ITALY APPEALS TO ALLIES TODRIVE OUT TINSURGENTS
Italian Government Asks That Allied Force, Exclu- sive of Italians, Be Sent to Force D'AnnunziO From City of Plume
By Associated Prea

London, September 22-The italian government has ap. pealed to the allied powers to send an allied force, exclusive of Italians, to drive D'Annun- zio out of Plume, according to a report here tonight, which is considered reliable.
 It is understood that the American naval authorities here, who control the operation in the Adriatic, have de- clined any assistance whatsoever, pending the final decision from Wash inston or'the peace delegates in Paris.
 The Italian government, 1t is re- ported, has pointed out in its appeal that it would be difficult for Italy to handle the situation, in view of D'An- nunxiO's popularity with the Italian people. and also because of the fact that the Plume decision has been thorn in the side of the Italians.
 It is understood the Italian govern ment declared that it deplored the situation and did not wish to make the slightest move against the decision of the peace conference. hut pointedly i'm ferred that If D'Annunzio's hold on Plume was to be weakened it must be done by other than Italian troops.
 The Associated Press learns that even should the appeal he favorabiy received no United States troops are available. and pending instructions from high authority the United States naval vessels would stay outside the three-mile limit.

TWO PLANS SUBMITTED

Rome. Saturday, September 2o-From conversations which several senators and deputies have had with Premier Nitti and Foreign Minister Tittoni, 1t seems two plans were submitted to President Wilson concerning Plume, both of them indorsed by France and England
 According to one, Plume would be given to Italy, but it's hinterland, to- Geshen with Eastern Istria, would be given by Italy to Jugo-Slavia. The second plan would make Plume an absolutely independent city and the hinterland. together with Eastern Is- tria, would become an independent state ruled by an international commission or by the league of nations The latter project would be practically the same as advocated by Andre Tardieu some months ago.
 In either case the port of Plume would be internationalized The opn- ion is expressed here that, especially after Gabrielle D'Annunzio's act in seiz- ing the city, neither of the schemes would satisfy the Italian people.
