From conversations which several
Senators and Deputies have had with
Premier Nitti and Foreign Minister Tit
toni vt seems that two plans were sub
mitted 20 President Wilson concerning
Fiume, both of them indorsed by France
and England.
According to ons, Fiumo would be
given to Italy, but its hinteriand, to-
gether with eastern Istria, would be
given by italy to Jugo-Slavia.
The second plan would make F1ume

would become an Independent State
ruled by an International commission or
by the Leagueof Nations. The latter
project would be virtually the same as
advocated by Andre Tardieu some
months ago.
In either case the port Of Fiume would
be internationalised. The opinion IL ex-
pressed here that, especially after Ga
briele d'Annunzio's act in seizing the
city, neither of the schemes would sat

Treaty Filled with strife.

Speaking solely for myself. 1 cannot
perceive the wisdom OF ratifying treaty
pregnant with strife and conflict, and
hoping to avoid them by INTERVIEWING
its articles with covenants for League
of Nations. That Is possible only
through an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, equipped actually and poten-
TALLY with power to enforce its man
dates. 1 know Of course that the new
est Balkan nations, save Bulgaria, are
to be members of the league. yet Italy,
Rumania and Bulgaria are approaching
an entente, sure to be countered by SINH
lar action between Greece and the Ser
bian confederation.
Europe cannot change the habits nor
control the propensities born of expert
ences centuries old. Her ways are not
our ways nor her purposes our purposes.
Peace has been interludes with her.
With US 1t is a normal state. Her
memories are of war-and their punish
ments, OF wrongs endured, of hates en-
gendered, or reprisals hoped for. Ours
have not been darkened by shadows
such as those. Her exaltation upon the
close of the war and after years of awful
sacrifice, with the menace of Germany
behind her, was spiritual and supreme.
But 1t was only transient That has
gone. 1t subsidized months ago and her
ancient attitude has emerged from its
placement It is reflected in every line
of the treaty save the covenant of the
league, and the President secured that

FIuME, Sept. 20 (delayed) The oc-

Of F'iume to give UP all arms in their

and great quantities of ammunition were
found in the homes Of Croats, Serbians,
Hungarians and Germans. Supplies of
munitions also were found in coal mer-
chants stores. Among the weapons dis
covered were two machine guns.
That the blockade Of the city insti-

the arrival of an entire train bearing
thirty trucks loaded with supplies. Re-
