ITALY DEFIES AUTHORITY IF LEAGUE TO ACT
 Gravity Of Greco-Ita Dis- pute Felt Throughout Eu- rope, But Hope Based On League Despite Italy ALLIES GET PROTEST OF GREECE ON CORFU AFFAIR Italy Contends Greek Govern ment Not Recognized By Powers And Has No Right To Appeal To League

LONDON, Sept. 2.-(By Associated Pre5s.)--The lapse of another day finds no diminution in the tension or the g-avity of the Greco Italian dis pute. No further overt or hostile act Is recorded. but grave aspect of the situation is the Italian de- termination, expressed beforehand, to refuse to recognize the status of the League of Nations fin the affair, or respect its decision.
 The English leading writers have found consolation, in commenting on the dispute, in the consideration that in 1914 no International tribunal such ES the League of Nations, or council of ambassadors existed, to which the Austro-Serbian dispute might have been submitted with some hope of avoiding war. This hope will, they say, be shattered if Italy refuses to recognize the league
 Both Creek and Italian govern ments are energeticaIly occupying themselves in placing their respec- tive cases before the world. The Italian press does not hesitate to inn pute criminal motives to Greece. The Greek government, on it's side. Is ca gerly offering to submit the ques- tion Of responsibility for the Janina murders to an international tribunal and abide by any decision and pay the compensation such tribunal de- crees.
 Italy's Conteation.
 Italy contends that the Greek government has not been recognized by the powers and lacks the status or right of appeal to the league, which ought to repudiate It's appli- caticn, and argues that otherwise Greece will secure recognition through assassination.
 Meanwhile, the council of the league, which is considering the dis pute, is proceeding leisurely and has adjourned until Tuesday, and even then still further adjourn the case.
 Another disquieting feature of the affair is a report from Rome of anti Italian demonstrations in the Island of Crete, which, 1t Is feared, may be prelude to a descent upon that island, like Corfu.
 Statesmen Quiet.
 International statesmen are pre- serving a discreet silence on the subject. NJ. Poincare of France made his customary Sunday speeches. but carefully avoided reference to for eign politics. Lord Curzon returned to London tonight, brought back pre- maturely through the threatening in- ternational situation. He also de- cline1 10 say anything about the dis pute until he had time to study all official reports. He permitted him. self the significant comment. how ever, that the League of Nations had taken the matter in hand and that seems to be the inevitable and pre- liminary step. "EverybLdy's ef- forts,' he added, should be devoted to strengthening the leagues hand"
 It is not known yet whether Pre- mier Baldwin will hasten his return from Aix-Les-Bains on account of the crisis.

The superiority of a news paper publishing the Asso- ciated Press report Sunday was again most forcibly dem- onstrated to readers of news papers in Birmingham.

 The ruin of Toleio and other cities was emphasized in the Associated Press report and The Age-Herald being the only newspaper in Birming- ham permitted to publish it's report on Sunday was enabled to present this highly import ant news first to the readers.

taclzs of backache which gave me great
deal of bother. 1 was told of Doan's
Kiddey Pills and I used them. As a re-
ward, 1 was given entire relief. Other
members of the family have found
Doan's just as beneficial as have"
statement given March 6, 1922.
On Ma IL, 1921, Mr.. Abbott added
ct confirm my former statement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Today can claim
a cure as 1 do not have kidney complaint

perience.
