The decision of the Italian dele
cation as reported from Paris,
apparently brings TO a head the
bitter controversy between Italy and
the new Jugo-Slav state over the dis
position of land along the Adriatic
formerly belonging TO the Austro-
hungarian empire. which both ma
tionaltties claim.
ltaly'S claims originally included
virtually the entire DalmatiOn coast,
with Triest and Fiume, which latter
city is the second principal seaport
on the eastern side of the AdriatiC.
Recent reports have been that the
Italian representatives, were mani
Testing a disposition to make impor-
tant concessions regarding the land
along the Dalmatian coast, provided
that the city and harbor of F'iume
remained to Italy.
Jugo-Slavs Claim Eiume
The Jugo-Slavs, however, have
been insistent that this port be al
lotted to them, claiming il to be es-
sentially a Croatian city and neCes-
sary 10 the new Jugo-Slav state as
affordinS the only feasible, suitable
outlet for her commerce.
on the other hand, Italy has
shown no disposition to yield her
point so far as Fiume was con-
yerned. Her attitude was officially
stated by Premier Orlando in ad-
dressing the Italian Chamber of
Deputies on March /, when he de-
rIared that. while Italy remained
faithful to the spirit OF Cancellation
which inspired the treaty upon
which Italy entered the war" that
did not mean that she could remain
insensible to the appeal reaching her
from the Italian town on the Gulf OF
Quarnero (Fiume)," which was
exposed to the loss OF both its ma
lionality and independence. We do
not think" added the Premier, that
this is possible at the very moment
when It is wished that the world
may be redeemed from a memory OF
violence done to the rights of peo-
pies"
Ecud Grew Bitter
There have been several Incl
dents" at Fiume and other points in
the territory claimed by both Italy
and Jugo-Slavia since the signing OF
the a1nistice and the feud at one
time grew so bitter that Italy estab-
lished a blockade and cut off food
relief imports for the interior. This
matter was adjusted by the Supreme

Treaty

Washington, Oct. 21.-American
troops will not be used to police Sill
esia or any ether country for which
a plebiscite is proposed until the trea-
ty of Versailles has been ratified by
the senate, Secretary Bake. announced.
Mr.. Bakers ruling was in reply to
request for information on this point
which had been received at the depart
ment from Gen. Tasker IL. Eiss of
the American peace commission.
Mr.. Baker pointed out that shohld
the senate adopt a reservation to the
treaty declaring against American par
ticipation in the police duty overseas,
none of the forces could be used, and
that, consequently none of them would
be moved from Coblenz until the SEN
ate had acted.
Mr.. Baker denied published reports
that the message from General Bliss
contained protest against the use
of American troops for such police
duty.
Until the senate acts on the peace
treaty the United States cannot be
represented on any of the various com
missions provided for in the treaty, it
was announced at the state depart
ment.
The supreme council at Paris had in
vited this country to be unofiiclally
represented until the senate had acted,
but it was said this invitation could
not be accepted.
