The Chilean Steamship, Itata, 1900
tons, sank off the Chilean coast near
Coquimbo. All the passengers, mum.
bering 150, and the crew Of 72 were
lost. First reports reaching Santiago
Chile. were to the effect that the vess
sci was sinking rapidly, although no de-
tails were given.
The menace of war in the old world
mas suddenly appeared in two places.
The Kemalists have launched a big
offensive against the Greeks in Asia
Minor. in which ten divisions are par
t1cipating. An equally menacing stu
alton has developed with the mobiliza.
ton on the Austrian frontier of Jugo-
Slav forces, which are reported to be
preparing to march into Austrian terri
tory.
The ''drys" seem to have lost the
day in the Swedish prohibition plebis-
cite, according to the latest returns
available.
An American woman named Katha-
rine Gray, 81, has been arrested in
Munich, charged withswindling opera
tions by the police of Brussels.
Many deputies in the Mexican con
gress hope that at the coming session
or congress dry law modelled after
the Volstead law in the United States
VIII be enacted into law for Mexico.
The reparations commission met
again in Paris in an effort to reach
a unanimous agreement regarding the
German request for a moratorium on
her indemnity payments. At the end
of several hours of discussion, the Brit.
lsh and French viewpoints were wide
ly at variance, with the Italians and
Belgians merely trying to find some
one of number of proposals suggested
which would meet the ideas of France
and Great Britain.
with the gulf between France and
Great Britain as wide as ever the rep
aratlons commission is working des-
peratoly to find compromise plan
which will give Germany the economic
rellef she seeks and, at the same time,
prevent spit in the entente. France
wants Germany to pay in cold cash,
and England favors moratorium for

Y EFORE the senate passed the SOL
- dicrs' bonus bill 1t adopted two
important amendments. The first. Of
fcrcd by McNary Of Oregon, Rcpub
lican, provides for the appropriation Of
S35o'OOOO00 for the reclamation of arid
ana swamp lands to provide farms for
eN-service men. The second, by Sim
mons Of North Carolina, Democrat
provides that the interest on the for.
eign debt Shall be used TO pay the
bonus. Both Of these amendments
VIII make more dWicult the task Of
adjustment between the house and
sennte bills, and for this reason they
were supported by many senator's who
are avowcdly opposed to the bonus.
The Simmons amendment Is directly
contrary to the wishes OF the admins,
tration Ms expressed often by President
Harding and Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon. Probably the bill will be got
out of conference rs speedily as pos
sible. as the congressman who support
1t wish to reap the political benefits IN

Washington at this time is that presI.
dent Harding is likely to veto tho
measure.
