Rome Begins to View With Alarm the Possibility of Another War-Sug- gestiOn That President Will
 son Keep Out.

Rome, Sept. 25.-Rome itself is viewing with alarm the increasing seriousness of the international situa- tion brought about by the seizure of Plume by Gabrielle d'Annunzio, the author-aviator Fired by patriotic fervor other leaders have arisen who are threatening to occupy all of the important towns in the vicinity of Plume, now held by the Jugo-Slavs.
 As the Messagero in commenting on the situation said: Do you want an- other war;" so others are beginning to fear that real trouble is brewing. This is accented by dispatches from Paris in which General Giuseppe Garibaldi is quoted as saying that Italy would go to war again if ne- cessary to impress the entente that Italy was determined to retain Plume.
 Paris, Sept 25.-Apparently in emulation of Captain Gabrielle d'An- nunzio, whose dramatic seizure of Plume has centered the attention of the world on the eastern littoral of the Adriatic, other Italian leaders are reported to be advancing on Spalato, Sebenico and Frau, important towns along the coast which have been un- der the control of Jugo-Slav forces. Peace conference circles are plainly concerned over the situation, which seems to have become quite grave.
 Belgrade advices declare Italian soldiers have overpowered 9 small Jugo-Slav force at Toguire, and have entered the town. It is probable that the place mentioned is Trogir, the Creation section of the city of Frau, about fifteen miles northwest of Spalato. Further south there appear also to be disorders, reports from Rome indicating there is a virtual reign of terror at Ragusa. a Dalma- tian town close to the frontier of Montenegro.
 Would Restore Nicholas.
 In addition. there are rumors that the Italians plan to restore King Nicholas to the Montenegrin throne from which he was busted by action of the national assembly last April This action of the national assembly has never been recognized by the roy al Montenegrin government, which has maintained its headquarters near Paris for several months King Nich- olas is the father of Queen Helena of Italy
 
 So far as is known definitely, no an- swer to proposals made by Italy rela- tive to Plume has been received from President Wilson, altho it is intimated in unofficial Italian circles that it has arrived. There is disposition on the part of the Italians to reject any proposition looking to compromise, the claim being made that the storm turnout their country can be calmed only by giving Plume to Italy. There are hints, too, that a governmental crisis may develop as result of the situation.
 Ready to Fight.
 The crisis thru which Italy is pass ing is imputed to the great powers by General Giuseppe (Peppinc) Gari- baldi in an interview printed in the Petit Parisen this morning He re breaches them for not having given Italy all that was promised in the Treaty of London and declares it to be the intention of the Italian people to keep Plume 4even at the price of another war"
 "It depends on France and Eng land" he says, whose populations are with Italy in the Plume affair. Whatever should be President Will sons answer to Italy's proposals, we will say to him that this dispute is be- tween Europeans and must be settled between Europeans. We know the American, French and British peoples are with us in this matter"
