FIUME MADE FREE STATE.
Settlement Reached by Powers at Peace
Council

Washington, Sept 1S.-A settlement
of the Fiume controversy. represent
ing compromise between Italy anG
Jugo- Slavia. has been reached by the
powers at the Paris reace conference
The compromise plan has been ca
bled to Washington for submission to
President Wilson, who stirred up tho
row in the first place by refusing 10
consent to the annexation Of Fiume to
Italy.
Under the terms of the settlement
| submitted to the president Fiume will
be q separate state, the harbor to be
a free port
The kingdom of the Serbs, Croats
and Sovencs will receive the entire
Damatian mainland except the city
of cara, which Is to be n free port.
The Jugo- Slavs will also obtain most
Of the DaImatian islands.
Italy is to receive n mandate over
Albania, excepting the extreme south
ern part, called Eplrus. which will be
assigned to Greece.
Valon (Avlona). together with the
surrounding region. will como under
Italian sovereignty.
The boundary line between italy
and the Kingdom Of the Serbs. Croats
and Slovenes has been redrnwn, both
nations having made concessions.
Under the settlement Italy 1cin
qushes considerable territory on the
eastern shore Of tn: Adriatic which
was assigned to 1t under the treaty
of London, but that pact was sub
stantially carried out in the provisions
respecting Albania. tiumc undcr that
treaty was assigned to Croatin, which
at the time Of the drafting OF the
agreement was enemy territory. tile
prospect for the union of Croatia with
Serbia not having been formulated -
til a considerable time after Italy htd
entered the war. ..
The compromise settlement Is be-
lieved TO provide Il way for the iiiti
mate union Of F'iume with Italy. which
President Wilson was able to prevent
during the peace negotiations.
rhe selection OF Italy as the manda
tory for Albania Is a recognition Of
the civilzing work accomplished in
that country by Italy during the war.
italy has introduced into Albania mod
ern systems Of sanitation, education
and jurisprudence and there has been
overwhelming proof of the gratitude
of Albanians in Albania to Italy. which,
1t Is said, the powers could not ig-
more.

to official intelligence received here,
has put into execution a land and sea
blockade against DAnnunzio and his

HOOVER SEES SOCIALISM WANE.
Killing Itself OF by Brutality and
Non-Productivity.


New York, Sept. 1S.-TWo dom
inaut convictions in the mind of Her
bert Hoover after his five years serv-
ice abroad are that socialism Is bank
rupting ITSELF and that America must
not abandon its moral leadershis>in re :
storing order in the world, nor permit
itself to be used for experiment in So
cial Diseases.
In an address at dinner of the
American Institute of Mining ana
Metallurgical Engineers, at which ne
was the guest of honor, he declared
that the philosophy Of the Lenines ana
Trotzkys was destroying itself from
a startling quarter in the extraordinary
lowering of productivity of industrial
commodities to a point below the ne
cessity for continued existence of their
millions Of people,"
Referring to the revolution in Rus
sia, he said:
"Altho socialism has now proved
itself with rivers of blood and suffer-
ing to be an economic and spiritual
fallacy and to have wrecked itself on
the rock of production. I believe it was
necessary for the world to have had
this demonstration. 1t is not neces-
sary, however. that we of the United
States plunge our own population into
these miseries and into a laboratory
for experiment In foreign social dis
eases"
Mr.. Hoover declared the enemy col-
lapsed mot only from military and
naval defeat, but from economic eX-
haustion. In this race the allies were
not far behind. BY this exhaustion,
the whole Of Europe faced famine
the like Of which had not been seen
since the thirty years war. when q
third Of the population died of starva-
tion."
The problem Of the rehabilitation CT
Europe, Mr.. Hoover said, was equiva-
lent to providing for the needs of 2Oo,-
100000 Of people.

Fiume. Food supplies are reported to
be low and an effort Is being made to
