1 mander Captured

Copenhagen, Sept. 26.-American
marines landed from a torpedo boat
destroyer to compel the Italians to
.evacuate Trau, Dalmatia, according to
a dispatch received from Spalato, a
short distance east of Trau.
The dispatch adds that the Italians
Keft after the inhabitants fired on
them and that Jugo-Slav troops took
over the town from the Americans.
The dispatch says that a JugoSlav
detachment began an advance towards
''Trau, when the American destroyer
entered the harbor to compel the re-
firement of the Italians. The inhabi-
1ants of Trau then opened fire on the
italians, who hastily departed.
The Italian commander and three
men in an armored car fell into the
hands of the Slavs. In the meantime,
200 American marines with machine
= guns, landed and took over the ar.
snored car and the prisoners, who sub
sequently were transferred to an
italian ship.
Then the Serbian troops arrived
and were enthusiastically welcomed,
The Americans handed over the town

harked. The destroyer will remain in
rahe harbor for a few days.

Paris, Sept. 25.-An Italian detach-

cars has crossed the line of demarka-
ton near Toguire, Dalmatia, and pene-
trated the town after having overcome
the resistance of a dozen Jugo-Slav
soldiers, according to a dispatch from
Belgrade.
The dispatch adds that two Ameri-

The Italian admiral Milo, according
to the dispatch, informed the Ameri,

that the Italian detachment comprised

A Rome dispatch says the Giornale
D'1talia denies a report that Gabrielle
D'Annunzio's supporters have ad.
vanced toward Trau, Spalato and Sc.
benico. Nevertheless, alarming reports
are reaching peace conference circles
OF the possibility that D'Annunzio's
action at Fiume may be duplicated by
other Italian leaders at Spalato, Cat
taro and lara, all important eastern
Adriatic seaports, and that plans are
on foot by the Italians to restore King
Nicholas to the Montenegrin throne.
Such action, it is said, would inevi
tably result in a declaration of wal
against Italy by the Jugo-Slavs, who
are declared to be greatly %irritateG
over the situation.

On Physicians insistence Cam
paign for Treaty Closes at
Wichita, Kansas.
WILSON STARTS HOME
Digestive System Affected by Reac-
ton From Nervous Strain-Condi-
ton Not Serious but Abso-
lutte Rest Held Necessary.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 27.-Worn out
by more than three weeks of speech.
making for the peace treaty, Presi.
dent Wilson Cancelled. the remainder
of his speaking dates and decided to
return at once to Washington.
Although it was said there was
nothing critical about the Presidents
condition, DR.. Grayson, his physician,
declared a nervous reaction affecting
his digestive organs made suspension
of his trip imperative.
Mr.. Wilson was ill most of the night
and the decision to return at once to
the capital was reached just before
his train arrived at Wichita. The
President himself wanted to continue
his speaking program, but DR.. Gray
son would not permit it.
Leaving Wichita after a stop of
about two hours, the presidential spe-
cial left for Washington, going by
way of Kansas City and St. Louis.
The train did not pull into the sta
ton at Wichita where a large crowd
was waiting to welcome the Presi.
dent. Although he wanted to at least
greet the people here, DR.. Grayson
would not permit him to leave his
private car.
TumuIY Issues Statement.
Secretary Tumulty issued the fol.
lowing statement:
The President has eXerted himself
so constantly and has been under
such a strain during the last year and
has SO spent himself without reserve
on this trip that it has brought on a
nervous reaction in his digestive or.
gans.
Or. Grayson, therefore, insists up.
on the cancellation of his remaining
appointments and his immediate re.
turn to Washington, Notwithstanding
the Presidents earnest desire to com.
plete his engagements"
Although %outwardly the President
had appeared to be standing we'll the
hard ordeal of more than three weeks
of travel and speechmaking, it be-
came known that for some days he
had suffered from headaches. He
also has been much fatigued by the
confinement on his special train, in
terrupted only by brief stops which
have been spent mostly in riding
through crowds and speaking to au'
diences so large as to require all his
exertion to make his voice heard.
Nearly 40 Speeches Made.
Mr.. Wilson has made nearly AZ
speeches since he left Washington on
September 3 and has spent all but
about half a dozen nights on the
train. Five addresses remained on
his uncompleted schedule.
Since the trip began the President
also has been suffering from a slight
cough which, several times has
caused his voice to break while he
was speaking. To one audience he
laughingly remarked that it was "the
remains of a Paris cold" but both he
and DR.. Grayson have treated i
lightly. The real cause of his indis
position it was said was the nervous
strain of his arduous program, which
was one of the most strenuous evel
undertaken by a president.
