If Trieste was the Bremen of Austria,
Fiume was the Hamburg of the Hungarian
kingdom, close rival for the brisk Adriatic
trade Of the period before the war.
Fume is, another Of those footholds on the
Eastern Adriatic where Italians chung fast
despite the steady influx Of Slavs in the inter-
ior, and, in this case, even into Fiume itself
Thus the city bears evidence Of early Italian
culture, it figured as a potent Slav factor in
the turmoil of Balkan politics. and it felt
strongly the influence of Hungary upon its
thriving industries and fast growing commerce
Magyar gerrymandering caused it to be
annexed to Hungary in 1870, despite the pro-
test Of Croatia to which it had belonged since
the revolution Of 1849- -49:>T Tender consideration
for its value as a seaport rather than for its
citizens, prompted establishment as royal
free town. making it a geographical slice OF
about seven square miles cut out OF Croatia.
Hungarians in Minority.
Despite the Hungarian interest in the city
it's pre-war population was 80 per cent Italian
and Slav, with the Italians slightly FREEDOM
inant Only about half the remaining tenth
were Hungarians. The Slavs included Croats,
Serbs and Slovenes. AS important to Hungary
as are New York or Boston to the United
States, Fumes total population is not much
greater than such suburbs Of those American
ports as East Orange, n. j., or Brookton, Mass.
Fiume is situated on the northeast shores
Of the Gulf Of Quarnero, only 70 miles by rail
southeast of its trade rival, Trieste. Across the
bay is the popular summer resort, Abbazla,
famed for its evergreen laurel and profusion
Of roses, to which tens Of thousands Of visitors
formerly thronged each summer.
City Has Three Harbors.
The older town, distinctively Italian is
built on the hillside, overlooking the gulf. The
newer city lies nearer the water front. There
are three harbors The largest, accommodating

half mile long The quay is nearly two miles
long.
Before the war Fumes manufacturing
plants included government tobacco factory,
the Whitehead torpedo works, rice shelling
factory, b petroleum refinery and many other
plants, among which were saw mills and paper
mills. It's fisheries constituted an important
industry It exported sugar, grain, flour,
horses and timber.
Fiune had a governor, who was a member
Of the upper house Of the Hungarian parlia-
ment, four representatives in the lower house,
and two representatives in the Diet Of the
Croatians and Slovenes.
Destroyed by Charlemagne.
Originating in Roman times, Fiume was
destroyed by Charlamagne in 799. The Franks
ruled it for a considerable period Then it
passed to feudal lords until the Emperor Fred
erick ILL., made it a part of Austria.
This: emperor, who was Frederick v. as
archduke Of Austria, was the son Of Ernest,
the 'sman Of iron, :" and Cymburga, Polish
woman, from whom the Hapsburgs are thought
to have inherited the protruding lowerlipwhich
sometimes became a Disagreement. His long
and inconsequential reign is recalled chiefly
because he puzzled photographers by leaving
on his books, pottery and having inscribed on
his tomb the initials "a. e. /. O. u, = prom
issory note Of future Austrian greatness which
Frederick did little to realize. The most
generally accepted explanation is that the
initials stood for the Latin, SAustriae Est
Imperari Orb Universoe - meaning, "All the
earth is subject to Austria.
Charles VI. proclaimed Fiume free port.
Maria Theresa first united it with Hungary.
Successfully occupied by the French and
British it reverted to Austria and later was
restored to Hungary before it was ceded to.

those were on the Western front. The
adventure in the Cambria salient In
November of that year, when our sur
prise attack with tanks broke the
Hindenburg line and when our gallant
troops after all that fighting In Flan-
ders took 5000 prisoners and much
ground, cost US numbers of valuable
lives week later owing to the coun-
ter surprise by General Won Marwitz.
when our men had to fight desperate
rear guard actions. So at the end of
1917 after all these bloody battles the
British armies were terribly weakened
in numbers, the gaps in, their ranks
not being replaced in many divisions
by new drafts, and their strength was
still further decreased by the loss of
three of their finest divisions who
were rushed off to Italy under the
command Of Gen. Plumer to turn the
tide of the Italian disaster which had
then happened.
1t was at that time,

Doubts on the Western front
Hurt were weakest, that Sir
British. Douglas Haig was called
upon to take over a
longer line of front south of st.
Quentin, and 1t was at that time, in
the beginning OF last year, that the
Germans transferred many of their
divisions from Russia to France and
Belgium with the menace of an over
whelming attack upon the British and
French lines. The pressure upon Sir
Douglas Haig to take over a longer
front was insistent. The French be-
lieved that England was not pulling
her weight''-poor old England who
was straining every muscle to keep
her mines going to provide coal not
only for her own needs but for the
factories Of France and Italy, and to
tnrn out vast quantities of ammuni-
tion and guns. and to maintain a
vast and expanding fleet, and to fill
up the gaps in an army which had
suffered 10000 casualties in a single
year. She was pulling some weight
and painting in the process. But the
French people, sincerely and without
