DANNUNZIO RAID
THRILLS ALL EUROPE
Paris Doubts Serious Conse-
quences for Invader.
By stag Correspondent Of The Sun.


PARIS, Sept 15.-Gabriele dAnnun-
zio's spectacular entrance into Fiume
at the head of his legion of Irredentists
is the romantic adventure of the century
and thrills Europe at a time when the
continent is gravely In danger of becom-
ing a neurasthenic wreck. The Italian
poet-soldier's exploit electrified Europe
by its audacity, but failed to produce
any serious misgivings as to its conse-
Quences.
AS for possible political consequences
OF the descent on Fiume, not even the
most pessimistic OF observers believe
anything more serious will result than
a reprlmand for the hot headed poet
and 'hls two thousand lyricists," as a
French writer puts II. There is no
doubt that d'Annunzios feat has
touched a sympathetic note in the heart
of every Partisan. There's something
typically Partisan about d'Annunzios
passionate adventure" says another
French writer.
The proverbial French ardor for the
romantic and daring appears to be ap-
preciably neutralized by the reflection
that the incident may retard the solu-
ton OF the Adriatic problem. 1t Is felt
that the Italian Government has been
momentarily placed In an extremely en-
barrassing position with her allies at q
particularly unfortunate period.
