D'ANNUNz|O TO END
VOLUNTARY EXILE
ItaIv's SoIdier-Poet to Attend
Celebration Honoring st.
Francis of Assist.
BY the Associated Press.


GARDONE, Italy, March 10
Gabrielle d'Annunzio 1taly's soldier
poet, announced yesterday that he in
tends definitely to terminate his self
imposed exile on March 27. On that
date he will attend the ceremony at
Assist to honor the memory of st.
Francis and will plant the first trees
for the reforestation of Mount SUI
basic, which he suggested as fitting
memorial to the saint, instead of the
erection of a monument.
D'Annunzio has been in seclusion
in his villa at Lake Garda since last
June. He announced at that time
that he would shut himself in his
workshop. where his literary labors
could not be interrupted except by
an unanticipated thunderbolt."
He was reported to have broken
his exile twice--once to receive his
wife and celebrate publication Of
new edition of his works, and again
to celebrate the anniversary of one
of his aviation exploits In the World
War.
Shortly after his period of seclu-
sion began he wrote a letter to a
firm of piano manufacturers announC-
ing that he was solaced by the spirit
Of Franz List who played the piano
for him, producing "a beautiful rhyth-
mis- tempest"
On another occasion a friend re-
ported that he had invented a new
liquNlr made fran cherries, and that
he was planning a sort of factory
on the banks of Lake
Garda. where monks would turn out
the new elixir in quantity.

PASTOR OPENS CLUB:
RELIGION IS BARRED
Minister Turns Church Over on
Sunday Night to Keep Young
Folk Off Streets.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WOLVERHAMPTO England.
March 13.-It was because this town
had been voted as absolutely dead"
on Sunday nights that Rev. G. D.
Walker decided to transform the
Presbyterian Church into a Sabbath
night club, so as to compete with the
corner pubs"
One of the cardinal rules is that
religion is not to be discussed, the
pastors idea being to arrange an en-
tertainment which will appeal to the
young men and women and keep them
off the streets after nightfall.
Mr.. Walker, explaining the pur-
poses of the Sunday night club and
cabaret, said he had been prompted
to organize this form of entertain.
ment to give the boys and girls
something to do on Sunday nights
other than stroll about the streets
and make remarks about the pass
ers-by."
"Wolverhampton is absolutely
dead on Sunday night, as you all
know, and there's nowhere to go
except the pubs after the churches
are closed. The idea is to provide
tbs kind of Sunday evenings such as
we should like TO have at home"
Mr.. Walker added that the club
had already proved itself a success
as definite social institution and
that it was proposed to open new
centers in other towns as rapidly as
possible.
The musical program is given in
the church's lecture hall, and on the
inaugural night consisted of pieces
by an all-girls' band, songs by a popu
lar local baritone and soprano and
humorous sketches
The young people sit at small
tables containing copies of magazines
and popular weeklies. In a corner
Is a bar where sandwiches may be
bought for two pence each, packets
of biscuit for half penny, and also
tea. coffee. lemonade and other light
refreshments.
Mr.. Walkers announcement of
intention to open the club was made
after the hearing of summonses
against 36 boys and girls who had
been charged with street obstruction
and fines of about so cents were
imposed in the majority of the cases.
