The "copy and pictures in this envelope are the first reg

the British air ministry, they were placed aboard the

Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lans
downe, U. S. N., the only American
aboard the British air dreadnaught, per
sonally took charge of the package. A
United Press representative carried it
from the London bureau of the L"a;ted
Press and handed it to Commander
Insdowne at the British cir station.
The incident forecasts a new epoch In
practical journalism. It represents the
first application of a new method of
news dissemmination, which in tt few
year wil be one of the accepted prac
tices of newspaperdom en both side of
the Atlantic.
The importance of this in future jour

the feasibility of promptly supplying a

Radical Movement, Result

was spreading in Italy today. Accord
ing to the latest advices, organizations
of socialists, syndicalists, anurcnisrs
nnd labor and political agitators here
wore leadincr the movement and were
inviting other towns to join.
The Italian government, in au offi
cial communique, has warned tho poo-
nln neaiiist the work of ciements
"which are endeavoring to transform
the economic agitation into a political
movement."
Such action would deprive Italy of
the fruits of victory, stated the com
munique declaring political agitation
would be severely repressed.
Cabinet Considers Action,
At the same time, it was announced
that the government had grautcd fuil
power to the provincial and municipal
authorities to enforce maximum prices.
The cabinet met yesterday for fur
ther consideration of the situstion.
Following the cabinet meeting, the
government announced a determined
and vigorous policy destined to influ

Profitteers and hoarders, it was assert
cd, would be punished severely.
The government will supervise direct
