LONDON, Dec. 29. A dispatch to,
Ihe London Times from Miian quotes
Gabrlele d'Annunzlo in a manifesto,
as saying:
"I am still alive. Although I pre
pared myself yesterday for sacrifices
and already had comforted my soul, I
feel today disposed to defend my life
i.v nil means.
"I offered it hundreds of limes
Smilingly In my war. but It is not
wprth wMle to throw, it away in the i
ervicc of a people who could not !.

their Christmas greediness while wo I
were assassinated by their govern-,
ment."
M V BADL1 I P I MID
ROME, Dsc. 29. According to the
MHsagero. many Influential persons in
1'iunic were badly treated, or severely
reprimanded by d'Annunzlo because of
their efforts to induce blftl to aban
don his seemingly Irreconcilable atti-,
tude.
The result of these attempts to
change the minds of d'Annunzlo and j
his legionaries says the Mcs-agcm,
has been that many persons have been ,
imprisoned or foiced lo fleo the city
The nswspaper asserts that nothing,
even approximately, is known . of the
casualties among the legionaries.
