Fiume Street Fighting
Breaks Out Anew as
Occupation Troops Fire
on Crenadier Guards
Riots Are Caused by
Abuse of Children
Cheers for Jugo-Slavs
and ''Death to Italy,
Bring Swift Attack

ROME, July (By The Associated
Press s).-New clashes between the
French and Italians at Fiume are re-
ported in advices from that city. The
casualties SO far reported number six
killed and twenty wounded
According to dispatches to the "Gior-
male dTtalia," two FRENCH soldiers are
alleged to have maltreated Italian chill
dren. French soldiers are reported to
have insulted Italian grenadiers, who
demonstrated. The French fired on the
grenadiers and then fled to their bar
racks, from which they fired into the
crowds that gathered
In cafe where many French con-
gregate and Jugo-Slav beer garden,
one Italian officer, two French sol
diers and several civilians have been
wounded.
General Graziole, into whose hands
the National Council of Fiume placed
the control of the city, has arrived
and temporarily reestablished order.
There are repeated cries by the crowds
Of "Down with France! Away with the
Provocatorv
General Savy, commander of the
French troops at Ffume. says in an
interview with the "Giornale d'Italia"
that the action of some Of his SOL
in that city by cheering for Jugo- Slavia
was "most deplorable." He points out,
however, that it would be a "mistake
to generalize and make the fault of a
few that of the whole French con-
tingent."
General Savy says he did his best to
be neutral in the question of Fiume, es-
pecially as he has in his command some
Serbian troops, but he adds that he un-
derstands the position of the Italians,
and that "if he were in their place he
would have acted likewise" Express
ing his regret for the incident, he says:
"I am sorry there should be any feel
ing between two peoples who have fra
ternized at the front against the COM
mon enemy. Italy ought to be COM
pensated for her sacrifices. and when
Fiume is assigned to Italy l shall be
the first to rejoice from the bottom of
my heart"
The newspapers in Rome stated last
week that French soldiers belonging
to the inter-Allied forces of occupation
had marched through the streets of
Fiume shouting "Vivc Jugo -Slavia and
Funnel" and "Death to Italyl" Seri-
Gus consequences Were averted it was
said, only by the intervention Of
Italian carbineers.
According to later accounts, the
trouble in Fiume started when a
French soldier tore a rosette of
Italian colors from the dress of a
girl on the street. The Italian ele-
ment Of the population was infamed
to an angry demonstration against the
French, who were compelled to keep
out of sight until the trouble subsidized.

Wilson Ends
Work on His
Peace Message
Completes 5,0O0-Word Ad-
dress to Congress Deal
ing With Treaty Only
i'm a General Manner

ABOARD U. S. S. GEORGE WASH
INGTON, July (By Wireless to The
Associated Press ).-The Presidents
message, to be delivered to Congress
on Thursday, is completed. The mes
sage will take about twenty minutes to
read and contains about 5000 words
devoted to the peace treaty and proto-
coils and the work of the peace con-
ference.
1t is understood these peace confer
ence subjects are dealt with on broad
general lines without taking up the
large questions Of the treaty in detail,
as this probably will come later when
the foreign relations committees of
Congress examine the details The
Presiden also will have an opportunity
to go over these matters with members
of the committees.
In this examination of the terms he
will have the cooperation of a number
of specialists, now returning with the
esidentlal party, who have dealt with
the detailed branches, such as those
concerning reparations, territorial re-
adjustment and economic questions.
The weather continues hot and hu-
mid. The sea is smooth and the sky
cloudy.
The President will talk this after
noon over the wireless telephone with
officials at Washington, establishing
the first such communication with the
capital.
The wireless telephone has been
working during the night and this
morning with the naval radio station
at New Brunswick, N. J. Despite un-
favorable static conditions the voices
Of those ashore were heard distinctly
here and conversations were carried on
successfully. BY reans of a mechani-
cal relay at New Brun swick connection
will be established between the Presi-
dents study on board ship and the
White House at Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Climatic
conditions prevented the carrying out
to-day Of plans for establishment Of
wireless telephone communication be.
tween the Capitol and the George

Law Defiied bv
Defence Board.
Says Graham
Representative Charges
Council Formed "Secret
Government and Com
mitted All Blunders Early
Nep York Tribune
WdshinQtOn Bureau


WASHINGTON, July 7.-Charging
that the Council of National Defence,
operating in defiance of the law, was
the secret and bungling government of
the United States in the first part of
the war, Chairman Graham to-day
made a report to the War Department
expenditures committee on the opera
tions of the council as disclosed by it's
minutes.
To be exact, it was not the council
itself, but it's advisory committee, that
was the "secret government" it is as
serted. The advisory committee, ac-
cording to Mr.. Graham, instead of ad-
vising the council proper, composed Of
six Cabinet members, reversed the
situation and became the executive
body itself, ain absolute defiance Of
law"
President Wilson is charged with re-
sponsibility for this violation by ignor-
ing and reversing the intent of Con-
gress.
The six Cabinet members Of the
Council of National Defence were
Secretaries Newton d. Baker, Josephus
Daniels, Franklin K. Lane, Davis F.
Houston, William B. Wilson and Will
lam C. Redfeld.
Minutes Are Quoted
Mr. Graham read to the committee
long excerpts from the minutes In or
der to sustain his conclusions. In
order to establish the authenticity of
the copy Of the minutes used and to
supply breaks in the narrative of the
secret government" as disclosed by
the minutes, Grosvenor B. Clarkson.
director of the council, will be recalled
for further examination.
in mis- report and in a commentary
on it Mr.. Graham said
Gan examination of these minutes
discloses the fact that a commission of
seven men chosen by the President
seems to have devised the entire sys-
TEN of purchasing war supplies, planned
n press censorship, designed a system
Of food control and selected Herbert
Hoover as it's director, determined on
daylight saving scheme and, in n
word, designed practically every war
measure which the Congress subse-
quently enacted and that 1t did all
this behind closed doors, weeks, and
even months, before the Congress Of

Italian Pact With
Germany Feared

Considerable fear exists in England,
according to Henry Rood, director of
the Italian Bureau of Information, sol
Fifth Avenue, that Italy, POLITICALLY
isolated" as q result of her exclusion
from the Anglo French American alli-
ance, may be forced into rapproche-
.ment with Germany and Austria.
"This fear is being expressed openly
in England, according to reports re-
ceived by u.s." said Mr.. Rood yester-
day. "The London Morning Post of
July 6 deplores the fact that Italy vas
not taken into the alliance and says
her isolation constitutes great dan
ger for her as we'll as to tho Allies.
1t deplorcs the current feeling that
if this isolation is carried through it
will mean q new understanding be-
tween Italy and her former enemies
The Morning Post emphasizes the
fact that the Italian delegates in Paris
we're not treated as they should have
BEEN
"Thcre is no doubt the Italian peo-
pie arc hurt to the quick by the action
Of the Allies, but there is no possibil-
ity of Italy allying herself with the
Central Powers unless she is forced to
do so to preserve her economic exist
ence.
SIT is an axiom in craftsmanship
that no continental power can exist
alone. italy needs food. clothes, fuel
and medical supplies; she needs also
some guarantee Of her safety in the
future. Already German agents are
IN Italy offering to supply her eco
nomic needs-needs which Italy Is
looking In Ayparico IA rupp1v And
