Any American Pplan in this connection consequently will be too late. The refusal of the ‘council of the league of natlons to determine the Albanian frontiers is considered the Jatést example of the dg~ermination of many to maintaln tis league in a state of permanent ieptitude. The Albanians, in view of Great Britain's eudo protectorate over Greece and the indebtedness of Jugoslavia to ce, declare that an equable judg- t where the interests of these two lkan states are concerned cannot be expected from the council of am- bexsadors in Paris.

BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. Denmark, July 9.— co-operation between Q’le countries In support of Closer Scandinavian the league of nations and further work toward international peace con- stituted the keynote of the Scandi- navian interparllamentary congress here Wednesday. Two hundred and seventy delegates representing fhe three parliaments gathered In’ the historic park at Hertadalen, where prominent speakers of the three coun- tries pledged themselves to the unity of the northern peoples. Premier Pleads for Unity. Premier Neergaard of Denmark, in his opening address, declared that the northern peoples had attained a close union only after years of bitter struggle and that therefore it be- hooved the leaders of public opinfon to maintain the ground gained and to toke further steps in the same direction.. The selfish principles pro- pounded by the Chauvinistic elements. he said, should give way before the united action involving the welfare of the three peoples. This statement was_made In reply to a small clique of Norweglans who maintain that their country should withdraw en- tirely from interparliamentary action and foliow a separate course of its own. Gunnar Knudgen, the former Norweglan premier. declared the majority of Norwegian public men favored unity, partiamentary and otherwise. He said Premier Neer- gaard's assurance of complete inde- | Bendence. for national acjion would bring a new fecling of safety to those Norweglans who feared the effects of a closer union. Pledges Swedish Atd. Former Premier Hjalmar Brant- Ing of Sweden aroused much enthusi- asm when he pledged Swedish co- operation in the work of preserving the small nations: which must assume the burden of establishing world harmony. Nearly 10,000 people, attending the moeting of the northern union, joined the delegates to the interparlia- mentary meeting In cheering the speakers. —_— TYPHOID INCREASES; INOCULATION IS URGED ISixty-Sevun Cases, With Eight Deaths, Reported to Health Department This Year. With typhold fever on the In- crease in Washington this year, Health Officer Fowler last night urged summer vacationists to Inocu- late themseclves against this disease before going away. To date this year sixty-seven cases of the disease have beeh reported to ithe health department, resulting in elght deaths. For the same period of last year only thirty-one cases were reported, resulting in six deaths. Dr. Fowler announced that the health department will give free vac- cination against typhoid at the Dis- trict ~ building between 12 and 1 o'clock on Wednesdays and Satur- days. Although sixty-seven cases in six months is not sufficlent to cause Dr. Fowler said it should serve to put vacationists on their guard In going to summer resorts. “If those who are going away do not take the anti-typhold jnoculation they at least should boil the drinking water and take other simple precautions at the scashore.” for one month. The health officer said medical science has made little progress in tracing the causes of this affiction and how It is spread. EX-U. S.

TRUCE TO BE TEST OF HOPE FOR FULL PEACE IN IRELAND (Continued from First Page.) which might necessitate military in- terference. A few outrages were reported today. Apparently they occurred at places where the orders to stop fighting had not been received. Alleged to be in reprisal for the recent shooting at South Armagh, Draper Holmes, a unfonist, was shot at several times this morning near Lisdrumliskey on his way to work. He was mortally wounded and died in a hospital. The dead body of & chauffeur named Cummins was found on a road near Cashel, labeled “Convicted spy.” A report has reached Tullamore that crown forces were ambushed Friday evening near Ballyduft hills. After a considerable exchange of shots the attacking party withdrew. So far as known there were no casu- alties. Order Suspends Hostilitles. A general order directing the sus- pension of hostilities during the peace negotiations, the order to be effective from noon July 11, was is- sued this evening by Richard Mul- cahy, chief of staff of the Irlsh re- publican army. The order reads: “To the officers commanding all units: Tn view of the conversations now being entered into by our gov- ernment with the British government and in pursuance of the mutual un- derstandings to suspend hostilities during these conversations, active op- erations by our troops will suépend from noon July IL. Kamon de Valera, the republican leader, issued a manifesto this after- noon urging national unity during the peace negotiations, with “un- bending determination to endure all that s still necessary.” With this is coupled a warning against “undue cozfidence” in the re- sult.

Calles declared: “The infamous machinations of the oll men have failed in their purpose to aliepate the workmen from the government.” Meanwhile the oil men also have had their innings in the newspapers and have published exhaustive lists of figures showing how it is impos- sible to operate at a profit under the recent tax decree. Much Ofl Exported. The department of industry and commerce issued a statement today by its chief petroleum .inspector in Tampico to the effect that two hun- dred thousand tons of oil were ex- ported during the first seven days of July, representing no material de- crease In such exportations. The statement added that many requests were being received for permits to drill new wells and that not more than two thousand men now were out of work as a result of the shutdown in the Tampico region.

By the Associated Pras. RIGA, July 9.~According to an offi- cial Moscow radl> message the com- gress of the Third Interpationale, after a speech by Nikolal Lenin, the soviet premler, adopted a resolution approving the policies of the Russian communists. The resolution also ap- proved “concessions in order to keep the dictatorship of proletarfan Rus- sia until our western brethren can come to our ald.” Soviet Russia, Lenin sald, was re- building her own industries, during a breathing spell in the struggle with capitalistic states, who stil] want, but do not dare, to attack her. Meanwhile the communists must use this same breathing spell to prepare & revolution against all capitalistic countries. Democracy a “Disguise” There would be no liberty or democ- racy with Russia, he declared, as these words were only a disguise for politics, leading to the downfall of the dictatorship of the proletariat, which must continue at all costs. Because of certain factors in the present world situation, he continued, ithe International bourgeoisie has no iance at present of openly attac Viet Russia.

ROME, June 20.—Sardinla is fond of calling herself the “Ireland” of Italy, and of threatening to separat. from'the mother country, whom it ac- cuses of having always behaved to the gallant little in a somewhat herly way. However, the re- cent visit of King Victor Emmanuel to his Sardinian subjects was the oc- casion for an outburst of loval which will oblige the instigators of separatism to defer their hopes. Even the socialists joined in welcoming the King. Sardinia needs roads and railways to bring her splendid harvests of grain and her other agricultural prod- ucts to the mainland, and, above all, government help for reclaiming the unhealthy districts, and systemati- cally and scientifically cc abating the terrible scourge of ma ' ria, which renders many of her moi productive provinces almost uninhabitable for several months of the year. — IRISH HERE DELIGHTED.
