LONDON, December 9.—Americans will at an early date have the op- portunity of welcoming a distin- ®uished British artist in the person of Margaret Lindsey Willlams, who will shortly proceed to Washington for the purpose of painting a portrait of President Harding. Sittings have been arranged for next January. Daughter of a south Wales ship broker, Miss Willlams has had a phe- nomenally successful career, and by general consent she now flgures in the front rank of living British por- trait painters. Miss Williams first studied art at the Cardiff Technical College and later at the Royal Academy of Arts under Sir Arthur Cope, R. A., and George Clausen, R. A. She subsequently studied for some years in Italy, France and Hollands Among the most notable of her paintings which have been hung at the Royal Academy and exhibited in most of the principal cities of the United Kingdom are “Dives and Lazarus,” “The City of Refuge,” “The Baptistry at San Marco, Venice,” “I he Shawod of the Palatine, Rome,” His Majesty King Edward VII ‘The Triumph” and “The Devil's Daughter.” Other paintings include “Her Maje ty Queen Alexandra” (in her maje: ty's possession), “H. R. H. the Prince of Wales” (in possession of Queen Mary). and “An Empire Tribute to the Flag of Stars,” a large allegori- cal picture, purchased by the late Capt. Ira B. Castell, commissioner of the American Red 'Cross for Wales during the war. This painting was exhibited at the Washington Red Cross headquarters and, at Denver, Colo., on Armistice day, 1921. It should be mentioned that Miss ‘Willlams has just completed a large picture of the scene in Westminster -Abbey on the occasion of the great Welsh service held there in 1918. This canvas, which measures 18 feet by 10 feet. contains about 180 por- ~tralts of distinguished people. at| none too ! y national ! of France's, H ne her under | Ar 1 able attitude toward {ta Washing n! i 1 It must come_ soon, | ing t ~aytthing in Europe | Cuban government. d | {and it they are in the depositors of the defunct Banco | Radio Time Held 50th of Second By the Associated Press. «GOTHENBURG, December 9. From Gothenburg, Sweden, to New more time will be required for the transmission of a wireless message when the powerful new radio sta- tion near Varberg, south of Gothen- burg, is finished. The work on the half-million-dollar contract by the Radio Corporation of America for the equipment of this station has begun in earnest. A large force of men is busy on the founda- tions for the masts for the two separate systems of antennae, -one for sending and the other for receiv- ing. One of the first steps is the in- stallation of a so-called balance met, which consists of copper wires laid in the earth at regular distances. This new radio station, which prob- ably will be known as the Grimeton station, will be used for simultane- ous messages in both directions be- tween Sweden and the United States. The radio system which is to be in- stalled is the now universally known Ale on's system, invemted by h engineer, . T. W. Alex- who now is ociated with the Radio Corporation of America as chief engineer. The mechanisms at Grimeton will work automatically, requiring only two or three attendants for the recelving di- vision, and about a dozen for the sending division. The actual hand- ng of messazes will be done thenburg tarough land wires con- nected with Grimeton.

