TO BE AUSTRIA'S !
OR ITALY''S? FIuME /
VOTES oA QUESTION

FIUME, Wednesday, Dec. 17.-Ob-
stacles to the withdrawal Of Captain
Gabrielle D'Annunzio's forces brought
about q new turn in the Fiuman situa-
ton today and may block acceptance
Of proposals made by General Badog-
lio, Italian chief Of stan. :
Strong pressure Is being exerted by
large number Of soldiers who wish
to remain in Flume until formal an
nexation to Italy is promised and there
are also various elements Of the an
nexationists waiting stronger guaran-
tees, even insisting that the present
garrison be maintained here AZ q
regular Italian garrison under the
command Of D'Annunzio.
/ Feehng' is running at highest pitch
preparatory to the plebiscite which
will be held tomorrow. A meeting
was held this evening to discuss var.
ious phases Of the question. It was
announced as open only to citizens of
Fiume,. but it was packed with officers
who have donned citizens clothes to
gain admission. Most Of the rest of
the audience was made p'of women
and girls.
There was some confusion and heck
ling between the various groups, one
man who ventured to address the
meeting as "a Fiuman who had fought
for Italy,, being sharply questioned
by a spectator who said he was "a
Fiuman who had fought for Austria
Hungary because being a Fiuman he
was an Austro-Hungarian subject"
The Secretary of the ,Fuime nation
posal made by General Badoglio
urging its acceptance as tantamount
to annexation to Italy.
''This proposal" he declared, "says
the Italian government, guarantees the
occupation of F1ume shall be by reg
| ular troops, exclusively Italian. That
! means they will not be British,
French or American. 1t means there
will be no foreign troops, mission
delegation nor any representative OF
foreign army in Fiume."
D'Annunzio Was King.
| Commander Rizzo. chief of the
| |D'Annunzian navy, said that Captain
D'Annunzio's troops would be taker
back to Italy and would be permitted
to rejoin the army without punish
ment. Answering those asking for the
retention of the present garrison un
der Captain D'Annunzio, he said
D'Annunzio could not remain with tht
garrison, for a general would be sen
to command it.
"D'Annunzio has been more than ,
king, said Rizzo, "and he cannot b
allowed to serve under a general sen
by the italian government"
Other speakers urged the brigadinl
Of half the present garrison with tn
same number Of regulars. A larg'
number of officers and men wish Il

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-All gener-
al appropriations for 1921 will be
pared down "in accordance with strict

naval departments, the estimates of
which are less than for the present
year, majority leader Mondell, Wyom-
ing, told the House today when the
first urgent deficiency bill of this ses.
sion was brought up.
Greatest reductions would be made
in the army and Notifications esti-
mates, he said, the former request to-
tallicg $9S2,S00,020 and the latter
s117 $3.50, an increase Of more than
$1O6 100000 over the present apprpria-
tion.
The balance Of estimated liabilities
over receipts, Mr.. Mondell said, is
s., ,05O, ,5OS,574. Estimates of expendi-
lures he said, would suggest excess
iveness This he explained was true,
adding cat least we must make this
excessiveness true when we write our
appropriation bills, make it. true by re-
ductions of hundreds of millions of
dollars.
Total estimated receipts for the year
he said are 035,s5O,000.
These official estimates Of the re-
ceipts" he added "are notable in that
they carry no estimate of receipts on
account of interest on our loans OF
nearly $4,000. 100000 to foreign gov
ernments. This interest II paid, would
increase our receipts and tighten oul
burdens for the year by $500, 0,000, 900.
| Funding of interest on foreign OBJ
legations for two or three years would
increase foreign loans at least $4,000,
100000 above the present figure, Mr.
Mondell said.
+ "The fact that such action has beer
taken by the secretary Of the treas
ury" he explained, reduces our in
comes or increases our outlays, half q
billion dollars annually"
Congress should cut the estimates a,
least a billion dollars and refuse every
request which is not imperative, hi
added. No provisions for increased
pay for officers Of the army or navy o.
the nurses corps, nor estimates To-
loans, bonuses or development pro

Now. and then we are amazed to
meet some one from up North who
because they happen to be away
down South" are suspicious that they
may find prejudice or antagonism for
Northerners. Never a more mistaken
idea. The people of this section are
cosmopolitan, liberal and tolerant. OF
course, now and then one is found
who doesn't know the civil war is over
but you find his or her counterpart
in the North. These people repre-
sent their individuality, not their sec
tions. People from every section Of
the country are building Florida, and
all are cordially welcomed. In com
ing here one should leave his owr
prejudices behind and he will not b,
so apt to look for any here.
