Italy to Continue
Parleys With u. S.
On Fiume Question
Large Part of American
Reply Is Favorable to
Tittoni Proposal; Paris
Hopes for Settlement

PARIS, Oct. 30 (Bq The Associated
Press. s).-Notificatio has been given
the peace conference by a representa-
tive of Italy here that the proposal
made by Foreign Minister Tittoni for
the settlement Of the Fiume problem
had not been accepted by the United
States.
1t is declared in authoritative Italian
quarters, however, that although the
reply Of Secretary Of State Lansing
was unfavorable as. q whole, a con-
siderable portion Of the Tittoni pro-
posal was accepted and that the ex-
changes with the United States on the
subject will be continued.
AS soon as the extreme concessions
the United States is willing to make
are known to the representatives of
Italy here the Italian government will
be put in possession of all the ele-
ments of the problem as they have
been developed by he delegation in
Paris and Italy's position will be
definitely made known.
Outspoken Against Stand
The first reports which reached
Paris were that the United States had
rejected foreign Minister Tittoni's
proposal. These reports caused dis
play of deep emotion on the part of
members of the Italian peace delega-
ton. While the heads of the Italian
mission maintain their courteous, dip
lomatic manner, lesser members OF
the delegation are outspoken, saying
the decision would prolong indefinitely
the perplexities and anxieties now fac
ing the Italian government. There has
been no official information received
here to cause the members of the dele
cation to change their attitude.
ROME, Oct. 3O.-Peter A. Jay
Charge d'Affaires Of the American En-
bassy, and Count Carlos Sforza, Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, have had
frequent conversations and exchanges
Of communication concerning the
Adriatic question.
Signor Tittoni, Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, is expected to arrive in Rome
next week from Paris to confer with
King Victor Emmanuel and Premier
Nitti and members Of his Cabinet.
Nitti Sends Out Appeal
Signor Nitti has addressed a lette,
to his constituents concerning the
Adriatic question, which is considered
to be the program of the government
in the approaching electoral cam
paign.
The government" says the Premier
"has reaffirmed the Ita1ianity of Fiume
and is employing every means to de-
fend it against all attacks"
LONDON, Oct. 30.--Diplomatic cir
cles here are deeply disturbed ovel
late developments with respect t
Fiume. Private advices from Italy say
that public opinion has veeret
sharply in favor of d'Annunzio since
the failure Of Tittoni's proposals. 1
is declared that these proposals, which
would have been acceptable to tn,
Italian people few weeks ago, woule
not satisfy them now.
1t is felt that the situation is tense,
and that the only solution lies in the
league of nations, which is powerless
until the moral support of America i.

International Revolt
Red Trump, Says Leniue

LONDON, Oct. 30.--Nikolai Lenine,
the Russian Bolshcvik Premier, speak
ing at secret meeting of the Bolshe-
vik executives, is quoted in a wireless
message from Moscow as declaring:
"The chief trump in our hands is in
ternational revolution, without which
there Is no hope of Russias success.
"There are two ways Of exit from
this position, the first Of which is dy-
ing to music, which leave to political
novices. The second propose. We must
weigh the moment. We still! have gold
and armored cars. We must throw out
all useless persons and retir. 1nder-
ground. The power will probably be
seized by the bourgeoisie and military,
but the time will come when the Boil
sheviki will emerge from underground. u

