MUSSOL|N| SEEKS
BRITAIN AS FRIEND
Effort Made to Offset Cam
paign to Break Long Exist
ing Friendship.
By Cable to The Star and Philadeiphia
Public Ledger. Copyright 1921

PUBLIC Ledger. Copyright, 1928
ROME, September 15.-Despite the
sincere efforts of certain British
statesmen and a portion of the British
press virtually to terminate Great
Britain's long-existing friendship with
Italy. the strongest representations
are now being made at Rome to save
England from what is considered 1.-The
worst of all its recent political blum
ders.'
without yielding the slightest from
its firm attitude toward England and
the league of nations, Italy offers its
friendship to England. 1t is true that
the wave of anti-British feeling which
has swept over Italy since the seizure
of Corfu has greatly strengthened the
movement of pan-Latinism or Latin
confederation in Europe. But Italy is
not entirely dealing in dreams.
Mussolini has proved that he lives
in the present and plays cards as
they are dealt, and Italy appears
lately to have taken the view that
England needs new light on its in
ternational reckoning.
In divers ways, without too much
semblance of official inspiration. the
fact is pointed out to England that
lI lis policy lCalY
could be as firm a friend to England
as Greece.
Point to blindness.
The fact is deplored that England
in the time of Lloyd George could
have been so blind as to back Greece
against Turkey when it was appar-
ent to all the powers that Greece,
politically and morally, was a de-
funct nation.
Articles appeared in the Rome press
today which again support the idea
of three-power control of the Medi-
terranean-Britain, Italy and France.
In one instance 1t was suggested that
no more valuable ally could be had in
the Mediterranean than Italy. In this
respect Italy's geographical position
is shown as being almost as far to
the eastward as Greece and as a mill
tary naval base much more logical.
OF course, as pointed out in one
article, ''our friendship has its price
respect for the realization of Italy's
interest in the Adriatic and Mediter-
ranean." 1t is thus made known to
England that her admiralty is con-
strained to consider the Italian navy
in any mobilization in Mediterranean
waters

NATION IS QUIET.
Messages Report Tranquility in
Spain-Market Indifferent.

By the Associated Press
LONDON. September 15.-Messapes
from Spain received in London dur-
ing the night contain no Indication
that any disturbances have occurred
In connection with the military coup
d. etat; however. it is recalled that
a strict censorship prevails.
According to an untimed Reuter- dis
patch from Madrid, the second dav of
the revolt passed as quietly as the
first. At the time the telegram was
sent groups of people were standing
before the royal palace and in the
Puerta Del Sol, but they were there
only of curiosity. Although there has
been no detailed news from the
provinces, it is thought that the
change was effected in the outlying
districts in as orderly a manner as in
the capital.
Market Indifferent.
Another agency report says that
Rivera's action has been received
with general sympathy. as all Spain
has become tired of the negative
policy followed by the late ministry.
The socialist party has issued
manifesto protesting against the
abridgment of civil administration.
The London Stock Exchange has
shown a remarkable Indifference to
Rivera's coup. Spanish As declined
only 2h points to 67k without any
dealings taking place.
Ihe Daily Express today prints
cablegram signed by Marquis Estella
primo Rivera) under date of Friday
In which the captain general, reply
ing to an inquiry, says: THE ma
tional and military movement in
Spain has no other purpose than to
restore morality to the corrupt po-
littcal and administrative system. 1t
is absolutely faithful to King AL
fonso."

Telegraph from San Sebastian de-
scrfbes how Rivera's telegram an

his courtiers, aristocrats and diplo-
mats, among whom was Santiago

left for Noja, province of Santander.
Premier Alhucemas will remain in
Madrid until the new cabinet Is in
stalled, after which he will Join his
family at Hendaye, France.
The Telegraph's correspondent re-
marks that the generals directing
the coup are all young men and per-
sonal friends of King Alfonso. He
agrees that their movement is di-
rected exclusively against the poll
ticians who have ruined Spain and
enthroned nepotism in administra-
ton. His judgment is that the crisis
will not be attended by violence.

TENSION is DENIED.
Belgrade Sees Row With Italy
Amicably Settled.

