D'Annunizio Says VIII

Ruins Unless All Is

BY JOHN o'BRIEN

Paris, Oct. 4.--Gabrieie D'Annun-
zio, the poet warrior. who has stirred
all Italy with the fervor of patriot
respondent this evening that his army
of 10000 men will burn Fiume and
die in the ruins rather than accept
any settlement, unless the entire city,
port railways and surrounding ter
rftory are awarded to Italy
Looking from the windows of the
governors palace where D'Annunzia
received me. could sec laying in the
harbor more than 20 Italian torpedo
boats composing the poets feet.
The palace was thronged with young
and enthusiastic officers, members of
his general staff The people of
Fiume were attending to the ordinary
business but the streets were filed
with troops, infantry artillery and

a score OF infantry camps.
Apparently there were at least
5000 troops massed there. When
told DAnnunzio of this he said:
We are ready for anything. We
have 20. 900 trained soldiers in Fiume.
The croats will never enter Fiume.

| asked the poet what was likely
to happen If Premier Nitti should pur-
sue his present course. His reply
was:
Il do not believe Nitti can con-

reactionaries in Italy Today is the

Admiral Cagua has arrived in

INSPECTORS
UNEARTH BOMB PLOT
Atlanta M e c h a nj c ,
K now n as "Poison
Needle Man." Charged
With Mailing Bomb to
Officer.

Auanta. Ga, Oct. A bomb con-
tanning dynamite. T. N. T. and nitro
glycerine, mailed at the Atlanta post
Office on Sept 90 and addressed to
Captain John II. Kneubel, U. s. A, at
his home in Ebernezer, N y. was
described here today by federal postal
inspectors who have been investlgat-
ing the ease since it was reported by
Captain kneubel
The bomb contained sufficient high
explosives to destroy an entire build
ing, 1t was declared The reason for
its non-explosion was that in cancel
ling the postage stamps on the pack
age clerk in the Atlanta postoft1ce,
quite without his knowledge disrupt
ed the firing apparatus.
In revealing the case the inspec-
tors told story of a tangled alleged
love intrigue, involving the names of
Mrs Pearl McMillen Carter, a hand
some divorce and Paul f. Carter, a
mechanic. who is now in the Dekalb
county jail.
Had the bomb exploded while be-
ing handled in the postoaice here, the
inspectors said, the building would
undoubtedly have been wrecked.
According to the postal inspectors
who investigated the case. Captain
kneubel had been seen frequently
with the pretty Mrs Carter in Allan
ia having met her while enroute to
Atlanta On train from South Caro-
! lima.
Mrs. Carter was a civilian employe
at Camp Gordon and on Septem Der
Is ii was declared. Garter met her
outside the camp and engaged in an
alteration.
Mrs. Carter declared he had re-
monstrated with her for being seen
with army officers naming Captain
kneuble as one of them, she said
She said he carried a pistol and
threatened her il she did not accom-
pany him to this city.
He was taken into custody by De-
kalb county officials little later and
In default of $1,000 bail is now being
held.
DISCIAIMS INTIMACY
The officials declared Carter ad-
nitted to them that he had mailed
"a communication" to Captain Kneu-
BILE but denied that he had sent a
bomb or that he had any knowledge
thereof. Questioned as to the nature
OF the communication" however. he
declined to tell what 1t contained.
Captain Kneubei, the inspectors said
disclaimed any particular intimacy
with Mrs. Carter He said that they
had dfned several times together here
during his stay at Camp Gordon and
that he knew her merely as a friend.
The bomb was original IN design,
being fashioned from a photograph
