F|UME TO Be HELD
OR DESTROYED By
D 'ANNUNZ|O FORCE
POETANIiT0R HAS 10000 MEN
ENTRENCHED AROUND CITY,
DEFYlNG GOVERNMENT

Paris, Sept 1S.-Italy is throwing
a naval and military Gordon about the
city Of Fiume, which still is held by
capt. Gabrielle d'Announzio's forces
Food supplies of Fiume are reported
TO be low and an effort is being made
to close all avenues by which stores
can be rushed into the city and thus
to force the surrender of the troops
holding the place.
Advices here indicate that Captain
dAnnunzio's men have cntrenched
themselves about the city and intend
to defend it against any attack which
may be made. In the event it is found
impossible to hold Fiume, it is said,
plans have been laid to destroy the
city.
General Badoglio, deputy chief of
staff of the Italian army, is in Fiume
and has issued II proclamation call
ing on the d'Annunzio troops to re-
turn to their unit. Some are said 20
lave left the city. General Dia2, com.
mandcr-in-chief of the Italian army,
has been recalled from his vacation
and has been in conference at Rome
with King Victor Emmanuel AMI Pre-.
mier Nitti.
Az dispatches relating to the s!tua.
ton at Fiume are being subjected to
rigorous censorship by the italian soy
crnment, but it is reported that Rear
AdmiIal Casanova, who landed at
Fiume on Tuesday to restore order,
is under virtual arrest there.
1t develops that there were no Am
oricau Getachments in Fiume when
Captain d'Annunzio marched into the
city last week Early reports from
Itd.y stated that American units mad
left by steamer, but the only Aneri-
cans there were members Of the Am
crican food administration mission,
who might have been mistaken for sol
dicrs because they wore United Stats
army uniforms.

FIRST TRAIN OF REFUGEES
FROM COAST BEARS MANY
WHO TELL STORM STORIES

san Antonio, Texas, Sept. 1S.-A
san Antonio and Aransas Pass train
bearing the first refugees from the
storm swept coast country reached san
Antonio "Wednesday night. Passen-
gers told tales of storm waters, wreck
age floating past windows and a walk
OF 10 miles to catch the train.
All from Corpus Christi had been
on the journey since Monday morning
about 10 o'clock, getting to Robstown,
where they discovered that train ser.
wee was tied up, and and from there
they walked to Odem, 10 miles to catch
Il train which brought them in.
The train of nine coaches carried
about 700 persons the majority of them
MeXicans who had been picking cotton
around Taft and vicinity. Few car
ricd by the train were from Corpus
Christi or the coast towns, as every
one who made the train had to walk
for miles. But these few had tales
of horror unbelievable, though they
escaped before the real situation was
more than guessed at
The real stories were those in the
little towns back of the coast" said
a. a. Thomas of San Antonio, among
the few passengers who got out of
Corpus Christi, on Monday, for they
were the folks who had floated in
from Corpus Christi and the coast and
every one had a story to tell. Your
ears got numb listening.
"The stations and towns at Odem,
Sinton, and places about, were packed
and jammed with people, refugees who
have gotten that far back. We got
as far as Robstown on the first train
out of Corpus Christi only to find
that washouts between there and Odem
forbade any train service. With a
few others we walked for miles and
sat up all night in the station, finally
getting out today
\ thrilling story of the heroism and
quick thinking of an old sea captain
at Port Arkansas in rescung the inhab.
tants Of the island port was brought
back by Robert Galbreath of Tulsa,
Okla. who was in Aransas Pass on
business when the storm broke.
In all that mass of stuff we have
heard, | have forgotten the captains

know that the people of Port Aransas
owe their lives to him. As the water
came in. this old captain, who has
charge of some government boat there,
steered his ship in over the island to-
ward the sand ridges where the peo-
pie were perched hunting safety. AS
the water rose, he went still farther
in, slowing the folks away on his ship
and sailing over the island from one
sand hill to another.
There was certainly a rousing re-
ception when he made his way to Ar
ansas Pass Monday about o'clock
with that first boat load. Some of
them had to be lifted off, some We're
able to walk; but | tell you they were
all glad to get on land once more.
He hadn't gotten all, but the rest
We're on higher ground and fairly
safe, so the boat went back loaded with
provisions for them and the rest were
eventually brought over"
The water rose three feet in the
Neuces Hotel, declared Il. l.. Canipes

the wage increase to be. demanded by
the United Mine Workers of America
in the conference with the operators of
the central competitive district at Buff

formulated by the scale committee of
the association, but it will amount prob

ARE ALE THINGS USEFUL?
II So, What Is the Explanation Of the
Mosquito and the Moth!

