Germans from Cologne, Berlin and
other cities were arrested here to-
night by army intelligence officers In
connection with an alleged plot to

where salvaged army material was
sold. On some days the auction
sales amount to fifteen and twenty
million marks, most of the material
going to men alleged to belong to
the organization in question.
American soldiers in plain clothes
sent into the crowds at auction sales,
according to the officers, repeatedly
were offered large sums of money not
to bid against members of the Or
ganization.

the organization held IAN equaliza-

NO FIUME PLEDGE
ITALY LEARNS

Run Gauntlet - italians
Bitter at Government.
AT LAST TRUTH is OUT
Anti Wilson Campaign Failed.
Also Prevented Economic
Pact With America.

(BY BEATRICE BASkERvlLLE.)
Rome, July 24.=(Hy Telegraph
ed.)-oniy now, after the fall Of Or.
iando's cabinet and the suppression
Of the censorship, does Italy know
that President Wilson, as far back as
January, when he visited Rome, ex-
pressed his firm hostility to Fiume
going to Italy. The Italian press had
been voeiferating that the president
denied Fiume at the last moment
when the others of the big four had
decided to give II to Italy.
The truth comes like a thunder
bolt Italians know now for the first
time that Sonnino renounced Fiume
first in October, 1915, because none
of the cabinet realized how impor-
tant 1t was for Italy from a financial
and economical standpoint
He renounced Fiume again In an
and again in July, 1918, when first
Premier Lloyd George and then Min
lister Pichon proposed that Italy
should abandon certain Dalmation
zones to the Jugo- Slavs in exchange.
Last March two members of the
italian delegation again tried to set
tie matters on these lines, but Pre-
mier Orlando and Minister Sonnino
nipped the scheme in the bud by
breaking off the negotiations.
The public sees now 1t was de-
ceived by Orlando's government,
which staged the urgent national
agitation. the press campaigns. the
meetings and popular agitations,
when they knew all the time that
Fiume would never be given to italy
and that the big four had never
promised it.
Now do Italians know the national
violent anti-Wilson campaign not
only failed, but prevented the coun-
try from obtaining excellent eco
nomic and financial conditions from
America. Premier Orlando does not
