Washington, Sept. 24-The Italian
government was Informed last July of
nunzio for his Fiume adventure. ac-
cording to the Italian Socialist paper
Avanti, extracts from which We're ca
lied from Geneva TO the official infor-
nation bureau here of the kingdom of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The
paper also asserted that the allies
were told of the action of D'AnnunziO's
accomplices in Fiume long before the
soldIer-poet carried out his campaign.
AT the beginning of July, inmedi-
ately after the great demonstration
and attacks In the press against Sig
nor Nitti, the Avanti was quoted ms
saying Gabrielle dAnnunzio sent one
of his most trusted friends to the pre-
nier to inform the latter that he
O'Annunzio) was ready to come to an
understanding with him, but that he
asked to be allowed to carry out, on
his own responsibility, the expedition
in regard TO which the government had
already received certain information,

fail, by warning its most active mem
bers of the consequences of their acts.
'D'Annunzio caused all the possibil-
tiles OF favorable issue of his plan to
lie laid before Signor Nitti, and af-
firmed that the allies would accept the
fat accompli.'
premier Nitti replied that the polit-
ical, economic and military conse-
ouencas of such an undertaking would
g very serious. He added that, while
poet, he would give orders TO arrest
him If he should try to carry out any
such adventure.
THE government knew that Dan
nunzio's accomplices We're an admiral
and two generals who were stationed
at Fiume, and whom the government
was forced to remove from their com
i:iands.
''ID spite of all this. D'Annunzio car
ried out his plan, which is difficult to
understand when one remembers that
the expedition was organized and car
ried out on the territory of the war
zone, which is under direct orders of
general headquarters.
"The allies We're informed of the ac
tivities of the admiral and the two gen
erals mentioned above All this had
great Influence on the result, unfavor-
able to Italy. of the interallied inquiry,
carried out at Fiume"

Albuquerque, n. M.-Bishop Francis
J. Mcconnell of Denver, In an address
before the New Mexico Methodist con
ference, declared this government
should withdraw its protection OF cit
izenship from any American who en-
cages in saloon business below the
border in Mexico, or who engages In
business in any other country that is
outlawed in this country. He said seri-
Gus conditions will be fostered If liq-

looms throughout northern Mexico.
