Washington, Oct. 31.-Mrs. Cor

the late Theodore Roosevelt, is
sued through republican headquar-

women Of the country to vote for
republican nominees for the sem

President Harding has consci-

sons statement. Some people say
he has failed to take steps to form
an association of nations, which
he declared it was his desire to
have. The people who feel that
way have not read with care the
results of the conference held last
November for the limitation of ar
maments. That conference alone
has done more for the possibility
of peace amongst the nations OF
the world than the league of ma

CHOSEN BY NEW
ITALIAN LEADER
Comprises a Body of Men
Who Were Prominent in
the. War: New Premier
Believes in Expansion.

Rome, Oct. 81 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Whatever the out
come may be when the new Mus
solini cabinet goes before the
chamber of deputies, there is
general agreement that the new
premier has gathered about him
a cabinet exceptionally strong
from the nationalist standpoint,
comprising a body of men who
were leaders of Italy in the great
war and the outstanding protago-
nists for Italy's territorial claims
in peace. .t
Mussolini brings with his min
istry a we'll defined foreign policy,
the cornerstone of which Is ex-
pansion. The fascist party, since
its inception a year ago, has al
ways preached the extension of
Italy's territorial claims.
Mussolini himself has declared
that the Mediterranean is an Ital-
ian lake and he advocates COM
plete control of that waterway by
Italy. The claim of Greece for
the Dodecanese islands was al
ways bitterly contested in fascist
councils.
Total reputation of all soviets
has been a constant cry among
fascist,
In the domestic policy the aims
of the fascist have not been so
clearly defined. Indeed, it has
been constantly maintained by
their opponents that they have no
domestic policy. One thing, how
ever, has stood pre-eminent in all
their domestic actions, namely.
their hostility to the extreme So
cialists and communists.
They have defiantly fought the
strike in any form. Wherever
and whenever strikes have been
declared they have strained every
effort to keep industry going.
Communism has been rendered
almost HELPLESS IN Italy by the
onslaught of fascistism.

An early morning fire broke out in
the women's quarters of the gov

maids quarters had to leap from
their bedroom windows, eighteen
feet to the ground in order to es-

but the nurses Red Cross building

Scores of women from all the
closely grouped buildings fled from
their quarters in the scantiest at

from a dietitian Halloween party

running about panic stricken.
The fire was discovered at 1:40

started from a defective nue.
The little that was saved from
the burning building was carried
out by patients from the infirmary
wards, who were the first on the
scene. Lifting any article what

various departments of the Mexican

determine how far President OBJ

business firms would affect their
Mexican business.
Most of the firms furniahing
steel and roalroad supplies to the
Mexican government have only
local offices here. Officials of oil

headquarters here refused to COM

received from Mexico City official
confirmation of the governments

business with Mexicans as lndlvi-

"I can no longer remain silent in

that If this woman had been able

This attempt to make it appear
to the worl that Margaret threw
herself upon this man and that he
tried to demonstrate with her and
lead her into spiritual paths has
goaded me into expression.
II wonder did his reverence

only a friendly and ministerial in

written letters to Margaret Daven-

Let il be well understood that
in making this statement l intend
to cast not the slightest reflection
or condemnation upon my wife, for
no one knows as well as I do the
influence which this man held
over her and which could reason
ably be termed hypnotism. Pray
tell me Il ti1fs minister had prac-

espoused from the altar why this
influence which he had over her
was not utilized to save her from
this infatuation, Pray tell me WHY
1t was necessary for him to seek
her out in Chicago and else where?

she confessed it to me. will not
further violate her confidence, but
do want to state unqualifledly

that this preacher had led her to

tion OF national committee for
the defense of the federal water

tonight by Philip P. Wells, former
chief law officer of the United
States forestry service. who, in n
formal statement called upon all

ceptance by congress of the pro.
posal by Henry Ford to take over

would be violation of the basic
principles of the act which was
Is years in congress before enact

Congress Criticised.
Mr.. Wells statement crticises
congress for giving "a vast amount
Of time" to the discussion of the
Ford proposal while declining to
take up the very simple legisla-
tion" which would correct zone
weakness In the law = make il
possible for the water power COM
mission to use some of its approp-
ration for employment of experts
The Ford contract would give him
"a vast subsidy" according to the
statement, in addition to establish
ing precedents for leasing privi-
leges. .
IF this (the Ford) proposal
were accepted" says the statement,
every corporation which has. or
desires, water power privilege
would demand a lease on Mr..
Ford's terms; and how could they
be denied? The acceptance of his
offer would be deadly blow to

include the large group of inter-
ests which are the main investors

Those interests, according to the
statement, "admit chat the law is
practicable and are willing to de-
velop power under its provisions.
Inasmuch as under the law the
federal government controls APP
proximately IS per cent of the

be promptly met, in order that de-
velopment may not be thwarted.
