of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, February 3.-While
the arrests of bolshevist agents and
workers are proceeding in Rumania
there are indication that a similar
campaign, in an intensified form, is TO
be opened soon in Jugoslavia, the
neighboring and allied country.
The arrest of Stefen Raditch, the
Croattan leader, is regarded here as
the beginning of an active campaign
against his followers in the support
of bolshevism. One hundred and four
men were arrested recently in
Krajova and lodged in jail
The minister of interior is prepar-
ing a complete list of foreigners who
will be expelled from Rumania The
number is said TO include all bolshe-
visit agents from Moscow who have
fallen under the observation of the
Bumanian police.

The investigators also declare that
Weinschenck since arriving here had
sold some of his art treasures to AL
bert A. Mors, the killing of whose
wife, Theresa w. Mors, here last
August precipitated a Federal inves-
tigatlon which resulted in the seizure
of Jewels in the Mors' strong boxes,
as smuggled gems. Kid Mccoy, ex-
pugilist, recently was convicted of
manslaughter in connection with Mrs.
Mors' death.
Following :he Mors affair, Harry L.
Katz, internationally known diamond
broker and art collector, was shot
to death in his apartment here. In
the investigation which followed this
Staying, Federal officers announced
that Mors and Katz had had dealings
in gems and antiques. The killer of
Katz has not been apprehended.

PRINTING OFFICES
WORK TO BE SHOWN
Exhibit for Industrial Exposition
March 90 Soon to Be
Selected.

The Government Printing Office ex-
hibit in the Industrial Exposition of
the Chamber of Commerce at the
Washington Auditorium, starting
March 81, will be selected soon by
4 committee OF. executives at the
printing office appointed by Public
Printer Carter.
Alfred l.. Stern, director of the ex-
position, announced last night that
assurance that the exhibit would
form part of the exposition had
reached him and a special booth will
be reserved to display the products
of Uncle Sans publishing house in
the best possible manner.
Will show Scope of Work.
The exhibit will give the local
public an oportunity to gauge the
wide variety of work handled at the
Government Printing Office, which
publishes the Congressional Record.
the official chronicle OF official events
of varieties of pamphlets and circu-
lars for every Government depart
ment.
Because Washingtonians have been
necessarily limited in their oppor-
tunlty TO see the wide variety of
work being done at the Government
Printing Office and because the public
was felt entitled to see exactly how
Government printers go about the
task Of handling and printing the
official pamphlets and documents Of
the Nation, this exhibit was decided
upon.
The exhibit will be broad in scope,
and the arrangements being made
for it indicate that the public printer
desires to give the public as good a
display of the work of the office as
possible.
Others Plan Exhibits.
Officials of the public schools, the
Municipal Playground Department, the
photographic Department of the Navy,
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, the Naval Gun Factory of the
Washington Navy Yard and the Neigh
borhood House also are planning ex-
hibits. These combined exhibits will
form an educational display which
will be one of the principal features
Of the exposition.
The public school exhibit will in
clude some of the best articles made
IN the industrial arts classes; the M
nicipal Playground Department will
have display of the handiwork of
the children who frequent the play
grounds; the photographic Department
OF the Navy will show charts Of the
navigable waters of the world. while
the NeighbOrhood House, the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing and the
Naval Gun Factory will have exhibits
depicting some Of the activities of
these institutions.

