Italian Ministers :
Seeking Solution
of Fiume Problem

newspapers, the council of ministers
at its session today will seek to find
some means to solve the Fiume prob
lem. Minister of Foreign Affairs Tit
toni will leave very soon for Paris
to consult with the inter-allied repre-
sentatives regarding the commission.
Newspapers here comment at some
length on warnings to Italy from
America and England relative to the
situation at Fiume. The Tribuna
prints a violent article stigmatizng
th2 warnings, and saying:
even eliminated Germany never
showed less regard for her enemies
than England shows today for her
attorney, Italy"
The newspaper adds the American
and British communications should
not be addressed to Italy but to Cap
tain Gabrielle d'AnnunzIo as "Fiume
is not Italy; in fact Fiume is fighting
against the Italian government which
together with the other allies is un-
able to solve the Adrintic problem
after the disavowal of tire pact in
London

moToRIsT MUST BE CAREFUL.
Footmen Have Equal Rights to High
way Kansas Court Rules.

Where a road is so narrow that q
pedestrian and motor car cannot pass
1t is good judgment for the pedestrian
to move out into the weeds. But
where a road has ample width for
passage, the motor car driver must
use care that he follows strictly the
proper path of the highway.
This was the decision Of the Kan
sas Supreme Court in the suit Of Fred
l.. Games against Frank Clark, an
appeal from Dickinson county. a
son of Games was killed by a motor
car driven by Clark near Hope. The
district court allowed an instruction
to the jury that pedestrians should
get out of the beaten track when they
hear motor car approaching and re-
fused Games judgment for damages.
But the supreme court reversed the
district court and held that foot tray
elers haev equal rights upon the high
way along with drivers of vehicles.
1t remanded the case for a new trial.

Each soldier, before he is mustered
out of service, has the privilege OF
filling out an application blank, Civ
ing the place of his former employ
ment, the town to which he expects
to return and telling whether or not
he desires to take the place he left
when he entered the army. These
blanks are forwarded to headquarters
and recorded, then to the office of the
state In which the town is located,
then to the district bureau and finally.
to the county committee. The duty
of the committee is then to find the
position the soldier is ready to NIL
In 90 per cent of the cases TIE
former employer will take the men
back. The greatest difficulty seems
to be with the men who go from town
to town instead of taking permanent
employment BY the system which
is now in operation the government
not only seeks places for returning
soldiers but keeps definite track OF
the labor situation.
The severely wounded soldiers VINO
have been discharged and want to
learn some trade by which they may
support themselves may fill out sim
liar blanks which are sent to Wash
ington and are provided positions or
training.
