THE FIUME. I,IPAssE.

N ONE Of The grave mistakes OF the peace conference
~ being reflected in the expression Of men In this coun-
try who have been there" and know the inside on
great many Of the questions which have proved 10 be
stumbling blocks in the road TO peace One Of the most
striking examples is comeback" in recent issue Of
The Evening STAR Of Washington. D. c., regarding
article written by David Lawrence. the k Wllsonian
press agent Mr. stated that the secret treaty
OF London Of April 1915 signed by Great Britain, France
Russia and Italy, gives Fiume to Italy.
"sThls Is not So" writes Gordon Gordon-smlth by
the treaty Of London Italy explicitly declares that Fiume
is recognized the port Of Croatia, Serbia and Monte
negro and shall handed to them by the Entente
after the final victory" The following is the paragraph
from the secret treaty which mentions the disposal Of
Fume:
mote ? The following districts the Adriatic shall
by the OF the Entente powers be included In the
territory of Croatia Serbia and Montenegro To the north
OF the Adrac the whole coast beginning at the Gulf Of
Voosca near frontier Of Italy, far the northern
frontier Of Dalmata. Including the whole coast today
belonging ungary the whole coast Of Croatia the port
Of Fumo and the small ports OF Nev and Caropago and
the same way the islands Of Veglla, Perco, Gregorio
Adratc where Serbia and Montenegro interested and
the whole from Cape Panca to the river Drn, with
the very important ports Of spalato, Ragusa Cattaro
Aniyar Dulclgno and s. Giovanni d Medua, also the
islands Grande and Pccola zrona Buje, soa Brazza
Ciklian and Calamotta."
this extract Of the secret treaty is clear that
Il was intended that Fiume should be Croatan and the
present claim Of the Italian government means that they
attempting 10 eat their cake and still have it," With
all fairness The many countries interested in the sue
cessfu prosecution Of peace Italy must either stand by
the treaty Of 1915 whole drop II entirely. Such
document cannot be taken apart allowing Italy to use
such parts she likes and drop those which do not suit
her If can then treaty League of Nations
stand for two minutes
II Mr. Wilson would have peace quickly as he
claims then he should take up such perpexng problems
the controversy Fiume and settle them in prac
tcal way Either Italy should be forced to stand by this
treaty, immoral It is, else It should be abrogated
before further discussion Of the subject is nduged n
once that difficulty Is Strengthened the rights Of the
Italians and the Jugo-slays can be discussed on their
merits.

REpuBLICANs AND TnE VICTORY LOAN

Vry ILL II. Hays. chairman Of the Republican National
w Committee has issued cali TO all Republicans
urging that they give united effective support to the
Victory Loan.
That appeal is addressed to Republicans in Delaware
just it Is to Republicans all the other States II
should be welcomed by them and also by Josiah Marvel
director Of the Victory Loan campaign in Slate.
The text Of Chairman Hays appeal is as follows:

there to make him class everybody con-
siderably unlike himself as a fore
/ igner'-whether he talks French or
COckney English. The fact seems to be
that our American soldiers struck up a
hearty friendship only with the Aus
tralians and Canadians. The rest Of the
, fighting world was foreign" and that
was enough.
But this soldier criticism, we think,
goes not at all to the root Of national
friendship which is based on elements
lying far deeper. The American sol
der himself still is for France, the
country of Joan Of Arc, the country
that Outfought the German at the
Marne and Verdun and whenever neces-
say. He simply prefers America and
American ways and dlslikes certain
French ways exceedingly. In short.
home is still best. and the beautiful in
ternatiOnalism that the war was to
produce is a myth, a iOvely mirage that
never came true. The basic friendship
between America and France and the
friendship between America and Eng
land are another matter. Different utter
ly as these TIVE friendships are, both
have been vastly strengthened by the
comradeship Of the nations themselves
in a great, common cause. They have
been so strengthened that no insidious
poison Of politicians and no personal
irritations Of returned soldiers can af-
feet them.

The people Of America ought TO be

tor OF the Matin OF Paris, for stating SO

Monsieur Lauzanne has sojourned
long enough in the United States to un-
derstand the Monroe Doctrine In all its
aspects and to know the American con-
ception Of its contents and implications

Of clarifcation at this critical iuncture

or juggling Of words TO represent the
abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine
as merely its extension and perpetua-

the matter:
EITHER the League OF Nations ex-

case Europeans would vioalte the Mon

Timely Definition of the Monroe Doctrine

plenary session Of the Peace Conference
on February IA, and by him brought
over on the George Washington for the
information OF the Senate, Is plain as q

"When that treaty comes back" said
President Wilson less than six weeks
ago to the Metropolitan opera House,
gentlemen on this side will find the

threads Of the treaty tied to the cove
nant from the treaty without destroy
ing the whole vital structure. The
structure Of peace will not be vital
without the League Of Nations. and no
man is going TO bring back a cadaver
with him"
The interesting question now is
whether a man is going TO bring back
with him a treaty interviewer with a
covenant which violates the Monroe
Doctrine, thus booming the treaty TO
become a cadaver when 1t reaches the
United States Senate.
But that is not all that is clearly per-
ceived in the Mattn Office and uttered
therefr0m in unequlvocal language for
the information Of all concerned. Re

Of President Wilson TO take ship and
come home without covenant or treaty

NoMINArE A MAYoRALIrY cANpIpNrE WHO CAN wr

NOMINATE MANORALITY CANDIDATE WHO CAN VIM
II the Republican party is going into the Wilmington
city election next June. IT should 90 win and
10 lose.
The prime element of in such fight is a
nayoraliy candidate who can the united support
Of Wilmington Republicans and also draw heavily upon
the independent voters
Those things being true, we feel that the friends of
William G. Taylor have made serious mistake in nduc-
ng him to announce his candidacy for the Republican
mayoralty nomination.
That feeling is based upon several reasons They are:
First-That MIR. Taylor cannot command united Re-
publican support.
2 sccond-That he cannot draw TO the support of the
Republican, ticket any substantial part independent
electorate
Third-That he has twice for Mayor; the people
by their votes revealed clearly that they do not
want him in that Office there has been nothing since
those defeats which indicates that the public attitude has
changed toward him.
If those who induced Mr. Taylor TO announce his
candidacy this week have the interest of Republican
party and ifs principles and policies heart they cannot
fail TO recognize that what have said above is true
More mature thought also should convince them that Il is
their duty TO induce him retire from the field TO the
end that man may be nominated for Mayor who can
command united Republican support; who can draw
heavily from the independent elecorate who never has
been defeated and who represents no special interests
h'ue or biS-a man who will be unshackled and a
popular candidate in every the word and who
is pledged to give to the people honest dsinteresed
and a husiness-like administration
In short, man whose candidacy will make for Repub
lcan success and not for Republican defeat
MIR. Taylor is not such a candidate!
