A KICK FROM SLAvS
Italian Occupancy Arouses Great Deal
Of Jealousy.

OF jealousy.
London, Nov. 26.-The carrying out
of the provisions of the Italian-Aus-
trian armistice on the eastern and
northeastern Adriatic has aroused
much friction and jealousy on the part
of the Jugo-Slav populations. who
ascribe to Italy the intention of per-
manently occupying these regions,
which are virtually identical with
those assigned to Italy by the allied
agreement of 1915. The Jugo-Slavs
contend the occupation should have
been by mixed allied forces and not
solely by Italians.
The Italian occupation Of Fiume has
been followed by strong protest to
the entente powers from the Croatian
national council at Agram. 1t is re-
ported that at some points the occu-
patton led to regrettable incidents be-
tween the Italians and the Jugo- -Slavs.
and to these points mixed forces have
since been sent.
The Associated Press learns that the
allied governments are doing every
thing possible to promote a friendly
sentiment between the rival parties
pending the final adjustment Of con-
flicting claims at the peace conference.

Sufficient Vessels To Bring
American Troops Home.
War Department Officials in an
Announcement.
USE THE GERMAN TRANSPORTS
Take Food Over and Bring Sol
diers Back.
New Ships Available When
Contracts Are Cancelled.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Britain and
the United States are in perfect accord
as to reduction of use of British tom
mage for bringing American troops
home. There will be sufficient trans
port facilities to meet rehabilitation
needs.
| These assurances came from war de-
partment officials today following Sec
retary of War Bakers intimation that
some Of the British ships would soon
ue Withdrawn from the United States
transport service. Baker himself said
that our own vessels. plus probably
some German ships AMI some French
and Italian tonnage. would meet re-
quirements. Other authorities declared
that the cut in British aid has not
como yet.
| Baker held it was natural for the
trying contracts entered into when the
troop movements were desperately
necessary. He pointed out that Brit
ain had her own colonial troops-Can-
adams, Australians and New Zealand
ers to send home and that they had
been abroad longer than our own.
1t is now proposed that some of the
German ships held in Teuton ports
shall be Used to carry home our sol
diers. 1t may be that they will take
food cargoes to Germany and then
stop at France to bring b<ck demo-
bilized men.
In addition, it is anticipated that
some cargo ships can stow a small
number of men on all homeward trips
For the immediate present atten-
ton is given to returning of the A. E
F. men who are sick, wounded ol
convalescent. But, it is anticipated
that some OF the forces from the eigh'

i AS for the British shipping, 1t i!
pointed out that it is under charter
to the United States. Good rates are
paid for its use,s but an agreemen
was made that no profit should b'
made thereon.
