FIUME KEEPS CABLES BUSY
Washington's Decision on Tlttonl
Proposal Awaited With Interest

Proposal Awaited With interest
Rome. Oct. 20.--There is an active
exchange of cablegrams between the
Roman and Washington governments
concerning the last project of Signor
Tittoni with regard to the Tiume and
Adriatic questions.
The entire press maintains an atti-
tude of great reserve while awaiting the
decision Of the Washington government
The Tribuna thinks the project of
Signor Tittoni is the minimum the ma
ion Is ready to accept and expresses
le hope that there will be a definite
olution of the problem. The Idea
Rationale calls the project mon
frosty which does not take into ac-
count the will of the people of Fiume,
who are firmly supporting D'Annunzio.
II adds that the fate of Dalmata if
the project is accepted would be aban-
donment TO Jugo- Slavia with only the
problematical protection Of cara.
Baron Sonnino, former foreign min
lister, definitely announces that he de-
clines to be a candidate for q seat in
Parliament at the coming elections.
In letter to his constituency Baron
Sonuino insists that the Italian program
must include, first, Italy's safety in the
Adriatic, and, second, the Italianity Of
Fiume, cara and Sebenico.
He quotes from President Wilson 5
address at Los Angeles to the effect that
France and Great Britain promised
Shautung to Japan to induce Japan to
enter the war. and it would be impos
sble to deny Shantung TO Japan with
out being ready to go to war with those
powers, and adds:
"What holds for accords regarding
Shantung must equally hold for pledges
contained in the pact of London regard
ing Italy.

crease in the cost of general articles Of
consumption imported into Cuba.
:. Cuba, the document continues, was
disappointed in its hope OF hold.lg the
allied European market and should OBJ.
tain compensation in the open market
to offset the excessive high cost of COM
moditieS purchased in the United States.
The scarcity of labor has had an
important bearing on sugar produc-
ton the statement says, las Consid-
cradle cane was left standing during
the last harvest because of lack of
hands, this shortage bringing about a
continuous rise IN wages. a consider
able number of laborers came TO Cuba
expressly to work during the sugar crop
season, leaving the country Immediately
thereafter, their object being to OBJ.
tain immediate cash returns.
Therefore, unless they are attracted
here by higher wages than are obtain
nble in reconstruction work in the reg
ions devastated by the war, this years
crop may be seriously interfered with

The council of four is understood
to have fixed for the peace congress
tentative dates between April 26 and
May 5, but no announcement has been
made as to details, so Premier I.loyd
George may have something to &.
close when he addresses the British
parliament next Wednesday.
The summoning of the ship George
Washington by President Wilson led
to belief that his departure was i'm.
minent, but intimate friends say the
progress which has been realized will
permit Mr. Wilson to remain and par.
ticipate in the congress at Versailles
when German plenipotentiaries take
part.
1t is not intended to permit long
discussion by the enemy. but to con.
fine the exchange of ideas to a brief
period, probably 10 days or two
weeks, and then reach a final concIu-
sion.
