EUROPEAN SITUATION TENSE,
!. BALTIC-BALKAN JEALOUSIES
AN ACTUAL MENACE TO PEACE

LONDON, Nov. 26 -Uneasiness
over the more or less serious threats
to European peace from a half dozen
disturbed areas from the Baltic to
the Balkans ruled the chancelleries
of the great powers today. The
strained relations of a number OF
smaller countries constitute a difficult
problem, it was freely admitted by
officials, but todayS crop OF reports
were less pessirnistic than yesterday.
Consequently in Downing street as
well as Berlin and Paris authoritative
opinion was that there is not likely
to be a blaze from the smoldering
international discord unless some
particular country should lose its
head completely and commit on overt
act.
In the weekend reports of the
apparently critical Polish-Lithuanian
situation there was a degree OF
calmneSs not apparent during the
past few days. It is felt that in
view of the fact that the council of
the league of nations will treat some
aspects of this problem next week
neither Poland nor Lithuania will do
anything tc prejudice a proper in
quiry or make relations worse.
Soviet Russia's friendly note to both
countries expressing concern over
their strained relations, stated that

matte world on Thursday, has not
caused the uneasiness that might
have been expected. The British view
is that both the French and Jugo-
slav press as well as officials seem
to view the situation calmly with no
serious fears for the future.

JOHN CARDINAL BONANZO dies
In ROME APOSTOLIC DELEGATE
TO UNITED STATES FOR A TIME

ROME, Nov. &c, P)-The death OF
John Cardinal Bonanza, one time
Apostolic delegate to the United
States, today, at the age OF sixty
years, came as a shock to Vatican
circles, although it was not wholly
unexpected
from the cardinals sick room yes
terday, after earlier reorts had in
dicated he was improving from an
operation for stomach trouble a
week ago.
The cardinal prepared for the SER
ious operation as if he were prepar-
ing for death it became known to-
day. For two OF three days before
he went to the hospital he spent
his time arranging his affairs SO
that in the event of his death ali
worldly matters would have been
concluded. Just before the opera
ton Saturday morning, he confessed
to Father Alisiardi and took COM
munion administered by Canon Bina,
who was friend of more than a
quarter century's standing.
While the cardinal was in the hos
pital he took communion daily, and
just before hi sdeath received the
last sacraments and the papal bene-
diction.
just before Cardinal Bonanza went
to the operation table, he was in
formed that prayers we're being said
for him by hundreds of persons and
he replied: ST do not know if these
prayers will aid me to get well but
I am sure they will aid me to die
wekk, and so am grateful to those
who pray for me-"
The Cardinal passed away peace
fully in the presence of brothter
and sister, who came from Pied
mont to see him, and others who
knelt as he was dying.
The body was taken late this
evening to his home, where it will
lie in state until Tuesday, when it
will be taken to the church of the
Sacred Heart. Funeral services there
will be held Wednesday morning.
Four large candles burned tonight
at the four corners of bed in the
throne room of the Cardinals apart
ment where his body was lying in
state. The room is decorated in
red damask with gold fringes and
a large quantity of flowers were
scattered around it.
The cardinal lay in a restful atti-
tude, holding a crucifiX his breast.
Several nuns knelt on each side of
the bed praying devoutly.
Because of the late hour only a
few intimate friends were admitted
to the room tonight, but tomorrow
it may be seen by everybody.
Cardinal De Lai, secretary of con-
sistorial congregations, who has
also been sick was still weak to-
night. He was helped by Digitalis
and Caffein.
Cardinal Gasparri, apal secretary
of state, another wearer of the red
hat who has been i'll, was very much
better today. He got up this after
noon and visited Cardinal De Lai in
Rome, which is across the River
Tiber from the Vatican.

