''Then from all parts of the nation,

Rome, July 2s.-only now. after
the fall of Orlando's cabinet and the
suppression of the censorship, does
Italy know that President Wilson as
far back as January. when he visited
Rome, expressed his firm hostility to
Fiume going to Italy. The Italian
press had been vociferating that the
president denied Fiume at the last
moment when the others of the big
four had decided to give 1t TO Italy.
The truth comes like a thunderbolt,
Italians know now for the first time
that Sonnino renounced Fiume first in
October, 1915, because none of the
cabinet realized how important it
was for Italy from financial and
economic standpoint. He renowned
Fiume again in another form at San
Giovanni Moriana and again in July,
1918, when first Premier Lloyd George
then Minister Pichon proposed that
Italy should abandon certain Dalma-
tan zones to the Jugo Slavs in ex-.
change.
Last March two members of the
Italian delegation again tried to set
tie matters on these lines, but
Premier Orlando and Minister Som
nlno nipped the scheme in the bud by
breaking off the negotiations.
The public sees now it was de-
ceived by Orlando,s government,
which staged the urgent national agi-
tation, the press campaigns, the mete-
ings and popular agitations, when
they knew all the time that Fiume
would never be given to Italy. and
that the big four had never prom
ised it.
Now do italians know this national
violent Wilsonian campaign not
only failed but prevented the coun-
try from obtaining excellent economic
and financial conditions from Amer
lea.
Premier Orlando does not run the
gauntlet of bitter criticism in the
chamber. He is up in the rus
can hills for a vacation. But Minis
ter Sonnino from his seat amid the
deputies of the centre listens while
his policy is torn to rags lie gets
red from the neck to the top of his
bald head, sparsely fringed with griz-
-zlod b air. shut in his fall as in power
he is dumb. :

 by War Department.

Washington, Oct.l A. Organization of department of transport reserve capable of carrying 142,O00 troops is proposed by the War Department as part of the army reorganization plan.

REVIVAL MEETING IS
 GAINING STRENGTH
More Than 100 Profess the Faith and More Than 50 Pledge Themselves
 to Church Membership.

Since the last report given in the News the revival meting at the Metho- dist church has increased in effective ness and grown in results. More than one hundred made confessions of faith up to Sunday and more than fifty had pledged themselves to join some church at the first good opportunity, There are great crowds who go for ward every night. Friday night there were thirty one, fifteen or more SGtur- day night and a large number Sunday morning and Sunday night The peo- pie who have moved here and have never presented their church letter are growing fewer each day. The pastors and people of all the churches are CO., operating and greater results are ex- pected during this, the last week of the meeting. Rev Mcintosh is preaching some great sermons that somehow have taken hold of the town, and one man who said he had been to church more times than all his life before, said the words of the precher were reach ing the right spot. At any rate the great crowds continue to come and it was only after fifty more balcony chairs were procured Sunday night that the audience was finally seated.
 The day service has been changed to o'clock and night remains the same.
 Another great mems meeting Sunday afternoon and the church was filled.

Negroes Were Deceived.

Members of the Investigating com mittee declared there is every evi- dence that mercenary individuals have been melting the negroes in the name of the federal government, Among other things, it was stated, they were led to believe al part of the govern ment at Washington upheld them in arming and organizing against the whites, that large temple and armor- ies were to be erected at Washington for the converting or their congress" and for federal training of 5000 sol- diers to protect them in their uprising
 Much of the investigation is known to be directed in an effort to establish conclusively connection of white men with the agitation and there is said to be strong indications of such rela- ton. Only two whites were in custody here today following last weeks dis orders. man named Fuller was brought in from Fostelle last night and placed in the county jail. o. S.
