BALKAN WAR IS BOOKED
Correspondent In London Sees
Much Trouble Brewing In
That Section
EDWARD L. KEENE.

London, November 26.-War in the
Balkans is inevitable if G abr la
d Annunzio persists in his proposed
attempt to occupy and hold Spalato,
according to the common unofficial
opinion expressed in British circles
today.
Advices received here indicate that
the Italian government is doing its
utmost to restrain the poet aviator
from further aggression but Italy is
faced by serious conditions at home
which demand her entire attention.
To aid the Italians the supreme
peace council at Paris has agreed to
act on the question of Fiume before
they adjourn, early in December.
The United States is largely
blamed for the present Italian Dali
matian middle. Failure of the Ameri-
can senate to accept the peace treaty
has caused delay in the functioning
of the League of Nations.
