WILSON TRIUMPH

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept. 23.--President
Wilson leaves the Pacific coast
triumphant. That is an extreme state
ment to make and will be disputed by
those who look at the league of nations
as political question or as somehow
akin to the prestige or political for
tunes of Woodrow Wilson But the
idea, NOT necessarily the man, has
triumphed. Such demonstrations of en-
thusiasm, such quick perception of the
logic Of the argument; such readiness
to accept the plain language of the
treaty of peace, rather than the in
ferences and Implications read into the
document by men who seek not its re-
vision or perfection but its absolute de-
feat; such spontaneous acclaim as the
Pacific coast has given editorially, yo-
cally, politically and otherwise can
have but one meaning to anyone who
forgets the hypocrisies Of both the
Democratic and Republican parties and
their respective demogagues and OBJ
serves mass impulse, mass reasoning
and mass demand.

guarding the armistiee line went over
to Capt d'Annunzio's forces. The con-
servative figures place the number OF
troops in Fiume at 5000, consisting OF
infantry, cavalry, artillery, ayiators
marines and sailors Two brigades can
be formed from these forces.
Volunteers continue to straggle into
Fiume from military posts on the Is
trlan peninsula and some are marching
over the mountains from points north
Of Trieste.
PARIS, Sept 23--French special cor
respondents sent to Ffume are stilf fill
ing dispatches from Mattuglie, town
about nine miles northwest Of that~city.
The representative Of the Journal says
that although the grenadiers and arditi
may have wavered, the caribineers re-
main faithful and see that no one
passes the arrnistice line.
The correspondent says Fiume has
food supplies sufficient for two months
and quotes Capt. dAnnunzio as saying:
IF my sovereign Victor Emmanuel,
presented himself he would not
pass the line Of sentinels until he
affirmed to me he was the king OF Ital-
ian Fiume."
ROME, Sept. 2a.--Tomasso Tittonl
Italian foreign minister, has resigned
because Of the Fiume incident, accord
ing to an announcement by the Gior-
male d'ltalia.

ALLIES ASKED TO \ /
GUST D'ANNUNZIO

LONDON, Sept, 23.--Italy, which was
given a free hand to handle the Fiume
problem as a domestic affair, Is said In
reports current here to have made an
appeal to the allied powers to take the
matter off her hands and send force
to Fiume to expel the insurgent troops
from the city 1t is claimed Italy has
stipulated that II such force Is sent
to the Adriatie city it must not include
Italian units.
1t is improbable. according-to the re-
port that American troops will partici-
pate In such operation II 1t Is ordered,
there being no soldiers available for
such purpose. American marine con-
tingents now in the Adriatic have not
taken any part in any activities there
and II is said they will not be called
upon to do so unless positive instrue-
tions come from Washington or the
peace conference In Paris.
Reports from Fiume seem to be con-
flicting. One states that Gen. Badoglio.
deputy chief of staff, who was sent
from Rome to deal with the situation,
has established Gordon about the city,
while the Jugo- Slav delegation in Paris
asserts d'Annunzio's forces have ex-
tended their Zune OF occupation, having
advanced into Jugo- Slavia seven miles

that trainioad of supplies has reached
Fiume. Another dispatch says four

Joined Capt. d'Annunzio Saturday and
Sunday.
Dispatches from Trieste declare the
compander of the French ships in the
hartor has notified Capt. d'Annunzio
that If the stores forming the base OF
the Franco Serbian troops at Fiume are
molested he win order his ships to open
fire on the city.
FTUME. Sept. 2S.-Three bombs wehe
thrown at patrols Sunday from a win
dow in lodging house where several
Croatians are said to have been living.
There were no serious results, but some
soldiers received slight injuries, Other
