Permier Nitti Says Remainder
Of Italian Army Corps Re-
fused to Oisarm Troops Re-
sponsibIe for Recent Raid.
D'ANNUNZlO. LEADER
OF SEDITIOUS FORCES
Remains at Head of Large
Body Of Soldiers in Adriat'c
Port and InstaIIs Himself in
Army Command Bureau.

Rome. Sept. l4.-Premier Nitti in
a statement in the chamber of depu-
ties regarding the Frme raid, an
nounced that the remainder of the
Sixth Army Corps had been ordered
to intercept and disarm Gabrielle D.
Annunzio's troops, but that these
troops had refused to obey the COM
mander's orders.
The latest advices were to the
effect that the situation arising
from the coup was serious and the
premier declared he was determined
to act in a manner to avoid grave
conflicts. He deplored what had
happened, because for the time Sc
dition, though for idealistic aims,
had entered the Italian army. The
Epoca announces that General Ba-
doglio, deputy chief of staff has
gone to Fiume armed with full
powers.
10000 Men Behind Him.
DAnnunzio, according to some
reports, entered the city of Fiume
at the head OF from 5000 to 10000
men.
Signor Nitti gave full details of the
report of the military authorities at
Fiume, showing that D'Annunzio's S
troops had overcome all re-
sistance and entered the city and
that the war minister's order to dis
arm and return them to the armis-
tice line was not carried out be-
cause, as General Robilant reported
to the minister. "the detail to carry
out the order had failed him"
News received Saturday at noon
showed that D'Amunzio's troops,
described as numbering $500, were
still in Fiume and that the post
had announced that he intended to
install himself in the army COM
mand bureau. Parts of the Sixth
Artillery regiment and cyclist
corps apparently were marching on
Fiume Saturday and General Fer
rari, commanding the supervision
troops on the armistice line was
marching to stop them. Signor
Nitti expressed strong deprecia ton
OF what he termed the misgiven
deed OF D'Annunzio. because he
said it would propagate the belief
abroad of the violent imperialistic
spirit of the Italian people and re-
suit in Italian aspirations in the
Adriatic being met with strong op-
position.
Fears Service Rendered.
mo worse service could be rem
dered to the cause we are defending
and have defender he said.
Signor Nitti declared that the
government had taken every meas
ure to prevent such acts as had
occurred at Fiune and said the re-
sponsibility for it would be inves-
tigated.
The premier stoutly denied that
the government encouraged such
moves as occupation of Fiume and
characterized as "lunatics betraying
the cause of. the fatherland" those
who advocated protests and mad
acts" against France and the
United States,

American Legion Will Assist in Ad
ustinq Claims.

Many soldiers, sailors and marines
find, at the time of being discharged,
that their financial relations with the
government have become complicated
or entangled. Perhaps their war risk
policies have lapsed, allotments have
not been received by dependents, Lib
erty bonds have not been delivered,
the bonus of $50 has not been re-
ceived, extra mileage for travel home
has not been allowed or that back pay
is due and compensation under the
disability provisions of the war risk
insurance act. The American Legion,
the great organization of world war
soldiers, has established a department
to adjust these affairs and soldiers
who have claims under any of these
headings are requested to file them
with the organization. Address the
Idaho branch of the American Legion,
Pocatello, Idaho. Every applicant
will receive prompt attention.
