In Mediterranean by Italians
Italy Confident of Position, While Euro
Peon Nations Regret League Has Been
Compromised by Part in Dispute.

From the Quai d'Orsay, as we'll as
through Italian sources. il now ap-
pears that there is little ground for
believing that the league will per-
NIT any real intervention as advo-
Gated by Britain, Scandinavia and the
Balkan states. The league, to save
its face, is likely. finally. to refer the
question to the council of ambas-
sadorS.
This council. meeting in Paris, ac-
ceptcd in principle the appointment
of an investigation commission COM
posed of British. French and Italian
members, turning down the Greek
proposal to add neutral member.
Japan had already declined to par
ticipate. The final decision regarding
such a commission Will be taken up
by. the council of ambassadors today
or tomorrow. owing to the desire of
the British member to communicate
with and receive further instructions
from his government. Thus. II is un-
likely that Italy will consent to
evacuate Corfu yet.
Just as Englands recent note
writing appeal for world opinion on
the subject of the Ruhr was engulfed
in the world news by the death of
president Harding. so MuSSolini's
dramatic coup appeared to be some
what overlooked because of the big
ger news from Japan. But the italian
premier now is revivinE interest in
himself by interviews in which he
intimates that there will be more
trouble if ltaly's demands are not
granted.

LEAGUE SWAMPED
WITH CRISIS ADVICE
U. S. Messages Plead for
Firm Stand in ItaIo-
Greek Controversy.
BY A. n. DECKER,

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
GENEVA, September 6.-The secre-
tariat of the league of nations is
being bombarded with kilograms from
all parts of the world, offering advice
on the disposition of the Italo-Greek
controversy. One from the United
States. reading For Gods sake stand
firm" is a fair sample of the majority
of them. Supporters of the league
seem to want to see energetic steps
taken to establish at Geneva the
authority to prevent armed conflicts.
Representatives of the nations in the
league are maintaining silence. await
ing developments. Even such a
stanch adherent as Lord Robert Cecil
states that he occupiesNthe position of
judge, and hence cannot render an
opinion in advance.
Believe LoophoIe Left.
Signor Salandra's carefully worded
argument presented in behalf of
league is not competent to handle the
Italo-Greek conflict, is believed by
some observers to leave a loophole for
the bringing of the case before the
council of ambassadors. whose Italian
agents were slain on the Albanian
border, or before the world court.
However. II the matter is taken away
from the league. the smaller states
will feel the hopelessness of their
situation.
Already the little entente has resolved
to support the thesis that the league is
competent, and the Balkan states are
prepa ring for more active disapproval.
The Journal de Genevre says:
Call MussOlini Extreme.
Ttaly's Indignation is justified, but
Mussolini is going too far. He Is ceding
TO the violence of his character and
the acclamation of his fellow citizens
Shall we believe the quarrel is a pre-
text to permit him to fortify Italy east
of the Adriatic? Mussolini declares the
occupation of Corfu is typic, but the
same thing was said of the Dodecaneze
eleven years ago.
by denying the leagues right to in
terfere, Mussolini has accomplished an
exceedingly serious act. He forbids the
league the right to function as regards
matters for which 1t was expressly Gre
ated If the league council insists upon
it's rights. Italy will. perhaps. leave the
league. If the league declares the ques-
ton out of its jurisdiction, 1t discredits
itself forever"

night by Henry H. Curran, commits
sioner of immigration at Ellis Island.
when he learned of a decision in
Washington which will permit the
immi grants to land.
In the meantime many immigrants
were sent from Ellis Island back to
their ships to await the decision of
the Washington officials. Scenes
bordering on panic were enacted as
the aliens were returned to the veS-
sells. There was babel OF tongues
as interpreters tried to tell the i'm
migrants they were not being de-
ported. while some tried to elude
guards and leap into the water. de-

drowning than face deportation.
Ship Companies to Fight.
Officials of but one of the steam
ship lines concerned could be reached

say definitely what action might be
taken, 1t was indicated the case
would be fought. This was from the
ic-American line. whose officials
said their records showed that their
ship. the Estonia, had not entered
quarantine before midnight. but two
minutes after the hour.
Ellis Island was crowded last night.
Additional aliens were brought in
from the following ships: Byron, of
the National Greek line, S35: Tus-
cania, of the Cunard line, 67l, and
the Chicago. of the French line 233
Officials examined 1859 immigrants
today. admitting about 1,4OO to the
United States, the others being held
for various reasons. Approximately
1900 more are waiting on ships for
their turns to be taken to the island
for examination. In addition to this
number there remain nearly 1000
who will be admitted under no quota
at all, but merely because they were
on the ships that crossed the line
ahead of time. 1t was pointed out,
however. that the yearly quota set by
the immigration law would not be
exceeded by this number.
