WILSON IS ASKED
FOR TRAU REPORT
Senate Adopts Resolution After a
Charge of Filibustering.
ACCUSATION OF AHEcKLING'
Marines Landed at Trau as Part of
Regular Police Duty of the Ameri-
cans, and at Request of the
italian Admiral.

Washington, Oct. LATTER further
sharp criticism by Republicans in the
senate and house on the landing of
American marines at Trau after Ital-
ian forces had taken possession of the
Dalmatian port, the senate adopted
resolution by Senator New (Rep) of
Indiana requesting President Wilson
to the senate.
The resolution caused a lively row,
in which Senator Hitchcock (Dem.)
of Nebraska charged the Republicans
with ..heckling" President Wilson and
also with deliberately filibustering to
delay action of the German peace trea-
ty. Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, denied there had been any fill
clustering on the treaty and said there
would be none
Calls Proddng Discreditable.
'"There is no objection to the resolu-
ton" said Mr.. Hitchcock, but it is
rather discreditable to the senate to
be forever prodding and annoying the
administration while it is doing the
best it can in serious circumstances"
Senators New and Knox (Rep) of
Pennsylvania insisted that the senate
and the American people were entitled
to know the facts regarding the use
of American forces in Dalmatia.
/ Senator Hitchcock reiterated that
the American troops were landed to
prevent '1awless outbreaks probable
between the Jugo-Slavs and Italians"
Advocates Treaty Action.
"You have been holding up this trea-
ty by systematic filibuster." Senator
Hitchcock continued. "You are con-
stantly heckling and attacking the
president in the administration of his
duties Senators know the upheaval
in Europe continues and the terrible
problem of Dalmatia; that Italy is
threatened practically by revolution
of her troops. We ought to act on this
treaty"
Regarding the new resolution. Mr..
Lodge demanded to know who author
lied the landing of American marines
and also what commitments had been
made relative to this country's par
ticipation in European affairs.
If these inquiries were answered,
he added, debate on the peace treaty
would be shortened.
The landing of the Americans at
Trau was discussed in the house by
Representative Campbell N(Rep) of
Kansas, who said the people had a
right at this time to have word of
explanation from the president as to
the use of arms for interference in
an allied country
Americans Called In by italians.
Paris. Oct 1.-The inflamed condi-
tions in the Adriatic region and the
dissolution of the Italian parliament
with the holding of general election
on November 16. as Rome dispatches
announce, are giving the supreme coun-
Gil of the peace conference much con-
Germ, in view of the possibility that
all the Balkans will become involved
In the turmoil.
Landing of American marines at
Trau by Rear-Admiral Andrews was
not directed by the supreme council,
according to the American peace dele
CATION. The italian admiral on the
scene appealed to the American adj
miral to intervene for the maintenance
Of peace.
This, it was added. RearAdmiral
Andrews did as part of his regular du-
ties of policing the Adriatic and with
out any instructions from Paris.
French troops that We're in Fiume
have been evacuating that city for
several days, says La Liberte, today.
The operation, it explains was long
one because of the immense stores of
supplies that had to be removed.
