Austrian Men Hit

By Wireless to The Star and Philadelphia Pub

By Wireless to The Star and Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. Copyright, 1923.
VIENNA, October "a Vienna
newspaper today launched vehe-
ment protest against Prof. Stein
acb's attempts to rejuyenate old
women, on the ground that the
women of Austria already exceed
ed the men by 128 per 1000 and
that they are 40 per cent more nu-
merous in Germany and Russia.
Rumania Is the only European
country where the men outnumber
the women.
The paper declares that literally
thousands of women are now sub
jecting themselves to X-ray treat
ments calculated to restore their
youthful good looks and vigor and
asks where the world will end II
women never die off. The paper
draws comfort from the reflection
that the x-ray methodis far from
perfect and that few patients ac-
tually achieve the desired re5uve-

EUROPE WAR NEAR,
LORD GREY WARNS
Arbitration Seen Only Way to
Peacefully Blamed in
Greek Dispute.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, ,October 9.-Lord Grey,
whose voice has been raised pro-
phetically so many times in the past.
again is heard through the medium
of letter published in today's Lon
don Times, warning Europe that
another war is imminent unless the
various states agree to settle their
disputes by the just decisions OF an
impartial authority.
He uses the Italo-Greek incident as
the basis for a ringing appeal for
support of the league of nations and
respect for treaties. After relating
the bare details of Italy's action in
| bombarding and occupying Corfu, he
says:
Urges Support of League.
"The maintenance Of civilized re-
lations between states depends upon
the keeping of treaties, just as the
| maintenance of civilized elations be-
tween individuals depends upon the
keeping of contracts. Many of us
believe that unless the league of ma
tions is used and supported there
is no prospect of peace in Europe.
TT seems clear that the covenant
of the league has been broken by
Italy and that a serious, perhaps
fatal, blow has been dealt the league.
In Italy, apparently. none believes
that this view of the Importance of
| treaties can be held from any motive
but .unreasoning hostility to Italy,
or from a mean calculation of ma
terial interests" - s.
Lord Grey attacks the decision of
the ambassadors council awarding to
Italy 100000 lire as unjust, and or
dered not because Greece had incur
red the penalty, but to preserve the
payment in the debased coin of in
Justice.
Seeks Accord with France.
Only one thing. he says, could have
prevented this unjust decision. That
was close j. cooperation between
France and England which. unfortu-
nately, was lacking. He closes with
an appeal, quite evidently aimed at
the imperial conference, for re-
newed understanding with France as
the only remaining means of preserv-
ing democratic government for pos
terity.
BY reaffirming the British point of
view regarding occupation of the
Ruhr, Lord Grey evidently Is seeking
to influence France toward a new
consideration of partial or complete
withdrawal from the Industrial area
of Germany. His appeal undoubtedly
will greatly affect the attitude of the
dominion premiers now in London, as
they, like all Britishers. hold in high
est respect the views of the outstand-
ing elder statesman. He speaks at a
critical moment when the imperial
conference is debating the question
of foreign policy and is, perhaps, on
the verge of taking the gravest de-
cision made by the British empire
since the declaration of war in 1914

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, October o.
Word was received today at the Office
of the chief engineer OF the Ever
glades drainage district that the
dykes around Lake Okeechobee pro-
tecting Moorehaven had given way
and the town was flooded. The break
was due, Assistant Engineer Flanders
reported, to northeast gale that

neer Eliot of the situation said:
Northeast gale blowing since mid
night. Protective dykes at Moore
haven given way. Town flooded Am

places where water could go over the
leyees were not extensive and do not
cover any long stretch. He thought
they would. not be difficult to close
after the dredge Panama reached the
scene, That would require two or
three hours, he stated.

FAKE CONCERNS REAP HARVEST
 COLD BAY OIL

SEATTLE, Jan. 12.-Oil in Alaska was fully discussed the other even- ing at dinner given at the Rainier Club by Chairman A. s. Kerry to the other 34 members of the Alaska de- partment of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. There has been some de- lay in the operations of the two big oil companies now preparing to sink wells in the Cold Bay district, and it is not expected that actual drilling for oil will start until the fore part of February. On the question of fake oil companies now selling thousands of dollars worth of stock in this city, MT. Kerry said:
 While the strongly financed and dominating oil companies in this country today expect to discover oil in commercial quantities in Alaska, no other small fry oil company is in the field spending dollar in de- velopment, nor do any of them expect to do so Yet the circulars of fake Alaska oil companies are flooding the local market, and their stock will never be worth a dollar"
 MT. Kerry's Westward Develop ment Company's interest in Alaska oil lands has been manifested in in ducing the Standard Oil and the As sociated Oil Companies to get into Alaska and drill His company's ob- jects having been accomplished, have ended there.