BY the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, September 15.-"All
reports circulated in the past few
days alleging that tension existed in
the relations between Jugoslavia and
Italy because of the interruption of
the work of the Fiume conference
committee are unfounded," says a
statement issued by the foreign office.
1t adds that the desire of both coun-
tries for an agreement is undiminished." :"
The statement was called forth by
report in a Belgrade newspaper
that Premiers Pachitch and Mussolini
would meet at an early date to seek
a solution of the question.
Another announcement confirms
rumors of a postponement of decisive
action by Italy.
The surrender by Italy of such
ports as Sadai. Loshin and Zara as
compensation for the annexation of
Fiume would be an acceptable solu-
tion of the situation, in the opinion
of many persons here, but there is a
certain feeling that the best course
would be to refuse to negotiate. let
ting Italy violate the treaty of Ra-
pallo and take the consequences.
Direct Agreement Seen.
1t was learned last night that For
efEn Minister Ninchitch has been in
structed by the cabinet to file the
Rapallo treaty with the league of
nations as a basis for future nego-
tiations in which the league might
help, but the prevailing impression
now is that the problem will be set
tied directly between the two pre-
miers.
There have also been reports of
Italy's intention to annex the city, a
step which the Belgrade government,
it has been said, would not oppose,
provided Jugoslavia was accorded one
or more other ports in compensation.
Annexation of Fiume. it was reported
in Paris recently, would be accompa-
MED by the withdrawal of Italian
troops from Porto Barros. the adjoin-
ing harbor. and by remuneration Of
Italy's claim to Sussak.
A decision by the mixed commission
which has been considering the dis
pute over the Interpretation of the
treaty of Rapallo was asked late last
Monday by Premier Mussolini for a
date not later than September Is. Re-
cent dispatches. however, have indi-

CUT TO S25,19,O)D,
D. c. ESTIMATES co
TO BUDGET BUREAU
Urgent Supplemental items
of More Than $6, 900, 900
Accompany Demands.
LETTER URGING NEEDS
READY EARLY NEXT WEEK
Commissioners and Department
Heads May Be Invited to
Explain Figures.

The District Commissioners today
transmitted to the bureau of the bud
get their revised estimates for the
next fiscal year, reduced to approx
mately $25,15o,OOo.
The greatly reduced budget was
accompanied by list of urgent sup
Elemental items amounting to more
than six million dollars and including
all of the important projects which
had to be eliminated from the regu-
lar estimates in order to get them
down to the Limitation fixed by the
budget bureau.
1t is on this supplemental list that
the Commissioners are basing their
hopes for next year. The original fig
ures submitted to Gen. Lord several
weeks ago amounted to $32, 600. At
that time the city fathers felt they
already had stricken out every nom
essential request made by the depart
ment heads.
However, in carrying out the cam
paign of economy the budget bureau
ordered a reduction in preliminary
estimates of the National Capital, just
as it did with federal bureaus.
Letter to Urge Funds.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, had hopes to transmit to
Gen. Lord with the estimates letter
setting forth the reasons why the
Commissioners felt impelled to appeal
for supplemental funds. He will not
be able, however. to complete the
draft of this letter until early next
week.
1t is pointed out by District officials
that unless the budget bureau and
Congress find it possible to raise the
limitations of 25,0O0,p00 by approv-
ing at least part of the supplemental
list the District government will make
very little headway next year for
catching up with the vast amount of
urgently needed improvements that
have accumulated.
Work Not Completed.
Although the Commissioners have
now placed their final figures before
Gen. Lord. their work is not completed.
1t is expected that the budget bureau
will follow the course Of action taken
last year by inviting the Commission
ers and department heads to appear
in person some time next month to
explain in detail the requests that
have been submitted.
Practically all the new street paw
ing jobs, sewer and water main ex-
tensions have been eliminated from
the regular estimates and placed on
the supplemental lists. Items for the
purchase of several park sites also
have passed from the preferred bud
get to the supplemental. The original
requests for more policemen and fire.
men and additional apparatus like
wise had to be reduced.
The Commissioners are still hopeful
that the budget officials will see their
way clear to approve a considerable
portion of the proposed work that has
been stricken from the regular estimates.
