ITALIAN NEWSPAP
IS VIOLENT AGAINST
BRITISH WARNING" !"
DECLARES UNITED STATES ALSO
HAS HINTED IL "LLEGAL STU.
ALTON" AT FIUME CONTINUES,
ITALY MAY BE PUT OUT or AZ
LANCE AND PEACE CONFER
ENCE - WASHINGTON DENIES
ANY SUCH THREAT.

Rome, Thursday oct Much oN.
element in political circles ana eN.
tended comment in the press has bcen
caused by reported receipts Of warn
ings from Great Britain and the Unit
ed States to Italy with regard to the
situation at Fiume. II is declared
that the warning from England states
IN effect that if the present Illegal
situation" at Fiume should continue
italy would run the risk of being put
out Of the alliance and the peace con.
ference and that it was received 4
few days after a similar warning from
the United States.
The Trihuna one Of the leading com
mentators, declares that Italy is not
alone responsible for the Fiumr situ
alton and incidentally attacks what It
calls the "preponderance" Of President
Wilson in the peace conference and the
alleged inability or unwillingues of the
allies to limit it. President Wilson,
says the newspaper although a high
| parsonage, is not exempt from human
weakness, as is proved by his present
grave nervous Illness
In the course of its violent article
stagmatizng the warnings the Tri.
buna says
Even illuminated Germany never
showed less regard for her enemies
than England shows ;oday for her
ally, Italy
The newspaper adds that the Am
erican and British warnings should not
be addressed to Italy, but to Capt.
Gabrielle d'Annun2io, saying:
"FIumc is not Italy; i'm fact, Fiume
is fighting against the Italian gov.
ernmcnt, together with which the 9th
cr allies is unable to solve the Adri.
attic problem after the disavowal of
the pact of London
Italy had treaties with the allies
who wagod war against Germany
the newspaper adds "Wheu the Ital-
1 ian question came before the peace
conference, President Wilson refused
to recognize the treaty protecting ltal-
ian interests. but recognized other Sc.
cret treaties. especially the one giving
Shantung to Japan.
Naturally this attitude caused a
reaction and the impulsive action
Of Captain d'Annunzio was sequel
This Italy deplored. The Fiume ques.
ton is grave one for Italy, for the
peace conference and for the allies, but
the allies must bear their own part
Of the responsibility, as their neglect
to have the treaty fulfilled was the
original cause of the incident
The Tribuna says the warnings which
have been received are indirect in
Stgatons to civil war"
The Osservatore Romano, organ Of
the Vatican, says the American and
British warnings "haye all the ap.
pearancc Of threat and therefore
are wounding to the dignity of this
nation"
There is a probable understanding
between Captain dAnuunzio and Cen
eral Badoglio, deputy chief Of staff,
according to the Corrierc dltalan,
which says General Badoglio might
take possession of I'iume out OF respect
for the peace conference. but does not
intend to accept a definite solution of
the Adriatic problem in discord with
Italian interests and sentiments"
Denial that Great Britain had taken
any separate action with regard to the
Fiume action was given in a statement
issued by the British news agency, Reu-
ters, Limited. in London Tuesday night.
The British action had been only in con
junction with the allies, it was declared.
The pact of London, the secret treaty
negotiated among the allies in 1915, just
prior to Italy's entrance into the war,
