New York, Aug. 12.-(AP)-The
Browning Spas adoption scenerio
which has run the dramatic scales
from light comedy to melodrama
and back again to straight farce be-
came a musical comedy today and
the erstwhile Cinderella in the role
of heroine, sang her way joyfully
back into the limelight of the front
pages. Reporters gathered outside
the Spas home in Astoria today to
be refused admittance but to be re-
called by the lifting soprano OF Mary
Louise as she sang plaintive love
songs within.
The reporters. however, hardly
constituted an audience of SUFFICIENT
numbers to satisfy her and the size
of the audience was quickly IN
creased, however. when Mary Louise
deciding on publicity at any price,
left off her singing and raised her
voice in screams of alleged pain.
From nearby houses streamed a
multitude of curious neighbors who
surged about the house not sure
whether the plot called for pity or
for hilarious amusement.
A doctor who was hurried to the
house to determine, was refused ao-
mittance, but policeman who fore
ed his way in, reported he found
Mary Louise reclining on couch
and reading a magazine. she dlon

MACMILLAN FINDS
BASE WANTED FOR
PLANE LANDING

Washington, Aug. 12-(AP)-Cov-
ering in few hours territory which
explorers a few years ago might
have labored over for months, the
airplanes Of the Macmillan Arctic
expedition have spotted a likely To-
cation for an intermediate base be-
tween Etah, Greenland. and Cape
Thomas Hubbard.
Two trips over the icy mountains
Of Ellesmere Island in weather that
chilled to the bone were necessary to
find the landing place. The first. last
Saturday, carried the planes over
rugged country never before ira
versed by civilized man.
The scond journey, yesterday. al
though made difficult by low clouds,
was successful in disclosing at Bett-
stadt Fjord, 100 miles from Etah,
what appeared to be- a suit; BILE loca-
ton. and the planes were scheduled
to move to that point late last night.
The necessity for working rapidly
was due to the rapid approach OF
colder weather.

Enables President
To Clear Up His Desk

Swampscott, Mass, Aug. II
(AP)-Spending one of the quietest
days since his arrival here just seven
weeks ago, President Coolidge was
able to clear up his desk consid-
erably preparatory to his departure
this week end, for his fathers home
at Plymouth, VT.

bituminous operator, visited for a
few minutes with the executive at

ed to discuss either the anthracite
situation or the charges of the

luminous operators are violating the
Jacksonville agreement. Mr.. Gala

coal affairs with the President.

p. l., also called at White Court,
extending the greetings of Governor
General Wood of the Islands. AL

pine questions in detail with the
executive, Mr.. Fairchild later de-
clared strongly against the giving of
independence to the islands, pro-
position which he argued was in
the power of Congress to permit. DR..

SAYS
GERMANY To enter
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Williamstown. Mass, Aug. "a
(AP)-A prediction that Germany
would enter the League Of Nations
was made here today by her ambassa-
dor to the United States, Ago Won
Nathan. On brief visit to the tnsti-
tute of politics. Herr Won Nathan told
interviewers that he foresaw this as a
result of the security pact negotiations
In London between Foreign Minister
BRAND of France and Austen Cham
beriain, British secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
The ambassador said he was graft
fed with dispatches telling of Great
Britain's insistence that French
troops be forbidden to cross Germany's
western frontier without permission
from the league. He believed this in
Dictated an arrangement might be

Fascisrn in Italy was described as
"a miracle of civilization and political
wisdom" by Count Antonio Cippico,
Italian Fascist senator in an institute
lecture tonight. He assailed the So
cialists and Communists of Italy for
their conduct during and since the
war and praised Premier Mussolini as
the defender of Italy's destiny and
greatness.
THE war was the greatest effort
Italy had ever made in her history of
thousands of years" he said. The
peace, in the opinion of the Italian
people. had turned out a tragic farce,
the only people who had prefited by 1t
being Italy's stronger and more able
allies. The nations wealth was de-
stroyed All had to be reconstructed.
No wonder if part of the Italian peo-
pie, struck by this bitter disappoint-
ment. ended by cursing the war and
the victory and lent willing ear to
the alluring chimeras from Moscow"
After describing the Fascists' oppo-
sition to the radicals under Mussolini
and their march on Rome. he said:
"Mussolinfs watchword is discipline
and organization. He foresaw the day
on which the anarchic and individual
istic Italian race, about to submit to
stern national discipline. would be
able to organize itself powerfully. He
foresaw that Italy will count more In
the destiny of the world for her pres
ent political and spiritual greatness
than for the glories of her past.
"The super-democracy that Musso-
lini desires for Italy is the Fascist
form. 1t Is the most interesting Eu-
ropean and world phenomena since the
war"