CLOSED SEASON REGULATION
 BLUE FOXES

A change in fur regulations pro- hibits the killing of blue foxes, in Southwestern Alaska and portion of the Westward region, except by fur farmers or their authorized agents on their own land, according to tele- graphic advices received from Wash ington by E. F. Walker, chief of the Biological Survey in Alaska. This regulation closes the open season for blue foxes in these regions.
 Mir Walker is not able at this time to state exactly which portions of the Westward region are included in the regulation as the advice was not clear ly defined. He expects to receive written confirmation as to the regu- lation, on one of the next boats, when he will make known the exact regula- tion.
 The regulation has been made as protection to the fox farmers from poachers. MT. Walker said, and elinl- mated any excuse that foxes caught are taken from lands outside of re- serves.
 There are few blue fox running wilG in these districts, Mr. Walker said.

ALASKA IS INVITED
 PARTICIPATE BIG FAIR

An invitation to participate in the National Travel and Outdoor Life Exposition, to be staged in Chicago early next spring. has been extended to the Territory, according to an announcement by Gov. Scott c. Bone. It is suggested that Alaska arrange for an exhibit representative of the fishing, game, scenic and other at fractions for persons desiring to spend their summer vacations in the outdoor world.
 All sections of the country, it was stated. in a letter received by Cover nor Bone, from Maine to California, and from Washington state to Flor ida, will be represented in the eX- hibits. The big show will be held in the famous Chicago Coliseum from May 7 to 12.
 The purpose of the exposition is to further the campaign of inducing American tourists to "See America First" Many new tourists regions have been opened up through pub licity gained in former similar shows, it is claimed.
 If necessary financial arrangements can be made, it is possible that an Alaskan exhibit will be sent the Governor intimated. The Territory has no fund for such purposes and Alaska participation is largely de- pendent on financial and other as- sistance from independent sources. The Governor now has the matter under consideration and hopes to find a way in which to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered to ad- vertise Alaska's outdoor life and tourist possibilities.

ADMITS LOVE FOR
 SLAIN CHUM'S WIFE

BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. 13.-Admit- ting his love for the wife of the man he is alleged to have murdered, liar, old H. Wendell declares he will seek out the young woman, of whose whereabouts he is now unaware, as soon as he is free.
 Wendell was charged with staying his chum, Rollin Morgan, after the latter's body was retrieved from the Kawkawlin River, buried, then disin- tered and re-examined
 q loved Patty the first time I saw her; then my wife put me up to kiss ing her." Wendell declares.
 Expects Release
 The accused man confidently ex- poets to be released.
 "I'll see Patty again." Wendell de- cleared recently. "If she does not come to me I'll go to her some way" Mrs. Morgan is reported to be in Albu- QueIuue, NeW Me8ICO.
 Wendell planes his wife for getting him into his present predicament.
 "She got me into it first, even though unintentionally, he said Discussing his love for Patty, he said: "When you have lost your heart to a girl. when she has taken possession of your soul, you love her so much holding arm of the conventions-the desire to kiss her is in you, oh, so much! !-then she up and kisses you it's all over!"
 Slames Husband
 Morgan encouraged him to be friendly with Mrs. Morgan, Wendell declares
 "He was a person who liked to have one admire and be chummy with his wife," he said "Then he would tease her about whoever happened to be- their mutual friend. But Patty was always true and faithful to Rollin. Oh, how I wish I could see her!"
 There are many obstacles in the way of Mendell's anticipated release, however. First, there is an investlga- tion into Mendell's sanity by con- mission of two physicians, and if he IS found sane there will be a murder charge.
 Wendell appeared greatly agitated when told that his sanity was to be tested. He said that his memory, save for some minor occurrences since the arrest, was clear and well defined.
 "My trouble shows to what length a woman will go in her efforts to get revenge" he said 'I have been mar ried 14 years, but would not care to predict what my own wife might do on impulse. This charge against me looks like the work of jealous wo- men. Yet I do not honestly believe my wife is responsible for it.''
