
time, In rejecting an opposition amend
ment by vote Of 257 to SO the house
placed its seal of approval on the gov
ernment's Irish policy. Lord Robert
Cecil made his debut as whip of the
opposition party In an effective
speech In which he demanded that a
parliamentary commission make an
impartial investigation OF the alleged
atrocities In Ireland. Sir Haman
Greenwood warned the house that the
conspiracy of The Sim Fein was now
directed against England; and he told
of n captured document which showed
an appropriation Of 100000 month
for the Republican army" most of
which money, he asserted, came from
Irish-Americans
Justice Cohalan Of the Supreme
court Of New York, one of the most
obnoxious of the anti-English Irish
men in this country, made himself
more ridiculous than usual last week
by voicing, in a public address, the
opinion that the United States should
demand of Great Britain that she
make Canada free and forever remove
the British flag from this continent
A notable achievement in aviation
