of the National Council, last evening
d'Annunzio had insisted upon further
guarantees for the carrying out of the
Pact of London and regarding the an
neXation Of Fiume by Italy.
Scores of D'Annunzios followers
have left the city. The high handed
attitude of the Arditt, who enter
homes, demand food and threaten fami-
lies. has caused revulsion on the part
OF the population against this branch
OF the occupational forces.
ROME, Dec. 22.-Premer Nitti, in
addressing the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday, made the announcement that
Italy had the friendly consent, if not
the complete adhesion, of France and
Great Britain on the Fiume question
and asserted that the dominant point
of view was favorable to the Italian
government.
The proposal made to the Allies with

would, after the Christmas recess. pre-
sent bill modifying Article V of the
constitution, so that thereafter onlv
the Parliament should have power to
dyclare war, was strongly approved yes
terday by members of the Chamber, in
cluding the Socialists. Under Article

The Deputies also showed marked
approval Of the Premier when he read

court-martial the guilty ones
When the Premier expressed his be-
lief that Italy would be among the first
countries in Europe to restore its fl
nances, the Socialists interrupted
shouting: '..These are illusions!"
The small majority obtained by the
government in the Chamber of Deputies
Sunday, when the order Of the day ex-
pressing confidence in the military
was carried by vote of 242 to PIG, will
not, it is believed, cause the Nitti Cabi-
net to resign. 1t is considered, how.
ever, that the narrowness of his margin
will cause the Premier to make changes
in the personnel of the Cabinet. The
Chamber has adjourned until January
