believed they will be drastic.
Will Quiet Country.
Nitti's adversaries assert that his
resignation will solve the Fiume
crisis and quiet the country.
I'VE are not on the eve Of revolu-
ton; we are not on the verge of
bankruptcy and we are not over
taken by famine" says the Corriere
Della Sierra. The only alarming
thing in the whole situation seems
to be the governments nervous
ness"
Government leaders. past and
present, have been invited by Nitti
TO participate in the crown council.
To Attend.
Those who will meet with the
council include the former premiers
Boselh. Gioliti and Orlando, Gen.
Diaz, the president Of the chamber
of deputies and the president Of the
senate.
Reports Of d'Annunzio's success
and popularity continue TO reach
Rome. A dispatch from Trieste 10
the Mesa aggero reports that dan
nunzios forces have occupied To-
guire on the Dalmatian coast. To-
guire is lao miles from Fiume by
land and still farther by sea.
D'Annunzio is preparing a mes
sage TO the American nation with
regard to the Fiume situation. ac-
cording TO advices received here.
