italian Circles EW II over Wilson's :
Reply Threatening 1iUo with
Blockade Shsn

Paris, Sept. 26-American naval
forces have taken hand in the swift
" moving events along the eastern
Adriatic shore, say Copenhagen ad-
vices United States destroyers, ap-
pearing off Trau when Italian sol
diers attempted to force their way in
70 town. brought the attack to a sud
den stop, the Italians retreating hasti-
ly.
Some Italians were captured by the
defending Jugo Slays, but were event
ually turned over to the Americans
and transferred to an Italian snip.
Serbian troops arrived at Trau soon
after the marines were put ashore
and the town was turned over to them
by the marines who returned TO their
ships.
The political situation in Italy Is
apparently near a crisis. Advocates
of the annexation of Fiume include
some of the more powerful element
according to reports.
Paris. Sept. 25.--It is said in Italian
circles here tonight that President Wll
sons reply on Fiume has been receiv-
ed in Rome and constitutes a fiat re-
lection of Italian claims to the CITY,
coupled with a threat on an economic
blockade of Italy if she holds on to
Fiume in defiance of the Peace Con-
ference.
A report is all over Paris that the
Italian Crown Council has declared
Fiume annexed to Italy. The Italian
peace delegation can neither affirm or
deny this rumor,
ralians here are in high state OF
excitement, and feeling against Mr..
Wilson is running strong. They de
clare that England and France would
not Join an economic blockade OF Italy
and that the American President can
not force it alone.
The crisis in Italy is regarded as
most acute and containing all the ele-
lments of revolution. The Nitti Gov
ernment is plainly confronted with a
situation il cannot handle in dealing
with d. 'Annunzio's coup at Ffume.
The situation is fast threatening TO
become more than an Italian affair
D'Annunzio now makes it plain that he
is for'1taly getting not only Fiume out
land out. but all the Dalmation coast.
The Jugo-Slavs say they will never
stand for this and already are making
strong representation to the Peace
Conference 1t is not putting it too
strongly to say that the Supreme Coun-
cil has found it necessary to bring pres
sure to bear upon the Jugo Slavs to
restrain them. The Supreme Coun-
Gil is anxious to give Italy free
chance to work out her own salvation
in the crisis without hindrance.
Jugo-Slavs late today issued state
ment denying that their armies were
mobiizing for a march on d'Annunzio's
fC rGes at Fiume.

. Chicago, Sept. 25-While more
chimneys began to belch smoke in the
Chicago steel strike zone today there
was no decided change in the situation
along the Lake shore from South
Chicago to Gary. The Illinois Steel
company lighted up two more fur
naces in its Bessemer plant at South
Chicago, making six now in operation.

to have started up, while the slab mill

Pittsburg, Penn, Sept. 25.-Whlle
asserting that the tendency of strikers
to dribble back to the plans is con.
tinuing, officials of the Carnegie Steel
company said tonight that the strike
might take sudden turn either way
and that the situation might suddenly
become far worse in the mills.
Secretary w 2. Foster, of the COM
mittee organizing the steel workers,
claimed no additional gains, but de-
clared that there should be no deser-
tions from their ranks,
I'VE would rather see the strike con
tinue for six months" said an official
of the Carnegie Steel company, who
saw reporters here at the company Of
flee today, rather than see it won by
the men conducting the present strike.
We believe the country could well af.
ford TO suffer indefinitely from short
age of steel, rather than have vic
tory Of this magnitude won by such
men as Foster and the other leaders,
because it would put the entire Ameri-
can Federation of Labor under the
leadership of the radicals.
If these organizers won they would
control the steel workers, and the
stockyards men who were organized
by them. With these vast bodies con,
trolled by radicals, and with the radi.
Gals nearly in control of the miners,
these leaders would win the control
of the American Federation OF Labor
from the top to bottom, but can tell
you that, no matter how long the strike
may last. we will win it eventually
without yielding in any particular :"
