THINK D'ANNUNzIO E DETERMINED TO
 SEIZE DALMATIA
Jugo-Slavs Preparing to Resist Aggression Runor of Alarming Undercurrent Against Italian M arc h y Among Troops.

London, Nov. 22-The Situa- ton on the Adriatic as a result of Gabriel D'AnnunZio's cam- paign has reached a grave crisis. Private advices leave no doubt that he is determined to annex DaImatia and attack Montenegro. The Jugo Slavs are stated to have concentrat- ed troops and to be prepared to resist aggression.
 A still ~more alarming report says & republican undercurrent directed against the Italian monarchy exists among D'Annunzio's forces.
 It is not known; however, whether the insurgent poet leader shares the reported ambition of this military element to attack the government.
 It is stated in the advises that further aggression by D'Annunzio will certainly precipitate hostilities with the Jugo-Slavs who, however, it is de- clared, will direct their attack against D'Annunzio and not against the Ital- ian government
 A late report from Rome says the military party which is favoring the annexation of Dalmatia has brought such strong pressure to bear upon the government that the situation is deli cate.
 D'AnnunZio, it appears, has been stirred to further efforts by the fact that the Italian elections were un- favorable to his cause. Many ad- venturers are f1ocking to his standard the reports state, and among cer- tain element there seems to be a de- sire to make DAnnunzio president of Italy.
 Some well informed quarters be- 1ieve D'Annunzio merely desires to annex Da1matia for Italy and has no republican ambitions. Whatever his attitude may be on this question, however, there appears to be no doubt that he has not abandoned his plans of aggression in the Adriatic.
 Today's London dispatches supple = ment direct advices from Rome re- ceived on. Friday night which report ed the American embassy in the Ital- ian capital actively engaged in watch ing the situati tion in Italy, which was reported as holding the possibility of serious developments from hour to hour, as regarded both Italy proper and the Dalmatian coast.
 The city of Venice, to which Naval Attache Reeves has gone to report on conditions, is only about 75 miles from Plume by the water route and nearer yet by the land lines. The possibility of a move into Istria by Gabrielle D'Annunzio was mentioned in recent advices, in which case the prediction was made whole divisions of Italian regulars would be likely to follow him. An Istrian move would take the insurgent poet to the bor- ders of Venetia in which Venice lies.

15TH CONVENTION
 OF RIVERS AND HARbOR CONGRESS

The 18th convention Of the Ma tiona1 Rivers and Harbors Congress, which is to be held in Washington on the 9th, 10th and 11th of December, promises to be one of largest, as it will undoubtedly be the most import ant meeting in the history of the or ganization.
 Canada has again taken up the en- largement of the Welland Canal, which connectes Lake Erie with Lake Ontario. The locks in the present canal are IA feet deep, but the new locks are 500 feet long, 80 feet wide and 30 feet deep. A strong move ment is under way in the West and Northwest to have the United States join with the Dominion of Canada in building a 30-foot channel down the St. Lawrence to tidewater at Mon treal. That would carry ocean navi- gation into the heart of the continent and make seaports out of all the ports on the Great Lakes It is quite nat ural, therefore, that the plan is en- Enthusiastically advocated in the West and Northwest.
 It Is quite as natural, Na1so, that it is opposed swith equal, or even greater enthusiasm in the East, and especi- ally by the city and state Of New York. There is pretty general agree ment that it was the building of the Erie Canal that gave New York the position of supremacy it has held for so long. At any rate the people of New York believed that an adequate waterway between the Great Lakes and the Hudson was vital to the maintenance of their commercial su- premacy, and they believed it hard enough to spend nearly s155, 000,0 900 on the enlargement of the Erie Canal, the locks in which are now 12 feet deep.
 Like all the rest of us, the people of New York want all the business they can get, and, because they think, and with good reason, that a 30-foot channel down the St. Law renee would not only benefit Mon treal but take a great amount ef bus mess away from the port Of New York, they are unanimously, enthusi- astical1y, and it is safe to say. even violently, opposing the plan, Or at any rate theyEoppose any sparticipa- ton therein by the government of the United States.

Washington, Nov. z2-Bitu- minOus coal operators in the central competitive field de- clared today that Secretary Wilson's proposal to the joint wage scale committees yester- day had served only to widen the breach between the oper- atOrs and miners.

 It was understood that Secretary Wilson had proposed to the miners of 27.12 cents a ton for coal diggers and $1.5S per day for day laborers. Some operators said this was wholly unsatisfa ctory ito them.
 After the scale committee adjourn ed, the operators would make no for nal stateynent, but some of them said privately they would go into session late today with the miners represent atives with a definite policy.
 John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America. would not discuss MT. Wilson's pro- posal, saying that 1t was agreed that happenings at the conference at which MT. Wilson's offer was made were to be regarded by both sides as conf dentfal.

OFFICIAL LAX|TY CONTRIBUTED TO
 MARTIN DEATH
No Sidewalk on Greenwich Street, Cause of Crit
 icisrrl

Criticism of officials of the borough of Greenwich for not providing a sidewalk on Lake avenue is contained in the finding made by Coroner Phelan today in the case of Mary Mar tin, an Is year old girl fatally in jured when struck by an automobile while walking in the road November 12, last.
 The coroner said, tIt is to be re- gretted that the public authorities per mitted to exist a lack of convenient public walk to the north side of this street, this lack contributing to the death of Miss Martin" The coroner further finds that as the road is largely used by pedestrians the lack of a sidewalk ought to be promptly attended to.
 The girl was struck by a, car driven by Louis F. Mascara of Greenwich. Witnesses testified that 1t was the cus- tom for pedestrians to walk in the road because there was no sidewalk.
