Paris, Sept. 16-Twenty-six thous-
and Italian troops are now in Fiume,
according to the latest adviceS to the
Italian peace delegation here. The
British and French troops have left
the city, lowering their flags at Capt.
Gabrielle D'AnnunziO's request. The
Italians are being reinforced constant
ly by deserters from the regular or
ganization 1t is feared in general con-
terence circles that the Nitti govern
ment may fall because of the premier's
denunciation of D'AnnunZiO.
The supreme council decided to let
at Fiume by D'Annunzio's occupation
of the city, deeming it purely an inter-
nal matter. Representative of two of
the great powers, however, urged the
necessity of settling the Fiume ques-
ton with the least possible delay in or
der to prevent similar incidents. Gen
eral Badoglio, deputy chief of the Ital-
ian army, who has been given broad
powers to meet the situation, has ar
rived at Fiume, accompanied by Gen
eral Aniossi, according to advices re-
ceived here.
Geneva-Gabriele D'AnnunZiO, sup
hry +ho Of A nd
accompanied him into Fiume, has pro-
claimed q union of Fiume with Italy,
according to advices received by the
Serbian press bureau from Belgrade.
Fiume was plunged into anarchy, the
advices declare, when the brigade of
Italian troops which previously had
evacuated the city returned without
officers, elected the local authorities
and arrested the Italian general, Pitta-
luga.
The British and French troops in
Fiume, the message states, barricaded
themselves within their quarters, ex-
pecting to be attacked, while the
crowds in the city tore down the allied
flags. The Serbian authorities, it is
added, still remain in the suburb of
Susak, which is isolated.
London.-When the Italian raiders
under Gabrielle D'Annunzio entered FL
ume, numbers of the inhabitants joined
them, while sailors on ships in the har-
Dor swan ashore for the same pur-
pose, according to information re-
ceived in authoritative circles here.
The British and French flags were
pulled down and the British and
French troops confined in the barracks
the advices add. According to the
Rome reports an official Communica-
ton has been issued there announcing
that General BadogliO had arrived at
Fiume and issued proclamation urg-
ing soldiers who had followed D'An-
nunzio to return to their respective
regiments.
The dispatch says that $500 men
went into Fiume and that most of
them followed the officers because the
latter limited that the government ap-
proved the enterprise. A number of
infantrymen rejoined their units, hav-
ing discovered their error. A brigade
of infantry stationed at Fiume main

cotton according to the instructions
of the agents produced S71.7 pounds
of seed cotton to the acre, while 9TH
