This might be a good time for Germany to discuss the revision of the Dawes Plan with Chamberlin! * J * HIS is a great age. Flying across the ocean without stopping will soon be as prosaic as taking the sub- way to Brooklyn. And much less con- fusing. At least when one hits Europe he has a general ‘idea of where he is at. There was a time when the hardy Wright who assayed such a feat would be burned at the stake for flying in the face of providence. The world does move, whether in circles or not. * * * LL the poor relations of the fa- mous flyers who want to see them- selves in the papers should get busy before it is too late. Editors are scouring the country for pictures of Chamberlin’s wife, mother, father, child or children. Mrs. Chamberlin is shown peering over a map of Eu- rope, or an alleged map. Probably it is not a map and probably the person that is looking it over is not Mrs. Chamberlin.

They are waiting to be shipped somewhere. There dre jobs in iron ore mines, in farms and in hotels. Perhaps those signs are blinds to attract customers to the joint. * * * YOUNG Swede walks up to al shark and exhibits interest in the idea of taking a job. The shark is also interested. But the Swede is nobody’s fool. He wants to learn the location of the job with a view to do- ing the shark out of: his honest com- mission.

Anarchist is Held Here at Request of Fascist Gang Armando Borghi, well known in anarchist circles is being held for deportation to Italy because the fas- cist government of that country noti- fied the American authorities that he is a dangerous man. Recently ‘the American immigration authorities were notified by the Ital- ian government that Borghi had en- tered this country illegally and that he is an anarchist. Representatives of the immigra- tion department and Detective Repet- to of the New York police depart- ment arrested him Friday evening as he started to speak at a Sacco and Vanzetti meeting at Columbia Hall,; 210 Fourth Ave., Brooklyn. Borghi is now on Ellis Island and as soon as $2,500 is’ raised he will be released on bail while his case is being fought. His return to Italy would undoubtedly result in immedi- ate death. Not long ago Borghi visited Sacco. and Vanzetti in their New England prison.

With all New York Bay to maneu- ver in, these navigators managed to locate Diamond Reef, between Gov- ernors Island and the Battery while proceeding into the East River. The ship hung on the ledges for 36 hours, in grave peril of breaking in two.

The Yugoslav Charge d’ Affaires, it was learned today, and | the Legation Staff left the Albanian capital Saturday night. The encroachment of Fascist Italy |in the Balkans has created fuel for a flame which may break out at any |moment. Operating thru Albania, which he has made a virtual depen- dency of Italy, Mussolini has taken every opportunity to provoke Yugo- slavia into a war. The immediate cause of the break is reported to be due to the failure of the pro-Fascist Albanian govern- | ment to accept the Yugoslav demand for the release of an attache of the | Legation at Tirana, recently arrest- ed by the Albanian authorities. Italy Prepares For War That Italy is making every prep- aration for a Balkan war is indicat- (ed in dispatches describing the fever- ish manfacture of munitions in vari- ous industrial centers.
