Trying to Strike a Bargain
With Foreign Ships 70 Settle
Rum Controversy.
By GEORGE e. DURNO,
InterratlOnaI News Service.

To eliminate some Of the en-
harrassment and difficulties incl
dent to the enforcement OF the
Supreme Courts dry seas ruling,
the United States Government is
prepared to negotiate an agree.
ment with the principal maritime
nations of the world under which
Hquor could be brought into
American ports under seal if these
nations agree to extend the pres
ent three-nnile limit to twelve
miles, it was learned officially to-
day.
Proposals Already Made.
Informal proposals looking to
such an international agreement or
treaty have already been made to
Great Britain, France and other
nations by the State Department,
but Congressional legislation to
clarity certain parts Of the national
prohibition act, will be necessary
before the plans of the Administra-
ton may be carried into effect.
!. Government officials hold that
Congress did not intend, in passing
the Volstead Act, to go any further
than to prohibit the importation of
Intoxicating liquor for domestic
consumption, and the Administra-
ton Is ready to ask that the law
be so amended that ocean liners
may come into American ports with
Aquor aboard SO long as the intoxi-
cants are not used or sold while
the vessels are within the legal
Jurisdiction of the United States.
The original proposal of this
Government for the extension Vt
the three-mile limit met with a
polite refusal from Great Britain,
but Administration officials now
hold that the United States has an
excellent opportunity to make a
''trade" that will prove of benefit
in the fight against rum-runners
off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
Rum RatiOns Big Question.
The question of liquor rations for
the crews of foreign vessels has not
yet been touched upon in the pre-
1iminary negotiations, it is under
stood. This matter, admittedly one
of the major points of difference
might be handled in the proposed
treaties which would go to the Sen
ate for ratification, or might also
be made the subject of an appeal
to ngress for interpretative
amendments Of the National Pro
hibiiton Act, ..t ...,
The proposed arrangement, Off
Gals held, contemplates no change
in international law nor extension
of boundaries, being aimed only a.
the suppression of illegal entry anC
Illicit traffic. No hardship would
be worked on legitimate foreign
trade, towering" vessels being tn,
only ships affected.
Officials, in making known this
latest step, declared that the United
States has no desire for a serious
controversy with the other worlC
powers. The present embarrassing
situation, occasioned by the Su
preme Court ruling, grew up owe
night almost without discussion
and was clearly the result of I
slight oversight on the part o
Congress In enacting American DIR!
laws

Vienna and Belgrade have been
the chief sources Of Bulgarian re-

One Vienna dispatch said the chief
of police at Sofia refused to turn
over his office and was shot down.
Later fighting broke out in Sofia
during which machine guns were
employed. The Agrarians were over
powered and dispersed.
A Central News dispatch said

GULF STREAM INFLUENCE
MAKES IT MOST IMPORTANT

BY far the most important and wei
known of the great ocean currents de.
rivcs its name from the Gulf of Mex.
leo out of which it flows between
Cuba an the Bahamas on the one
side and the Florida Keys on the
other. In its narrowest portion the
Gulf Stream is about so miles wide,
and there it has a velocity at times
of as much as five miles an hour.
Flowing in a north -easterjy direction
along the American coast it gradually
Uidens and its velocity diminishes.
Reaching the Banks of Newfoundland
it turns and sweeps across the At
lsntic; then, dividing into two portions
it sends one down toward the Azores
and the coast of Morocco while the
other passes near the British Isles
and on to Norway When If energies
from the Gulf of Mexico it has tenn
perature of 81 in summer, higher
than that of the ocean at the equator
BY the time it reaches the mid-At-
1antic it is only IA degrees lower. The
effect of this stream on the climate
of the British Isles and Norway is to
raise the winter temperature about
so degrees above what it would be in
these ATTITUDES.

Information Seeker So Thorough In
Her Work That She Learned

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Aug. Is. - If
Danitza Androlitch had been content
to do her spy work quietly and with b.

be still at liberty, and still of use to
her employers. But she must have
tired of the lack of excitement at

Danitza is a Croatian woman, and

before the Serbian chief of staff of this
Croatian capital and offered her ser
vices to secure and sell him Italian
military information. The chief lis
tened to her tale, but was not im-
pressed, So little did he like Danitza
that he detailed two of his men to
watch the woman night and day until
they got something on her.
Eventually it was reported to the
chief that Danitza had sent out of the
country, and to Italian agents, it was

COAT SLEEVE BUTTONS
y. WHY THERE AND THREE

Why are there buttons on mems
coat sleeves? In the United States
these buttons are purely for orna-
ment. and extending from each is an
imitation buttonhole. In England the
tailor actually works the buttonholes.
and the opening of the sleeve has a
flap and is really buttoned. A Kansas
City tailor asserts that the fashion. a
century or two ago. of having long
cuffs of lace was partly responsible.
When one was doing anything but
making bows, the lace cuffs interfered
and the tailors put the buttons on to
fasten the cuffs back Another the
DRY is that a certain English king,
having equipped his soldiers uni
forms with beautiful lace cuffs. found
the men were using the latter for
handkerchiefs and ordered buttons to
be put on the sleeves SO that the SOL
diers would scratch their noses if
they attempted to make this i'm
proper use of the lace. When the
lace disappeared, the tailors forgot TO
take the buttons off, and they have
remained ever since.

upon the distressing outlook in the

Having in mind the distressing

Is almost incomprehensibe to think
of the possibility of another coal

II am not opposed to the miners
seeking an adjustment of the wage
contract 80 that they will get good
days pay for good days work in
keeping with the American standard
of living, but a settlement of the con-
troversy which will force the price of
anthracite skyward and out of the
reach of the people of moderate
means would not be a satisfactory set
tlement. The consumer might just
as we'll be without anthracite. at all
If the price is to be put SO high that
he cannot afford to buy it. There
must be happy medium upon which
both sides can agree. and which will
be fair to the general public.
President Coolidge. coming from
an anthracite using state, has taken
hold of the situation in a business
like manner. for which he has the re-
spect and commendation of the peo-
pie, and I hope he will soon make
both operators and miners realize that
there is a greater interest than their
own involved in this controversy-the
interest and we'll being of the people
