Near East Fixers

Paris, March 25.-The allied for
eign ministers, who are discussing
Near Eastern questions here, are
trying to plug the news leaks in their
own delegations after the publica-
ton yesterday of accounts of their
differences over the disposition of the
Armenians in Asia Minor. .-..
The Marquis Curzon, British for
eign secretary, is reported to have
complained emphatically to Premier
Poincare against such matters be.
coming public. M. Poinchre sum-
moned before the cabinet a newspa-
per man, who refused the sources Of
his information, but absolved the
French delegation.
Lord Curzon is then said to have
asked M. Poincare for protection
against French press methods" f"
whereupon the French foreign Off
cials examined another reporter. He
was as secretive as the first, howev-
er, so the foreign ministers finally
decided the only means Of preventing
publication of confidential matters
would be to keep the members Of
their delegations from talking.

when all search for them, was prac-
tically abandoned and Miami was
awaiting the arrival of boats sent out
to bring Robert Moore, the only sur
viving member of the party of six,
into Miami to tell what he knows of
the disaster.
Those who, it is now believed, lost
their lives are Mr.. and Mrs. Law

nouncing that Robert Moore, the pi-
lot of the missing airship. had been
picked up at sea and that he was in
an unconscious condition.

rescue or the trouble which overlook
the ill-fated plane. 1t is presumed
by airmen, who have taken part in
the two-day search, that engine trou-
BILE forced the Miss Miami down
shortly after sh cleft here. Appar-
emily it drifted hundred miles or
more to the north in the gulf stream
before sighted by the William

to cling to what was left of it.

FAMINE EMPHASIZED IN
DEMAND FOR FOOD, NOT
FLOWERS FOR ARTISTS
(By Associated Press)

Odessa, March 25-Presents of
wood, bread, or meat are more well
come than flowers to Odessa's grand
opera singers. Among the gifts to
the orchestra conductor ofthe famous
playhouse at a recent benefit in honor
of his twenty five years service, was
twenty five pounds offrewood. The
singers receive salaries the best of
which, 100000 rubles monthly, will
pay for only a pound and a half of
bread daily.
Many of the best singers have left,
but there are still thirty five princi-
pals, with a chorus and ballet. Sew
eral performances week are given.
Many of the seats are free, and box
for six persons costs only the equiv
alent of twenty five cents.
Madame Marie de Ribes, colora-
tura soprano, has contracted tuber-
culosis, but frequently sings leading
roles. She is a granddaughter of the
General de Ribas, who was delegat-
ed by Catherine the Great in 1894 to
build a city here.
The voice of M. Kanchan, we'll
known as a tenor, has recently
changed to baritone, due to nervous
ness growing out of lack of food His
salary is $4,000 rubles day, the
price of a half pound of bread.

COLLINS WILL GO
! 70 LONDON FOR A
ROW WITH GEORGE
Ulster Premier Silent as
to Attitude of That
Salient
BELFAST CRIME SHOCKS
More Murders and Re-
prisals Feared by the
Populace
my Associsaed Press,

London, March 25-Michael Col
Inns, head Of the provisional Irish free
state government, was reported as
preparing to leave Dublin for London
this morning in response to the i'm.
perial governments invitation to a
discussion of the situation growing
out of the recent grave events in
Ireland.
Nothing had been heard from Sir
Craig, Ulster premier, who was also
requested to come, except the state
ment overnight that he had not yeyt
received the governments message.
1t was assumed, however, that he
would be on hand for the conference
which, it is hoped, will bring forth
some means of restoring order.
The invitation asked the heads of
the two Irish governments to bring
with them such colleagues as theyy
might deem necessary parties to the
discussions. The London morning pa
pers comment at length on the sit
uation, especially expressing horror
at the savage murders in Belfast of
five members of the family of Owen
MacMahon. They term the tragedy
the worst massacre in Ireland since
Dublin gunner slaughtered fourteen
British officers there in November,
1920.
Latest reports from Belfast say
the crime has profoundly shocked
the conscience of every decent element
Of the city, and it is feared more mur-
ders will occur as reprisals.
] Some of the newspapers which in
nowise condone the outrages COM
mitted by southern extremists and
contend that the north has given much
provocation, roundly denounce the
continuance of violence in Belfast.
They are disposed to hold the north
em government responsible to
great extent for having, as they say,
failed to exercise sufficient repress-
i've measures.

Just How Passengers
Met Thear Fate Yet
Unknown
(Ry Associated Pressl

Miami, Marcn 25-Pilot Robert
Moore, of the seaplane Miss Miami,
was brought to the hospital here this
morning and it is feared that the
exposure he was subjected to will be
fatal. He is still delirious. Accord
ing to disconnected story which he
told during lucid intervals the pro-
pellor on the craft he was plotting,
broke shortly after leaving Miami.
The boat, he said, settled in the gulf
steram. All during Wednesday night
the passengers were fairly comforta-
BILE, the ship floated easily until
Thursday morning when the hull be-
gan to leak as result of striking
some submerged objest.
Moore said that the passengers
took turns at bailing out the water
until all became exhausted, and one
woman, which one Moore could not
say, jumped overheard Thursday
night A man who he thought was
her husband, leaped after her and
both disappeared. Their fate, he
said, depressed the other passengers.
Moore said that following this the
remaining two women tainted and he
held them in his arms seven and a
half hours, when both died of exhaus-
tion. He then let them fall into the
water.
Following the death of the two
women only Moore and the one man
was left. He does not know which of
the passengers the remaining survi-
vor was. On Friday morning, Moore
said, wave capsized the plane and
he and his onlyy remaining passen-
ger climbed on top of the wreckage
and Moore tied himself to it for fear
he would become unconscious and fall
off. The passenger, Moore said, re-
alizing that death was not far away
took his valuables from his pocket,
gave them to Moore and dropped off
into the water,

League of Nations
May Take Control
Over Dardanelles
(By Associated Press,

Paris, March 25-The League of
Nations is likely to be asked to take
control of the Dardanelles, it has be-
come known despite the secrecy with
which the allied foreign ministers
have veiled their deliberations here.
The rivalry between France and Great
Britain in the near east and the con-
stant friction which has existed be-
tween them at Constantinople are
pointed to in international political
circles here as showing the practical
impossibility of applying any scheme
of Observation-Disclosures to the straits
that would suit all the allies.
For the reason Premier Poincair,
the Marquis Curzon, British foreign
secretary, and the Italian foreign
minister, M. Schanzer, have discussed
the eventuality of asking the league
to relieve them of this burden.