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. There
are three things in nature for which
there seems to be absolutely no use In
this world, namely, moths. mosquitoes
and bedbugs. 1t is different in the
case Of venomous reptiles. such as
snakes. of toads and the tailless bull
frog. which are voracious scavengers
and destroyers of noxious insects.
The long tail. sharp tooth crocodile OF
the Nile and alligators. which inhabit
inland rivers and lakes in the torrid
zone OF North and South America, with
four feet. five toes on each of the fore
feet and four on the hind. armed with
claws and a serrated tail for self-de-
fence, may have a purpose in the great
geological creation of things and be-
ings.
1t is not my purpose to writs dis
scrtation on entomology or zoology. but
merely to PROFOUND the question and
try to find II any of your myriad of
res ders can succinctly explain the why
and wherefore of the moth, the mosquito

to the officers and men OF the Twenty
seventh Maine Infantry. This has
been a blot on the history of the
Medal Of Honor. To induce the men
Of the regiment to stay in the service
after their term of enlistment expired
ON June 30, 1868, the promise of the
Medal Of Honor was held out to those
who would remain In the field. Three
hundred and nine officers and men
agreed to stay, but the remainder in
sisted on their discharge. BY some
"inadvertence" all the members Of the
regiment received the medal. The
board, in conformity with the defence
act, has put all these men on the
stricken list, but It recommends that
the War Department defer action
pending a possible reconsideration of
the law by Congress. And, indeed,
Congress should take action. The 800
men who volunteered to remain in
the field In those parlous days before
Gettysburg was won were certainly
entitled to their medals, which had
been promised by. the Secretary of
War In General Orders. The present
conception Of the requirements for the
decoration cannot be applied now,
ffty-six years later, in ex post facto
legislation. And Just as certainly the
soldiers who refused to stay should
be stricken from the medal roll.
While 1t is manifestly unfair to
humiliate a man by taking from him
a medal honestly won at a time when
the award was not very carefully
hedged in, there can be no objection
to the safeguarding Of the grant of
the Medal of Honor in the future.
AS the report Of the board says,
Medals Of Honor should be reserved
as the highest military decoration, to
be awarded to officers and enlisted
men only and as now prescribed in the
Army Regulations, which, in the opin-
Ion Of the board, should be enacted
into law to prevent future meddling
and MISUNDERSTANDING and to en-
nance the value of the award"
Meanwhile let Congress change the
national dc 'ence act so that, for in-
stance, an officer Of LINcoLN's funeral
guard will not be liable to prosecution
for wearing his Medal of Honor.

Pay Of Post once Employees.

Civil service employees of the post
Offices presented an argument to the
President which may deserve public
attention, although Mr.. WILSON by his
response to the employees representa-
tives seemed to give 1t no weight. He
classed postal clerks and carriers with
railway shopmen, saying that they,
too, should wait for relief by low
cred cost Of living. This, those who
appealed to the President assert, ig-
nores the fact that postal employees
haye not been benefited by pay in
creases as have the shopmen; that the
clerks and carriers, receiving but a
trifle more now than they did during
many pre'war. years, are still paid
from 80 per cent. to 40 per cent. less
than shopmen and therefore have that
much less with which to buy food
and clothing for their families.
If the Presidents decision is adopted
by Congress, which is engaged in an
investigation of the pay of postal civil
service employees, it is probable that
many large post offices already handi-
capped in efficiency by the retirement
of old and skilled employees and by
inability to obtain competent men to
replace them will be badly crippled
by still more numerous losses of ex-
perienced clerks and carriers who will
seek jobs in better paid service.
