Dur ing liis visit Coloni concluded a eoiiiKiereial agreement with Jugoslavia : he said also that he would return here as Chief of legion, representing the Alban- inn government of Tirana. Those watching the Albanian situation insist there is a strug gle going on between Italy and Jugoslavia to control Albania, with the Italians still unwilling to abandon their old hopes of commercially improving the country. Italians, among other things', are interested in securing water-power concessions near Tii-am and drawing off the elec tric current to Italy by a sub marine cable.

THUS 5 Pork FOUR O'CLOCK EDITION RES. THREATENS EXTRA iLXJiVl M JLJ. Ul BILL IS NOT PASS By GRATTAN KERANS (Special Correspondence) Washington, July 25. Roeksi and storms are in the path of President Harding's ship subsidy bill, which" he has demanded that, ' 'ongress shall pass at the cur rent ;,:es;sion on penalty of bIng reconvened .for that purpose. These obstacles to the plain sail ing of the President's pet meas ure take the form of facts, fig ures and arguments urged against it by Senator Fletcher (Dem. Fla.), generally regarded as one of the highest authorities on American shipping. Senator Fletcher ascribed the failure of the nation's -merchant fleet to operate successfully and economically to .Chairman Lask- or ine Shipping Board, who, , he charged had converted the 'hoard into a political' machine and who spent his time on polit ical propaganda instead of at- . - . I tending to his official duties as Chairman. Experts, some of them owners and operators of ships, have es timated that President Harding's proposed present to the private interests which are pressing for the passage of the shtp subsidy bil would take from the rank and file of taxpayers not less than $50,000,000 a year. The ad vocates of this annual "bonus" to powerful corporations have been flooding the country with their propaganda. Chief among these press agents for the measure Chairman A D. Lasker of the TTnHAfl Sltatos Shinninsr Board, ( U iotiv antlinm nf tllrtl hill' with Winthror, Marvin, Vice 1 President and General Manager, of the American Steamship Own ers 's Association. Part of the campaign for promoting- the' adoptiii efthe . ...bill which President Harding hai made his favorite child among th? legislative proposals now pend ing, next to the tariff, is the zeal ous effort to discredit the mer chant marine established by the Wilson administration. These ships are described in Chairman Lasker 's Appeals for subsidies as "a costly heritage." Referring to this slur on the people's vast and valuable in vestment in serviceable ships, Senator Fletcher said, in - his speech in the Senate: "Think of it! The finest fleet oned or controlled by any mari time power in the world, or by nnv nro-anization. denominated 'a costly heritage." These peo-' pie clai into wTant an adequate American Merchant Marine American owned and American operated for the benefit of. American commerce and Ameri can industry, and yet the first essential to such a merchant ma rine is ships, which they com plain of as a 'costly heritage.7 "If we could only get rid ot the ships, the Shipping Board would be relieved 'of annoyance and the friends of this measure would be happy. Their main purpose would- be accomplished. "I must confess Jo being glad we have the ships, and I value them as a distinct asset, which i would not like to see dissipated orri wa&tprl. I want to see them taken care of and properly env ployed. They constitute the f irsj essential recpiirement to a chant marine, and instead of giv ing them away or sinking them, o repaying people to relieve us of them, I would put tnem m viVp and onerate them as ser our needs dem an - V ' - --- J. dand our interests Call lOl UJiLlL ru-i ""' y " 11 I 4-, I r.nnli Timo zA Si IJIiriV such are wanted by those who win irn them under our flag, who will take pride in their country s status on ttie seas, wuu uuu- who under- stand the business tney wouiu. engage in. and wlw will see tnat tIIp of this country are' enttitledj fo iU and must have.

District i JBiilguiber, that a h'earing wiirbo held in Scotland Neck a t the Dixie Theatre Friday, July 28th at 1:00 P. M., for the purpose of considering the request of the North Carolina jState Highway Commission for permission to construct a highway bridge across Roanoke River at a point known as Edward's Ferry, six miles from Scotland Neck, N. C, between the counties of Northampton and Halifax, North Carolina." This a formality which must be gone through with and its pur pose is to hear anyone either for or against the construction of the bridge across a navigable stream. "Argument will be made for the elimination of the draw, as the stream has not been used for navigation for years, and prob ably never will. All property owners on both sides of the river affected are earnestly requested to attend the hearing so that there will be no delay in letting of contract and beginning of construcion of bridge. Each district and county is al lotted a certain amount of money for new construction, so if the ! draw in this bridge is eliminated it will release something like $15,000.00 additional for this sec (tion, besides considerable mony ; in cost of maintenance of the ; draw.
