More Dangerous as Prisoner
Than as Fugitive, London
Press Believes

London, Aug. 16.-While the Irish
Free State has many friends in Eng
land the same cannot be said of
Eamonn DeValera. The London press
wastes no sympathy on him or his
loss Of liberty.
On the other hand there is no at.
tempt to congratulate the men who
captured him for in his arrest De-
Valera's captors have set problem
before them which may cost them
dearly. -n,. ~.
The opinion here is that DeYalera
was less dangerous to the Free State
as fugitive than as q, prisoner. 1t
is believed that his detention will
surely provoke reprisals and
strengthen his election campaign.
Dispatches from Ireland indicate
nothing as to the probable treatment
of the prisoner but it seems to be as
sumed in Dublin that he will mot be
prosecuted merely being held in in.

 And whereas tic traffic in those liquors Is opposed to the best interests of the nation:
 And whereas all legislative and other efforts satisfactorily to, regulate this traffic have failed:" and then proposes that 1t shall be enacted.

LONDON PREPARES FOR
 BIG CROP OF TOURISTS
100000 Americans Expected to Be only Vanguard of Pleasure Seek
 CTS This Summer.

London. April i3,--England is mak- Ing piana to entertain more Ameri- can tourists this summer than in any similad period in recent times.
 The vanguard estimated at 100, 1000 to see the Duke of York's+ wedding from the sidelincs. will be only a forerunner of a veritable army of pleasure seekers. which before the summer is spent Is expected to num- Der at least 100000. Judging from the spending propensities of Ameri- can tourists in previous years. this summers delegation Is expected to spend at least s10o.000,00o. Whereas three years ago 10 per cent of the American tourists disembarked at Southampton or other English ports, and 60 per cent landed at Cherbourg and other continental ports, the Eng fish tourist statisticians are now boosting that the ratio has been more than reversed in favor of the British Isles. Everything is being done by British hotel keepers and other pro- fessional entertainers not only to maintain that lead over continental attraction, but even to increase 1t,
 Besides installing thousands of Am erican soda fountains for the benefit of those with yolsteadian thirsts, the English are importing ever increas- ing numbers of American jazz band musicians to play for American danc. CTS.
 There are now more American jazz musicians in London. according to the statement of a prominent London hotel official, than in any other three European capitals combined. In fact. the influx of American musicians has reached such stage that there have been numerous protests against al- lowing alien musicians to enter Eng land in the face of so much upem- ploYment.

WOMEN EXCEL MEN
Experience of Carnegie Trust for Scotland Universities Shows Who Has Higher Moral Sense.

Has Higher Moral Sense.
 London. April 13.--The answer to the question of whether women have higher moral sense than men will be found in the affirmative if the ex- perience of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland is taken as a deciding factor. The Trust un- dertakes to provide funds for stu dents wishing to enter colleges. and though they are under no obligation they are expected to repay what money, they can.
 Sir David Prain, at. a recent meet ing ,tYt: the trustees, said that the numhers .of women students who re- paid theH fees during 1922 was con- sideEably, larger than the number of men.
 Lsstsyeaf s9 former students re- paid ,1,3s7 pounds to the fund, make ing the total amount repaid 12.50o pounds. or one and a third per cent of Athe money advanced.
 It was brought out at the commit tee meeting that pre-war conditions had so far returned as to justify the committee in reducing the value of the annual scholarships from 200 pounds to 150 pounds.

SCOTT AT OCCULT
 THEORY OF DEATH.
British Press Sees Nothing Strange in CarnarYon's Demise

London. April 1s. (By Associated Press).--The untimely death of tho Earl of Carnarvon before he could reap the full harvest of his Egyptian discoveries appeals deeply to popular sympathy here. and many apprecia- tive editorial and obituary notices ap- pear in the press today.
 These articles emphasize among other things the loss which Egyptol- ogy has suffered in the death of the man who brought to 1t energy, enter prise and wealth.
 Scum at Occult Theories
 The newspapers deprecate what all sober commentators regard as the foolish suggestion that malign occult influences contributed to the enrl's death. All tho dispatches from Cairo agree essentially to his illness and its cause. No statement by physicians has been received and inasmuch as there seems to be nothing unusual to report none is expected.
 The late earl's friends here, believe that his health suffered from his &C., tivitles connected with .he work at King Tutankhamen's tomb. To this were added the excitement and, worry following the great discovery with the result that he became weakened physically and was therefore less able to resist the attack Of illness that proved fatal.
 Carnarvon Is credited with having said recently that he was ''woryjei to death" by the countless telegrams, let ters and requests of all Kinds from archaeologists and learned societies.
 Had Many Relics
 The disposition of the late earrs rare collection of antiques at his country seat has already become question of public interest. Recogniz- cd as one of the most important col Jections in the world, the Carnarvon treasures include many rare relics of all periods. several of which were purchased at very high prices. The gem of the collection is said to be a portrait statuette of Thothmes III which ,.ls found in Egypt during the
 
 paid some thousands of pounds for the little treasure. It is about seven inches in height and is made of solid gold. It dates back to approximately 1850 B. C.
 Whether the earl disposed of his collection in his will is unknown but the hope is expressed that he may have bequeathed it to the nation. The possibility of it being sold, is also suggested.
 The public knows little of Lord Portchester the new Earl of Carnar- von beyond the fact that he is m off. cer in cavalry regiment and that he is reputed to be a skilful horserlan. With his succession to the title ar- other American peeress comes into British society but 1t is not 'i;nown whether her husband will return to his duties in India or will retire to en- joy his new rank.
