MOTTA Press-man and compositor in this print- ing office completes today his 30th year of connection with the St. Croix Avis having entered this establishment on September 20th 1889, when the plant was owned by the late Mr. John T. Quin. It is a great pleasure to us to congratu- late Mr. Motta ¢n this auspicious anni- versary and to publicly testify to his faithful and hardworking characteristics which have never wavered during these many years in which it has been our op- portunity to work with him and prove the interest he always manifests in his business. There are not many living monuments of thirty vears unbroken as- sociation with some special calling, and still fewer who can feel proud of the good record Mr. Motta has made, and in wishing him many more years of improv- ed health, and in which his name will continue to be conspicuous with the Avis, we feel that it may be truly said of him, as in Solomon’s proverbs ‘‘seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before Kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”’ TELEGRAMS ST.

Montreal, Sept 16th.—‘‘I think that there is an impression 'n this country that Sreat Britain is staggering under the burden of her tremendous debt and that she is headed for bankruptcy, and is goiug to the dogs. I want to tell you as one who has some knowledge of in- dustrial conditions and more of" finance that this is not the case. Great Britain is not going to sit down under the diffi- culties which face her today. There never was a time when her people dis- played more brain, more nerve or more enterprise or were so keenly alive t» the necessity of overcoming all obstacles that confront her.”” Tn these words Sir Chas Hanson, High!Sheriff for Cornwall, mem- ber of Parliament for Bodin and ex-i.ord Mayor of Lond~n, aroused that en®husi- asm of the members of the Board of Trade who assembled toihear-an informal address from one of Montreal’s former residents who is today - her honoured guest.

London, Sept. 16th—The Press Asso- ciation has issued the following appar- ently authorized statement from Down- ing Street, where the Premier returned from France tonight: “William C. Bul- litt’s statements appear to be # garbled aceount of private conversations with Mr. Lloyd George at a breakfast after Mr. Bullitt’s return from Russia, to- gether with a mixture of conversations with other people. In the opinion of the Premier some of the statements are so ridiculous as to carry iheir own refu- tation on the face or them, as for ex- ample the suggestion of an intention to send Lord Landsdowne to Russia as Ambassador. But apart from examples »f this kind the suggestion is that the narrator’s memory, was hopelessly at fault. While it is not suggested that Mr. Bullitt did not talk with the Premier it is categoricaily denied “hat any sta‘e- ment was given for publication, and the whole account is authoritatively de- clared to be absolutely inaccurate in important particulars and grotesque. L.ondon, Sept. 17th. -Fiume has been isolated from the world by the Italian Govi., which is apparently taking steps to meet the situation that has arisen through action of Captain Dannunzio in foreibly taking possession of the city and forcing Allied and Jugo-Slav forces to leave. The veil of the ecity cenzorship was drawn yesterday, and since that time little has been learned of events in the city. Investigation of the incident has shown, according to advices. that the plan to seize Fiume originafed in Ven- ice. the Prefect of which city is said to have involved, artillerv forces in Venice which were prepared to join the Dannun- zio forces in Fiume, are reported to have been induced to return to the barracks The Prefect has been dismissed from office. : Paris, Sept. 16th. - The Jugo-Slav Peace Delegation here has issued the following statement regarding the situ- ation at Fiume: ‘'No armed conflict oc- curred at Fiume on the night of Septem- ber 12th--13th when 1,000 Italian sol- diers arrived from the occupied®erritory of Istria and Siavonia. The battieship “Dante Alighiere’” was unable tu sail, her engines having been damaged pus- posely. The troops landed from the ship and joined Dannunzio’s volunteers. The [talian wmilitary authorities and com- manders of the A'ilied troops were pow- erless to restore -rder, preparations for the rebellion having been carefully made. The rebels drove away the English pa- trol stationed in the Governor’s Palace. Demonstrations against America, Great Britain, France and Japan Jugo-Slavia occurred. Dannunzio add-essed the so!l- --diers from Fiume and Susak. The French, Americans and British have leit Fiume on board ships. It is feared that regulars of the Italian army who were sent against the rebels will make com- mon cause with the men. Rome, Sept. 16th -The Republican party has passed the follo ving resolution relative to Captain Dannunzio Coup at Fiume: ‘‘The temporary liberators of Fiume were carried ~way by noble im- pulse. rather than by political calculation, they thus deserve the sympathy of the nations, although it is an illusion to con- sider the accomplished fact of the occu- pation of Fiume as final”’.
