The Italian council of ministers has
proposed solution of the Fiume ques-
ton, namely. that the city be occupied
by regular troops pending a decision
by the peace conference as to its dis
position; but this is to be conditional
on Italy's being given the mandate to
administer the affairs of the city I'M
der the League of Nations. The Ital-
ians were greatly exercised by the re-
port that their government had re-
ceived warnings as to Fiume from both
Great Britain and the United States.
It is true that Baron Hardinge, under
secretary for foreign affairs, told Italy
that Britain was surprised that the
D'Annunzio matter was not being set.
tied more speedily, but there is nothing
to show that any such message went
from Washington. Meanwhile Dan
nunziO maintains his hold on the dis
puted city and prepares for war with
the Jugo-Slavs. His observers have
told him the Serbs are concentrating
in large numbers, so he has mined the
harbor and placed his troops on the
lines of defense. The Serbian officials,
on the other hand, deny they seek hos
tillties with the Italians or are prepar-
ing for fight. If any force is gather
ing to try to take Fiume IL is COM
posed of volunteers.

National Guard organization would
never again be formed, but events OF
the last two or three months show
that those predictions were wild OF

ship for the National Guard Idea by
making adequate financial provision
for the reorganization of the guard.
Practically every state governor has
also taken an interest in restoring the
organization, and as a result the mill
itary division Of the war department
IS now able TO report that the work
OF forming guard units is making
good progress in every state. BY the
end Of this fiscal year II Is predicted.

cally where II was when the United
States entered the war
The federal government, under the
new system expects TO retain firm
hold on the National Guard, but at
the same time the fullest cooperation
Of the states Is sought. In working
out the plan, the division of militia af-
fairs says, It was recognized that the
preservation Of the local units must
be conserved and that the breaking
up Of local organizations, as they were
broken up in 1917, would probably
never be tolerated again For this rea-

accept, in view of his uneompromising
statements, is unknown.
The Italian governmental crisis
having compelled the adjournment Of
the parliament, the peace treaties with
Germany and Austria were ratified by
royal decree of King Victor Emmanuel
and will become effective within Is
days. All the British dominlons hav-
ing now ratified the German treaty, its
ratification by the empire is complete.
According to dispatches from Berlin,
the threats of the supreme council to
renew the blockade brought Germany
to terms and her troops in the Baltic
countries are being withdrawn. The
government saves its face by stating
that Gen. Won der GOltz has yielded to

One Of these. Robert NJ. Ferguson of

casual mention Of the fact In a letter
sent to a friend In New York city several
days later.

strain on his lacerated feelings. But
