tain Order in City

Paris, Sept. 5.--It is understood that
the commission of allied generals sent
to Fiume to investigate disturbances
there, in which French soldiers were
killed, has made recommendations to
the Peace Conference which include
maintenance of public order in Fiumc
by an American and British police
force, marines forming tho American
contingent.
''Thc conclusions attributed to the
intcralied commissions inquiry into
the Fiume incident are so enormous" "
says the Giornale D'Italia, that they
seem impossible as coming from repre- =
sentativcs of governments with whom
for five years Italy has lived in the
brotherhood of arms and to whom she
she given luminous proofs of friend e
ship. These conclusions, if reports are
true, are blows which would be hardly
comprehensive, even if the commission
instead of being from allied nations
had been composed Of officials of the old
Austrian empire"

CLAIMS TO FIUME
Foreign Relations Committee
Hears Plea of La Guardia

Washington, Sept. J.-(By A. P.)
The foreign relations committee to-
day held what Chairman Lodge had an :
nounced would be the last hearings on
the treaty. Representatives of Italian
societies and others presented Italy S
claims on Fiume.
Representative LaGuardia, Republi
can, New York, the first witness, said
the people of Fiume were Italian by
blood tradition and language and were
anxious to be reunited to Italy. He
said he spoke from three years, ex-
perience as American consular agent
there and later service with the Ameri,
can army in the same region.
To sustain Italian morale during thu
war, Representative LaGuardia said he
had endeavored to interpret for then
point nine of the Presidents fourteen
points, that relating to self determine
tion meant for them restoration of al
Italian peoples to Italian sovereignty
including those of Fiume.
Representative LaGuardia said th
J President had blue penciled' the so

ment reached by France, Great Britai
and Italy had been forwarded recent,
to Washington for the Presidents ap
proval.

TO Reject DIRECT ACTION
British Trades Congress Expected to
Disapprove Radical Policy

London, Sept. >. - By A. P.)--
Among the scores of resolutions that
will be submitted before the Glasgow
congress of trades unions, which will
open next Monday. there will be two
outstanding subjects. the nationalizaS
ton of industries like coal mines and
railways, and the policy of "dircct nc e
ton" or the employment of national
strike as a weapon to enforce political
demands.
1t now is virtually certain that the
policy of 'dircct action will be re-
jcctcd. At II meeting Of the triple ALI

on the question of "dircct action

insolvent for two or three years.
Clara II. Schwartz, of 230S North

had been a stenographer in the defunct

the three checks as having been signed

that not only did self determination OF
the people of Fiume direct that course,
but that adequate defense Of Italy de-
manded annexation of this territory.
The treaty with Germany, ordered re-
ported out late yesterday by the foreign
relations committee, will include four
reservations and about forty amend
ments when 1t reaches the floor of the
Senate about September 10. The reser-
vations, adopted in committee in the
form of resolution of conditional rati-
fication, provide that:
First. The United States reserves the
unconditional right TO withdraw from
the league.
Second. The United States is not
bound by Article Y and accepts po
mandates except by joint resolution of
Congress.
Third. All internal affairs Of the
United States are removed from the
leagues consideration.
Fourth. The Monroe Doctrine is de-
clared entirely outside the leagues ju :
risdiction and the United States shall
>be its interpreter.
The amendments include the provision

Stockholm, Sept. 5.-(By A. P.)--
The interpa lamentary congress repre-.
sentiEg Sweden, Norway and Denmark,
which opened here Tuesday, discussed
the league of nations. All the speakers
argued in favor of af1iliating with the
league, although there was some adverse
criticism relative to certain stipulations
of the covenant.
DR.. l.. Il. Munich, Danish foreign
minister. and o. Rode, Danish minister
of finance, coptendcd that small powers
entering the league should be able to
reserve permanent neutrality TO them

ate to avoid changing the treaty in
any way so as to cause confusion and
send us back perhaps to new ncgotia
tions with Germany. There is reason
to believe that the business interests
of the country are against such policy
and the Republicans in Washington, ex =
cept when they let their personal feel
ings get the better of their party sense,
always listen to the business interests.
Shantuig Amendment ''Trial Balloon
The Shantung amendment was the
first trial balloon of the bitter endcrs.
1t was admitted to be the strongest
of the proposed amendments. 1t touched
deep sentiment in the American pub
lie. 1t might count in the church.
But the Shantung amendment com
ing down to earth is as empty as Ger
man kultur itself. People saw behind
it desire to reopen the whole subject
of the treaty; they saw the difficulty
of reopening thing which would prob
ably soon be settled through the nc.
ceptance of the treaty by England
France and Italy. And so ShantunS
failed.
The amendments making the American
vote in the deague assembly equal tC
that OF England and her colonies was
the NJ '+al balloon. 1t was sent VI
da" 50 ago, and it can be seer
settliug ac,, to earth already.

of Mr.. Lodges reservations are amend

so easy to accomplish all that sane mei
seek to accomplish without in effec
amending the treaty. That is certnil
to be done in committee of the whole.
For example,. the Lodge reservatio
on Article I is, in effect, an amend
ment. Article I now provides for
conditional withdrawal from the league
The foreign relations committee reser
vation provides for an unconditiont
withdrawal.
The difficulty might be avoided b

nant provides for conditional with
drawal from the league, but names Il

ditions have been fulfilled and that I'll
United States understands this to mea
that in any case affecting it the Amer
can Congress shall be the judge.
This is the really important reser
vation, If the United States can re
tire from the league on its own tern
nothing else greatly matters.
But the real fight is about Article
which has larger political possibilitic
although not so much practical conse
quences.

No Hitch in Mechanism
"There is no hitch in working agree
ments. In wards or precincts where
the Town Meeting party is strongest II
is given undisputed sway. The Re
publican Alliance conducts its own
fights in its own wards. In some dis
tricts they work together"
All politicians work along clearly
defined lines. Neither side. the Ware
organization or the Republican AL
lance, can fool each other very far.
1t is therefore not n question now of
organization in given number of wards
so much as it is the effectiveness of
those organizations in getting out the
votes.
The great registration of the first
two days has proven both in the Ware
controlled and Independent wards the
practical working power of the Inde :
pendent organizations. Leaders at the
Moore headquarters point to this as evi :
dence that their organization, which has
been in existence now for two years
both as Republican Alliance and Town
Meeting, is perfect. o.
Above everything these same leaders
emphasize the fact that if Moore is
elected Mayor his administration will
be run on practical lines. The men who
contributed to the victory over the Ware
organization will receive the reward
that is their due. ~. .'. &. ~.
