POETS CAMPAIGN WEARS CLIMAX IN MOVE AGAINST MONARCHY OF
 ITALY; REBELLION IS PROPOSED

LONDON Nov. 22.-(F)-That the adventure which took Annunzio to Plume and found its repetition at Zara may yet prove be revolution against the present Italian government is indicated by advices being received here from time time. Emboldened by h1s immunity from punishment for the seizure of Plume and the sue cess of his raid Zara, DAnnunzlO appears to be a preaching climax in his campaign.
 It is indicated that he proposes to annex the entire province of Damata and attack Montenegro. The ,Jugo-Slavs are concentrating troops for resistance against further encroacents into territory which they consider their own.
 It is also reported that there is strong ndercurrent existing among DAnnunzo troops directed against the Italian monarchy Many of them want their leader to overthrow that government and become president ot an Italian republic. This sentiment appears to be growing daily stronger among his adherents.
 SUPPORT IN ITALY
 ROME Nov 22.-(49-In semi-oficial statement issued here today the Italian government shows that It is not unaware of the of affairs existing in tlume The statement says that only minority in D AnnunAos is urging him to proceed against the Italian gov ernment Those who advising that course are count ing on the support of friends in the interior o Italy and persist in the idea of attempting seditious acton against the monarchy. No measness is shown by any of the officials over the situation far it threatens change in Italy.

STEAMERS PUSH
WAY TO DAWSON
FROM BOUNDARY

There is a report in general cir
culation in Nenana and Fairbanks
today to the effect that the steam
ers Alaska and Seattle No. 8, which
were stopped by the ice a short
distance below Fortymile several
days ago, resumed their voyage up
the Yukon yesterday afternoon and
reached Dawson during the night,
from which point they expected to
push on to Whitehorse. The News
cannot vouch for the truth of the
report, but it seems to be generally
accepted as true, especially in view
of the fact that it has been known
here for couple of days that an
attempt would be made to reach
Dawson at the first opportunity.
Nothing of an official character has
been learned at the local Office Of
the company, but Agent John H.
Scott feels reasonably certain that
the report is true.
An Associated Press dispatch re-
ceived by The News last night
stated that steam was being kept
up in the boilers of all four Of the
icebound boats, indicating that
start was contemplated whenever ice
conditions in the river would per-
NIT. 1t is considered doubtful, how
ever, if the Yukon and the Wash
burn have left their positions below
Circle yet.
The passengers aboard the boats
are assisting the crews to cut wood
TO take the steamers up stream. the
supposition being that they will start
with all the wood possible, so as
to eliminate stops along the river,
once they have started. The ac-
emulation of ice on the banks of
the stream doubtless will make it
difficult, if not impossible, to reach
the company woodpiles at some
points.
Capto;1 George Green stated al
Fairbanks several days ago, before
leaving for the Outside by way of
the Richardson trail. that it prob
ably would be possible for the boats
to reach Whitehorse if they could
get to Dawson.

was sung by Mrs. Walter Gould.

tically all the ground was wet.
