FIUME TREASURY’S CASH IS VIEWED AS PROBLEM Money, Obtained Principally by ZLooting Ship Cogne, Amounts to About 13,000,000 Lire. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. ROME, Italy, January 17.—What is to be done with the money in the Fiume treasury is something of a problem. This money amounts to 13,000,000 lire (normally $2,600,000) and was obtained chiefly from the looting of the ship Cogne. It was re- cently reported that it had been stolen by arditi, but this_appears to have been a mistake. The Rome Epoca says that €000.000 lire (§1.200,000) is 10 be given back to the city of Fiume, which had loaned the money to the regency of the Quarnero: that 2,500, 000 lire ($500.000) is to be distributed among the city’s poor and those dam- aged by the siege: that 2.500,000 lire is to be divided among the legion- naires at the rate of 500 lire ($100) per soldier and 1.000 Jire ($200) per officer, and that 1.000.000 ($200,000) is to be given to the poet for the crea- tion of a legionnaires’ association and the founding of a newspaper. Gabriele d"Annunzio js already writ- ing a history of the siegé, which later will be_incorporatel in a book on the entire Fiume undertaking.

PAPEETE, Tahiti,” January 17— Indignation is expressed by Tahitl residents because magazines, moving pictures -and Sunday ' supplement pages of the mainland have long pictured native Tahiti women as wearing few clothes, when, as a mat- ter of fact, the average native wom- an’s dress is a Mother Hubbard, which begins behind the ears and flares voluminously to the grass tops. “The impression has got abroad that beauty unadorned is one of the chief features of our landscape,” one Tahiti resident said recently. “As a matter of fact, we see that sort of thing about as frequently as New Yorkers See a band of Choctaws striding down'Broadway in full war paint. “Such _shocking pictures as have appeared in mainland prints and mov- ies are merely photographer's tricks. “Missionearies changed the style of native dress long before any of the present generation were born, and designed the Mother Hubbard for the female of the species here.” READ HIS MIND.
