PREMIER SHUTS APPEALS
TO u. S. TO JOIN LEAGUE
Insists South African Vote in As
sembly Is an Inde-
pendent One.

JOHANNESBURG, Union of South
Africa. February 1S.-President Will
son was persuaded to the view that
the British empire is in reality a
small league of nations, declared Gen.
Jan Christian Smuts. premier of the
Union, of South Africa, here today in
addressing an enthusiastic league of
nations demonstration. He expressed
the hope that America would soon
adopt this viewpoint. join the league
and assist it with all its might.
The premier said that one of the
difficulties Americans faced in study
ing the league was in the fact that
the small nations of the British en-
pre had vote. but he asserted that
it should be understood that South
Africas vote was that of an inde-
pendent state.
Thus what America achieved by
seven years of bloody war" he con-
tinued "was achieved peacefully by
the league for South Africa"
A tribute to the work of President
Wilson on behalf of the league was
paid by the premier, who asserted:
name will be one of the greatest in
history. The league, which will be
one of the most potential things in
the nature of mankind, came from the
hearts of peoples and embodied in
spirations torn out of the sufferings
of the late war

Barred From Maryland Offices,
Women Will Fight for Rights

BALTIMORE. Md. February 10
Women are barred from every public
office in Maryland where the statute in
dicates the office should be held only by
a male, according to an opinion delivered
by Attorney General Alexander Arm
strong, jr.
The use of the masculine pronoun in
laws which create offices is accepted by
the attorney general as indicative of the
intention cf the law that tlFe Office should
be filed only by a male.
If the opinion stands it will bar women
from running for the legislature or any
other Office this year. The common law
of Maryland. on which the opinion is
based. provides that women may hold
Office by special legislative statute" but
such special legislation cannot be en-
acted until after the elections this year

fragc leaders last night expressed the de-
termination to begin at once fight to

Ambassador Ricci, Recently
Arrived, Talks on Eco
nomic Questions.

NEW YORK, February l9.-The
Italian ambassador, Signor V. Ro-
landi Ricci, who recently arrived from
Rome and is about to proceed to
Washington to present his creden-
tials, expressed his views on ques-
tions in which Italy and the United
States are interested.
Referring to the European indebt
edness growing out of the war. the
ambassador said.
Italy will meet her obligations as
she has always done. Every Italian
feels deeply hurt whenever it is implied
that his country might fail. Natur-
ally. Ialy expects that the amount
of her debts will be definitely as
certained and that a reasonable pc
riod of time will be allowed for the
payment of them"
With regard to the recent industrial
crisis in Italy during which the work
ers occupied the metal plants, Ambas-
sador Ricci said:
when the Italian metallurgical
worker temporarily occupied the
plants. IT was not weakness on the
part of the government that allowed
it. 1t was. on the contrary. fore
sightness and intuition that led. the
government to yield, thus on the one
hand making the employers realize
that they should lend a willing ear to
the request of the workers for an in
crease in wages in order to meet the
high cost of living. and. on the other
hand. making the workers unde rst 2 nd
that they could not get along with
out the capital and management Of
the employer. The experiment was
successful and work was resumed with
discipline and alacrity.
THE precept of the gospel. do no.
judge superficially,' is a wise precept
even in politics. Those who were
alarmed at the sight of the red flags
on the roofs of the factories did not
conform with this precept / realize
fully that Italy. as all the other Euro
Dean nations. will have now and then
some signs of economic unrest But
here viii never be revolution as an
outlet of the effects of that Great fe-
yer arising from the war. Every ma
ton is suffering. But the moral
sourdness and political calm of the
Italian neopIe exclude entirely the
possibility that Italy might be in
iect"d by revolutionary unrest"
The working people are not hol-
shevists." Signor Ricci went on. ITO
give you proof that work has been
resumed | will only say that in Octo-
Der. 1919. the number of unemploye ed
was II 47S. which in December, 1920,
came down to only 5.301."

POLES HUNGRY FOR PEACE
Demand Therefor Stronger Than
for Bread, Paderewski SAYS.

NEW YORK, February 19-Ignace
Jan Paderewski, former premier of
the republic of Poland. declares that
although the people in that country
are suffering from want of food. they
are more hungry for peace than for
bread The pianist diplomat arrived
in New York recently from Geneva,
where he served as Poland's pleni-
potentiary minister to the league of
nations.
Music is a closed chapter in my
iife, he told a group of newspaper
men. Il am afraid it is too late to
get back my former mastery over the
piano. You see. l am not spring
chicken any more, and l have not
prayed in nearly four years.
Perhaps some day l shall compose,
but art is now secondary object in
my life"
Paderewski said he would soon go
to California to rest for three or four
months before returning to Poland to
resume active participation in po-
litical and diplomatic affairs. His
mission in this country is almost en-
tirely to rest, of which he has had
none Since sailing from America

NJ. Brousse asserted that there had
oeen veritable pillage and wholesale
arrests, not only of soldiers but of
oncers, between the time negotia-
tions were commenced and the actual
transfer of the supplies to lnc
French
There were not more than twelve
arrests for thefts of stocks during
TINS tune, according to Maj. Warden.
VINO adds that the records on file
with the assistant chief of staff for
supplies at Washington will bear
MN out in his contention Only a
rev weeks, he declared, elapsed be-
tween the beginning of the negotia-
tionS and actual transfer
Thefts on Il large scale did occur
after the stocks were taken over by
the French. Maj. Warden added. and
the police records will prove this.
The French had comparatively few
men guarding the stocks, while the
Americans had more than 5000 men
on guard No member of the Amer
lean expeditionary force was permit
ted to take any of the supplies, said
Maj. Warden.
A careful search was made before

Warden added. The only automobiles
taken away were six which had been
used by Gen. Pershing. and possibly
six more, making a total of twelve
in all.
Such thefts as did occur after the
