No Longer Desire War With
Italy Under Leadership of
Poet D'Annunzio
FIl'MR. Dec. 23. Captain d'An-j
nunzio has refused to receive any fun
ther 'communication from Cue Italian'
officials outside of Fiume, either oral
or wri'ten, considering that hostili-1
ties have begun. Whenever the I
'"commander" as he is called here, J
moves, Uumpcts blow while his wild:
march "Eja Eja Ala Ala" resounds. J
Most of d'Annunzio's time is occti- i
pied by ministerial and war councils,
and in issuing proclamations and ad-j(
dresses to what he descriles as his I
"loyal population of Fiume. The
people here have declared themselves
tired of a situation in which they are
deprived of a mice, and their expo
sition is increased by the almost com
plete destitution to which the city
has been reduced by two years' par
alvsis of its commerce. They disap-
piove of d'Annunzio's policy in risk-l
in: a conflict with either Italy or!
Jugoslavia, especially as they believe j
at this time. General Cavislia means j
business.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24 The new Stout

Andre Tardieu! interrupted the
premier to ask if it were not a
fact that the J-'ranco-American
treaty net having been ratified
and the Franco-Kritish treaty be
in;.' non-effective for that reason.
France,, according to the treaty or
Versailles, could hold the h-rt
bank of the Rhine until Germany
credited the Jioalv teims. To
this M. Leygues replied:
'"It is quite true that we no
longer are. in the position we
w i-e in 1914 menaced by a sud
den attack. We' are on the left
bank of the Rhine" we hold tlfo
bridgeheads. The Germans enn
not maintain a single soldier in
the zone or, protection and that
is a perpetual provision. The
bridgeheads we hold we are call
eiV on .to abandon in 15 years if
the treaty is executed, but if the
treaty terms are net 'carried out
we will continue to hold them."
General de Maud Huy, deputy
for Met, then shouted:
"We are in Germany and if the
Germans want to use barbarous
methods if they burn ten houses
in Paris from airplanes we will
burn a hundred n Frankfurt and
a hundred in Mayeiu-e. Let Ger
many understand that. It is the
only meens'to prevent disloyal
