Friendship for Premier.
By Radio to The Star and New York World

By Radio to The Star and New York World.
ROME, February 26.-The Fascist
press today Iauds the friendship Of
United States Ambassador Fletcher
for Premier Mussolini. He has just
received a special mark of gratitude
from the dictator. Though still abed
with grippe, Mussolini instructed his
private secretary that he wanted to
show Fletcher how much he appre-
ciated the latter's constant inquiries
during the premier's attack of illness.
Mussolini demanded the largest
picture of himself which could be
found. When it was brought he
signed it, with a friendly dedication
to Fletcher.
The friendship between the premier
and the United States envoy dates
from last year, when some interests
started a violent attack on the
| italian lire. Fletcher's prompt cable
reports to the Department of State
that the stories of Italy's bad condi-
ton were fantastic were regarded
by Mussolini as greatly helping to
restore Americas confidence, foiling
the attacks on the lire, as Washing
ton issued official denial of the re-
ports that catastrophe threatened
Italy.

ASQUITH'S ELEVATION
MAY IMPROVE ATTIRE
Earl of Oxford Expected to Shed
"Boisterous" Garb for Dignified
Dress of Lord.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. February 26.-Since for
mer Premier Asquith accepted a seat
in the red leather benches of the
House of Lords there has been spec
ulation among the politicians and
public whether the new Earl OF OK
ford and Asquith will discard his
style of soft collars, windsor tie,
rather boisterous tweeds and bright
yellow shoes for more distinguished
attire, as in the lords there is much
more convention in dress than In
the commons.
Apparently taking it for granted that
the new Earl of oxford and Asquith
will succeed Lord Beauchamp as Liberal
leader among the lords, the opinion
Is expressed by some commentators
that Westminster has seen the last
of Asquith in the lackadaisical style
of dress in which his colleagues have
been accustomed to see him for many
years.
Mr. Asquith is particularly fond
of a kind of easy-going tennis shoe,
which appears to have been designed
for him alone, so well does it mt.
He apparently has many pairs OF
these, and he wears them Winter
and Summer on almost all but the
most formal occasions. The shoes
have red rubber soles and hardly any
heels. They are as well known
around Westminster as the elder
statesman himself.

ANT[L|QUOR MOVE
BEATEN IN HOLLAND
Bill Proposing Local Option
Defeated by Slender Vote
in Upper House.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

THE HAGUE, February "A bill
proposing to combat the drink evil in
Holland by introducing local option
was defeated in the upper house of
the States General recently by % to
20 votes, after passing the lower
house by A to 80 votes
This is the second unsuccessful at
tempt of a strong anti-liquor group
in parliament to restrict the drink
traffic; the first, made in 1921, suffer
ing like fate by being adopted in
the lower house by SO to 20 votes,
and then being thrown out in the fol-
lowing year by the upper house by Is
to II votes.
Was Not Party Vote.
The latest vote was interesting in
that ii was not a party vote. as is so
usual in Dutch legislation. Local OPP
ton has been holly debated recently
both in and out of Parliament. No
fewer than 1900 public bodies, includ-
ing Christian workmen's unions,
church councils, Y. NJ. G. AS and
others, have petitioned the govern
ment in favor of 1t, and public me-
mortal in it's support secured 100000
signatures.
Various speakers in the chamber
of the effects of prohibition, both id
the United States and in Finland.
They said that in their opinion pro-
hibition had by no means proved the
success that had been claimed for it.
neither had crime decreased to the
extent that had been represented as
the result of it. \Prohibition, they
argued. only favored hypocrisy in ad-
dition to wholesale and fragrant eva
sionS of the law.
The failure of the present bill seems
to be due mainly to financial consid-
erations.
1t has been contended that even
without restrictive measures the con-
sumption of drink has enormously de-
creased in Holland of late years. In
1899 the consumption was 7.75 quarts
per capita of population, but now 1t is
only 40 quarts. Holland, neverthe-
less, still spends nearly $6o,0o0,o00 a
year on drink, according to the latest
statistics.

Attempt on Life Follows His

CAIRO. Egypt, January 3.-Enter-
ing the spiritual shelter of Christian
ity has been romantic and thrilling
experience for Ahmed ell Tai. and
there is every prospect that his re-
manning there will become more dra-
matte as the years progress.
Ahmed is a student in the American
University in Cairo. Because he
wanted to learn about Christianity
he went to the American college in
stead of the famous Moslem Univer-
sity of FL Azhar. But now that he
has renowned the faith of his an
cestors and has been baptized he has
been cast off by his father, who prom
ises to kill him; has been branded as
a renegade and an outcast by his
compatriots in Mohammedan LANDS,
and at least once has narrowly es-
capped with his life from the aveng-
inc zeal of followers of the prophet.
Trouble over Marriage.
Ahmed is the son of a wealthy lum-
Der merchant in Bagdad. where he
was born and where he lived until
he came to Cairo, about year ago
His home life ran smoothly IN that
ancient city of fiery dust and de-
a second wife The state to which
his mother was then relegated in the
household disturbed him. but, know
ing only the law of the Koran, he did
not consider her treatment unusual
until he purchased a Testament in

Then Ahmed's mother died, and he
made the long journey by camel over

outside until he could pass the ex-

university authorities wrote, and
finally, after he had been baptized, the
father answered. mentioning that he
had received nine letters and two
kilograms concerning the new religion
and pouring out the bitterness and
disappointment of his soul
