FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR—NO. 220 What They Are Doing In Europe LONDON, September 19.-—Pica dilly circus has gone in for sand wiches. “Forty kinds of sand wiches” reads one snappy lunch counter’s sign, hung out to catch the tourist trade that wants to eat while it runs. “Fifty kinds of sandwiches, all ■different advertises a rival estab lishment nearby, and fifty different sorts of sandwiches actually are listed on wall • cards and produced to orders. Corn sandwiches made with can ned corn heavily peppered are Of fered as a specialty to Americans. There are also peanut sandwiches and sweet potatoe sandwichehs, pre sumably for visitors from the new world. Cabbage, raw and boiled, also brussels sprouts may be had in sandwiches, these presumably for native islanders. Every sort of smoked, salted, dried and raw fish is offered as •sandwich fillers. There are goose liv§r, turkey liver, chicken liver, duck liver, guinea-hen liver and just plain liver sandwiches. Fig and date sandwiches are favorite with women patrons. Hot dog and sauer kraut sandwiches are popular with me nand boys. They are called hot dogs just as if they were being sold at Coney Island. Adelphi Terrace, now tenanted by Bernard Shaw, Sir James Barrie, the ghost of David Garrick, and many of the waks and wits who have made the savaoe club a celebrated Bohemian haunt in London is to be wrecked. Tn place of the old building which from their perches on the arches designed by the brothers Adams, overlook the finest sweep of the curving Thames in all Lon don, There is to rise one of those vast structures Jhat tend more and more to Americanize Europe. The news of the impending change came as a shock to those who loved old London. It is as though mount Olympus was to be leveled to make a foundation for Mammon’s temple and that the •pastures where pegasus grazed were to be converted into a park ing place for limousines. Final agreement for the de struction of the terrace has not been signed, although it is under to have reached a conclusive stage. Shaw, Barrie and the lesser lights that scintillate in the mist that shrouds the river and the victo ria embankment are keeping their accustomed London haunts only on short term leases, which are re newed semi-annually. Other Bohemian inhabitants of the district already have moved away. Plans are well advanced for the annual! conference of the British labor party, which will be held this month in Liverpool. The exe cutive committe has circulated a number of drafts resultions which are remarkable in that they indicate the decided tendency toward a modified form of imperialism, which has been for sometime evident among labor leaders in par parliament. Opposition will be encountered in this, however, and amend ments already have been prepared designed to bring the convention back to the old standpoint on labor policy, prominent in which are such tenents as nationalization and captivity. One amendment for instance, asks the conference to repudfate the imperial utterances of cer tain labor leaders”.On Lanchester is demanded the capital levy and the suspension of loan interest on holdings more than 5,000 sterling with the raising of death duties to three-fourths of the amount of estates. The communists controversy again will be well to the fore. It is likely that while maintaining its re fussal to accept the affiliation of the communist party, the con ference will as a matter of con venience relax restrictions on com munist delegates taking part in labor meetings. « One influential union, the Trans port and General workers Union and several local labor groups, will ask the conference to decalre against labor, while a minority par ty in the hojise of commons, from again accepting the responsibilities of government. Four posthumous works of Rob ert Schumann, the German compos er, have been included in a new humann collection Just published Cr-'tinued on Page Four.) *qKFM_PUBU SHED IN THE ART-OF Plot Foiled To Overthrow Italy’s Government 625-POUND WITNESS i TELLS IT STANDING > NEW YORK, Sept 19.—Just- ? ? ice Riegelmann, in Brooklyn Su- ! > preeme ccourt recently permit- 5 s ted a witness to testify while s < standing instead of occupying $ •’ the wtiness chair. ? ) The witness was Mrs. Aman- J ) da Siebert, 625-pound “Jolly ■ s Irene” of a Coney Island side- S < show, who had come to corrob- \ ■ < orate her daughter’s testimony < ■ } in asking a decree, under the ?
