10000 Emergency Officers To Be Discharged, Says
 War Dept.
COMMISSIONED
 STRENGTH TO BE I8,OOO

Washington, Sept, 30.--In announc- ing that 10000 emergency officers must be discharged within the next five weeks in order that the commis- stoned strength of the army may pe brought down to IS,O0O, the War De 'partment declared in a statement to- day that the accident of war and process of denobiliza ton are at an end" The officers to be retained will be selected from applican,s for per manent appointment.
 The difficulties of adjustment" ." the statement says '' have been in creased by uncertainties as to the fu- ture military policy of the govern ment, the inadequacy of pay in the face of the high cost of living, and the failure of all classes to realize that economies must be promptly met
 After stating that the army so far as it's regular officers are concerned is to be returned to a normal basis, the statement points out the great savings that will result from the reduction of rank of officers. In the grade of colonel, for instance, there will be saved S4O,OOO a week, as on November l there will be only 693 officers of this rank while now there are HOO.

City AbIaze With Flags And People Vibrant
 With Enthusiasm
Thousands of Italian Troops Parade Streets of City-Many Veter- ans of Great War Supreme Confidence In Making Fiu1ne ItaI- ian Territory-PIe Ienty of Food in the City.

Plume, Sunday, Sept. 28, via Vienna. ---(By The i. P.)---Fiume is ablaze with flags, her streets are filled with marching soldiers and her air is vi brant with the confidence felt by the men who. under the command of Cap tain Gabrielle D'Annunzio, marched into the city and still firmly hold ir. Italy's flag and that of the city of Plume predominate, the only foreign banner being the French tri-coIOr floating over the French naval head quarters
 The correspondent reached Plume last night from Trieste, being buried in the coal in the tender Of a Iocomo- tive for the last part of the journey to avoid guards along the way
 Soldiers are everywhere in the city. Motor trucks Iurch through the streets carrying armed men from one point to another and hundreds of troops may be seen at any hour marching with the greatest precision and with the strictest military discipline, the whole scene being similar to that ;o be encountered at q great Italian mil itary post. Men from all regiments, arms and branches of the service seem to be here Among them are thou
 
 majority of them wearing three or four service medals.
 Captain DAnnunzio's headquarters are established in the governors pal ace which has been converted into a veritable general staff building, filled with different departments. The pri- vate office of the poet-aviator over looks the city. The building is the finest in Plume having beautiful sculptures, elaborate stairways and magnificent furniture.
 There is no evidence of traffic in the harbor. The Italian dreadnought Dante Alighieri is anchored within 30 yards of the waterfront, while three destroyers occupy positions in docks.
 Although no news is reaching the city from the outside world. the Ital- ians here are confident of winning their fight. There seems to be plenty of food. White bread, which is not served in other parts of Italy, is on restaurant tables and is displayed in large quantities, although prices are high. The city has an air of business and notwithstanding the preseSce of thousands of soldiers, the citizens are performing their daily work as if they were not attracting the attention of the world.

London, Sept. 3O-Notwithstandin the strike, the government intends to keep the Irish question to the fore, and it is expected the cabinet will again discuss a settlement of the Irish problem during the present week, ac- cording to the Mail.
 Sir Edward Carson, who was pre- vented by the strike from attending the Ulster Day demonstration at Bel fast, sent the following telegram to his supporters:
 ''The conspiracy against our civil and religious liberties, backed by cruel assa assinations in Ireland and lies and misrepresentation in America, to sep arate us from the British empire, must be countered by the organization of all our forces. We stand by our covenant in the letter and spirit, and, with Gods help, will defeat our ene- mics as we did before.''

GOVERNOR HAS
 REFUSED GALL
 SPECIAL SESSION

Reluctant to have the suffrage question in Connecticut settled with out reference to the people and still unable to perceive a special erner- gency requiring it's hurried disposal. Governor HoIcomb yesterday notified suffrage proponents that his original decision not to call a special session of the Legislature to act on the na- tional suffrage amendment would stand. He pointed out that the voters of the state will be more properly represented in the decision if made by members of a legislative session elected on that issue
 Present members of the General Assembly had an opportunity in the proposed suffrage amendment to the state constitution, wrote the gover- nor, to allow vote Of the people on the subject, but they refused by de- featIng the amendment. The execu- tive then answered each of the req sons advanced for the calling of a special session. Action on the trol- ley situation, considered by the last regular session, could be taken, he said, only under circumstances invit- ing violation of the constitutional limit for legislative sessions while the argument that it would be wise to join the majority in bringing about the inevitable could hardly be con- sidered to create the special emer- gency'' required by the constitution for the calling of an extra session. The contention that natioanl conven- tions of the major political parties I.al r1H met by the governor with a state ment that neither of them advocated its adoption except by vote of the people of the states"
 Among the reasons he gave for his refusal was the following:
 There is a sharp division in sen timent in this state upon the question of woman suffrage which should be decided by a vote of the people of the state. This would have been possible if the amendment to our con- stitution relating thereto had been passed. The General Assembly of 1919 defeated this amendment. Now, the nearest approach to an expres- sion of the sentiment of the people upon the question would be a vote of a General Assembly whose members were elected knowing they were to act upon it. This was not the case when the present members were elect ed.
 "A further reason urged was that woman suffrage was sure to come by the vote of other states whatever ac- ton this state might take; and that it would be wise to be with the ma jority or as 1t is sometimes expressed get into the band wagon It will hardly be claimed that this creates the special emergency mentioned in our constitution which authorizes the governor to call a special session"

Attempts Made to Derail Trains Strikers Now In
 vite Help of Unions.
TRANSPORT WORKERS
 TO DECIDE ON ACTION

London, Sept. 30-Great Britain is making headway in dealing with the national strike of her railway men, he government reported today. The official communique from Downing street at noon announced that the railway service was improving, more trains having been run than called for under the schedules prepared by the companies yesterday. This was in line with forecasts that betterment of conditions in this respect might be expected today.
 Attempts to deraiI trains, which oc- cured yesterday for the first time since the beginning of the strike, were referred to by the Downing Street statement as some minor acts of sabotage" These, it was explained. had caused no loss of life and the necessary steps had been taken to deal with this phase of the situation.
 Meanwhile the distribution of food is proceeding satisfactorily, the au- thorities announce, this being due largely 'to the admirable spirit and efficient work of volunteers" The offers of voluntary service. it is de- clared, are overwhelming
 No statement on behalf of the men was forthcoming during the morning but the latest expressions from their leaders were not lacking in expres- sions of determination to carry the struggle through. James Henry Thomas, secretary of the International Union of Railway Men, in announce ment at a open air meeting during the foreoon, indicated that the calling in of help from other labor bodies was contemplated. He declared that the railway men would not continue to refuse offers of sympathetic strikes from other unions. This was consid-. cred most significant in view of the meeting of the transport workers and vehicle drivers called for today to de- eide upon their attitude.
 The government announced this morning that livestock that had been abandoned in transit by the strikers and the horses belonging to the rail- road companies that had been left without attention were being cared for by the authorities.

 ATTACK POLICE Threat Made to Call Troops If Attacks on Special

Chicago, Sept 30.---After a day of futile efforts of the big steel mills in the Chicago district to induce a sufh- cient number of employees to return to work in order to operate on a much larger scale, chief attention today turned to the United States Steel Cor poration plants at Gary, Indiana. With many minor acts of violence re- ported to the police last night, further developments today were anMously awaited.
