Rome, Thursday, Sept. 2s.-
Alarmist reports are current in this

CONFERENCE IS
CHANGING IDEA
ON FIUME TROUBLE

Paris. Sept. z7.-The peace confer
ence apparently is changing its atti-
tude toward the Fiume situation,
which many members no longer re-
gard as a strictly italian affair be-
cause of the Indications that the Jugo-
Slavs are being involved and likewise
the report of increasing claims by the
Italians as regards the Adriatic, Great
ing conditions which are regarded as
holding the threat Of Balkan war.
While the Italian authorities take
the position that the immediate sup
preston Of the Fiume mutiny is not
imperative, the supreme council seems
clearly convinced that international
action will be forced If Italy fails to
control the situation within few
days.

FORMER GERMAN
SHIPS TOGO TO
SHIPPING BOARD
Eight Liners Will Be Trans
ferred by the War
Department.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The eight
former German liners allocated to the
United States after the armistice, in
cluding the former Hamburg-Ameri-
largest ship afloat. are to be turned
over to the shipping board by the war
department as soon as necessary sur
veys can be made.
The British ministry Of shipping
here had expected that the Imperator
would be turned over to it's agents
at a. m. today at Hoboken and the
vessel already had been promised to
the Cunard line for service between
New York and England. Decision
that the ship should be delivered to
last night at a conference between
board officials and representatives Of
the war; department. !
I: After their. sallocation to the United
States, the ships were used as tram
sports and Great Britain has con-
tended that their ALLEGATION was only
temporary and that when the troop
movement had been completed they
were to revert to the Allied shipping
pool for permanent ALLEGATION. J. H.
Rosseter, director of operations for
the shipping board, said today, how
ever, that the board held that the
original assignment Of the ships was
permanent. Il
Besides the 1mperator, the ships
are the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
Cap Fnisters, Graf Waldersee, Prinz
Frederick Wilhelm, Pretoria, Mobile
and Zeppelin. All are huge passenger
liners which had been laid up in Ger
man ports during the war. After the
armistice, they were delivered to
American naval officers in England.
All Of the vessels are now in port in
this country, most of them at New
York. :.
All of the ships will be delivered
to the shipping board as soon as sur
veys and necessary alterations can be
made. 1t was said that with the Ger
man liners seized in American ports
when this country entered the war,
they would be used in establishing
new American freight, mail and pas
senger lines, presumably to Great
Britain and Europe as well as to
South America

subway Men Quit.

London, Sept. 27.-The decision Of
the underground motormen's union
last night to support the national un-
ion of railwaymen's strike caused a
7 complete tie-up of the railways here
today. Thousands of persons could
not be ad dlonmodated by the made
2 quate bus and tram services and were
obliged to walk to work. Many re-
sorted to bicycles and even to roller
skates.
The government having failed, in
its negotiations with the union to ad-
just the situation, is said to be pre-
pared to operate the railroads with
mite program for meeting the cOndi-
tion before the country has not yet
developed. It has issued orders plac-
ing all England unders,a war regime
go far as food and fuel is concerned,
and 1T was stated yesterday the mails
would be carried by airplane. Thus
far the employees of the Irish railroads
! have not struck. ~
f.s., One of the most, disQu4efinE ,fea-
lures Of the situation is the possibil7 !
s ity that the miners and TRANSPORT
workers, who, with the railway mon,
form what is known as the triple
alliance" also may strike. This would
bring tremendous addition to the
ranks Of the strikers and still further
in the labor world of England.
