CELEBRATE VICTORY.
* FIUME, Dec., 29— The anniversary
of the Italian Victory on the i
>vas celebrated here by a great demon
stration, in which the whole population
^ of Fiume, both military and civilian
participated. It began at the Monu
ment of Anchor,” a marble base, like
an altar, supporting the anchor which
belonged to the fi^t ital’sn warship
ti put into the port of Fiume after the
war. All Fiume - mani testations cent
er there, as in ancient "on e they cent
f< d at the crpit« i and in modern
Rome at the altar on the monument to
\ ictor Emraanuci
Every man, woman : nd child in
F»nme seemed t*» U gathered round
the monument, vl»‘«h soon com
pletely covered ir. lowers, while of
ficers, soldiers, sailors, «*!imbed up ail
over it, waving their caps and singing.
There are any number of these songs
written for the volunteera of d'Annun
aio’s expedition, such as: “Noi siamo i
disertori, ma non di Caporetto,’* (“We
* are the deserters, but not the ones of
Caporetto,” referring to Nitti’s speech
in the Chamber when the news of the
expidition to Fiume reached Rome, on
which occasion he branded all d‘An
nunxio’s men as deserters.) Hundreds
of flags were grouped artistically
lound the monument and about than
gathered in a picturesque spectacle the
different battalions of the orditi,
^ wearing their red, blue and black fea
ses, the officers with caps tilted at a
takish angle, reminiscent in their ap
pearance of the “musejueteers” of the
umes of “D’Atagnan.”
After several persons had spoken
amid constantly growing enthusiasm,
21 procession was formed, which, with
fiags and banners at the head, denied
through the main thoroughfares of the
city. Arriving at a bridge obstructed
by thick barbed wire entanglements,
the arditi delivered a sham attack up
on it and on the run, the procession
entered Susak, the Slav suburb ol
Hume which lies at the other side of
the bridge and rushed through its
streets, shouting and singing , waving
iheir flags, caps and weapons, while
the Slav population looked on with
placid and unmoved stare.
d’Annunzio’s men are all young and
self-confident, strong and fit, enthus
iastic and patriotic, devoted to their
leaders, proud to fight and, if need be
to die for their cause. The majority
are seasoned war-veterans, having
> *
fought throughout the whole of~4he
*
world war and among their leaders
are some of the most brilliant generals
a
and oificers of the Italian army.

NOME, Dec., 29— Relics of an ear
ly Arctic expedition, possibly the fa
tal British venture of Sir John Frank
lin of 1845 were found by Captain
Joe Bernard, Nomq trader and explor
er during a recent four-year trip to
strange lands far to the paith. Ber
nard returned to Nome not long ago op
his schooner the Teddy Bear.
Rare curios of many kinds, as well
as the expedition relics were brought
back to Nome by eBrnard. Ike col
lection is believed the most extenrive
of its kind ever coming out of the Alt
tic regions and is thought to be of
considerable value.
On the schooner was what Bernard
described as a “human cuno”, Apukt
waoa, a male member of the strange
tribe of “blond Eskimo” discovered
several years ago on the shores of
Coronation Gulf by Vilhjahnur Stefan
sson, Canadian explorer. Bernard said
he intended to take Auktwana to the
outside world so people could aee what
Che queer “Blond Eskimos” are like.
eBrnard attempted to press through
the Northwest Passage am) reach the
Atlantic Ocean but was halted by arf
zerse ice conditions. When hf tefnqd
back from his voyage eastward* ha
had programed over two thirds of the
.vnv along the narrow body qf lee*
blocked water lying along thavioriheni
Joost of North America between the
Ati&ntk and the Pacific.
Mmjutf uerpuon we wnuo
was spot in the region hotpot* Ado
-aide Peninsula and the sout^NM^eni
jorner of Victoria Land. He left Nome
m a trading expedition in the rammer
of 1916 and, after wintering on the
vay, arrived the following summer at
Taylor Island, located in Victoria
Strait, off Victoria land.
He did not intend to atop at Tay
lor island but was compelled to to
make it his headquarters when bit
v*
boat became frozen in and win not
cleared of the ice for two yean When
he finally cleared the boat, in 1919
ie proceeded on his way bat got o^ly
u> the Kagrok River on Coronation
Gulf when he was frozen in again.
During the winter of 1919-20 he visit;
ed King William Land and adjacent
sections.
Last summer eBrnard decided to
return to the outside world and turned
about and headed for Herschal Island,
Cape Barrow and Nome. Weather con
ditions were good and he made the
run before the ice closed in for the
winter.
" Aboard the Teddy eBar was a large
collection of furs for which Bernard
had traded while in the north .

