MILLIONS STOLEN FROM D'ANNUNzI0 AT PLUME, REPORT
Strong Box Robbed of Cash And Important Documents
 After City's Capture.

ROME, Jan. b.-SeVefal mllllol lire have been stokcn from Gabriele D'Anunzio's strongboX in his office at Plume. according to despatches received here today Documents re- l.ting to the poet t-commander's seiz- rre and rule over Plume, prior tc recent occupation by Italian Gov ernment troops, also were taken.
 D'Annunzio was expected to leave Plume for an usknown destination today He has declared that he will quit Italy, since "she is no longer worth fighting for, and by some 1t is said he intends to going to South America and carve out new des- tiny among people appreciative of a brave soldier and born leader
 A thousand of his former legion nairies left yesterday for Venice and three hundred sailors, who formerly manned the poets war fleet, set out for POla.
 Detailed descriptions of the last phases of the struggle in Plume re- ceived here today show that the fight assumed the character of guerilla warfare all along the line The legionnairies took advantage of the natural resources of the ter rain for laying ambuscades and many Italian soldiers fell victim tc these.
 As the regulars were advancing across orchards they were enveloped by fire from machine guns which had been sunk to the level of the ground and cleverly camoufiaged Houses seemed to have been aband- oncd, but when the troops approach ed the legionnairies hidden behind windows. and chimney stacks and on balconies and roofs, suddenly opened fire Even women were found working machine guns The gravest losses were inflicted by hand grenades which were used so freely cs to give the impression that they must have been accumulated by scores of thousands It would have been an easy matter to get the bet ttI bI AIt ItSiOhidiitS by fiiploS ing artillery, but the military authorities refused such recourse except against military buildings.
 The legionnairies ultimately tried to force the regulars to retreat ir order to relieve the pressure on the city but failed owing to the stub born resistance especially of the Carabineres and Alpine troops who fought coura geously for more than three hours The struggle was bit terest near the railway station and inside the Fiumo cemetery, which virtually was destroyed

REVENUE BUREAU IS GRANTED BIG
 APPROPRIATIONS
Legislative, Executive and Judicial Bill Totaling

Huge Cuts Made in Estimates Submitted by the Various
 Government Departments

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6. - The House Appropriations Committee today reported out a legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill carrying a total of S112,72S,- 438, or nearly $24,000,0 900 less than the various departments requested and nearly $6,OOO,OOO below the amount appropriated for the cur rent year
 An appropriation of $10, 0,000,000 recommended for the Bureau of h. ternal Revenue would be used large ly for prohibition enforcement.
 Plans for reducing the number of liquor during the present year have been announced by Prohibition Com missioner Kramer who said the new issue of licenses would be held to a strict minimum in an effort to check illegal liquor sales.
 Revenue officers are ''up against tough proposition in enforcement of the Volstead Act" Paul Myers, Assistant Commissioner of Internal Revenue, told the Committee. He declared that the department is dealing with the worse element of crooks in the country and also is having a hard time to secure agents free from temptation to the enor- nous bribes offered.
 The greatest reduction will be in wholesale permits, but other dealers entitled to operate under the Vol stead act also will be considerably affected.
 To Refuse Renewals.
 The Commissioner said it was his intention to refuse to reissue be tween 50 and 75 per cent" of the wholesale licenses now in effect.
 The enforcement staff has been engaged for several months in studying the records of the 77.OO0- odd permit holders to ascertain who have committed overt acts under the prohibition statutes with the view of eliminating them from the list of those who handle intoXicants next year.
 The bureau has been aided in this task, MT. Kramer said, by the failure of many to apply for new permits This is especially true of the wholesalers. he added. The mum ber who desire renewals of retail licenses, however, has not decerased markedly. according to the commits sioner, although hundreds of them will be refused because of their records during the first year of op- eration of the Volstead law

 Two foreign questions are likely to give constant concern to the Gov ernment throughout the coming year. They are the payment of the repara- tions by Germany and the war with Turkish nationalists over the Syrian and Silician mandates. Then also, there are the large general questions of the future of the Versailles peace treaty, the League of Nations and the many issues growing out of the peace conference, in all of which France has very deep concern ir what the coming year may bring forth.
 The German attitude at the Brus- sels conference which is scheduled 70 be resumed next week. gives rise to the expectation that an agreement on reparations is possible early in the spring, fixing the total sum and the manner of payment
 No Reduction In Army
 There will be d period of anxiety after the decision until it can be seen whether Germany will pay the miscellaneous agreed upon. It prob ably will take a year or more to de- termine this, consequently the French army will be maintained near its present strength of 8l0.0O0 of whom 100000 are whites and the others colonials. France now has about 10000 troops in Turkey.
 The advance which France has made in reconstruction. her wheat crop which reduces buying abroad by two billion francs, and the continued confidence of French investors.

HENDRIX TO HEAR
 N07ABLES SPEAK

Three distinguished public leaders have already been secured by Dr. John Hugh Reynolds for the series of ad- dresses to be delivered Hendrix Col lege students from time to time dur ing the present sesion. Former Gov ernor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, candidate for the Republican presi- dental nomination; c. P. J. Mooney of Memphis, managing editor of the Comercial Appeal and probably the south's best known editor, and Major J. R. Fordyce of Little Rock, formerly of the army of engineers corps and builder of Camp Pike, have notified Dr. Reynolds of their acceptances. Others probably will be added as Dr. Reyonlds works out his plans for the series.
 Dr. Reynold talked with Mir. Moon- ey on his recent visit to Memphis and was much gratified when the distin- guished editor accepted. The date will be arranged later to conform with Mir. Mooney's other appoint ments, which also holds in the case of Governor Lowden and Major For dyce.
 The coming of the Memphis editor will probably mean much favorable publicity for Conway and the county as well as the college, as Mir. Mooney usually describes in the Commercial Appeal the cities which he visits. Dr. Reynolds plans to tender a noon din- ner in honor of the visitor and to in- vlte as many Conway business men as possible to be present.
