 It is understood that the French view point is that the moment Pre- mier Mussolini took separate action the question of sanctions for the assassination of the Italian members of the boundary mission became and Italo-Greek question and the allies henceforth can only exercise a mod erating influence on Italy and advise reasonable compliance with Italy's demands by Greece. In allied opinion, however, the moment for such inter- vention as this seemingly has not arrived.
 The argument advanced In benalf of Italy, that the occupation of Corfu finds a precedent in the occupation of the Ruhr, has caused some irrita- ton in French official circles, where 1t was said there was no similarity. and that the Ruhr question was ef-- fecfed under the terms of the treaty of Versailles after the reparations commission, with the Italian rep resentative voting with the majority. had declardd Germany in default.

Near Eastern
 D UeloprlentS Told In Brief


 LONDON, Sept. 1.-(By Associ- ated Press )-The Italian gov ernment is actively engaged in military movements to exact reparations from the Greeks for the killing of the members of the Italian delimitation mission In Greek territory.
 In addition ot the lombard ment and, seizure of Corfu. where 5,000 Italian soldiers are re- ported to have landed, the Ital- ians have occupied the islands of PaXos and AntipaXos, of the lonian group, lying to the south of Corfu; Italian warships are moving to the strategic points and Italian reservists in various cities have been ordered to hol1 themselves in readiness for call to the colors. .s.s
 Greece has placed her case in the hands of the League of Ma tions, but the council of the leagues has postponed discus sion of the question until Tues day next. Meanwhile the Sean- dinavian and Anglo Saxon dele gates at Geneva have expressed themselves strongly in favor of the league asserting it's full pre- negatives conferred upon it by the covenant and taking over the settlement of the controversy.
 The Italian government is op- posed to the controversy going to the League of Nations for de- cision, asserting that it Is a sub ject to be settled by Italy and Greece themselves.

their ambassadors have not been in- structed to make any representations to the Italian government.
 This crisis arose at an opportune time for Italy in one respect. Both Great Britain and France want other absorbing difficulty-the set clement of the German reparations; both have good reasons to arefrain from making themselves appear cool to Italy or her real ruler. Nipples are visible on the surface of affairs, which Is characteristic of European politics in delicate situations and sections of the press in both Paris and London hint that the papers of the two capitals haven't shown an attitude toward Italy as friendly as they might display.
 Downing street Calm.
 The precincts of Downing street give no evidence of anything un- usual stirring in world diplomacy. The minister is spending a vacation at a French watering place and it Is said he does not intend to curtail his vacation. Lord Curzon, foreign secretary, is returning tonight from France, it is asserted. according to previous plans.
 Significant naval movements are reported. Lieutenant Coloned Am Ory, 1lrSt iOrd or the auHllIdltN, IS proceeding to, Malta, which is the British naval base in the Medlter- ranean, but he is on tour of in- spection, combined with a vacation. which he announced several weeks ago.
 One of the unusual features of this crisis is the lack of discussion of the crime which brought 1t about; seems to have been almost forgotten under debate of the researching interest 1t precipitated.

The water front, a mile away, are the Maganecho and Isezaki- Cho, equivalent to the Broadway and Fifth avenue of New York. Here flourishes the night life of Japan, Geishas and gayety beneath the flickering of can dies and torches, and the glare as we'll of electric lights. It is a city half old. half new. In this district is the Little Tea House of 100 Steps, reached by climbing high above the street. Here, too Is the Nogeyama shrine, visited daily by scores of Americans.

Government Officials
 Are Little Concerned

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Predicting the day breathing spel& be- fore the next meeting of anthracite operators and miners at Harrisburg will serve to further the cause of compromise, government officials generally expressed little concern to- day as reports were received of the closing down of the country's hard coal fields.
 Definite agreement for another conference was pointed to as in- dicating a belief on both sides that basis for settlement existed. either in the formula already uncovered, or in other closely related.
 Conforming with instructions from the White House orders which will put in motion the emergency distri- button machine will be withheld at least until after the barley Wednes- day.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. H. Behind the temporary pail of broken communication that has screened the Yokohama earthquake and fire trag- edy from the eyes or the world. until cables are repaired 100000 people are suffering one of the most stupen- dous disasters of the ages, in the opinion of men well acquainted with the city and the surrounding terrain.
 So flimsy and inflammable are the houses that crowd the heart of the city that, once started. a fire of the proportions described in the fragmen- tary dispatches received from Japan by radio shaken up by an earthquake, would not pause until it had engulfed most of the homes of Yokohama
 Most of the structures are of the typical Japanese style with light wood and paper or cloth panels. The streets are so narrow that flames would leap easily across them and race in a little while from the old quarter to the Honmoku district. where are the comfortable villas of the wealthy.
 Yokohama, strangely enough, owes its development to an American, Com modore Perry It was only a tiny fishing village until Perry anchored his ships there in 1859, and counseled the Mikado to make it the port of Tokio. Since that time 1t has become
