TWO STEAMERS
IN COLLISION

Constantinople, Nov. 25.-tBy the
Associated Press. Two thousand
Christian orphans and two Amer
ican relief workers were imperiled
this morning when the steamship
Belgravian, chartered by the near
east relief, collided with the trans
Atlantic liner, New York. at the
western entrance of the Bosphorus.
Allied ships reported that many
children had been painfully injured,
but no lives were lost. Doctors
and nurses were sent from here to
attend the injured. The New York
carried no passengers.
Reports declare panic reigned
among the children. The impact
tore away the bridge and foremast
of the Belgravian and smashed the
lifeboats. Two American relief
workers were abroad.

EXECUTION OF
CHILDERS NOT
YET DESCRIBED
Place and Manner of
Death Are Not
t Made Public.

London, Nov. 25.-A Cork dis
patch to the Daily Mail says the
Corporation meeting was adjourned
last evening because of the execu-
ton of Erskine Childers. Young
women in the galleries began to
speak on the protest against the
execution but the members of the
Corporation left without listening.
The correspondent adds that am
bushing of soldiers continues in
southern Ireland. The people re-
gard the execution as necessary.
The place and manner Of the exc
cution of Erskine Childers had not
been officially ANNOUNCED today.
The Dublin Express quotes state
ment by the republican publicity
department, that after Childers had
been told the execution was to take
place, he requested to see a Prot
estant clergyman whom he had
known as boy. The minister was
with him when he walked to his
execution.
No Condemnation.
AC CASNuliOA VI AAAlucIS uIdWS
no editorial condemnation in the
London morning newspapers today.
Everywhere there is recognition OF
Childers' ability and courage, and
the Obituaries and editorials alike
depIore that Ills life had such an
ending.
Aside from the Times, comment
is practically confined to the liberal
papers, which have the strongest
champions of Irish autonomy and
the Free State. Thee Chronicle
calls Childers the enemy of Ireland
and the author of cruel methods
employed against his adopted
country.
The Daily News pays tribute to
Childers' sincerity and ability. The
Westminster Gazette says:
ITO most people Childers will re-
main a man, who by some pitiable
perversity, had been driven mad by
quarrel which was not even his
own" ...-

DRY LAW IS
BIG PUZZLE
IN AMERICA
a} = '9tl45s =
Prohibition Mess Worse
Than Ever, Lawrence
Says.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.

Washington, D. c., xNov. 25.-
The prohibition mess is getting
worse than ever. Nobody is salts
fed with the present situation
neither vets nor drys. President
Harding's announcement that the
cabinet had discussed the entire
subject and that an appeal to the
conscience OF the American people
on the subject of law enforcement
is pending constitutes the first di-
rect result Of the last election. The
significance of Mr.. Harding's S
course in bringing the matter to
public attention at this time is a
realization that the machinery OF
enforcement is not only inadequate
but ineffective without a sympa-
thetic public sentiment. Many of
the foes of prohibition argued
again and again that law in
volving the morals of the country
ought not be put ON the statute
books until sentiment is practically
unanimous. Experience with Ii
quor laws in the several states for
a generation has proved that pub
lie sentiment makes a law effective
or a dead letter according as the
people choose.
Law Is Nullified.
The federal government is aware
that in many states public senti-
ment has virtually nullified the
law. Dry leaders are constantly
urging the government to do some
thing about it. Recent elections in
the so-called wet states have made
matters even worse. How much
enthusiasm for instance have the
state officials in New Jersey for
law enforcement when the state
voted for a wet candidate by a big
majority? And how discouraging
is the task of the federal officials
who realize that they haven't the
! moral support of the local authori-
ties. After all the police powers
of the nation are vested ih the
states and cities and even the most
ardent friend Of prohibition will
concede that without the support
Of the states the federal govern
ment faces an almost hopeless task
in Kidding the country Of boot
.legger The constitutional
amendment contemplated concur
rent jurisdiction of the states and
the federal government. 1t was
hoped that both would be exerted
for the enforcement of the law.
But some states have by one means
| or another shirked their tasks
Massachusetts, in the last election
voted against a bill to help the
federal government enforce prohi-
fbition. The movement in the vet
! states is not at present aimed to
secure q return Of the salocn-the
loutcry is for liberalization.

RUMOR CHAPLIN
AND POLA NEGRI
ARE BETROTHED
Famous Film, Coined.
ian Won't Affirm
or Deny.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 25.-A
story published today By the Los
Angeles Times that report of the
engagement Of Charlie. Chaplin,
motion picture comedian. ta lPola
Negri, Polish screen traeedienne,
was current among the Hollywood
studios, was neither denied nor
confirmed by Chaplin, while Miss
Negri denied herself to interview
ers. The report was said to have
kept the studios excited for three
weeks and the remainder of Holly
wood talking for several days.
The comedian is said to have met
the tragedienne first when he tour
ed Europe more than a year ago, and
since Miss Negri came to Los An
geles for film work recently, Chap
lin is reported to have been in her
company as often as the conven-
tons permitted.
Chaplin told newspaper men any
announcement must come from
Miss Negri.
Can't Say @Yes- or @No."
Il can't say yes he declared
"And II I said no." think OF the
position it would put her in."
Chaplin is native of England and
was music hall comedian in Lon
don before entering motion picture
work. Miss Negri is a Polish coun-
tess.
According to the Times. Madame
Negri cancelled an engagement to
give a representative of that news
paper an interview when she re-
ceived intimation OF the subject he
wished to discuss.
The Chaplin-Negri romance. the
paper continues, had its beginning
when Chaplin toured Europe last
year"
And when Negri recently arrived
here and met Chaplin she was said
to have exclaimed:
This is what l have looked for
ward to ever since I started"
~Almost Inseparable"
They are said to have been "al-
most inseparable", since she reach
ed Los Angeles.
When the Times reporter sought
to reach the actress to ask her
about her reported engagement to
the comedian, personal represent
ative said:
"She hit the ceiling when the
subject Of the talk was mentioned y
Chaplin was reached and inter
rogated with considerable diff
Guilty. After at first declining to
discuss his PERSONAL affairs, he
said:
II can't say yes Any such an
nouncement must of necessity come
from her. She is gentlewoman
and a foreigner. Don't you see!
She does not understand American
ways in affairs of this kind. She
would resent my making a. state
ment. And if said 'no'-just look
at the position in which that would
put her."
sNo Crime" Says Charlie.
Later Chaplin commented:
Marriage is no crime"
The comedian is said to have
moved recently from a small cot
tage into a house Of many rooms
and to be occupying it alone.
There have been many reports
in the last year that he was to re.
marry. He was formerly the hus
band Of Mildred Harris, screer
actress.
