Amid the rejolcings of this redeemed

asked If they knew about the arm's-

We are indifferent to war and peace

The problem Of feeding the multitude
of prisoners is grave. but the Italians
also are treating the prisoners as well as

Italian troops generously toss their own

laughingly: Tomorrow Is another day.

The Hungarian port of Fiume, SOUTH

the Italians. and Admiral Cagni has
been named Governor.
The occupation OF F'iume was similar
to the Italian entrance into Trieste. A
citizens committee was formed at Fiume
October 90. The committee signed a
declaration Of rights and declared them
selves free from Hungary, expressing a
desire to be united with Italy.
