Instructions on the Italian govern- | ment's attitude in the matter, given the new Ambassador prior to sailing, roughly, are as follows Recognizes Contract. | Italy recognizes her debts and in- tends to pay them within the limits | of possibility. Although the Itallan people almost universally feel that their debts were morally washed out with the blood of the Italian dead, the government recognizes t contract is a contract. It assumes, however, that the United States would | severe that it would national economy. Business men appreclate the fact that it would be to the advantage of no one to drive Italy toward bank- ruptey by heavy taxation when she is| just emerging from the financial dul-i arums. It is also pointed out that Italy is much poorer than France in nat- ural resources and has had a much harder economic struggle since. the war. Furthermore, one of her chief sources of national income — emi- grants’ remittances—Is being grad- ually strangied by Immigration re- strictions. It must be added that public opinion is decidedly not eager to have the subject opened now. The newspapers, including the Fascist press, deny the moral validity of Italy war debts, but the govern- ment, against considerable pressure, stubbornly maintains the formal at- titude just described.

French Tourist Card Fee Increased - From 10 to 72 Francs by Chamber Vote By the Associated Press. | PARIS, February 26.—The Cham- | ber of Deputies has adopted the article In the revenuq bill rais- ing the fee for an Identity card —which all foreign visitors in- tending to stay in France more than a fortnight must obtain with- in 48 hours of their arrival—from 10 francs to 60, plus supplenmen- tary taxes of § and 4 francs for the department and city of issue respectively, making a charge of 72 franes in all. 7 The cards are valld for three years, when they must be renewed and the fee for renewal is fixed at 200 francs, the object being to distinguish between mere tourists LN and more or less permanent resi- dents, which, it is felt, ought to be asked to make a contribution to the French revenue over and above. the ordinary taxes which they pay like other inhabitants, since neither they nor their chil- dren are liable to military service. Exception is made in the cases of foreign students and workmen, for whom the fee is fixed at 10 francs, either for issuance of the card or renewal. It is estimated that this tax on foreigners will yield from 200,000, 000 to 300,000,000 francs annually.

It was explained that the officer was tried before a summary court at his | Asiatic station on charges based on | drunkenness and insubordination, but both Rear Admiral Washington, com- manding, and Secretary Wilbur were of the opinion the punishment, a sus- | pension, was too lenient. Steps to or- {der a court-martial were in progress. it was said, when Kennedy was com- mitted to the asylum. Details of the incidents which led up to the charges against Lieut. Kennedy have not been made public, but it was said at the department that in one report from him he had mentioned the automobile incident, naming ' Lieut. Christie, Kennedy's immediate com- manding officer at the time. The report of the naval medical sur- vey on which Lieut. Kennedy was com- mitted to the insane asylum has not been received as-yet by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery at the Navy De- partment.

PRESIDENT EBERT DANGEROUSLY ILL German Executive Develops Peritonitis After Appendi- citis Operation. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, February 26—President Hbert, who underwent an operation Tuesday morning for appendicitis, developed peritonitis last night. He was somewhat better this morning, but his condition was still serious. The president’s physician this morning issued a bulletin which read: “The president suddenly fell ill at noon on February 23 with u severe case of appendicitis, which necessi- tated an operation that nignt, De- spite the fact that the operation was undertaken soon after the illness de- veloped, the appendix was found badly Inflamed and partially punc- tured, so that peritonitis developed.” “The course of the illness was sat- isfactory until last night, but as often happens on the third day, the peri- tonitis became worse last evening, so that the president spent an unecasy night. “This morning his condition improved, but was still serious.” President Ebert's secretary sald this noon that the patient’s physicians expected the crisis in his case to come today. The president’s family, whose mem- bers were summoned to the-hospital during the night, returned home to the executive mansion early today, but with the understanding they would go to the hospital again this afternoon. The president’s condition early this afternoon was still very serious. While the patient was sleeping at 2 o'clock this afternoon, it was re- ported that his heart action was not so0 strong as the hospital attendants hoped and there was much apprehen- sion about his condition.

Asked 70 Cents Hourly. The present wage scale is 52 cents an hour for the first three months, 56 cents for the next nine months and 58 cents thereafter. The employes, yesterday petitioned for a flat rate of 70 cents an hour. The company, in reply, served no- tice that ft wiil ask the arbitrators to consider the following reduced scales: For conductors, motormen and bus operators in the service on March 30, 1923—First three months’ service, cents an hour; next nine months, cents, and after twelve months, cents.

In a letter addressed today to John H. Cookman, secretary of the union. corge . Hamilton, president of the company, summed up the reasons for the company’s counter proposition as follows: “That the increase in wages tained through arbitration in over the schedule of wage established by the contract of 1923 was not, in our opinion, justified by existing con- ditlons. “That the furth®r increase In wages now asked by you in your letter of February 24 is still less justifiable and is not supported by a correspond- ing increase in the cost of living over said costs In 1923, when the contract was entered into Want Old Schedule. “We believe, that conditions fairly considered, the schedule of wages agreed upon and contained in the agreement between us of the 26th of March, 1923, should be reinstated.” In concluding the letter, Mr. Ham- ilton sai While willing now or at any time to confer with you or other representatives of our employes, we think, in view of the fact that we are so far apart in our judgment and conclusions on this subject, that it would be unuseful to attempt an agreement by conference, and suggest that arbitration be resorted to as provided for in section 2 of said con- tract.” ob- —_— SENATE AUTHORIZES DAM INVESTIGATION Reclamations Committee to Sift Boulder Canyon Project Proposal.
