Rare Find in English church.

After three centuries of conceal-
ment behind plaster and rubbish, the
remains Of Fourteenth century
stained-glass window have been dis
coved ut Chelsea (England) Old
church. The old glass, which r. of
immense value, was found between lay
ers of soft plaster behind a mass Of
old bricks. In one window only a frag-
ment of a border was found, but in the
other a panel two feet by two was
brought to llgh,. The panel Is nearly
complete, the head Of the hgure-ap-
parently that Of St. Lawrence or st.
Stephens missing. The glass seems
to be of a date not later than the mid
die of the Fourteenth century. With
the exception of Westminster abbey,
there is no London church with ito
own glass OF so early a date

MO VICTORY could be more COM
~ plete than that won by the Fas-
Cisti in their peaceful revolution in
Italy. They are now in absolute con-
lrol of the government and their
chief, Benito MuSsolini, is premier
and minister of foreign affairs and of
the interior. Giolitti declined the
premiership so Mussolini at the invi-
tation of the king took the place and
promptly announced the new cabinet.
Most of its members belong to the
Fascist, but several places are given
60 the Nationalist, one to the Demo-
Gratis and one to the Catholic party.
From all over the country the Black
Shirts fiocked to Rome where 100000
of them paraded before the king and
premier, and then, at the order of
their leaders, they dispersed to their
homes to resume their vocations
Italy seems to have supreme conf
dence in Mussollni, believing that he
will put an end to the conflicts of po-
litical factions that have sadly
hindered its development during the
last three years and that under his
rule economic prosperity will be re-
stored, He is young, vigorous and I'M
pretentious and already has buckled
do to hard work. Once he was a
Revolutionary Socialist and was ex-
PEELED from Switzerland and from
what was then the Austrian Tyrol.
But he broke with his old associates
when in his paper, Popolo Italia, he
urged Italy to enter the war on the
side of the allies. To the world at
large the victory of Mussolini and his
Fascist Is most important because It
was a victory over the Communists,
radical Socialists and Reds gener-
ally. These forces of disruption and
disorder were so badly whipped that
the Communist party in Italy has an
nounced Its own dissolution, which
presumably means that the Commun-
lst deputies will resign from the
chamber.
Mussolni, denying that his pro-
gram has any chauvinistic plans,
said: "Italy needs peace at home as
well as abroad. | never believed in
bellicose attitude, and therefore no
clash is possible between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia or any other power. We
want to prove that our sole ambition
Is to make the country a true friend
toward friends and of people strong,
fair and laborlous people worthy
TO live alongside the greatest nations"
Nevertheless Jugo-Slavia was great
~ excited by Mussolini's triumph and
talked wildly Of mobilization and war.

by observers" We were invited to
full participation, but Secretary
Hughes declined, stating:
"The conference proposed for the pur-
pose Of drawing up a treaty Of peace
with Turkey will have primarily to
deal with the problems resulting from
the state of billigerency between the
allied powers, Turkey, and Greece.
The United States was neither at war
with Turkey nor party to the armis-
tice of 1918, and does not desire to
participate in the final peace negotia-
tions or to assume responsibility for
the political and territorial adjust
ments which may be effected"
At the same time Mr.. Hughes said
his observers would keep watch over
the disposition of certain subjects of
particular American concern"
Soviet Russia was invited to take
part In that portion of the conference
which has to do with the Dardanelles,
and while she is indignant at the lin
itation, she probably will accept.

IN Dor board rendered a majority
opinion rejecting 1.-The living wage"
theory advanced by spokesman for
railway unions. If given strict appli-
cation 1t would give common laborers
a minimum wage Of about 70 cents an
hour and as a step toward this the
maintenance of way men asked a 49,
cent minimum. The labor board, in
creasing the prevailing rate cents

from % to 81 cents an hour. 1t was
in connection with this decision that
the living wage opinion was given,
the board asserting that the wage
theory of labor if given application
"would wreck every road, and If ex-
tended to other industries, would car
~ them into communistic ruin" Sam
uel Gompers, Edsel Ford and William
Randolph Hearst all assailed this
view. Their attacks rolled Ben w.
Hooper, chairman Of the board. and
he retaliated with a singing state
ment. He gave Mr.. Gompers credit
for sincerity, marveled at the attitude
Of the Hearst papers and poked fun
at young Ford He continued:
zone Of the expert economists who
presented the matter TO the board for
the employees stated that this would
throw a monkey wrench into the in
dustrial machinery and that the
theoretical living wage should not be
established all at once, but the mini

hour This would likewise create a
deficit of several hundred million dob

fected the 10000 Texans who voted
