D'Annunzio Determined to Hold
Fast to Power Acquired
Through Rebellion
DEFIES THE ITALIAN
GOVERNMENT
It is Said, However, That He Is
Rapidly Losing Power in His
Undertaking

I Fiume, Dec. 27 (By the Associated
j Press) Gabrielle D'Annunzio made
! the announcement today that he would
resist any efforts to expel him from
I! Fiune.. He said he had reached the
decision that the guarantees offered
| by the government were insufficient
to warrant his leaving.
That his troops be left Off without
punishment for Joining his crusade is
one of the demands made by Dan
nunzio in return FOR his departure, as
is also the rehabilitation Of Fiunian
and Dalmatian money.
The right to reside in Fiume or any
part of Dalmatia without restriction
| or passport, authority to decide the
time and manner Of departure Of his
| forces from FiuTne and official recog-
| milton Of the medal he conferred or
his legionaries are among the other
demands made by the insurgen1
leader.
Rome. Dec 27.-Gabriel D'Annun-
zio is understood to have asked Pre-
mier Nitti to postpone his announced
visit to London on the ground that
his departure should be preceded by
the reaching of definite settlement
of the Fiume situation between Dan
nunzio and the Italian government.
Lieutenant Commander Rizzo. Ma
3or .Giuriati, chief Of D'Annun1io's
cabinet, and other leaders associated
with D'Annunzio are said to have left
the Fiumes district.
! Premier Nitti will go to London
from Rome and from that city vii
return to- Paris to- attend the meeting
of the allied pre1niers and foreign
ministers which IS expected to begin
next week. according to statement
bearing a semi official character print:
ed in. the Corriere d'Ita1it today. 1t rs
stated that the premier believes he
will be able to come to an understand
ing with the British premier on prob
lens closely affecting Italy.
"Signor Nitti hopes to obtain from
England financial treatment similar
to that granted to France, especially
relative to a loan which will have its
influence upon the exchange situa'
tion," the newspaper says. THE pre-
mier will do his best to have supreme
council agree that the allied and as.
sociated governments will recognize
Ttalv's sovereignty over Italian
towns, first Of all Fiume, and that they
VIII accept the result Of negotiations
between Italy and Jugo-Slavia.
'sIt is fated that the drama of Fiune
will end as a. grotesque operetta," the
Corriere says 1.-The most authorita-
tive companions of Captain D'Annun-
!, 20 in his adventure arc abandoning
him in his dream Of acting the little
tyrant of the 14th century, He does
not realize the situation. however, bu'
dresses himself as a corporal Of storm
troops and plays the king among the
soldiers Indifferent to the opposition
of all Fiume and all Italy. Everybody
agrees today in the depicting Dan
nunzio as naughty, dangerous DO!

State Highway Measure
 Must Not Be Defeated.

lG EW measures before the legisla- 4 ture are so important as that outlining a system of trunk roads de- veloped by the state highway engi- neer, w. s. Keller, in cooperation with the highway commission.
 Alabama has no need greater than that of good roads of the modern type, and the plans worked out by MT. Keller would give us the Hast word" in highways, so to speak.
 The cheap road is thing of the past The permanent, hard surfaced roadbed is the only sort that will satisfy first-class engineers, or that will satisfy the enlightened public.
 If the legislature ends its session without providing for a system o1 roads of the best, there will be vio' / lent protest in every section of Ala bama- The highway measure must moi be defeated.