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Doe., »—
Professional bootleggers who are de
elared tfrJxave made fortunes trans
porting liqtior across the Canadian
boundary are perturbed by news from
Washington D. C., that the federal
pr i i:4tion enforcement machinery of
the national capital is turning its at
tention to the to-called “Montana pipe
dne", according to United States of
ixcrfe heie. “
With Great Falls aa the mouth of
the funnel, (he “pipe line” has three
viossings from Canada, it is said by
those in touch with the workings of
i '*gi%l traffic, which is dcM* ea to
qi* well organised and to include huna
reda.of homesteaders, vrailroad men
and automobile drivers . One reputed
entrance is across the boundary at
oweetgr&ss. This route . follows the
a rest Northern Railway through Shei
jy, Montana, to Great Falls. The
Whiskey is said to travel both by train
concealed in coal and other heavy
r eight, and by automobile.
The principle “syphon” for the
pipe line is said to be at a point north
of Havre, Montana. A rancher living
jn the Milk river, some miles below
<he border, is said to have accumulat
ed a fortune transferring whiskey
across the river by a home made aer
ial cable at a charge of to a case.
From Havre alternate means of trans
portation are afforded by railroad or
automobile highway to Great Falls.;
The third route, for the transport
ing of UquOr across , the !&*, is saad
fiscation of automobiles has failed to
curtail the traffic. Fast motor cars,
with sheet iron plates hung over them
to deflect bullets, now travel in bunch
es of three, according to the prohibi-!
tion enforcement men. The front car <
is a pathfinder and ‘‘trouble hunter”, •
It carries nothing but a party of tour
ists. The middle car ia.the carrier and
is usually loaded with as many cases
of whiskey as it can carry. The third
car is a lookout, to prevent enforce-1
inent officers in faster cars from com-;
■ * . i
ng up from behind. • |
So great has the traffic become, it;
is said, and so large the quantity of
smuggled liquor been, that many men
arrested for moonshinlng have com
plained that the Canadian bottled
goods can be obtained cheaper than
(hey can manufacture and sell their
illicit liquor.

' FIGHTING LOCUSTS '
t • . *• *■* . • - ' ; • .‘it.
BUENOS AIBES, Dfe, A
plague of locusts, likrthat which in
ancient Egypt “covered the facie of the
aarth”, this year descended upon the
province of Santa Fe. Similar offen
aivfefrdrec\Umost annul events in one
part or another of ASgentiniL
* The locusts come - stoMply and
Without warning. Where for a fear or
g$ftral years perhaps not one of the
infracts has been seen, a veritable cloud
of them will one day appear and set
tle on the ground. These usually come
iFom the northwest, from the vhst al
most uninhabited tracts ih Bolivia, it
m supposed . They cover the earth like
a moving carpet, riddaBy moving on.
<• * Atfirst little damage ia done, aside
from the inconvenience of having lit
erally millions of the insects covering
■ Douses. But as they progress
everything and even penetrating the
houses. But aa they progress through
the country they ore holes into the
earth, preferably in hard spots such
as roadways, into which they deposit
their eggs. Within a ahort tim* the
larva are hatched and come forth. "At
first these can not fly, and it is at this
stage that they devour eteVy living
plant -within their path, with the "ex
ception of a few species such as wil
low trees. m"' •
.A little latet the insects develop
their wings and, leaving' ttia coufcry
through which they bill passed a‘<lea»
ert, they disappear almost aa
aa they came. Where they go to has
never been discovered.
Argentina has had recourse to many
methods of fighting the locusts. The
nation maintains organised locust
fighting squads, something like those
formed to fight forest fires, and these
are sent every year to the section! in
vaded. In addition, every^ihnchcr is
held responsible for fighting the pest
in his own locality.
One of the methods employed is to
dig trenches in which the indects are
oiliected , afterward being burhtd.
% vCgc*
But no matter bow many millions of
them are made away with in any such
manner, it is impossible to block the
pest owing to the great extent of Ar
gentina, much of which is still very
sparsely settled.
