FRANCE rs MODERATOR.
Mussolini Accepts Advice in Fiume
Annexation.

PARIS, September 15.-The battle
OF the Ruhr. the Italo-Greek and
Italo-Jugoslav incidents and the Span
ish coup d'etat constitute sources of
profound disquiet in Europe.
The question is asked whether a
reCoil from democratic ideas has
brought the continent into a danger
GUS humor. Also whether such a pro-
nunciamento as the Spanish generals
launched yesterday is a new manifes-
tation of militaristic spirit through
out the world.
France for the immediate present
continues to hold the key to the po-
litical situation. and for this all credit
is due to Premier Poincare.i The pre-
mier's eXhortation apparently has had
a considerable effect on NJ Pachich
and the Belgrade government, and
there is feeling that the friendly
advice" of France to Mussofini did
not fall on deaf ears. Therefore, NJ.
Poincaire's role of moderator" in the
interests of European peace promises
to be rs successful in the case of
Fiume as in the Corfu imbroglio.
1t is pointed out, furthermore, that
Mussolini is loath to undertake any
violent action so soon after the Corfu
coup and thus arouse fresh criticism
and accusations of Napoleonic ambi-
llOu. hOTcON6T, similar action at
Fiume would certainly again provoke
the wrath of the league of nations,
which the Italian dictator now seems
to be trying to avoid.
Thus the Quay D'Orsay is able today
to confirm the report that the italian
government is willing to tackle the
Fiume question by direct negotiations
with Jugoslavia. excluding arbitration
by the Swiss president, and there Is
fair degree of confidence that an agree
ment Will be reached which will elimi-
nate immediate danger of war.
italian circles, however, persist in
the thought that. had not the Corfu af-
:, fair SO Unexpectedly developed Musso-
lini's intentions were to proclaim to-
morrow the annexation of Fiume to
Italy-the date when he claimed his
liberty Of action" Apparently all
preparations had been made to carry
out this program, and Mussolini was
ready to deny both Jugoslavia and the
world as unconcernedly as when he
seized Corfu.

nent Macon dentist, accused Of being

Der of the Ku Klux Klan, was put
on trial last Tuesday on the first of
seven charges against him. Selection
of the jury took up the first half day

until noon yesterday, the defense
being virtually confined to an effort
to discredit state witnesses through
bringing out of allegations deroga-
tory to their character. A number of
the witnesses in behalf of the dentist,
including his leading counsel, John P.
Ross, admitted their membership in
the Ku Klux Klan. while others testi-
fed they had made application for
membership or asked they be not re-
uuired to answer the question.
On the other hand, three members of
the Ku Klux Klan, all employees of
the Imeprial Palace at Atlanta, two of
them detectives and the third So
licitor of members or organizer in
Macon, testified for the state. The
two detectives have been here for
several weeks with NJ. o. Dunning,
chief OF staff for Georgia, admittedly
working up evidence against fioggers.
Imperial Councillor Sullivan of the
Imperial Palace arrived here last
night. The Ku Klux Klan figured
prominently throughout the trial,

ditions of Swine, prepared by T. P.

ment of Agriculture. Although the
raEages of hog cholera have been
reduced 60 per cent below the worst

ease and to number of diseases
which in the time Of cholera out
break go unnoticed or are diagnosed
as cholera. These other diseases
include anthrax, epilepsy, gastroen-
terttis, necrobacillosis, pleurisy,
pneumonia. poisoning, swine plague,
(hemorrhagic septicemia), tubercu-
losis, and worms. Many other dis
eases and abnormal conditions. in
Guiding such common troubles as
thumps, sore mouth, sunstroke,
ricketts,, paralysis of the hind quar-
tiers, and rheumatism, are described
and proper treatments are given.
There are also chapters on the pre-
vention of disease and on the caus-
es of losses during shipment.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
by addressing the Department Of
griculture, Washington, D. c.. as
long as the supply lasts.