Dissatisfied with the small num-
ber of weapons-an automatic re-

thanksgiving riot, Warden Court
Smith this morning ordered the
search and set his guards at the
task. BY night much of the old cell

ers are quartered had been covered
and four knives and a heavy iron
bolt had been uncovered. The search
of the prison is expected to be COM
pleted by tomorrow night.
The 2100 prisoners, with the ex-
ception of a few TRUSTEES needed on
the farm and in some of the offices
around the prison, are being kept
in their cells and will be kept there
until the search is completed and
prison routine restored to normal.
In the search the men in a cell
are removed, searched and then their
cells are gone over The tops of the
cell tiers also are being examined,
and Warden Smith was informed
some Of the knives taken were found
concealed there.
The search was started in the

Smith-Vare Senatorial Con-
troversies Among the
First Things at Hand.

WASHINGTON Nov. 26 tP)-The
10th congress has made a running
start for it's first session, which be-
gins a week from Monday, but it has
long, hard winter and spring ahead
of it. The host of returning senators
and representatives today found a
tax revision bill and several appro-
priation measures practically ready
for house action and a fair beginning
made on the tremendous problem OF
flood relief.
Likewise organization states in the
two houses have been set up for
formal approval with every indication
that the republican rnajorities would
have control of the senate and the
house. While organization of the
house will be perfected on the open
ing day, that of the senate may be
DELAYED until the second or third
day of the session, while the row
over the seating of Senators-elect
Frank L. Smith of Illinois and Will
liam S. Ware of Pennsylvania, both
republicans, is being threshed out
Thus the senate as well as the house
wiz start right CIT on some Of the
most important questions which will
face it and the Christmas recess is
apt to find the Snith-Vare case
disposed of and the tax reduction
measure passed by the house.
The 8 Smith Ware fight will be
launched when those senator's -elect
are called to the dais by Vice Presi-
dent Dawes to take the oath OF
office. Objection is to be raised to
administering the oath and alter the
full and free discussion in which the
senate invariably indulges a majority
will decide the question.
Leaders on both sides predict that
neither Smith nor Ware will be given
the oath and that their cases, in
volving expenditures in their primary
campaigns, will be referred to the
elections committee with instructions
to make an early report as to whether
they should be seated.
Organization of the senate is eX..
pected to follow the vote on the oath
to these members and then the two
houses will appoint the usual COM
mittee to notify President Coolidge
that congress Is ready to function.
On the day following, the presidents

ports from the budget bureau and

ments and agencies will descend upon

10000 FANS In ATTENDANCE

CHICAGO, Nov. 26 (P)-The Trojans
from the, University of Southern Cali
fornia, coming out of the west un-
defeated, lost heartbreaking one
point football game to Notre Dame on
Soldier field this afternoon to g.
before 10000 spectators, the greatest
throng that ever witnessed a gridiron
struggle in America
The victory was a repetition of the
Notre Dame triumph of a year ago
when Roeknes Rarnblers snatched a
1872 Victory over the Trojans at Los
Angeles.
The Trojans, in smashing iiresisti-
able attack, scored early in the first
period with Captain Morley Drury
their brilliant quarterback and candi-
date for all-American honors, tossing
a forward pass to Russell Saunders
that resulted in the touchdown. When
Drary sent his toe, crashing against
the ball in an attempt to add the extra
point, Chilly Walsh, the Notre Dame
right end, hurled himself against the
ball and blocked it, giving Notre Dame
the break it needed
Both Scores In First Quarter
A few minutes later in the same
period Notre Dame found its chance TO
score, opened up with it's aerial shots
and tossed q pass across the goal line
with Charley Riley the little quarter
back, Ileaving the ball to Ray Dahl
man. Then with the Notre Dame line
holding like stone wall, Dahlman
stepped back and successfully booted a
drop kick for the added point, giving
Notre Dame it's edge, and finally, vic
tory.
Thereafter, for the remaining. three
periods, the fighting Notre Dame team,
with frequent shifts in the lineup, set
up a defense that held the coast in
vaders in check, stopped the running
attack of Drury and twice nipped
surges that threatened their goal line.
individually the game resulted in a
thrilling offensive battle between
Drury and Christy Flanagan, Notre
Danes great halfback.
Flanagan, playing his last game for
Notre Dame, overshadowed all his
