BRITISH CONSIDER
t
BUYING HOG ISLAND
pongrossman Edmond3 Sug
gests Special Session of Log-'
slaturo to Save Situation
fiSKS STATE TO PURCHASE
GoTcrnor Sproul lias teen asked to
tall special session of the 6tah Les
Maluro to consider tho purchase of
Hos Island by tho commonwealth. Con
gressman O. W. Edmonds, of Phila
delphia, roado tho request after ho tes
tified before tho Senate committeo at
Washington yesterday that British cap
ital is seeking to buy tho yard to ex
tend British maritimo supremacy.
Tho calling of tho session is proD
fcmatfcal. It would cost tho stato about
KKSO.OOO, it was said nt Harrbburg
today, after Governor Sproul refused to
Comment on the plan.
Thrco representatives of influential
London banking firms aro prepared to
nffer nn pitremelv liberal sum for the
yard, Congressman Edmonds said, and
JUritisn engineers aireaay nave oeen
making a survey of the ground.
"The only probable purchaser of the
property who would use it for the bene
fit of tho state would be tho state it
self," Congressman Edmonds said in
his telegram to tho Governor, after he
pointed out the island was outside of
Philadelphia city limits.
Ho then cited the ports of New Or
leans and Boston and various California
Sorts as instances where the 6tate is1
iterested in similar projects which
have been successful.
Mr. Edmonds recalled that in 1913
there was a move on the part of Eng
lish interests to acquire Hog Island as
stto tor a terminal, ana no Et&tea
' that the revival ox interest on tno
ject showed the desirability of
mint action on this side of the At-
Stic to save Hog Island for America.
t is ridiculous, he said, for th'e
United States to be loaning millions of
dollars abroad to be utilized by foreign
Dhtions in gaining commercial advan
tages over the United States, such as
tho purchase of Hog Island for a ter
minal. PLAN NEW CONSTITUTION
Xuatrlan Provincial Diets In Confer
ence at Vienna, Alarm Chancellor
Vienna, Feb. 19. Proposed articles
for the new Austrian constitution which
the Salzburg Inter-Provincial Diet con
ference is seeking to frame include such
clauses as retention of titles as part of
their bearers legal names, continuation
' of the church as a part of the state and
still others of a character classed by tho
Socialist press as an attempt to throw
the country into absolute clerical reac
tionarism. Doctor Rentier, the chancellor, in an
address yesterday took note of tho con
ference, denouncing the attempt of the
provinces to defeat the government. Ho
declared the lowr Austrian peasantry
would endeavor to separate Vienna from
the provinces and that the proletariat
would never consent to this.
A peasant delegation from Stockerau,
tower Austria, came to Vienna to pro
test against tho presence ut Stockerau
of Bela Kun, the former Hungarian
Communist dictator. The delegation
laid that on last Friday the peasants

MANDATE" PUZZLES TURKS;'
CONFUSE IT WITH "BUFFALO
Anatolians Unable to Figure Out What Kind of "Animal"
League of Nations Proposes for Tlteir Benefit
By tho Associated Press
Constantinople, Feb, 19. Turka liv
ing in Anatolia nro puzzled by the
word "mandate' as applied to the
future government of their country. Tho
sound of this word is very similar to
the Turkish word meaning "buffalo,"
nnd, therefore, confusion reigns in the
minds of tho Anatolians as to the real
significance of this term. This curious
fact was the subject of remark today by
Reour Bey, Turkish nationalist loader
and former minister of marine.
lleour Bey confessed he, himself, was
somewhat hazy as to the exact meaning
of the words "mandate" nnd "mnn.
datories." "Seriously," he said, "I do
not know what a 'mandate' means, for
it is bo nebulous and h,as been defined so
differently by various powers. More
over, as the League of Nations doesn't
really exist ns yet. It is impossible to
discuss -nianaatcs una 'mandatories'
intelligently."
"I was a signer of the armistice be
tween the Allies nnd Turkey." asserted
Keour Bey, "and know its provisions

DESCHANEL HITS SHIRKERS
Message to French Parliament Urges
All to Share In Taxes
Paris, Feb. 19. (By A. P.) Paul
Deschanel, Franco's new president, in
his message to tho Scnato and Chamber
of Deputies this afternoon, stressed the
necessity of making plain tho country's
situation to the people nnd the duty of
her own citizens to give in return their
full share of economic support to the
nation.
"Tho Frenchman who shirka tno
payment of his sharo of taxation,' ho
said, "commits an act analogous to
that of a soldier who deserts his
or flees the battlefield."