TARIFF LAW Disturbing Powers Equaled Only by That of Versailles Treaty, Says Allgemeine Zeitung. he wear it | By the Associated Press EERLIN, December 9.—The eftects of the new tariff law of the United jStates are so intense and far-reaching l | z l sailles tr as to be equaled only by the “mon- strous disturbing powers” of the Ver- ty, declares the Allgemeine Zeitung. The customs barrier erected by America. says the newspaper, leaves only a limited opportunity for coun- tries requiring Imports from the United States to pay for them in ex- ports to America, Coupled with the general desti- tution of Europe, this could mean nothing more than a passive trade balance for every European country. If the oft-expressed wish of the United States for “the recovery of the unhealthy economic world” were really in earnest, the new law would have presented an entirely different appearance. “In any case,” adds the Zeitung, it is a very sharp, yet unfortunately double-edged weapon, whose point must ultimately be directed against their own people. ‘Pin Money’ Army Defeats England’s War on Idleness By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 9.—One im- portant element in England's unem- ployment difficulty. which is now being universally discussed. is the large number of so-called ‘“pin money"” workers, who have private incomes, but enter various profes- sions as their avocations. A rep- resentative of one London news- paper canvassed the various trades and professions and found that many persons forced to work for a living were experiencing difficulty in com- peting with those, who already had independent incomes. One typist ad- mitted that her parents were rich, but said she worked because she was “bored” at home. ‘This condition is perhaps most prevalent in the theatrical profes- sion, which receives many society ‘women, who care but for the thrills of appearing before the footlights and for the satisfaction of scoring professional successes. Consequently there are hundreds of struggling ac- tors and actresses who, even if they have employment, earn barely enough to_keep the wolf away. ‘The hospitals also are said to be full or financially independent nurses, who, by their desire to work, are depriving well trained nurses of lucrative positi ared | counsellor in the Cu- ! from Havana en route | HIT BY BERLIN PRESS THE SUNDAY STAR. .

ON MOROCCAN DISASTER By the Associated Presa. MADRID, December 9.—The demon- stration organized for Sunday in the streets of Madrid to demand the ac- cusation of those persons responsible for the Moroccan disaster has taken immense proportions. The procession, which has been authorized, will pro- ceed through the principal streets and avenues. One hundred associations have noti- fied the Atenco, which organized the demonstration, of their intention to participate. In addition to members of the Ateneo, there will bo woman associations, fathers and mothers, of men killed in the Moroccan fightihg, | students' unions, neighborhood clubs, peace societies, .commercial and i dustrial federations, workers' assocl- ations, trades unions and political clubs. 3 The soldiers have received orders to remaln in their barracks, while of- ficers have been instructed not to ap- proach the route of the demonstra- tion under severe penaity.

By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, December 9.—Another train attack, such as have been com- mon in Ireland recently, was carried out at Liffey Junction, near Dublin, jeopardizing the lives of fifty pas- sengers, among them five women. A score of men with revolvers held up a mail train from the west, com- pelled the “engineer to alight and ordered the passengers to the rear car. They then poured kerosene on the rest of the train, set fire to it and started the engine. Other men, mean- time, tried, but failed, to uncouple the rear car, which was carried along at the tail of the blazing cars. Seeing that the last car was still attached to the rain, the attacking party party shouted to the passengers to jump. All of them thus saved their lives, but many were badly hurt. Two men, apparently students, en- tered. Mercer's Hospital yesterday, proceeded to a ward guarded by a police officer and ordered him to throw up his hands.

PARIS, December 9.—How the whole town of Tulle was set by the ears through anonymous letters will be investigated in the case of Mile. Laval, just brought to trial on the charge of having written the mischievous - missives. The rivalry of two young women in a love affair is supposed to have started the trouble. The anony- mous letters exposed the weak points in the lives of only a lim- ited number of interested indi- viduals at the start, but the un- derground work soon took on a wider scope. After setting individuals against one another it embroiled families. ‘Then it set whole neighborhoods in a turmoil. Mlle. Laval protests her inno- cence. . The handwriting experts are divided In opinion. One expert declares she wrote the letter. An- other says there is no proof that she did. "Among the general public there i8 a widespread notion that ‘whoever started this poison pen movement was not alone in it, and that after the example was set every one who had a grudge to work off seized the opportunity, until the whole town was thus en- gaged in paying up old scores. How many grudges a small town like Tulle, with 16,000 inhabitants, can store up is indicated by the fact that it took nearly two years to work them out through the agonymousaletge; tem.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, PARIS, December 9.—The fruits of victory have been abandoned. While it is not yet known whether the Turks will accept the proposal that they retain the Dardanelles guaranteeing free use to all nations, the fact that it was offered is a con- fesslon of weakness. International control of the straits, one of the outstanding policies of the war, thus passes from, the domain of facts to the domain of words.
