POET IS WORN OUT
Terrific Strain Tells on dan
nunzi-StilL "Fiume or Death -
His Soldiers Say He Is Greatest
Man in World.

Fiume, Sept. -(Sunday)-Gab-
riele d'Annunzio, the poet leader of
the Italian forces in Fiume, received
the correspondent of the Associated
Press this afternoon and gave to him
a statement expressing his unalterab1e
determination to hold Fiume until it
is annexed to Italy.
I'VE are glad to see you in Fiume,'
he told the American correspondent.
I'VE are here to stay until we are thru
with our task of having Fiume an
nexed to Italy. We will not leave I'M
der any consideration until our object
is accomplished.
You see the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie Of Fiume to be annexed. You see
that the people of F'iume are Italian.
We are most firm in our determine
ton to continue until our aim is full
filled. Our motto remains today as
since the beginning of this enterprise
-'Fiume or death
I'VE are willing to sacrifice all in
our effort to gain what We believe to
be just and right
Seems Tired and Worn Out.
D'Annunzio appeared tired and
worn out. The last few days have
imposed the severest strain upon him.
He has been rising at $3.50 in the
morning to commence the work of
answering letters and drafting procla-
nations. This has been his task in
addition to attending to staff work in
connection with the forces of occupa-
ton under his command. One of his
secretaries said that d'Annunzio had
received 500 persons Friday and that
at the close of every day he was ex-
hausted.
At the interview d'Annunzio wore
the uniform of a lieutenant colonel,
with five rows of ribbons, including
those of sixteen medals for valor. The
staff OF the poet consists mainly OF
young men. There are no officers in
Fiume above the rank OF lieutenant
colonel. Out of nineteen officers on
the staff of d'Annunzio, seven won
the italian gold medal for valor, of
which only twenty-five were bestowed
during the war.
"Greatest Man in World
The soldiers displayed a most in
tense admiration for d'Annunzio. One
of them said to the correspondents:
HE is the greatest man in the
world. We are willing to follow him
to the DEATH
Demonstrations occur virtually every
evening in Fiume, some times it is the
Alpine mountaineers, sometimes the
Ardii or Bersaglieri, who get up a
parade and march thru town singing
and cheering the d'Annunzio colors
The d'Annunzio troops are Quartered
in the schools of the city.

LATE YESTERDAY MARKETS

Chicago, Oct 1-coRN-Rains which
threatened to interfere with the curing OF
the new crop and to delay the movement
from first hands had tendency today to
lift the corn market. A slight upturn In
foreign exchange rates was also an advan-
tage to the bulls. Advances, however. were
checked by prospects tnat monthly re-
ports soon to be issued would show the
condition of the corn crop to be fully equal
to last months government figures. Open
ing prices which ranged from the same
as yesterdays finish to &c off were fol-
lowed by a little further sag and then by
moderate gains all around.
OATS-Some demand from the seaboard
helped to strengthen the oats market: After
opening unchanged to 1kc lower including
December at 69ssc to roc prices scored a
fair advance.
PROvISIoNs-Lower quotations on
hogs weakened provisions. Support was
lacking.
Later, owing to corn strength, the pro-
vision market rallied somewhat There were
indications, too, that lard sales to Europe
lad been made.
