Fiume.
The allies orally cautioned both the
Serbian and Italian Representatives at
Paris week ago to be most careful in

British government is firmly opposed
to the Nresent situation in Fiume and
is eager to assist the Italian govern

of the Italian government sympathiZe
with d'Annunzios occupation, and
that the Italian government might
have difficulty marshaling an army
if it is decided to coerce dAnnunZio
forcibly.
Well informed officials fear pro-
longation of the Fiume mess might
cause serious cleavage within Italy.

LOCAL MENTION

Oscar Gay. a negro. pleaded guilty
to assault and battery today in Judge
George H. Whitcomb's division of the
district court. Gay originally was
charged with assault with intent to
kill but, according to Hugh Fisher
county attorney. there would have
been great difficulty in convicting him
of that charge and the prosecution
was satisfied with his plea of assault
and battery. Gay shot Harvey Pur-
year, another negro, in a fight on
Crane street after Puryear had shot

fast as she can and bends over to see

".
These plays are the expression of a
man of powerful Imagination. They are
written because of the urge OF which
Mr.. O'Neil has spoken. Sincerity itself is
nothing in art, of course; yet without it
there is no art. But Mr.. O'Neill has by
the very force of his sincerity been able
10 mould the one act play form to the re-
quiremerts of his temperament. His
teehnique-which is only another way of
saying the medium Of his expression
Is exactly suited to what he had to say,
and what more can we ask Of any artist
have been privileged to see the Ms.
of Beyond the Horizon, Mr.. O'Neilrs new
three act play, the production of which is
announced for the fall. While 1 am not
at liberty to describe it, may say that
the author of In the Zone is we'll able to
handle striking theme and living char
aeters in long play.
Having demonstrated his skill In the
one act form and, to me and his manager
at least, in the three act, see no reason
why O'Neill should fail to be recognized
as our leading dramatist. O'Neill is not
perfect, he is not free from defects of
characterization and style, but he is bet
ter equipped than any other young Amer
lean. He promised FIVE years ago, with
his Thirst and other plays; since then he
has fulfilled his promise; he has now only
to develop, to widen his vision Of men and
women and do his best, unhampered by
the material success that is sure to come
to him.
