With the settlement, if approved by congress and the Italian government, to date rrom June 15 last, for the first five years the annual payment would be approximately $5,000,000 scaling from $14,000,000 to $18,000,000 during the sixth to the fifteenth years, inclusive, and thence increasing to a miximum of $73,000,000 to $80,000,000 during the last seven years. Besides a reduction of back interest charge in fixing the amount to be paid off, the American commission feels that it has made even greater concessions in the future interest charges and the division of annual amortization payments. In addition, it. not only agreed to allow a delay of two years In making a payment whenever Italy's financial condition warranted, but gave permission to pay off the postponed annuities in the third and fourth years after due, with an interest rate of 4 per cent applying on delayed payments. In the British and other settlements, except the Belgian, postponed payments must bo liquidated In the third year. This concession to Italy was made when its delegates withdrew their demand for a safeguard clause against unexpected exchange fluctuations. The American commission's announcement of the settlement pointed to Italy's relative poverty in natural resources and Indicated the consideration It had given that nalton's future in the observation that this "depends upon the development of her industry and the labor of her people."

The American Falls reservoir will be the largest artificial body of water In the United States and the third largest in the world as a result of official authority that was transmitted by the regional office of the United States reclamation service at Denver to Engineer Eanks, in charge of construction at American Falls. The instructions are to build, the dam to its full height and authority is given to Engineer Banks to proceed along that line. This information was transmitted to R.-Shepherd of Jerome, who is in Boise. The order will permit raising the giant dam twelve additional feet, resulting in the impounding of 1,700,000 acre feet of water in a reservoir that will be thirty-fivmiles long. This is an addition of approximately 700,000 acre feet, as under the former plans had they been carried out, and the height of the dam not raised, the reservoir would have impounded 1,045,-00acre feet of water. The raising of the dam, permitting the Impounding of 700,000 acre feet additional, will make it possible to have water sufficient to take care of all the land that can be irrigated below American Falls, east of and Mountain Home, but does not include the land in the Home project. Under the original plans the dam was to be constructed on a basis of $7 per acre-fooUnder the increased plan as now authorized the charge will be $5 per acre-foothe cheapest storage now in existence in the United States. This saves the settlers $2 per acre-foo- t. To the American Falls reservoir district it means a saving of more than $600,000. It makes possible all of the available storage of the great Snake river and the maintaining of a water level that will be satisfactory at all times, whether it happens to be a short or a long water year. In other words, there always will be in the reservoir sufficient water to irrigate the lands that are included within the district, said Mr. Shepherd. ABOLISH AGAINST Territory Harrisburg, Pa. Asking that action be taken to "end gross violation" of the law by holders of federal alcohol jtermits, Governor Pinchot in a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has suggested a personal with the secretary on the question of prohibition enforcement. The governor's letters, written after conferences here with state police heads, prohibition enforcement agents and Major William G. Murdock, Philadelphia, of the federal enforcement administration, was ia reply to Secretary Mellon's promise in a letter dated November 4 of close with the Pennsylvania state authorities in the control of breweries. After thanking the secretary for his assurances that federal permits would be withheld from breweries that have been operating unlawfully Governor Pinchot declared that the Tiolation of the law in the denatured alcohol field had been more vicious and far more important than the breweries. He asked that action be " taken to put a stop to these "gross Yiolations," and offered the assistance of the state police in doing so. The governor said ho was prepared to offer the details of more than a hundred such violations. He said illegal diversions of alcohol was possible "mainly because government regulations allow the distilleries to ship their products to a denaturing plant at a distance." "It is not necessary," saTid the governor's letter, "to discuss mistaken statements in your letter further than to point out the present regulations do not forbid putting strong beer into racking machines; that no permit I can trace has ever been revoked in Pennsylvania for putting strong beer Into racking machines, barrels or bottles, and that the state police have not actually been given the right to Inspect breweries at any time, as your letter assures me they have. Several days after the date of it they were refused admission to a number of permit holding breweries. I assume this will be corrected at once."

Stone declared. "It is unlikely that I shall bring ac tion against Blazer again." "We are satisfied," was the declaration of Lewis Mowry, chief of defense counsel. "At least a division of opinion Indicates there were some minds on the jury who considered that the cold facts of law should be tempered with justifiable mercy." The jurors refused to Intimate how they stood in their balloting when they filed out of the courtroom following their discharge. Dr. Blazer was taken into custody of Sheriff Roy Haynes to be held until he furnished bail while District Attorney Stono reached a decision on what further action may be taken. The district attorney indicated, however, that It was most unlikely that Blazer would be brought to trial again. "I shall probably ask for bail of $5000, the same as he was held under previously," Stona said. "Homicide for love" was the way Blazer's act was characterized by defense during the trial. "We grant that he slew the girl, but we deny that he did it with malice aforthought or that he was sane when he did it," was the burden of the defense. The slaying was prompted by the fear that he would be taken and that Hazel would become a burden on someone else. Dr. Blazer declared In letters which he wrote to explain his act. After the slaying, the old doctor made two unsucessful attempts to end his life once with poison and the other time by slashing his throat with a razor. to be said for chose "who think England should take the lead" in outlawing the undersea boat as a war weapon. She foresaw that America would back England in such a cause. Only recently at Flymouth, Lady Astor declared she was ready to go among the women of the entire world to rouse them against the undersea weapon. This word from her has started statesmen of England and America thinking and talking of submarine scrapping which failed at the Washington arms conference on objections from France. Asked to give her views In greater detail the charming Southerner, the first woman to have a seat in the British imperial parliament, said: "I feel very strongly that we should do something to halt this horrible thing. ' "My own experience among the wives of officers and men is that the submarine service should be abolished by agreements. How this is to be done I do not know. I think Great Britain did all it could at the Washington conference, but was stopped by France. "It is now for France to make the trial." France, Lady Astor suggested, has become calmer since the days of the Washington conference; for in the meantime the Locarno peace pacts have arisen to give her an air of security which France then felt was lacking. "On the other hand," continued Lady Astor, "there is a good deal to be said for those who think that England' should take the lead and call a fresh conference, whether it is held or not. Even if refusals come, we should at least know where we stand. "I feel sure that the United States would back us up." Such a conference, she said, ought to include Russia; for, without that nation, any agreement reached would be not complete. "I believe," she said, "that, if the conference Is actually called, Russia would Join." San Will Map Alaska Coast Pedro, Calif.
