FRAMERS MOVE!
PARIS. Sept. IS.—Newspapers of
I
this city are speculating on the pos- j
sibility of the removal of the peace
conference to London for the con
sideration of the Turkish peace
treaty. England, it is argued, is
most interested, of the Allied na
tions, in the future status of Tur
key, and it is admitted by repre
sentatives of that country that in
fluence is being brought to bear
upon the conference to move.
Premier Lloyd George is among
those in favor of the change, but it
is understood that there is consid
erable opposition among the other
delegates to the' conference, who
:want the deliberations to be eor.

question to be taken up by the

ITALY DETERMINED
TO RELIEVE HUME
PARIS, Sept. 18.—Drastic mea
sures have been decided upon by
the Italian government to remove
the d’Annunzio menace from Fiume.
A cordon of naval and military
units is being thrown around the
city, according to advices received
here this afternoon, and a formal
demand will be made for the sur
render of the forces now in control
of the city.
It is understood to be the inten
tion of the Italian authorities to
destroy the city should such action
become necessary to bring d’Annun
zic to time.
Advices received from Fiume to
dav state that the d’Annunzio
forces have entrenched themselves,
ready to resist any attack that may
be made upon them, but food sup
plies are said to be running low,
I rendering their defense unstable.
SAN* FRANCISCO, Sept. IS.—In
an address delivered in this city
last night to an audience of sixteen
hundred women, President Wilson
explained the workings of the
League of Nations and pointed out
the benefits that would result from
the carrying out of the provisions
of the league covenant.
He said that he had been assured
by representatives of the great pow
ers of the world, at the Paris peace
conference, where the covenant was
framed, that under the League of
Nations there would be a new in
ternational policy for the protection
of Chinese integrity. He said, fur
ther, that the Paris document is the
first treaty ever drafted to recog- j
nize the need and provide for bene-!
fits for China.
!
In answer to a question, the j
President declared that England can- i
not outvote America in the league. |
Neither can foreign governments j
crder American troops abroad, as j
charged by those opposing the!
League of Nations. And the cov- j
enant will not in any way obligate I
.America to aid England in the sup- j
. pression of riots in Ireland, should 1
disturbances occur in that country 1
after the ratification of the treaty. 1
In conclusion, the President said I
the league would exert a powerful
influence toward restoring Shantung
to China.

WASHINGTON', D. C., Sept. It.
—The local city government has re
ceived a communication from Presi
dent Wilson, in which the executive
expresses the belief that an organ
ization of members of the local po
lice force, for the purpose of bring
ing pressure against the public, as
was done at Boston, should not be
countenacCd or permitted under any
circumstances.
The President points out that the
position of a patrolman is unlike
that of industrial workers, since a
strike of policemen exposes the pub
lic to grave dangers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.— Much
anxiety is felt for the safety of
the Spanish passenger steamer Ya!
banera, which is now a week over
due at Havana. It is believeJ the
vessel was delayed enroute by the
recent storm and is now probably
stranded on some shoal along the
coral keys, but the fact that noth
ing has been heard from her since
the storm causes some to fear that
the vessel foundered There are
supposed to be about a thousand
passengers on board the steamer.
Storm a Bad One.
Captain F. L. Miller, of the Ward
liner Mexico, just arrived here, re
ports that his vessel encountered a
huge waterspout during the hurri
cane and narrowly escaped disaster.
The wind he says, blew- fifty miles
ah hour.

BANDITS LOOT CAR
ON CANADIAN ROAD
QUEBEC, Sept. 18.—A mail coach
attached to a Canadian National
train was relieved today of $70,000
in currency and silver, the theft
having been committed by five men
who are supposed to have boarded
the train at Montreal. The robbery
occurred between Montreal and Hal
ifax, the bandits leaving the train
at St. Thomas, where they are now
being hotly pursued by a large
posse.
The bandits appeared in the mail
coach masked and heavily armed,
and, after overpowering the mail
clerks and gagging them, proceeded
to gather up all the cash in the car,
which they placed in sacks. As the
train approached St. Thomas, the
men jumped from the mail car with
their loot and made their escape
before an alarm could be given.
The bandits forced an entrance
to the mail car by battering in the
door.
