on him July IS to move out by Sep
tember /. When he failed to do so

London, Sept. 22.-(Bv The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The Italian govern
ment has appealed to the allied pow
ers to send an allied force, exclusive
OF Italians, to drive D'Annunzio out
of Flure, according to report here
tonight, which is considered re-
liable
1t is understood that the Amcri-
can naval authorities here, who con-
troll the operations in the Adriatic,
have declined any assistance what
soever, pending final decision from
Washington or the peace delegates
in Paris.
The Italian government, it is re-
ported, has pointed out in its ap-
peal that it would be difficult for
Italy to handle the situation in view
of D'Annunzio's popularity with the
Italian people and also because of
the fact that the Fiume decision has
been thorn in the side of the Ital-
ians.
1t is understood the Italian gov
ernment declared that it deplored
the situation and did not wish to
make the slightest move against the
decision of the peace conference,
but pointedly inferrd that if Dan
nunzio's hold on Fiume was to be
weakened it must be done by other
than Italian troops.
The Associated Press learns that
even should the appeal be favor
ably received. no United States
troops are available and pending
instructions from high authority,
United States naval vessels would
stay outside the three-mile limit.

GALLERIES LAUD
SENATOR REED:
SCORES TREATY
Demonstration in Chamber Lasts
Long; Condemnation of
Cheering Kissed.

Washington. Sept. 22-At the
end of a four hour attack on the
league of nations by Senator Reed
of Missouri, democrat, who has
refused to stand with his party for
unreserved ratification of the peace
treaty of which the league covenant
is part, the senate galleries late
today started a demonstration that
had to wear itself out and then hiss
ed violent disapproval when the
cheering was condemned from the
floor.
There has been no outburst like
it since the treaty fight was put
sharply before the senate by the for
eign relations committee. But there
were indications today soon after
Senator Reed began his speech that
the crowds, swarming for admit
tance at all doors, were in sympathy
with his argument. Mindful of the
evidence of feeling in the galleries,
Senator Cummins. president pro
tenn. gave warning that while ap-
plause might be tolerated despite
senate rules, at the end of the ad-
dress, it would not be permitted at
other times. Threats to clear the
galleries if repeated had no effect
ard no attempt was made to enforce
the long-standing rule.
Applause Breaks Forth.
When Senator Reed, with arms
lifted high, closed his speech and
sat down the applause broke. fol-
lowed instantly by lusty cheering
from every gallery. Men in uni
form joined in the demonstration
and many women stood, waved their
arms wildly and shouted with the
men.
Senator Ashurst, democrat, Ari-
zona, sitting nearest Senator Reed
and first to congratulate him,
shouted loudly for order a moment
later and the crowds, not knowing
what to expect, suddenly became
still But the quiet orderliness OF
the senate did not prevail long, for
as the spectators realized that their
conduct was being condeWned
wave of Kissing swept through the
chamber while gallery guards strug-
gled manfully, but unsuccessfully,
to subdue and eject those response

WILSON TALKSTO
THREE AUDIENCES
AT SAME TIME,
Contrasts Peace Conference at
Versailles With Vienna Con-
gress in Reno Address.

Reno, Sept. 22-Contrasting the
peace conference at Versailles with
the congress of Vienna, President
Wilson declared in an address here
tonight that the Vienna peace effort
had failed because all the govern
ments represented there were in the
hands of "a small cotrie of auto
Gratis
At Versailles, said the president,
the league of nations covenant was
drawn up by great democracies so
that autocracies never again could
enslave the peoples of the world.
One of the purposes of the Vienna
conference, Mr.. Wilson asserted,
was to form such union as would
hold in check the growing tide of
democracy. The chief concern of
the delegates who sat at Versailles,
he added, was to accomplish exact
ly the opposite.
Speaking in theater here to a
crowd of about 1000, the president
frequently was interrupted by ap-
plause. By an electrical device his
words were carried to three other
theaters holding 1000 persons each.
Crowds Welcome Wilson.
The president was welcomed to
Reno by crowds which cheered him
at the railway station and along the
line of short automobile ride
through the streets. Governor
BOYLE presided at the meeting and
Mr.. Wilson was introduced by
Charles Chandler, republican law
yer, who said he denied the right of
"a few prominent senator's to COM
nit the republican party to opposi-
ton of the peace treaty. The treaty,
he declared, contained good repub-
lican doctrines.
The crowd rose and cheered when
the president was introduced and
there was a demonstration for Mrs.
, Wilson also when the chairman
mentioned her name.
Tn his reference to the congress OF
Vienna, the president said that the
effort there made to stihe revolution
and democracy had been unsuccess-
full in every nation but Germany.
1t was the invocation of the Mon
roe doctrine, he said. that broke the
backbone of autocracy's effort to
| overwhelm South America, and
added that at Versailles the cycle Of
liberty had been completed by appli-
cation of the Monroe doctrine to the
| ut ole world