ANT|-FASC|ST MEN
BACK FROM EXILE
italian Opposition Paper Is
in Favor of Preparing
for Election.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ROME, February 21-The Giornale
DItalia, one of the most important
OF the opposition organs, virtually
announced today the descent from
the Aventine of approximately 12C
deputies opposed to Fascism. who
withdrew from Parliament and went
to the Aventine as a graphic protest
after the assassination of Deputy
Matteotti.
The Giornale DItalia's leading ar
ticle is devoted to the subject OF the
resumption of the parliamentary
work of the Aventine opposition and
20 attacking the determination of
Deputy Amendola, their leader, that
the opposition must continue nom
participa tion in the legislation of the
country.
Tactics HIVE Failed.
The paper admits that Amendola's S
tactics have not succeeded in chang
ing the situation.
It admits also the justice of Pre-
mier Mussolini's recent phrase re-
garding the success of Fascism-"we
have won the battle; now We must
win the war"
OF what it terms the opposition's
failure, the paper remarks: I'VE have
mean We shall lose the war For the
new situation, new strategic concep-
tions and new tactical methods must
be adopted. The Ayentine opposition
has failed to overthrow the cabinet
by denying its legitimacy and must.
therefore. bring about such change in
the situation az to obtain the result
that the answer of the country in a
general election in accordance with
the new electoral law will be the de-
feat of the individuals now in power"
Only Weapon Left.
The Giornale dItalia lays stress on
the fact that the drastic policies
adopted by the government have ST.
fenced the opposition press. and that.
therefore, the only weapon left TO the
opposition is the parliamentary trib-
une, and says:
There is a most authoritative op-
position now participating in the
work of the chamber, led by three
former premiers, but it is weak in
numbers. 1t is a mistake 10 leave
this weak force alone to face the
compact attitude of the majority. On
the other hand, if the entire opposi-
ton, giving up secessionist tactics,
should re-enter the chamber it would
revive the last days of this mori-
bund legislature, reawak ening the
interest of the country in present
problems, breaking deadlock
which otherwise runs the risk of be-
coming a stagnant impasse, and pre-
pairing the spiritual conscience of the
country for an electoral campaign"

sawdust Pavement Non-skid.

Success of the railroads in impreg-
mating ties with creosote, has led to
the manufacture of a street or road
pavement from sawdust mixed with
tarmac bitumen or an asphalt top
dressing, which, it is thought. will
make a weatherproof, more or less
non-skid pavement for country roads
far superior to some now used, and
much cheaper. 1t is a well known
fact that railroad ties when creosoted
last for years.

Two Weeks Left
To File appeals
On Personal Taxes

Persons who failed to make per-
sonal tax returns last July and
who have been assessed have only
two more weeks in which to visit
the District Building and appeal
from those assessments, Assessor
William p. Richards stated last
night.
Although 10000 notices have
been sent out, only about 5000
have appealed thus far. Half of
the tax on these assessments was
due last November, and the bal
ance Is payable in May.
Appeals from these personal tax
assessments will be heard until
March 8.

on the continued high prices of sill
yer. This enables not only the grea
mines, which never close, TO pros
per more than ordinarily, but gives
a chance TO the iunumerablt smaller
mines, which It is profitable to work
only during boom days. The in
creased prosperity is reflected through
the silver accessories mincs-such as
lead, mercury and antimony.
AS for continued harmony with the
United States, Senior Teller sees the
be st promise IN the fact that the new
order not only understands the
United States--for the old diplomats
did that--but is able to look upon
life and living through American
eyes, the eyes of eternal youth, the
eyes of green sprouts looking to the

Quick wits alone are not enough.
No, sir, they are not enough. In time
of danger it is useless to think quick
ly and then hesitate and be slow TO
put into action the result of your
quick thinking Quick thinking and
quick action must go together. Either
is useless without the other. Or

who hesitates Is lost" 1t Is true
saying If Peter Rabbit had hesi-

Johnny Chuck's house he would have
been lost.
But Peter didn't hesitate. His wits

there was Just one way. and only one
way, of escape open to him, and that
was Johnny Chuck's house. Never

Johnny and Polly Chuck used II
They might be very angry, and Peter

headfirst into the long hall of Johnny

Eleventh Day.

PACIFIC OCEAN, February 5.-A
long, loud, drawn-out moan of the
whistle woke up the entire ship and
brought everybody that was dressed
for the occasion clambering on deck.
The occasion was merely momentous
as the exact time when the ship pass
ed over the Equator. After listening
to the usual jokes about how the ship
line in getting over / went back to
bed-for a deep sea humorist is a
terrible thing. Also l needed the
sleep, because / had been foolish
enough to get up about am. to view
the Southern Cross.
Why anybody will get up to see
the Southern Cross will always re-
main a mystery. The Southern Cross
Is the poorest show in the world
ii is not worth waking up, not even
worth looking up, to see.
That dinky little constellation of
lop-sided stars that they have down
here is the most overrated display
that the whole heavens offer 1t is
nothing like so conspicuous as Orion,
Scorpio, the Great Dipper. Cassiopeia
and others that entertain us North
Americans. Any poet that drags in
the Southern Cross to help him out
must be hard up for an idea.
If the cross has any just cause
for fame other than that as the
pointer to the South Pole 1t is be-
cause of it's romantic influence or
the men who discovered and colonized
Latin America.