government, inviting Germany to par
ticipate in the blockade Of Bolshevik
Russia, Is similar to that sent to the
neutral states with the exception Of
the last paragraph. The note follows.
"The president Of the peace confer
ence has been requested by the con-
ference to inform the neutral govern
ments Of a decision taken by the Su-
preme Council Of the Allied and as
pressure which is to be exerted on
Bolshevk Russia.
"The German government is asked to
take measures similar to those indi-
Gated
"The avowed hostility of the Boil
sheviki toward all governments and
their international program OF rev.
olution which they are spreading
abroad constitute grave danger for the
national security Of all powers. Every
increase of strength of the Bolsheviki
be contrary to the desire of all peoples
and social order.
ut is in this spirit that the Allied
and associated governments, after
studying the commercial relations with
Bolshevik Russia, find these relations
indeed could only be effected through
the agency of the chiefs Of the Boil
shevik government, who, disposlng at
will of the products and resources
which commercial liberty would bring
them, would thereby achieve consider
able increase in their tyrannical
strength, which they are exercising
over the Russian populations.
Aid of Neutrals Asked
HI1nder these conditions the Allied
and associated governments request
the Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch,
Finnish, Spanish, Swiss, Mexican,
Chilean, Argentinan, Colombian ana
Venezuelan governments to be good
enough to make an immediate agree
ment with them in measures to pre-
vent their nationals from engaging in
any commerce with Bolshevik Russia
and to assure that this policy will be
vigorously executed.
ITO refuse clearance papers to every
ship going to Russian ports in the
hands of Bolshevists, or coming from
said ports.
ITO establish similar measures for
all merchandise destined to be sent
to Bolshevik Russia by any. other
route.
ITO refuse passports to all persons
going to Bolshevik Russia, or coming
from it, except through understanding
with the Allied and associated govern
ments.
ut is the disposition, with a view
to preventing banks from doing busi-
ness with Bolshevik Russia, as far as
possible, to request refusal by each
government to its own nationals Of
facilities for correspondence with
Bolshevik Russia by post, telegraph,
or wireless"
The note sent to Germany contains
the following final paragraph:
"The British and French warships
in the Gulf of Finland shall continue
to change the route of ships bound for
ports of Bolshevik Russia"

Denies Shell-Shocked
Soldiers Are Sent to
Hospitals for Insane
(By Associated Preas).

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Surgeon
General Ireland today denied reports
that soldiers returning from overseas
suffering from shell shock have been
sent to st. Elizabeth's hospital for the
insane at Washington. The surgeon
general said that personal inquiry
had revealed that only two patients
who could possibly be classified as
shell shock" had been sent to ST.
EIizabeths hospital up to this time.
and that these two presented symp-
toms of mental disorder of a character
to justify their having been sent to
this hospital"
General Ireland said that the gen.
eral hospital at Plattsburg, N. Y, had
been specially equipped and provided
with a selected staff for nervous cases
exclusively and that the surgeons at
the ports of debarkation had been in
structed to send all patients of this
class to that hospital. In addition to
the provisions for the purely nervous
cases, General Ireland explained the
medical department always has had
sufficient beds under the control of an
especially personnel to provide treat
ment not to exceed four months for
mentally affected soldiers. These
beds, he added, have never been filled.

that Americans must understand in

of France today.
1t is the ruin that no formula OF

an open wound forever in the side OF
France unless the Germans have to
carry the burden. And yet, save for
the French in Paris and out of it,
one feels certain tendency to forget
this German desert.
The German is singing a new tune

his arrogance was year ago. The

week Of spirited debate the senate last
night by vote Of So to IS. passed the

power of President Wilson or Food
Administrator Hoover in distribution
OF the fund were rejected recently by
the senate and no final effort was
made today for their addition.

licans and three Democrats voted

Americas Job as Allied
Banker Lighter This Month
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--America' s
Job as banker for the allies has been
lighter this month than at any time
since the nation entered the war. On
ly $170.000000 has been paid out as
allied loans since January l, the treas
ury reported today, although pay
ments on this account for a long time
ran around s400,000,000 month. The
reduction is caused principally by the
curtailment Of shipments of food for
payment of which the American cred
it's had been largely used.
Until congress enacts the pending
bill, advocated by the treasury, to au-
thorize loans to the allies for other
than strictly war purposes. officials do
not look for much change in the pres
ent low rate OF demands on the Ameri-
can government
Total credits extended by the treas
ury now amount to SS.5SS, 773,00C, but
only s7,S54,S16,000 has been actually
paid out under these credits. Greece

for payments. Russia still has $751;

books, although she has not applied
for money since the revolution.
