NEW LIGHT THROWN | ONTALY'S CLAIMS Minimum Territorial Demands: on France in Africa Are Set Forth. By Radio to The Star | LONDON, September 15.—The most | re-ent information available concerning | the minimum territorial demands of | 1 Italian government in Southern has revealed this troublesome p of the current Franco-Italian controversy in an entirely new light. Paradoxically enough, this particular dispute, which involves alarm for the actual transference of territory from | the French to Italian sovereignity, now arpears more amendable te settlement than do a number of other points at | jsue between the two Mediterranean Nearly all recently published articles on the Libya boundry question have assured A firm demand on the part of Rome for a wide strip of French-occu- pied territory extending from the pres- ent frontier of the province of Fezzan in the north nearly 600 miles south to Lake Chad. Such a considerable trans- fer of territory would extend the Italian North _African possession southward from the Medeterranean coast line to double its present length, and would, in | fact, completely sever communication | between French West Africa and | French equatorial Africa | French Colomal Policy Is Bar. Any one at all conversant with French colonial policy could remark how | little was the chance of France per- mitting such a thing to come to pass, how well founded might be the claims of another power. In conse- quence the impression has become | widespread that here in Southern Libya French and Italian claims were hardly even under the most favorable circum- | stances to be reconciled. An_article published as recently as fast month in the French periodica “I'Tilustration” refers to the actual Ttalian territorial demand as for the territory extending as far south as Lake | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

GENOA, Italy, September 15.—The famous confraternity of the Caravanae, a guild of longshoremen, who are under vows never to swear or drink to ex- cess, paraded today, clad in magnifi- cent hand-embroidered coats of gold and silver and violet colored velvet, woven on hand looms in the twelfth cen- tury, in honor of their patron, St. Catherine of Genoa, a cotemporary of Columbus. Bearing ancient church lanterns of wrought gold aloft on tall coral-colored standards, these most unsual dockers led the procession through the city streets in commemoration of the saintly and noble lady who was a member of the noted Fieschi family. Flags were flying from all the windows, the ban- ners of the proud old seaport being stacked beside those of Ttaly and many other countries whose ships put in here.

Inside the Church of St Catherine, where the procession ended, Marchesa Cattaneo, a descendant of the Fieschi, knelt by the glass casket in which reposes the holy woman'’s body, whether by ingenious embalming or by miracle, preserved today just as at her death in 1510.

The claims of the st type are admittedly of a somewhat doubtful validity, because of the accord of 1902, whereto the Italian foreign minister was party. Thus the principal basis for the pres- | ent claims is the pact of London under which France and Britain agreed to ble compensation” in ed their African hold- pense of Germany.
