British to Register
Protest If Smile Law
Has Been Violated

London, Nov. u (By A. P.)--Ihe
British government has requested OF
its charge d'affairs in Washington a
full report on the circumstances sur
rounding the seizure of the British
schooner Tomaka off the New Jer-
sey coast and the British schooner
Island Home off the Texas coast by
American officials. If the report es-
tablishes that the vessels seized are
British owned and were taken out
side the three mile limit. Great Brit
ain will formally protest their seiz-
ure on the ground that the treaty
giving the right to confiscate alco-
holic contrabrand beyond the Ameri-
can three mile limit has been signed
nor ratified.
: In the reports concerning the me-
gotiations for the treaty the British
officials appear to be interested over
constant references to "the twelve
mile limit" as though Secretary OF
State Hughes proposal for an ex-
tension of the three mile limit al
ready had been enacted into law.
They say they desire to make 1t
clear that there is no such thing as
a fixed twelve mile limit, but that
under the pending agreement the
American right of seizure will be
limited by the general term AN
hours steaming distance from AM
ericans shores.

just been added to the collection of
seven cases already on display in

object is a masterpiece, is the Pha-
raoh's little jewel box. of solid ivory
yellowed with age, with knobs.
hinges and feet of solid gold. in
scribed on the front with the Kings
name and on the back with the Lo-
tus symbol Of upper Egypt.
Also Of interest are the kings
buckles, OF open work sheet gold,
with scenes inlaid in tiny golden
granules. representing process said
to be unknown today, while the gold
pendants, scarabs and bezels are ex-
Quisitely carved.
There are number of signet
rings and amulets and four torch
holders Of bronze and gpqd. In one
of these holders the wick of twisted
linen is still in position in the oil
cup.
One of the cases contains a COL
lection of green or blue glaze drink
ing cups and vessels, the latter

Italian Cabinet
Grants More Power
to Premier MussOlini

Rome, Nov. 27-(By A. pat a
cabinet meeting today it was unani-
mously decided that the full powers
of government now exercised by
Premier Mussolini should be eX-
tended. The ministers also approved
the organization of "a supreme COM
mission for national defense"
The duration of the, full powers
given the premier was left to the
discretion of Signor Mussolini, who
will present the project of extending
his rule to parliament. This will be
done November 20, and little oppo-
sition is expected.
1t is generally understood the die
tatorship will extend - for another
year. All parties Of the Right have
agreed to support the premier. The
socialists and communists and few
isolated members of parliament will
make addresses opposing the extern
sion.
The new supreme defense commits
sion will be composed of the premier
and the ministers of foreign affairs,
interior, finance, war, navy, colonies
and economy, and the commissioners
for aeronautics. The chiefs of staff
Of the army and navy will have con-
sultive votes. A special sub-commis-
sion of general mobilization will OPP
crate under the supreme commission.
The cabinet also approved various
treaties of commercial and financial
nature with Austria, Jugo Slavia and
Hungary.
