D ENITO MUSSOLINI, premier of
- Italy, believes he and his Fascist
government have proved so acceptable
to the country that it is no longer nee

held, probably in April, at which Mus

by returning him 20 power as premier.
There is no sign of organized opposi-

One of the largest auto theft rings
in the country is believed to have been
broken up by the arrest in San Ber-
nardinO, Cal, of c.. e. Eggers, wanted
in Veblin, S. D., for stealing autos
Eggers is being held at the Los An
geles county Jail awaiting his re-
moval to South Dakota.
Eleven members of the crew of the
steam schooner G. A. Smith of San
Francisco were drowned as result of
the wreck of the big ship near Coos
Bay, Ore. Captain Stromburg and six
members of his crew, including A. Le-
land, crippled wireless operator,
after clinging to the wreck, put off in
one of the ships boats and were
picked up by the tug Oregon.
John Looney was granted an appeal
to the Circuit Court of Appeals on ha-
beas corpus writ by United States Dis
trict Judge Orie L. Phillips in Santa
Fe, n. NJ The judge had denied the
writ, but counsel for Looney argued
that the rights of defendant had been
badly trampled upon and that no evil
dence had been introduced to show
that any automobile had been stolen.
Mrs. Adelaide Manola Hughes, wife
Of Rupert Hughes, author and film
director, hanged herself While on
board a steamer travelling down the
coast of Indo-China, according to first
details of her death received by the
husband in Los Angeles. That
Mrs. Hughes was mentally de-
ranged, suffering from a terrible
earache which influenced her to
take her life, was the advice con-
tanned in the cable dispatch, sent by
the Standard Oil Company official at
Haiphong, the little oriental village in
the French province, where the body
was removed from the boat.

+ INLESS another coalition govern
~ ment can be arranged, Great
Britain may find it necessary to hold
another parliamentary election in the
near future. In the new parliament,
which meets January s, neither of the
three parties will have majority.
After Prime Minister Baldwin had
talked with King George and the party
leaders had held many conferences, it
was announced that the Baldwin cabi-
net would continue until parliament
had assembled. About the same time
the Labor party chiefs announced that
they would undertake to form a gov
ernment if called upon, with Ramsay
Macdonald at the head. The prospect
is that soon after parliament meets
Macdonald will propose an amended
address to. the throne and that this
will be of such nature that the lib
erals cannot refuse to support it. This
would mean the overwhelming defeat
of the government and the immediate
resignation of the Baldwin cabinet,
followed by the summoning of Mac
Donald to form a new ministry. But
this, too, would be a minority govern
ment and could be ousted at any time
by combination of the conservatives
and liberals.

An agency dispatch received in Lon
don from Athens says that the king
and queen have left Athens for Ru-
mania without signing any DEGREES
and that Admiral KOundouriotis has
been appointed regent.
Rebel reinforcements have forced
the Obregon troops to withdraw from
the town of San Marcos on the rail-
road east of Mexico City, according
to newspaper accounts reaching Vera
Cruz from the fighting zone.
The belief that a dynastic crisis is
imminent in. Greece is expressed in
some quarters of Athens and the de-
parture of King George is regarded as
among the possibilities. The Repub-
licans are busily arranging demonstra-
tiOns in Athens and throughout Mace
dOnia and Thrace in favor of removing
the dynasty.
A mutiny of soviet Russian troops

CENSORSHIP of the news from
~ Mexico makes it difficult to learn
just how the revolt against President
Obregon's government is progressing.
If the information given out by the
rebels is correct, it is doing very well.
Indeed, it may be that Obregon will
have been overthrown before this
reaches the reader. Revolutionary
armies from various quarters were
moving on Mexico City last week, and
it was said De lao Huerta had an
nounced that he was in control of the
country and had begun appointing his
cabinet. However, the latest dis
patches at the time this is written say
Obregon has checked the rebel ad-
vance from the west. Gen. Angel
Flores dealt the rebellion a blow by
renouncing his candidacy for the pres
idency and casting in his lot with Obre-
gon, for he is believed to have the sup
port of Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Tamauli-
pas and the federal district. An upris-
ing of the Yaqui Indians probably was
squelched by the execution Of their
chieftain.

CHAMBER FAV0RS.
MORE IMMIGRANTS
Commerce Body Would Per-
NIT Increase Under Presi-
dents Selection.

Increase by . per cent of the present
3 per cent limit on immigration. with
extension of authority to the President
TO regulate the admission of the addi-
tiona1 immigrants on the basis of social
and economic needs, is favored by the
immigra ton committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
The plan proposes that the per cent
limitation be retained, but that the
practicabiity of regulating immigration
on a selective rather than a restrictive
basis be tested.
The committee also suggests that, by
spreading information in the Nordlc
countries of Europe about opportunities
in the United States, the flow or I'M
migration from those sections. which
have not exhausted the per cent
quotas, might be increased.
The committee recommends that the
proposed SelectiVe requirements gov
erning admission of the additional :
per cent should include tests of the
physical, mental and moral sutatlllty.
as well as the question of the need OF
immigrants of a particular kind. ana
that the standards should be higher
for those admitted under the selectire
process than the standards now OBJ
tanning or those that shall continue TO
obtain for the per cent quotas.
